HERALD BEST OF ALL LOCAL NEWSPAPERS NEW BRITAIN HERALD HERALD “ADS” MEAN BETTER BUSINESS PRICE THREE CENTS. NEW BRITAIN CONNECTICUT, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1916. —SIXTEEN FAGES. ESTABLISHED 18 (GERMAN VIEW OF LUSITANIA' GASE NOT ACCEPTABLE Acting Secretary of State Issues Denial That America Is Satistied DEPARTMENT REFUSES T0 BE DRAWN INTO DEBATE Note of February 16 Has Not Been Accepted, He Says, in Reply to Rumors That United States Is to Coincide With Berlin’s Opinion— Unpublished Note Is Not to Be Givenr to Press. Washington, Oct. 18.—Reports that the German note of Feb. 16, for the settlement of the Lusitania «case, had been accepted by the American gov- ernment and was soon to be pub- lished by the state department, caused Acting Secretary of State Polk to au- thorize the following statement to- day: “The note has not been accepted and is not to be given out. The state department is not to be drawn into a discussion of this case at this time.” Mr. Polk refused to discuss the question further. The last draft of the Lusitania memorandum, which was addressed to Secretary Lansing by Count von Bernstorff, last February, and has since remalned unacted upon, has been published in substance at least twice since it was delivered. Its text rever has been given out. Substance of Note. It begins by referring to the con- ditions prevailing in the war area of the North Sea and states that sub- marine warfare around the British Isles was inaugurated by Germany in retaliation for what she considers an “4llegal” blockade of Germany. It continues that Germany considers warfare of reprisals justified by the action of Great Britain, describing Great Britain’s action as “inhumane’ and points out that neutral vessels have been affectéd by what are de- scribed as the efforts of the British government to starve Germany. It states further that the method of conducting submarine warfare has been modified out of regard for the long-standing friendship between the United States and Germany and be- cause lives of American citizens had been lost. The memorandum states that the killing of Americans was not inten- tional because reprisals must not be directed against others than enemy subjects. These latter terms were substituted for phrases which included the word “illegal” which Germany was un- willing to incorporate in the mem- orandum. Then the memorandum expresses regret for the loss of American lives, assumes liability for the losses on the Lusitania and offers reparation in the form of indemnityy It closes with references to the freedom of the seas and expresses the hope that Ger- many may have opportunity to co- operate with the United States to vring it about, if possible, before the end of the war. Some time ago the state depart- ment inadvertently conveyed the im- wression to the German embassy that it wished to publish the note and in Germanic quarters the inference was drawn that the expected publication indicated its acceptance. So-far as officials disclose the status of the case is the same as when ac- tion on the memorandum was held in abeyance pending developments on how Germany’s final promises in the Surgex case were carried out. WILLIAM THAW KILLED ¥amous American Aviator With French Army Meets Death in Ac- tion, Classmate at Yale Hears.

Athens, Tuesday, Oct. 17. via Lon- don, Oct. 18, 1:38 p. m.—After the demonstration here against the en- tents allies, during which a proces- sion of several thousand persons marched to the American legation and protested against the landing of French marines, a delegation of six persons called at the American lega- tion and presented resolutions asking the sympathy and protection of the United States against the encroach- ments of the entente powers. The American minister, Garret Droppers, promised to forward the petition to Washington. Three hundred ¥rench marines were transferred today from the mu- nicipal theater to the Zappeion Ex- position building within 400 yards of the King's palace. Midway on their march the French contingent met three companies of sailors from the former Greek fleet and who have now been formed into infantry organizations. When the squads met the Greeks turned down another street, leaving the Stadium street to the French. NO SUBMARINE NOTE Not Feel Called a United States Does Up to Make Any Statement Regard- ing U-Boat Raid Off Nantucket. ‘Washington, Oct. 18.—The United States wil not feel called upon to make public any statement on the raid of the U-53 or the submarine situation in general, it was learned authoritatively today, as a conse- quence of the statement in parlia- ment by Viscount Grey, British sec- retary of state for foreign affairs, that his government would not make any official representations to this country until such announcement is made here. This government it was sald, would not feel itself more called upon to make a statement to the allies about German belligerent operations off the American coast than it would to re- port to Germany the recent visit of the French cruiser Admiral Aube to an American port or other allied operations on this side of the Atlan- tic. Information probsably would supplied, however, 1f requested. At present the state department is making a study #f the whole sub- marine situation put is not now con- templating the {ssuance of general regulations sufa as have been adopt- ed by smal: Eurcpean countries which have the question before them. The only phase of the situation where complete detail is lacking is as to what information the sub- marine captain may have secursd when in Newport harbor. This is still being investigated, especially in view of Viscount Gre intimation that it might be made a base of claims against this country. In a similar case, Spain has been pressed for dam- ages by France for information gained by a U-boat at Cartagena which re- sulted in the loss of French ships im- mediately after the vessel left port.

