Washington, May 11. President Wilson had practically decided toright on the first step in the policy which the United States government will pursue as a result of the sinking of the Brit- ish liner Lusitania, with the loss of more than a hundred American lives. The president will act promptly within another day or two. A draft of a communication to be sent to Ger- many was submitted to the cabinet to- day and approved unanimously. Will Insist Upon Explanation. While no official announcement was made, it was learned that the United tates would present and insist upon an explanation of the series of inci- dents which have occurred since the proclamation of a war zone around the British Isles—the sinking of the Fala- ba, causing the death of Leon C.

Persons familiar with the president’s point of view said, however, that he as by no means unprepared for naware of the possible eventualities of the present crisis and knew that ci cumstances and events over which the United States might have no control may make vigorous action necessary. German Note Will Not Affect Course. The circular from the German gov- ernment to neutral notes assuming responsibility and promising reparation for any damage in the war zone to neutral vessels will not affect the de- termined course of the president. It was considered by the cabinet today, but high officials later pointed out that there is no guarantee in it that the lives of Americans will be safeguard- ed, as submarines cannot accommodate passengers or crew of the vessels they attaci. WHITE HOUSE STAFF DELUGED WITH MESSAGES Expressing Confidence in the President in the Present Crisis. ‘Washington, May 11.—The White House staff was busy today with a deluge of messages almost unprece- dented in magnitude. Many were from governors of states, members of the senate and house and others comprised resolutions of state legislatures. The telegrams elmost _unanimously e pressed confidence in the president in the present crisis. They indicated that popular feeling over the disaster had by no means diminished, while most of the messages expressed the desire that something be done to show the indignation of the United States over the sinking of the Lusitania, many of them strongly opposed a recourse to war. All of the messages were delivered to the president angd it was expected he would go over as maeny of them as possible. DR. DERNBURG MAY BE REQUESTED TO LEAVE. His Utterances Are Becoming Objec- tionable to Officials. ‘Washington, May 11—t developed that during the cabinet meeting today serious consideration had been given to the status of Dr. Bernhard Dern- burg, former German colonial secre- tary, who has been in this country for several months past as e spokesman for the German cause. The statements of Dr. Dernberg justifying the torpedo- ing of the Lusitania as an incident of war, taken,in connection with other utterances, are understood to have met Wwith strong disapproval in high execu- tive quarters. This has led to some examination of precedents to see what courses are open to the government to restrict _the embarrassment _which many officials feel has resulted from his actlvity. The departure of Dr. Dernburg or the cessation of his ac- tivities would, it was intimated, not be unwelcome to the authorities here, to say the least. John Marron, brother of Mrs. J. J. Hackett, proprietoress f the Savoy hotel in Hartford, was placed under arrest charged with arson.

German Shops Wrecked. Mob attacks on German shops oc- curred in the Poplar, Limehouse, Step- ney, Walthamstow, Bethnal Green and Camdentown and other districts. Win- dows were smashed, shutters and doors were torn down and premises wrecked and in some instances the in- mates of the houses were maltreated. Feeling Rising Rapidly, Large bodies of police were called out to suppress the disturbances and eventually order w restored, but there is apprehens will be renewed gravated form, on that the trouble tomorrow in an az- as the feeling is rapid- ly rising and is being fostered by the demands of the press and many public men that drastic measures be taken against alien enemy subjects. Advice Unheeded by Mobs. At Queens Crescent, Camdentown where an open air recruiting meeting was being held, the speakers advised the crowd to refrain from attacks on Germans. This advice was unheeded, however, and directly the meeting end- ed a erowd of about 5,000 persons made a move upon all of the German shops in the meighborhood and pelted the windows with brickbats. The police were unable to control the rioters and a squad of territorials was brought to the scene and together with the mounted police gradually re- stored order. This was not done, how- ever, until & number of bakeries and other shops had been wrecked. ROOSEVELT WANTS DRASTIC AND PROMPT ACTION By the United States on Account of the Lusitania Affair. Syracse, N, Y, May 1l1.—Former President Theodore Roosevelt, tonight made a plea for prompt action by the United States on account of the Lusi- tania_disaster, while commenting on President Wilson's speech of last night to a gathering of naturalized Ameri- cans in Philadelphia. Colonel Roose- velt was particularly interested in that part of the president's speech in which the latter referred to “such a thing as a man being too proud to fight,” and “a nation being so right that it Qoes not need to convince others by force that it is right. During his address Colonel velt said: “The Germans committed various other infractions of interna- tional law, such as strewing the high s and trade routes with mines and British and neutral vessels will con- tinue to run danger from this course whether Germany abandons her sub- Roose- marine blockade or not. “It should be noted that since the employment of submarines contrary to international law, the Germans also have been guiity of the use of asphy ting gas. They have even proceeded the polsoning of water in South Afric: In closing Mr. Roosevelt said: “Without twenty-four hours’ delay this country should and could take ective action by declaring that in view of Germany's murderous offenses against the rights of neutrals all com- merce with Germany shall be forth- with forbidden and all commerce of every kind permitted and encouraged with France, England and the rest of the civilized world. “This would not be a declaration of war. It would merely prevent muni- tions of war being sent to a power which by its conduct has shown wil- lingness to use munitions for the slaughter of unoffending men, women and children. “I do not believe that the firm as ertion of our rights means war, but it is well to remember there are thin worse than war. “Let us as a nation understand that peace is of worth only when it is the handmaiden of international righteous- ness and of national self-respect GERMAN-AMERICANS. Where It Is Declared by Herman Rid- der That They Stand. New York, May 11.—The following appeared in the English column of the Staats-ZeZitung yesterday morn- ing: A Pertinent Question. “What attitude do German-Ameri- cans take toward the German sub- marine policy as evidenced by the fate of their fellow-citizens on the usi- tania? Are they with the president of the United States or the emperor of Germany?’—The Evening Malil. I speak for myself and, 1 believe, for the great majority of German- Americans, when I say that we are with the president of the United States to the finish in all matters af- fecting national honor or natlonal prestige.
