MUST DISAVOW ACT Will Give $5,000 For One Rich American-President Not Willing To Accept Any Amount Unless Ab solute Disavowal Is Made. WASHINGTON, NOV. l!;j.--Through Count von IJernsiori't, Germany has noti/ied tho United Status of its will ingness to pay indemnity for tho 115 Americans who lost their lives when the Lusitania was sunk by a German submarine. Although no amount has as yet been proposed it is stated that tho Gorman government stands ready to pay $.^,000 for each American who died on the great liner, or a total of ^r>75,0()0. It is doubted if this offer will bo accept able to the United States. Gorman^- has not yet shovn any in clination to disavow tho act of the sr.liniarino commander who destroyed tl;e Lusitania. It has sugge.-ited. how ever, that tho question of disavowal be submitted to arbitration. This pro posal President Wilsou undoubtedly will reject. Tho oiler to niako financial repara tion for the Americans killed on the Lu.sitania, accordinj to the IJaily News correspondent’s information, was made to Secretary of State 1-insing by Am bassador liernstorff when tiie German diplomat called at the stiite depart ment last week. At the sanio time he is said to have informed Mr. Lansing that his govern ment did not think it should bo pressed to apologize for sinking a British ship transporting munitions of war along with pasengers. 'I'he German government, according to the ambassador, holds that while It had a right to destroy tho Lusitania It did not intend injuring Americans and to show its regret for tho loss of so many Anierican lives desires to make such reparation as is possible by the payment of an indemnity. This offer to pay tho families of those Americans who perished on the vessel ia said to Lave been made with out reservation and without regard to tho question of justiilcation involved in the controversy. An effort w'ar mado by a German emissary recently to got a father and mother who lost a son on the Lusitania to sign a statement that they believed Groat Britain equally lI:ib!o with Ger many for tho payment of damages. The argument presented by this agent was that Kngland incurred tho liability when it allowed war munitions to bo carried in a British passenger ship. The plan failed when the parents’ curt- Iv spurned tho siiggestlon, although they are said to have been promised inimediate payment of any amount th''V would stipu’ale. German eni- lia-.sy officials deny this agent repre sented the Berlin government.
