There will bo nothing In tho nature of an ultimatum and there will be no threats, but tho document's entire tono will be one of absoluto firmness, leaving no doubt as to what this Government will do If tho fac tions do not end their activities. It also Is certain that there will be no recognition of any of the present "pro visional governments." What the Ad ministration desirw Is a "new deal" south of the Itlo arande; one that will end the present state of anarchy.

Every nation must have rights on the seas. "Tho world must not forget that England was the first belligerent to violate the rules of the oceans. England first put mines In .the North Sea and she was tho first to declare a war zone. She was the drat to declare that she would starve our women nnd children. England must be the first to go back and make the- wnr normol." The Secretnry emphasized this last remark with a vehement rap on the desk that left no doubt as to tho firmness of his convictions. "What la Germany's position regarding neutrals traveling on belligerent ships?" he was asked. "That returns to the Lusltanla matter," he replied. "We feel before we discuss that officially with the United States that the two Governments must havo a clear and definite understanding of the facts. That Ib what Germany seeks to convey In her note. We believe Americans are reasonable enough to grant us time first to come to nn understanding on every fact. GERMAN VIEWPOINT MISUNDERSTOOD "We do not believe the American Government understands our viewpoint For us it Is a principle to defend ourselves In every way at our command. Thero was enough ammunition aboard the Lusltanla to kill 50,000 soldiers. Do you blame us for using every means to destroy that to save the lives of 50,000 of our men?" When the Secretary finished his voice trembled, showing his convictions were deeply rooted. When I entered his office, Herr von Jagow was reading the autobiography of Andrew D. White, former Amerloan Ambassador to Berlin, He nskeil . read page 168, where White declares that the attitude of the German Foreign Offlce toward Amerlo. during the Spanish War was "all that could be desired." REFERS TO ANDREW D, WHITE White said that one time the American Consul at Hamburg telegraphed that a Spanish vessel, supposed to be laden with arms for use against the United States In Cuba, was leaving port. "1 hastened to the Foreign Offlce and urged vigorous steps, with the result that the vessel was overhauled and searched at the mouth of the Elbe" con tlnued White. "Germany might easily have pleaded that America had generally shown Itself opposed to any Interference with shipments of small arms to belli erents. She might also have contended that she wa not obliged to searoh vessel, to find contraband, but that this duty was incumbent upon the bellg-.t nation concerned," The Secretary elesed the book without further comment.

Mr. Richmond today, "nnd I will not surrender them. I will preach at St. John's Church next Sunday, too. In spite of tho Bishop." This last statement was made in icply to nn announcement that Blshon Rhine lander has appointed tho Rev. H. M. G. Huff to fill tho pulpit temporarily until tho vefetry shall call nnother rector. Tho decree, which goes Into effect today. Is thought In Episcopal Church circles to offer nmple possibilities of an embarrass ing situation next Sunday, in ruse the Rev. Mr. Richmond nnd tho Rev. Mr. lluft should both arrive at the church to preach. Tho Rev. Mr. Huff, who was secretary of the Diocese of Pennsylvania under the late Bishop Whltokcr, filled a Elmllar position when the Rev. Frank Solicit Bnllentlne, now known ns "Father Bally," wus removed from his rharge. It Is probable thnt tho vestry will under take by legal action to compel Richmond to surrender the church property.
