The Berlin Foreign Office does not

TIMES—The German reply Is not
responsive to our demands It does
not promote that “clear and full un
derstanding'’ as to a grave situation
which President Wilson in -his note
declared to be desirable It tends rath
er to becloud understanding, for it
leaves us in doubt whether the Ger
man Government has ben fully ap
prised of the deep feeling aroused
among the people of the United States
by the series of events which. In the
President’s words. have been observed
“with growing concern, distress and
amazement.’’ The manner in which
Berlin receives our representations In
regard to the sinking of the Lusi-
tania can not fall to create a most
disagreeable impression in this coun
try, which the note’s outward form of
courtesy will not remove.

(Special Correspondent International
New* Service.)
BERLIN, May 31.—That the Qer-
nten Government, tn Its diplomatic
notes with the United States over
submarine warfare and the destruc
tion of the Lusitania, is looking Into
the future and expects to establish a
foundation for the readjustment of the
International rules of warfare was the
expression of opinion current in offi
cial circles to-day.
Although not expressed in concrete
form by the Foreign Office, the Ger
man Government is ready to contend
that the Introduction of the submarine
and aeroplane Into warfare and the
action of England in trying to crush
this nation by economic pressure
must ail be considered in a new light
They can not be regulated, according
to the German view, hy the laws of
the past, which were In force before
tbe present-day methods of warfare
The fact hat the German reply to
President Wilson's note would not he
whole-heartedly received In the I’ntl-
ed States was discounted here. But
Foreign Minister von Jagow and his
advisers believe that Germany is en
tirely Justified In attempting to "es
tablish a basis of fact” relative to (he
exact character of the Lusitania be
fore proceeding Into the final stages
of the negotiations. If the line adopt
ed by the German Foreign Office Is
followed. It would require the ex
change of several more notes before s
(Inal decision 1* reached, and In the
meantime Germany's submarine war
fare against hostile shipping will con
tinue. Precautions, more drastic than
any yet In use by the German navy,
will he exercised, however, to pro
tect the shipping of all neutral coun
tries.
Germany is proceeding upon the
principles Involved in the questions
at stake. The Foreign Office does not
want to establish any precedents to
which the War Office and the Admi
ralty will have to adhere during the
balance of the war for the position
of the German Empire Is too critical
now for that.
Dr, von Jagow takes the stand that
Germany has already furnished the
ground work for further negotiations
and that the Issues at stake are too
Important to the entire world for has
ty action by either this government
or Washington.
The position of the Foreign Office
is this:
1. Germany had a legal right to
establish a submarine blockade of
British ports so long as strictly neu
tral shipping was not menaced
2. Persons of neutral nationalities
should be prevented from sailing up
on merchant ships owned by belli
gerent powers when they carry con
traband of war and especially when
they are armed
The foregoing principles are a re
iteration of Germany’s attitude ever
since the "war tone" was established
around the Rrltlsh Isles and northern
France, but the continual repetition
of them Indicates that Germany will
not repudiate her present stand, al
though she modify it.
Alpine Positions Are
Easy for Italians
By ANDRE BEAUMONT.
(Special Correspondent International
News Service.)
MILAN. May 31.—The Italian Al
pine troops have already distin
guished themselves by the capture of
Important positions on each side of
the north of Lake Garda, where they
now hold the summits overlooking
the valleys from Lake Idra to Rlva.
and from Alva to Revereto
The three principal summits at the
entry to Va! Destlco have also been
taken by the Bersnrllerl. and farther
east, between the Trentino and the
Camlo Alps, they hold the high
passes Most of the villages and ham
lets in these high Alpine regions had
been evacuated by the Inhabitants at
the request of the military authori
ties, but all of the people are cheerful
aa they reach Vercna or Brescia and
bring good news of the advance of the
Italian troops.
The Austrians have given us to un
derstand that they had strongly for
tified ail the pasaes,. had massed
troops there and had batteries of
heavy guns masked at all the princi
pal points The Italians found this In
most cases to be a boast If batteries
ever had been there, they probably
had been removed to the north to be
used against the Allies
Tbe Italian army, however, is ad
vancing cautiously, according to an
excellent plan worked out in ad
vance The Friuli villagers receive
the soldiers with open arms. In one
place the women said thav would kiss
the ground over which the soldiers
faached.
Austrian prisoners have been
brought dally Into Verona The last
contingent consisted of a small out-
poet of seven soldiers captured on the
heights of Monte Ba’do AH of Italian
oriel* expressed Joy tt havin'- found
. occasion to surrender All men of
lltaUan ongm with ’he Austrian
T troopa.Jin Trentino sed Ffciuil are
only anxious for the opportunity to
surrender
The Inhabitants of an entire vil
lage, some 2.*100 persons, northeast
of Cormona, started an exodus on the
da-- of the declaration of war Rome
Austrian gendarmes barred (he way
threatening women and children, but
the number of people was so great
the gendarmes had to yield. When
the fugitives aporoaohed Cormona
they were anticipating further diffi
culties. but the town had been oc
cupied a few hours before bv Italian
troops. They were delighted tn be
received by smiling Betsaglierl
Liked the Policemen;
Now She's in Hospital
A U Brewer, of No 6t>l Whitehall
xtr^Rt, is nil locked up at police head
quarters awaiting trial for disorderly
conductct. and especially for marking
up his wife's cheeks with a carving
knife, so aa to render her less attract
ive to policemen.
Brewer's statement was a flat denial
of the whole affair. Including his wife’s
wounds: but she was taken to Grady
I Hospital ami the injuries were dressed,
while previous admissions of the hus-
I band were recalled to the effect that
• he was jealous because his wife "went
with policemen.’’ He continued to ac
cuse the policemen at the barracks,
making general charges of breaking up
the happiness of his home.

