BERXSTORFF VISITS LANSING No Reference Is Made to Any Other Probksn During Conference Except the Marina Affidavit of Bnrvlvors Know Vessel Waa Not Warned. (HOrert j. bender.) WASHINGTON. Dec 1. The Mate deportment has received Germany's answer to the American Inquiries re' garding the Marina torpedoing. Sec relary Lansing refused to reveal the dctulls in accordince with his policy of withholding all information on In ternational prohlems. Ambassndor Bernstorff visited Lan Inn for the first time In many weeka shortly after the message arrived. It Is believed the Incident portends elg nlflcant developments In the German- American situation. It Is learned on good authority that Germany stands ready to pay Indem nlty for the American lives lost on the Marina, apologise and punish the sub marine commander, provided the evi dence shows the sinking was unjusti fied. The answer said the present evidence la incomplete and lnconclu--slve. Bernstorff requested Lansing to give Germany further facta The German reply and Bernstorffs visit Indicate that Germany Intend to admit ber guilt later. The circum stance are very similar to those sur rounding the Sussex case. Bernstorffs visit waa solely for the -purpose of discussing the Marina. No reference waa made to the settlement of the Lusltanla matter or other problem. Germany contends that the British engaged the Marina as a horse trans port. Her admiralty charter was re moved 'before the torpedoing. Ger many contends that the Marina's pre vious admiralty service par.llaly ex cuses torpedoing. The state depart ment affidavits of survivors show con clusively that the Marina was sunk without warning.

HIGH SCHOOL BEATS "All STABS" 20-0 tat uol Lads Prove Too Fast and Too Well conditioned for Pick-up Team of -Has ueens." Pendleton high school's football giaaiatora proved too fast and too well conditioned for the galaxy of "All mars" who met them In a Thanksgiving day battle at Round up Park yesterday afternoon.

In the first half Bow man, the speedy backfield star of the P. H. 8. team, wot away around end and sprinted 30 yards for a touchdown. The "All Stars" braced thereafter and until the last period kept their opponents from further scoring. Early in the last quarter Casey punted to the "All Star" five yard ! line and McDonald, thinking it would roll over the goal line, delayed his efforts to pounce upon It until too late. A high school player fell on It j Just Inside the goal line and In two plavs It was carried over for a touch down. Not until then did the high school open with an aerial attack. Two sue. ceasful forward passes, with the UI rlch brothers and Snyder and Casey figuring, put the ball over for an other touchdown In short order. When play started again, the "prep pers" again started their forward passes and soon had the exhausted old timers fighting In the shadow of their goal. A buck or two put the pigskin across. For the "All Stars" Hinderman, during the time ha wag In. the came. was the most successful offensive man. Kirkpatrick.

Methodist, Christian and Presbjterian churches In the morning at the Baptist church There was a large attendance to lis ten to the sermon on the text, "Be Ye Thankful,' as preached by Rev. J. E. Snyder of the Presbyterian church. At the conclusion of the services, the Mosaic League, having for its purpose the creation of public senti ment against profanity, was organ ised with Judge Stephen A. Lowell as sponsor. Membership was securea through the circulation of a preamble and constitution for signatures. Its sponsors hope to extend Its Influence over the nation so that the organiza tion may become as effective as the Y M. C A. and similar organiaa- tlons. Rev. Snyder prefaced his sermon with the statement that happiness Is dependent upon thankfulness of heart. Oratltude. he said. Is a ton ic for the soul and an old to diges tion. The man who has no gratitude for the blessings he enjoys is out of harmony with the world and out of tune with the Infinite, he said. Tn enumerating the blasslngs for which the people of this city and na tion have to be thankful, Rev. Sny der spoke first of the peace which Is with us while all other great na tions are engulfed In the whirlpool of war. He dwelled upon the rav ages of the great war and pointed out the enormous cost, not only In prop, erty and human life but In the loss to clvlllxatlon.
