tonight. It is known, however, that
i?v> United States hivernaient is pre?
pared to contravert every point men
tioned in the summary of the German
position as published,
j Indisputable evidence lias ' been
j gathered to prove Uiat the Lusitania
. carried no guns. There is a feeling of
J pessimism in many garters here over
? Germany's reported evasion of many
of the. president's demanda for a re
I paration for the loss bf more .than a
hundred American lives, and regard
ing submarine warfare..
A gravo factor lias been added' to
the German situation by the firming of
! the American commission, appointed
by Ambassador Page, that the Ameri
can steamer Nebraskan wan torpedoed
j ky a submarine without warning.
