WASHINGTON, May 10.
President Wilson will not be stampeded
into precipitate action, It was stated by
an Administration ofllcial today. The
President is keeping In close touch with
all shades of popular feeling and Is fully
aware of the present state of public
opinion regarding what action the Gov
ernment should take. He has not yet
consulted with the Cabinet.
Reports are current that the President's
address In Philadelphia tonight will con
tain tho announcement of policy and will
be charged with significance as to what
action the Administration intends to take.
It la expected that he will counsel calm
and euspenslon of judgment until all de
tails are known.
Consensus of opinion in Washington to'
day, however, inclined to the belief that
President Wilson will address a note to
Germany demanding that Its submarine
warfare upon passenger ships be Instantly
discontinued. If Germany refuses, the
next step will be the severance of diplo
matic relations, according to reports. If
Germany then desires to declare war, It
can do so, and the United States will be
prepared to accept the situation.
Some reportB declare the President al
ready has determined to call an extra
session of Congress, and to lay the ques
tion fit reprlaals and of possible war be
forethat body, So far the President has
not consulted even a single cabinet mem
ber regarding the disaster.
President Wilson Is fully aware of the
growing storm of wrath in the nation, but
will insist on sufficient time In which to
evolve a proper policy and to view the
question from all angles. He announced
on Saturday night that he Intended to act
with firmness, and these words are con
sidered the keynote of the situation.
CALM BUT FIRM, WILSON POLICY,
Administration officials read in the an
nouncement made through Secretary Tu
multy the fact that the President' policy
will not be one modifying the reply which
be sent to the German note of last Feb
ruary. in which that country was warned
that It would be held to "strict account.

Germany launched another acrlnl attack

ITALIAN ULTIMATUM SENT
TO VIENNA, ROME REPORTS;
POPE'S HOPE OF PEACE GONE
Two Countries on Verge of War as
Victor Emmanuel's Government In
sists That All Territorial Demands
Must Be Granted at Once Sinking
of Lusitania Becomes a Factor.
Former Allies at Bay on Frontier, Where Latin Nation
Masses 600,000 Men Virtually All Military Reserve
Units Called to the Colors Germans and Austrians
Hastening to Leave Trains Jammed With Teutons.
Foreigners to Be Protected.
The long-threatened break between Italy and Austria is now but a qucs
Hon of a few hours, according to reports current in Rome. That an ultimatum
insisting upon the granting of all Italian demands and setting midnight to
night as the time limit has been sent to Vienna Is currently reported in Rome.
The Pope has abandoned all hope that war can be averted and has sent to
the clergy In Italy (nstnicflons (mifar to those sent to the clergy in countries
noio at war.
Public opinion In Italy has been immensely influenced by the destruction
of the Lusitanla, and even former antl-lntcrvcntionlst newspapers are noio
joining In the clamor for war.
Italy has called to the colors virtually the last units of its army reserves
and 600,000 troops have been massed at Verona.
GERMANY EXPRESSES SYMPATHY,
BUT REITERATES WARNINGS
BERLIN, May 10 The German Government has cabled
to the State Department at Washington an expression of the
deepest sympathy over the loss of American lives through the
destruction of the Lusitania. Germany, however, reiterates
her declaration that the responsibility rests with the British
Government.
The message is to be transmitted to the United States
through the Embassy at Washington. It declares that all Ger
many sympathizes with America in the loss of the American
citizens, but that the real responsibility rests with England's
starvation blockade.
Continuing, the German statement says:
"If England, after repeated oiiicial and unofficial warn
ings, considered herself able to declare that the boat ran no
risk, thus light-heartedly assuming the responsibility for
human lives, Germany, despite her heartfelt sympthy over the
loss of American lives, cannot but regret that Americans felt
more inclined to trust England's promises rather than to pay
attention to warnings from the German side."
British merchant vessels, which generally are armed, the
message of condolence says, have so frequently tried to ram
submarines that a previous search is impossible and hence they
cannot be treated like ordinary merchantmen.
The Official German statement further stales that the en
tire English press has admitted on her previous voyages the
Lusitania carried quantities of war materials and that it is ad
mitted that among her cargo on the last trip was 4500 cases of
small arm ammunition. It is also pointed out that the most
of the linens cargo was chiefly contraband.

SPECULATION OVER
VANDERBHT'S WILL
Not Known Which of Million
aire's Three Sons Will In
herit Bulk of Fortune.
NEW YORK, May 10. The fact of the
death of Alfred G. Vanderbllt In the Lu
sitanla catastrophe being definitely es
tablished, Interest today centered around
the distribution the multt millionaire may
have made of his fortune, which Is esti
mated at from t70.COO.000 to 100,000,000.
If the English precedent of heirship Is
followed In the Vanderbllt will, then Wll
Ham II. Vanderbllt, the eldest son of
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbllt, would Inherit
the bulk of the fortune. Some believe the
wealth will be evenly divided between
this son and the two others by Vander
bllt's second wife.
Others believe that Alfred Vanderbllt
may have followed the precedent of hU
father and have left the bulk of hU
wealth to his second son. In Alfred
Gwvnne's case It wbb done by his father
as an alternative to making the eldest
son, Cornelius, heir to the greater part
of the fortune. The father was displeased
at Cornelius because of his marriage
without parental consent.
Alfred G. Vanderpllt's three sons are:
William H.. by the first wife, who was
Miss Elsie French; Alfred Gwynne, Jr.,
born September 2. 191?, arid George, born
September 21, 13H. both by his second
wife, who was Mrs. Bmlth Hollls McKlm.
The Vanderbllt fortune, which these
three children are heirs to, consists mostly
of New York Central Railroad stock and
New York real estate.
ROME. Slay 10.
Austria's failure to reply to the de
mand mnde by Italy has brought the two
countries ngaln close to war. The Itnllnn
Government Is pressing for an Immediate
answer. It wns reported In official circles
today that Italy had sent f. Vienna na
ultimatum demanding a reply by mid
night tonight
Popo Benedict XV has abandoned all
hope that unr lirtween Italy and Austria
can be averted The Vatican today trans
mitted to all the clergy of Europe Instruc
tions similar to thoso already pent to the
clergy of other count! les now at war.
This was tnken us a elgn that the Vati
can no longer expects to bo preserved
The I'opo Is purported to having aalil to
Cardinal Gnspaui'
"All civilization seems to Imvo gone
mad. Our endeavors havo failed. It all
rests now In tho hands of God. May he
pity his misguided children."
Though recent developments had
caused optimism here, the general Im
pression today In many quarters was that
war between tho two nations In the Triple
Alliance was only a matter of hours.
Premier Salandra's message to all Ital
ian prefects to prevent any nttacks upon
foreigners is regarded as highly .signi
ficant. Austrians and Germana are not
specifically mentioned, but It Is believed
the Premier's warning was Issued to pro
tect theso nationalities.
The destruction of tho Lusltnnla has re
sulted In many of the newspapers which
In the past havo been lukewarm In their
support of war suggestions to change
their attitude. Many of them now say
that It is only n iiuestluu of time when
an Italian steamship will be torpedoed,
and the Government Ih urged to tako Im
mediate action against Austria.
Advices from every part of Italy show
that the Austilnn and German subjects
ate leaving by the hundreds. Most of
them have gone from Rome, even the
high church officials Every train passing
over the Swls frontier Is jammed with
Austrinns and Germans Their Consuls
havo been Instructed to gel them out of
tho country without delay and mahy
have sacrificed long established busi
nesses in order to leave.
