Will Demand
Washington.?The text of the Amer
ican note on the submarine warfare,
presented at Berlin by Ambassador Ge
rard, has been made public. It re
veals that the Imperial government
bad been informed it is the intention
of tbe United States to regard as "de:
liberate)! unfriendly" any repetition
by the oommanders of German naval
vaaeels of acts in contravention of
American rights
Following is the official text of the
latest American note to Germany re
garding submarine warfare, which
was delivered to the Foreign Office at
Berlin by ,Ambassador Oerard.
The Secretary of State to Ambassa
dor Gerard. ,
Department of State.
Washington, July 11. 1915.
You are Instructed to deliver text
tflly, the following note to the Min
is kr for Foreign Affaire:
The note of tbe Imperial German
Government dated the eighth of July.
1915, has received the careful con
sideration of the Government of the
United States and it regrets to be
obliged to say that it has found it
very unsatisfactory, because it fails
to meet the real differences between
the two Governments and indicates no
way in which the accepted principles
of law and humanity may be applied
In the grave matter in controversy,
but proposes on the contrary, ar
rangements for a partial suspension
of those principles which virtually set
them aside.
The Government of the United'
Btatee notee with satisfaction that the
Imperial German Government recog
nizes without reservation the validity
of the principle Insisted on In the sev
eral communications which the Gov
ernment has addressed to the Impe
rial German Government with regard
to Its announcement of a war zone
end the use of submarines against
merchantmen on the high seas?the
prtnclpla that the sees are free, that
the character and cargo of a mer
chantman must first be ascertained
before she can lawfully be seized or
destroyed, and that the lives of non
combatants may in no case be put tq
Jeopardy unless the vessel resists or
seeks to escape after being summoned
. to submit to examination, for a bellig
erent act of reallatton Is per se an j
act beyond the law and defense of an '
act as retaliatory is an admission that
It la Illegal.
The government of the United
States Is, however, keenly disappoint
ed to find that the Imperial German
government regards Itself as In large
degree exempt from the obligation to
observe these principles, even where
neat raj vessels are concerned, by what
It believes the policy and practice of
the government of Great Britain to be
In the present war with regard to neu
tral commerce. The Imperial German
government will readily understand
that the government of the United
States cannot discuss the policy of the
government of Great Britain with re
gard to neutral trade except with that
government itself, and that It must re
gard the conduct of other belligerent
governments as Irrelevant to any dis
cussion with the Imperial German gov
eminent of what this government re
gards as grave and unjustifiable viola
tions of the rights of American dtl
sens by German naval commanders.
Illegal and Inhuman acts, however
Justifiable they may be thought to be
against any enemy who is believed to
have acted Hi contravention of law
and humanity, are manifestly Inde
fensible when they deprive neutrals
of their acknowledged rights, parttcu^
Isrly when they violate the right to
life Itself. If a belligerent cannot re
taliate against an enemy without In
juring the lives of neutrals, as well as
heir propery, humanly, as well as
Justice and a due regard for dignity
of neutral powers, should dictate that
the practice should be discontinued.
If persisted In It would in such cir
cumstances constitute an unpardonable
offense against the sovereignty of
the neutral nation affected. The gov
ernment of the United States is not
unmindful of the extraordinary condi
tions created hy this war. of the radl
cal alterations of circumstance# and
methods of attack produced by the
use of Instrumentalities of naval war
fare which the nations of the world
cannot hare had In view when the ex
isting rules of International law were
formulated, and It la ready to make
every reasonable allowance for these
novel and unexpected aspects of war
at sea; but It cannot consent to abate
any essential or fundamental right of
Is people because of a mere alera
' tlon of circumstance- The rights of
neutrals In time of war are based up
on principle, not upon expediency,
and the principles are immutable. It
is the duty and obligation of belliger
ents to And a way to adapt the new
circumstances to them.
The events of the past two months
have clearly Indicated thaS It is pos
sible and practicable to conduct such
submarine operations as have charac
terised the activity of the Imperial
German navy within the so-called war
sone In substantial accord with the
accepted practices of regulated war
tare. The whole world has looked
with Interest and increasing satis
faction at the demonstration of that
possibility by German naval command
ers. It Is manifestly possible, there
fore to lift the whole practice of sub
marine attack above the criticism
which It has aroused and remove the
chief cause of offense.
In view of the Illegality made by
the Imperial government when It
pleaded the right of retaliation In de
fense of Its acts, and In view of the
manifest possibility of conforming to
the established rules of naval warfare
the government of the United States
cannot believe that the Imperial Ger
man government will longer refrain
from disavowing the wanton act of Its
naval commander In sinking the Lusi
tanla or from offering reparation for
the American lives lost, so far as repa
ration can be made for a needless de
struction of^ human life by an Illegal
act.
