CONTENTS NOTE
NOT REVEALED
BERLIN, April 11.—The reply
in the Sussex case of the Imperial
German government to the United
States was handed to Ambassador
Gerard, who, it is presumed, has al
ready dispatched it to Washington
I>. C.
The reply simply declares that the
German government has no know
ledge of the attack upftn the British
steamer Sussex without any warn
ing; that the closest investigation
carried on with care by the Minister
of Marine reveals in fact that the
attack was not the work of a Ger
man U boat.
The note further says that on this
account the German government is
unable to afford the United Stales
any information on the matter con
cerning which answers to certain
interrogations had been requested
It is already believed here that this
ends the matter.
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 11.—
The German reply on the Sussex
question has been received. Owing
to a partial report of the Minister
Marine’s work. investigating the
matter being inserted in the reply
thus making it lengthy, it will take
some time to decodify the dispatch.
On this account none of the con
tents of the note have been made
public. It is however known to be
a complete disclaimer of an.- and
all knowledge concerning the alleged
attack upon the Sussex.

WASHIGTON, D. C„ April 12.—
War mattero still attract the atten
tion of Congrocs notably in the Sen
ate where big preparations are be
ing made to operate the new navy
bill safely through.
Today the Senate ordered it man
datory upon Secretary of the Navy
Department, Josophus Daniels, ti
make public two reports concerning
the condition of the United States
Navy.
Thece reports indicate a sorry con
dltion, and it ia believed that their
publication will further the bigger
navy plans which will otherwise ex
perience trouble in materializing. To
say the choice is between Pork and
Preparedness, is perhaps to convey
directly the acute dilemma in which
the solons find themselves.
The high prices of food are af
fected by two resolutions, one about
the vagaries of the packers and the
other concerning grain brokers. No
action is likely to follow.
Daniels is optimistic about the
navy and today stated that the navy
personel for the first time exceeded
fifty-four thousand and that more
were procurable. The effective ad
vertising which the department has
made use of is credited with this
pleasing condition in the service.

SEIZURE FROM CHINA
WASHINGTON, D. C. April 12.—
The British reply relative to the
seizing of Germans off the Americai.,
liner ‘China asserts that tho men
seized were in charge of the opera
tions directed against Allied shipp
ing in Shanghai and had arranged
to remove their base of operations
from Shanghai to Manilla. They
were practically therefore in the
conduct of their operations when
seized.
The answer is not regarded as
satisfactory.

Answering the American note Ger
many contends that the Englishman,
Eagle Point, Manchester, Engineer
and Berwindale were submarined

the signals of the Genian U boat.
The Sussex atnek Is unequivocally
denied.
WASHINGTON, D. C„ April 12.—
Not much satisfaction is taken out
of the German note relative to the
sinking of unarmed merchantmen,
some of which carried Americans.
It practically re-open3 the entire
question and throws the issuo up to
the United States government.

that much as canned food is em

so far unknown there.
(While Davis’ novels attalted con