The New Haven’s petition and brief set forth that the transportation needs of New HEngland justify the opera- tion despite the provisions of the Panama Canal Act which prohibits jeint ownership of competing rail and water line The New England manufacturers, in their brief, say that “While they have differed bitterly on other trans- portation questions, they are a prac- tical unit in favor of the road’s re- tention of the Sound lines and the practically England shippers prot: discontinuing of a vice.” be Com- s against the atisfactory ser- TARK ESTATE HEARING, Tinal Distribution Expected to Follow Meeting at Probate Court. It is believed that Judge L. P. Waldo Marvin of Hartfard, who was cited in by Judge B. F. Gaffney to give the hearing on the administrator’s final account on the estate of Bridget Clark, will give an order Monday, accepting the amended account and order the drsstribution of the estate, The case has hung fire for a long time and it was over three months after Judge Marvin heard the presentation of the administrator's account that he ren- dered a decision taking acception to certain items and ardering a supple- mentary account. The claim of Klett & Alling as counsel for the administrator, which was $1,100, has been reduced to $750 and the administrator’s fees have hoon reduced from $2,500 to $2,000. unanimous voice of New | WALL STREET EAGER FOR HUGHES T0 WIN Sec’y McAdoo Makes Attack on Money Barons at Chicago ROOSEVELT WAR MENACE Member of Wilson’s Cabinet Accuses Hughes of Evading Question When Asked Regarding His Action / Chicago, Oct. 18.—Praise for Presl- dent Wilson’s diplomatic and legisla- tive achievements and charges that “Wall street has always dominated the republican party” and that victory for that party next mon*h would en- in Lusitania Case. danger the country’s prosperity, were voiced here today by William G.

London, Oct. 18, 11 a. m.—The Trish question was again brought to the fore in the house of commons to- day with the introduction by John Redmond of a motion criticising the | system of government of the island. | The motion reads: “That the system of government at presant maintained in Ireland is inconsistent with the principles for which the allies are fighting in Turope, and is and as been mainly responsible for the recent un- happy events and for the present state of feelingein that country.” Since Redmond gave notice of his intention to attack the govern- ment the Irish leaders have held sev- eral conferences with Baron Wim- borne, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, but these probably had more to do with the sugsgestion of extension conscription to Ireland than the fail- | ure to release all those arrested dur- ing the uprising in Ireland last spring.

Dudley Field Malone, coliector of the port of New York, and Mrs. Ma- lone arrived in this city this afternoon with ex-Senator George M. Landers following a luncheon in Hartford. Mr. Malone will be the principal speaker at the democratic rally this evening at the Russwin Lyceum. This will be the greatest effort local democracy has made thus far in the campaign to explain the issues to New Britain voters and, if advance re- ports are to be given credence, it will be an effort crowned with success. Mr. Malone isone of the most able political missionaries enrolled under the ban- ner of Woodrow Wilson. His name appears in the catalogue with the most brilliant orators of the party and he is reputed to be as full of con- vincing facts as any man engaged in waging a campaign for the re-elec- tion of the president. In a word or two, he is the ne plus ultra of the bat- tle in the east and it is confidently ex pected that the'Lyceum will be crowd- ed from pit to dome. In addition to Mr. Malone there will be a number of other speakers, in- cluding M. B. Berdsley of Bridgeport, candidate for governor; Francis P. Gullfoyle of Waterbury, candidate for lieutenant governor, and F. E. Duffy of West Hartford, former progressive and candidate on the democratic ticket for secretary of state. These men are expected to draw heavily as the belief that the democratic ticket will carry the day on November 7 is general. Confidence in the republican camp is beginning to wane. Despite contrary statements by republican candidates this is known to be a fact right from the lips of prominent republicans who, for obvi- ous reasons, will not speak for publi- cation. Previous to the-rally Mr. Malone will speak in Meriden. The Silver City engagement is for early in the evening and he is expected fo occupy a seat on the stage at the Lyceum when the gavel drops. Mr. and Mrs. Malone will spend the night as guests at the home of Mr. Landers. ZEPPELIN KILLS 400 Grimsby Barracks Hit by Bomb, Berlin Claims—Cruiser Struck and Stxty of Crew Arve Slain.