The government of the United
States while not Indifferent to the
friendly spirit In which it is made,
cannot accept the suggestion of the
Imperial Qerman government that
certain vessels be designated and
agreed upon which shall be free on
the seaa now illegally prescribed. The
very agreement would, by implication
subject other vessels to illegal attack
and would be a curtailment and. there
fore, an abandonment of the princi
ple for which this government con
tends and which in times of calmer
counsels every nation, would concede
aa of course.
The government of the United
State and the Imperial German gov
ernment are contending for the same
great object, have long stood togeth
er in urging the very principles upon
which the government of the United
States now solemnly Insists. They
are both contending for the freedom
ai the seaa. The government of ' the
United States will continue to con
tend for that freedom from whatever
quarter violated, without compromise
and at any cost. It invites the practi
cal co-operation of the Imperial Qer
man government at this time when
co-operation may accomplish most and
this great object be most strikingly
and effectively achieved.
The Imperial German governmen ex
presses the hope that this object may
be in some measure accomplished even
before the present war ends. It ran
be. The government of the United
States feels obliged to Insist upon it,
by whomsoever violated or ignored, in
the protection of its own cttixens, but
it is also deeply Interested in seeing
it made practicable between the bellig
erents themselves, and holds Itself
ready at any time to act as the com
mon friend who may be privileged to
suggest a way.
In the meantime the very value
which this government sets upon the
long and unbroken friendship between
the people and government of the Uni
ted States and the "people and govern
ment of the German nation lmpela it to
press very solemnly upon the Imperial
German government the necessity for
a scrupulous observance of neutral
rights in this critical matter. Friend
ship Itself prompts it to say to the
Imperial government that repetition by
the commanders of German naval ves
sels of acts in contravention of those
rights moat be regarded by the govern
ment of the United States when they
affect Amerioaa citizens, as deliberate
ly unfriendly. * LANSING.

GETTING EXPERTS ADVICE
Permanent Policial of tha Nation Aro
Now Employing tha Mind of tha
Chlaf Executive.
Washington.?President Wilson has
called for re porta on the subject of
National defense. Tbese will be made
to him personally by the heads of the
War and Navy Departments. The
fact that this action had been taken
became known here after the release
for publication of the note to Germany
relating to submarine warfare.
Without regard to present day con
troversies, the President in association
with various heads of departments
has been giving consideration for
some time to the preparation of a
reasonable and adequate naval pro
gram which he will propose to con
gress at the proper time. He will
study this subject on his visit to Cor
nish, N. H-, and when he again re
turns he may be prepared to dis
cuss it wth his advisers.
For the time being the President
feels that it is desirable to drop all
discussion of the controversy with
Germany, now that the object of this
week's visit to Washington has been
accomplished, and he is turning to
questions of permanent national
policy. Practical advice concerning
national defense from every available
professional source is being sought, i
It is known in fact that the.- beat
minds of tbe military branches of the
government have been at work on
tbese matters for some time.
Men of the army and navy who
have been most directly in touch with
conditions of defense that hate been
envolved out of modern experience
have been called upon for their views
The president not only wishes adrlce
from those who have knowledge of
actual conditions of warfare existing
In 'Europe today but he is seeking
light from those who are unable to
understand and comprehend all pos
sible phrases of altered conditions on
both land and sea. He particularly ;
wishes the navy to stand upon equality
with tbe most efficient and serviceable
lighting sea force, maintained by any
power.
RED CR0S8 QUITS WORK.
Have Virtually Abandoned Their Com
palgn In Mexico.
Washington.?The Mexican situa
tion again came to the forefront with
a conference between President Wil
son and officials of the American Red
Cross who virtually hare abandoned
their campaign for the relief of non
combatants in the southern republic
because of the chaotic conditions
tfempc ' ? ??
The president'* callers Included
Brigadier General C. A. Devol, gen
eral manager of the Red Cross who
directed relief work in Mexico; Ernest
Blcknell, national director, and Miss
Mabel Boardman. a member of the
central committee. General Devol,
reporting his failure to get the various
leaders to facilitate the work of feed
ing starving civilians, said conditions
were growing constantly worse.
Banker Dies Suddenly.
Birmingham, Ala.?Robert Frances
Haynesworth. president of the Nation
al Bank of Sumter, S. C., died sud
denly, in the union passenger station
here. He was en route home from
Shreveport, where he had been on a
visit to a brother, when he took ill
on the train. He alighted here for
treatment and died within an hour.
