Cabinet officers made it clear tliat it
wotilil not he an iiltiniatuiii or make
any threats as to Ihe t'litiire ptui'oses
<if the I'nited States. At the same
time tliey pointed out that it probably
wouUl have an air of tiiiality cnrtail-
iiiK tlie tiehl of discussion and ne>;o-
tiation. and placint; squarely on Ger
many the responsibility for any ac
tions that might subsenuenlly en
danger ttie friendly relations of the
two countries. Today’s loiiMvence
was devoted to an extent to a disctis-
sion of what the .American peojde
really wanted the Washinpton govern
ment to do in the present crisis. So
far as the cabinet officers could judge
by their examination of public oxpres.
sions the nation had voiced an insist
ent desire that the honor and ilignity
of the I'nited States be uphidd. but
that a course should be fc^llmved
which would maintain peace.
On Germany's next reply and the
(•rystalization of public opinion there
after will depend to a large extent,
according to intimations from offi
cials. what the action of the I'nited
States will be concerning future vio
lations of -American rights.

claims that .Sullivan had intervened

gambling house, saying tliat he was
llnally interested in the house and
wanted to help Uosenthal.
I.iM' r. after Itosenthal's place was
raided and Hc.senthal began imblish.
iiig i V.arges against liecker. Sullivan,
according ti> the statement, told il;i'
police lii'Utenant that Uosenthal must
be indui'od lo leave town. This was
not long before the assassinalion of
KosenI hal.
IJecKcr says it is i-oninion report
that a sum of money was raised, jire-
sumably by Hose from the gamblers,
(o get Uosenthal away. Uosenthal re
fused the sum but consented to go for
a larger sum. It is saiil it was for
this larger sum that he was waiting
