Tbe German reply o the . Ameri-
' CS Uania was signed by Herr von
V-CgH'! be Foreittn Minister at 11
wAtoWdor Garard hi .morning
; fprlaELmiB8ion to Washington.
Thtf note expresaee Germany's
leg
Americans as a result of a sabma
riue and aeronlane Attacks, and
off a s oom'Densation in caeei in
which Germany is found to be in
5 the wrong.
Al; indicated previously in these
lispatches, the note defers a direct
-n"8wero the qastions raised, by
v President Wilson, p9udiug.a tur
ther exchauge of views. Germany
deiirss t) establish whether the
- LnsitafH was a defeuselees mer-
chant ship or was being used for
the transportation of war arnmu
nitions and soldiers, cn which on
suspecting passengers were permit
ted to take passage to safeguatd
the war materials.
The Americau representations re
garding the torpedoing of the Bri
tish steamer FaUba, in whish an
American ctizjn lost his life are
ai.swred with the statement that
it was intended- to offer ample
time for the passengers and crew
leave the ship. The action of
the captain in attempting to es
c& however, necessitated more
summary aotion. Even then the
commander of the submarine
granted 10 minutes for thosa on
board to leave the V88Stl and sub
sequently extended the time to 2
minutes before sinking the Bhip, .j
Germauy expresses regrets fcr
"the unintentional attacks" oj
h Americin steamer Cashing
was attaoked by German, airmen
in the North Sea and the Gulflgbrt
was torpedoed off Soilly Islands.
Germany disavows any intention
to attack harmless neutral craft..
She o flora to pay compensation
wherever she is found to be in the
wrong, and to lefer doubtful cases
to the Hague for a decision.
The passages in the American
noie concerning a possible disa
vowal by Germany of intent to sink
the Lusitania and the diacontinn
anoe of her present practices Of
submarine warfare are not men
tioned specifically in the reply.
vTbelpote states that pending
the rJjSy of the American Govern
ment tqthe German assumptions
of the afei; regarding the real
oharacter f the Lusitania and hr
cargo, no Attempt will be made to
Answer the aemaads contained in
the American communication.
These assumptioTis of fact are as
..follows:
''The Lusitania was built as an
Auxiliary cruiser, subsidized arid
carried on the Navy lists as such.
She carried, according to German
information, two guns mounted
and ooucealt d below decks.
British steamers sailing from
New. York, according to informa
tion received from passengers and
other sources repeatedly carried
soldiers, artillery, war supplies
and contraband to England, the
Lusitauia on this trip had 4 500
-cases of ammunition in addition
to other war supplies and Canadi
an troops en route to the front.
..Referenae is here made to the
fact that carrying explosives on
passenger steamers is contrary to
Americau law. It is intimated
that the German Government
' would be glad to receive informa
: tun as to how it happened that
ammunition was permitted to be
i shipped on the Lusitauia, a vessel
crowded with paesenners. Strong
phrases are used regarding what is
considered as apparently the de
liberate policy of British shipping
companies to protect war ship
meuts by embarking American
passengers on the same ships.
Germany oontends it is impossi
ble to settle the question whether
proper opportunity was given to
place the passengers and crew in
safety until it is determined
whether the regulations adopted
v after the linking of the Titanic,
Woniin Noian Act Uf nslitdtiuil.
. Raleigh, May 25 With a divid
ed court, the vote being three to
two, the Supreme Court holds that
the act of the recent Legislature
authorizing the Governor to ap
point women notaries public ieun
constitutional, the dissenting jus
tices teiug Chief Justice Clark and
Associate Justice Brown
The issue of the constitutionali
ty of the woman notary act' was in
the case of State vs. Mrs Knight,
from Buncombe, and the controll
ing opinion for the court, which is
quite exhaustive and lengthy, is
by Associate Justice A lieu. Chief
Justice Clark has a long dissenting
opinion and there is a very brief
dissent by Judge Brown, who holds
merely that the plaoe of notary
public is not an office to the ex
teut of preventing the appoint
ment of a woman to the place. In
his opinion for the majority cf the
oourt Justice A Ilea holds that
there are five questions involved in
the appeal : :
1. Is a woman a voter, in North
Carolina?
2. If not a voter, is she eligible
to office? .
8, Is the position of notary pub
lie a publio effiee?
2. If an office, can the General
Assembly affect its character by
calling it a place of trust and pro
fit, without changing its functions?
5. Has this court the power to
day that the General Assembly ex
ceeded its authority and that-the
aot passed by it is unconstitution-

Submarines first Used by the Canfederanes
Submarines were first used by
the Confederates during the War
Between the States, but sinoe then
great improvements have been
made in them. The Confederates
had a submarine called the "Lit
tle David," stationed in the har
bor at Charleston, that kept the
blockading fleet in fear and on the
slert for some time, but at last it
succeeded in destroying the Unit
ed States warship Hocsatamo that
was one of the blockading fleet.
Another Federal warship, the
Ostego, was struck and destroyed
by a Confederate torpedo on the
9 h of Duoemer, 1864. in the
R?anoke river, in this State
Chatham Reoord.

many's reply 'to the American
no: e concerning the finking pf the
Lusitania with loaa'of more than
ICO American "lives prcdaoed
feeling of profound disappoint
ment here. - Dissatisfaction-i&tne
failure ot Gerhian f to answer the
demands of -the Uuited States was
reflected in gpTeriiment irolt
generally. ' Rr .
It was generlrlly predicted to
night that a prompt answer would
be sent to Berlin perhaps within
24 or 48 hour.? 'This it. expected
to give the American GoVerp
ment's understanding of the faott,
that the Lusitiniar was unarmed
and carried net" concealed gtrns
that she sailedrfrom the United
States a peaolful merchantmen-
and that under.all ru?es of inter
national law and humanity, the
vessel: should' iaYe been Viifited
1 and searohed gAif her passengers
trfwred tcijl place of safety,'
whether she carried ammunition
or not, American law does not
prohibit ammunition' from beSng
carried on palsjnger ; shipe, it will
be i asserted," but only f self-exploding
materialand liners in the past
have been permitted to earryaTins
and ammunition by special raling
cf the State Jppartment otrhe
meaning of Federal statutes. 7
r Germany's failure even to 'dis
buss, the reparation demanded by
the Amerioan note,' tifid e'taiion
of the request that guarantees 1e
given tor American Vessels and
lives be not - endangered in tne
future are the main points, how
ever, which the Uuittfd States
Government, it (was generally be
lieved ionight, wbujtl vsrt to ;ii J
the second uoteV-Ths expressions
fSrret mt oft ficfr
for unintentional attaoks onneu
tral ships are expected to have,
little weight in determining " the
nature of the response of the Unit
ed States.
When the note of May 18 was
sent it was pointed out that such
promises did not remove the risks
to which Americau vessels 'and
lives were subjected, and to sup-,
port this contentiou, the United
States will add, it is said, that
the Amerioan steamer Nebraskan
was torpedoed without warning
within the last few days.
- PeisooB close to President Wil
son have learned that ' lie is "de
termined to obtain reparation for
the Lusitania victims and assur
ances of respeot for American
rights in future, and that failing
this, he would uot hesitate to sever
diplomatic relations with Ger
many. In German quarters here to
night it was again reiterated "that
the Lusitania was armed.
To controvert this, the United
8tateshas proof gathered before
the American note was sent, that
there were no guns aboard. : Fdr-.
ther the British Government en
tered into an informal agreement J
with the Uuited States early 'in
the war to see that no British
vessels left American ports
armed. ' .