‘Despite unseasonable weather /or

judge-s. 36 circuit judges, 48 munici
pal Judges and 17 members of the ap
pellate division of Cook County.
However, the opinion has been ex
pressed that the commission will de
cline to hear from delegations repre
senting cities outside of Georgia.
Committees from Gtorgia cities prob
ably will be given opportunity to pre
sent their opinions and appeals orally.
A statement from Mrs. Leo Frank
will be presented in writing, request
ing clemency for her husband, and
including a brief analysis of the case
as a basis for her petition. Mrs.
Frank will be present through the
hearing.
In event there are many delega
tions to be heard, it is likely the hear
ing will continue into Tuesday. How
ever, UYank’s lawyers were of the
opinion Monday morning that thyeir
statement of the case will not occupy
more than one day.
The three members of the Commis
sion—R. E. Davison, chairman; K. L.
Rainey and T. E. Patterson, arrived
in Atlanta Sunday evening, and were
In their offices at the Capitol early on
Monday.
Mt, Lassen Breaks
Out in New Crater
(By International News Service.)
REDDING, CAL.. May 31.—Through
an entirely new crater. Mount Lassen
broke out In its ninety-ninth eruption
at 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon Smoke
and ashes were shot upward of 10,000
feet before a brisk drifting wind sent
the cloud to the northward and east
ward.
The eruption was more than half as
big as that of Saturday a week ago
and the volume of ashes emitted was
probably greater. The new crater is
400 feet or more below the old crater,
which was left choke»’ up following
the eruption of May 21.
The last call for witnesses to testi
fy as to the efficiency of the police de
partment will be made at a session of
the probe committee of the Police
Commission Monday night. A num
ber of citizens who have been invited
te attend former sessions will be
given another opportunity to speak,
and then the investigation will be
closed and the committee will proceed
to write its report.
The attitude of a majority of the
committee had not removed the gen
eral apprehension Monday that a
“whitewash” report would be writ
ten. Some of those on the committee
have made it very plain that they are
leaning toward the influences who
would make of the investigation a
whole-souled vindication of Chief
Beavers’ policy. i
But there has 'been much contrary’
evidence. Citizens and officers have
testified that there was a lack of dis
cipline and efficiency in the depart
ment, and that Atlanta is not getting
the service she is entitled to for the
more than $300,000 spent annually on
the police foroe.
A minority of the investigating
committee will insist upon a report
upholding charges of inefficiency.
If the report is completed soon, a
special meeting of the Police Com
mission will be called to receive it,
but it is hardly probable the com
mute will be ready before the regular
June meeting, which will be the sec
ond Tuesday night.
Self Conquest Theme
Of Talk to Negroes
Selfconquest, the most difficult thing
in the world, was the theme of a strong
sermon preached Sunday morning at the
First Congregational Church, negro, by
the Rev. H. H. Proctor.
He used the example of Alfred Van
derbilt on the sinking Lusitania, giv
ing his lifebelt to another, as showing
what self-conquest will lead to.
Bull Dog Sends Boy
To Hospital Ward
Cecil Johnson, 12 years old, was con
fined to his home, No. 19 Williams
street, Monday fololwing an attack the
previous night by a bull dog, which bit
him so badly that he was taken to the
Grady Hospital to have the wounds
dressed.
Cecil is a table boy at the Peachtree
Soda Company’s place, and the dog is
owned by Nick Chotas, the proprietor.
It was tied to a post in the basement
and the boy went downstairs to play
with It, when the attack took plaoe.
Chotas fought the dog off with an emp
ty pop bottle, beating It about the head
until the boy could get away.