Heart failure is given as the cause of
death.
Kdnapped, Escaped.
Idaho Falls, Idaho.?Ernest A. Em
pty, a wealthy rancher, kidnapped
seevral days ago by bandits and held
for 18.000 ransom, has escaped from
his abductors. Empey was found by
United States forest rangers.
President Wilson Joins Family.
Washington.?President Wilson, ac
companied by Dr. Cary T. Grayson,
U. S. A., has gone to Cornish, N. H.,
to join bis family and to spend an
other week or two or the vacation In
terrupted by his return to Washing
ton to direct the preparation of the
note to Germany. While away he
will give attention to several Import
ant questions pending and will keep
In close touch with the government.
The length of his stay will depend
largely upon developments In the in
ternational situation.
?
Tobacco Statlatlca.
Washington.?At a conference of to
bacco men held here with representa
tives of the treasury department with
reference to tobacco statistics a reso
lution was adopted to recommend to
congress that all tobacco statistics be
disseminated In the future from one
central bureau Instead of from the
four bureaus now in operation. It was
also decided to ask congress to auth
orise the department of agriculture
to Issue an annual statement of the
tobacco business of the world.
Foodstuffs Contaminated.
A piece of cake was exposed for sale
In Philadelphia without adequate pro
tection, then analyzed. It contained
sand and coal dust, disintegrated bran

COMMERCE COMMISSION LETS
EXPRESS COMPANIES IN
CREASE RATES
3.86 PER CENT INCREASE
Most Ratos Will S? Lowsr Than Old
Chargsa Bsfors tha Zona System
Was Established
Washington.?The Interstate com
merce commlaslon decided that the
revenues of the principal express com
panies of the United States are.Inade
quate and modified Its former orders
to provide additional income. Present
express rates are based on three fac
tors: .
An allowance of 25 cents tor collec- 1
tion and delivery of each shipment,
which does not varlate with weight or
distance; a rail terminal allowance
of 26 cents the 100 pounds! which va
ries with the weight, but not the dis
tance and the rail transportation rate
the 100 pounds which varies with the
weight, the distance and the zone.
In accordance with the petition of
the companies, the commission modi
lved Its order so as to Increase the col
lection and delivery allowance Ave
cents for each shipment and to reduce
the rail terminal allowance at the
rate of one-twentieth of one cent a
pound. As the weight Increases the
live-cent Increase Is gradually reduced
so that on shipments of more than
100 pounds the readjustment will not
make any change. Sumstanttally no
commodity rates will be affected. With
few exceptions any changed rates will
be substantially lower than those pre
vailing when the commlaslon establish
ed the zone system last year.
By that means the express compa
nies are expected to Increase their
gross revenues about 3.M per cent.
The commission's report shows that
the net operating revenues of the
four big companies hare decreased to
a deficit of 21.112.811 In the year 1(14
1(15 and in the same period operating
Income decreased $2.44(.8(3.
"While the finaaclal condition of cer
tain of the petitioners Is more favor
able than that of others," says the re
port. "It clearly appears that as a
whole they are operating at a loss."

Washington*?Dispatches to the
atate department from Mexico City
announced that Zapata forcea reoecu
pled the capital two dayo ago follow
ing the evacuation by the Carranxa
army under General Gonialea.
Zapata offlclala were aald to have
resumed full control of the dty from
which they were driven 10 days ago
by Gonxaleo, who now haa gone
northward with hi* troops to meet
an advancing Villa force.
This unexpected development acme
as a surprise to officials of the Wash
ington government and to both the
Mexican agencies. It had been sup
posed that the Zapata army, defeat
ed *nd harassed on retreat, was op
erating along the railroad to Vera
Crux, waiting an opportunity to form
a junction with the Villa column ap
proaching from the north. No word
has been received of the whereabouts
of General Gonial es since he quK the
capital. News of a battle near Pa
chua, already reached by Villa men
Is hourly expected. The battle may
have occurred, message* received
here requiring abont 24 hours In
transmission.
Other reports to the stabs depart
ment during the day said that rall
rqad communication between Vera
Cm and Mexico City was suspended
"on account of .fhe present military
operations" details of which were not
disclosed. Suspension of railroad
communication la viewed here with
alram for the suffering people in
Mexico City, as this action complet
ly cuts off the sending of much-need
ed food supplies. A private message
from a responsible source pictured
the situation as desperate.
At the cabinet meeting the uncer
tain Mexican situation was briefly
discussed. Some move on the part
of the United States In pursuance of
President Wilson's massage to the
Mexican factions two months ago urg
