Washington, May 11 Presi
dent Wilson had virtually decided
tonight on the first step iu the
polioy which the United State
Government will pursue as a re
sult of the sinking of the' British
liner Lusitauia with th loss of
- . - . a
more toan a nuarea aiutiohi
lives. The president will act
promptly within the next day or
two. A draft of a communication
to be tent to Germany was sub
mitted to the Cabinet today and
annrove'd unanimously. While
i r -
uo official announcement w a s
made, it was learned that the
U ited States would present and
insist upon an explanation of the
series of incidents which have oo
cured since the proclamation of a
war zone around the British Isles,
the sinking of tbe Falaba, causing
tbe death of Leon 0. Thresher, an
American citizen, the attack by
German airmeu on ths American
steamer Cashing, .the torpedoing
of the American steamer Outfight
anad finally the deitruotion with
out warning of the Lusitauia with
a toll of mote than a thousand
lives.
In what are described by those
familiar with the document as
firm and unmistakable terms,
the president voices tbe intense
feeling of the United States over
these happenings, and iu the name
of international law demands an
adharenoe by Germany to the us
tablished rales of maratime war
fare. Tbe note asks that some
assurance or guarantee De given
hereafter that uuirmed merchant
Vdsiels carrying) uon-oambatants
be visited aud searched when en
oounteied on the high seas by the
German Navy and passengers aud
crew transfered to a plaoe of safe
ty before any prize is destroyed.
The president points out, it is un
derstood, that the United States-f
iu its note which said Germany
would be held to "strict account
ability" for any attacks on Ameri
oan vessels or livns, had not ad
mitted any right on the part of
Germany to oarry on such methods

was determined to act firmly and
deal with each situation as it arose
Is was pointed out,' too, that it
his speech at Philadelphia, in ref
erence to peace, Mr. Wilson was
expressing merely an ideal that he
wished America oculd and would
follow.
Persons familiar with the presi
dent's point of view, indioated.
however, that he was by no means
unprepared for, or unaware of the
possible eventualities' of the pres
ent crisis and knew that circum
stances and events over which the
United States might have no con
trol might make vigorous action
necessary.
The circular from the German
Government to neutral coontnes
assuming responsibility and prom
ising reparation for any damage
in the war zone to neutral vessels
will not affect the determined
course of the president. It was
considered by the Cabinet today,
bat high cffiojals later pointed out
that there is no guarautee in it.
that the lives of Americans will
be safeguarded, as submarines
cannot accommodate passengers or
crew of the vessel they attack.
