Germany Shifts Stance in Lusitania Talks With Berlin Proposal
Washington February 5 The Wilson administration plans to study Berlin’s latest reply before Monday and officials say the situation remains unchanged. Germany proposes accepting liability for neutral deaths on the Lusitania while stopping short of admitting illegality, hoping to appease the United States without halting submarine warfare. Secretary Lansing maintains U S. position unchanged and argues Germany’s draft should be read as a broader claim about the submarine campaign.
