SALIENT POINTS IN
BETWEEN
WITH REGARD TO PAST ACTS
1. President Wilton demanded disavowal of acts subversive of
, rales of Warfare.
2. He also demanded reparation so far as possible for injury re
sulting from such acts.
On these two points the German reply ashs for a determination of
the real facts and suggests the reference of these facts to the Hague
Tribunal.
WITH REGARD TO FUTURE CONDUCT
1, Tihe President's note demanded immediate steps to prevent the
recurrence of acts injurious to the rights of neutrals, including the United
States.
2. The President's note pointed out the fact that the United States
expected Germany to observe the terms of the treaty made in 1828 with
regard to neutral ships.
On these points, the German note is silent, but with regard to the
position of the United States in these particulars there can be no "back
down" by the President.
X THE PRESIDENT WILL INSIST
1. That neutral vessels, whatever their cargo, must first be searched
before being 'taken" or destroyed, and thai passengers non-combatants 7
must be saved.
2. That ships of belligerent nations, carrying American passengers,
must be visited and examined and passengers saved before the ship is
destroyed.
3. That the terms of the treaty of 1828 be observed by Germany.
WASHINGTON. May 31.
Amerlcnn's future policy toward Ger
many was taking shape today. Ger
many's rejection ot President Wilson's
specific demand that undersea warfare
relther be stopped or safeguarded, for non
coinbatnntK protection, is In tho Aumin-
flstratlon'a hands.

jf reply. The President had already been

While the President was away rrom

U. S. AND GERMANY
PONY RACES TO DEATH
AFTER WINNING PRIZE
AT DEVON HORSE SHOW
Fairholme-Dilham's Lady,
Owned by Miss Henrietta
Moore Schmidt, of Rad
nor, a Runaway Spills
Driver, Who Is Hurt.
A runaway ending In the death of Fair
holme Dllham's Lady, a blooded pony,
belonging to Miss Henrietta Moore
Schmidt, of Radnor, caused much ex-
'cltement at the Devon Horse Show to
day.
The pony had Just won the yellow rib
bon. In a harnessing competition and re
tired from the ring. As it crossed tht
COnestoga road to the stable, a passing
automobile frightened It. Dashing madly
down the road It spilled the groom from
the light car to which It waB attached
and'ended Its mad drive full force against
a birch tree on Lancaster avenue. It was
so badly Injured that the show veterinar
ian was forced to kill It. The groom was
Injured.
The morning show was all the young
sters' own. Driving or riding, they more
than upheld the traditions of local horse
manship that are a byword throughout
the country.
In some of the classes for saddle ponies
the riders were so 'diminutive that at first
look the saddles seemed quite empty, but
they knew the game and showed as little
concern over the occasioned cavortlngs
and buckings of their mounts as do their
more experienced elders. "Jlmmle" Litch
field, a five-year-old horseman with
"hands" and a "seat" that surpassed not
a few of the Corinthian class riders, made
a hit In the novice pony class.
Emily H. Clothier, Alma Wanamaker,
Anne Ashton, Frances Powell, George A.
Vare, 2d, and Jane Cox are other chil
dren who rode successfully and to the
tune Qf muoh applause from a generous
grandstand for the morning session.
The weather gods It would seem are not
altogether devoid of courtesy where the
fairer sex Is concerned, Jf there la any
doubt In your mind about It remember
that today la "Ladles' Day" at the Devon
Horse Show, and then look at the won
derful sky without so much as the tiniest
cloud marring Its whole expanse.
The ring showed the effects of the
heavy ralu of yesterday and was slippery
and muddy In spots. But a temporary
ring Inside the larger one was roped off
and the events run off there. This gave
tho main track a chance to dry out.
"Ladles' Day" s a real term, too. when
the Devon management uses It. Women
are tho only Judges (n tho ring, there is
a women's press committee, and nearly
all the events are reserved exclusively
for women or children as participants.
put even at that tho wpraen are not
the 'only consideration at this, the last,
session of the biggest and best exblbl-
