United States renews demands on Germany over Lusitania note
The latest U S note to Germany asks for assurances to safeguard American lives and ships on the high seas and notes Germany may be misinformed about the Lusitania. Robert Lansing signed the communication as Bryan refused to sign, resigning as Secretary of State. The note asserts the ship was unarmed and compliant, and offers Germany a chance to submit evidence if American inspectors erred.

Note WENT Unchanged Says Lansing On Germany
Acting Secretary of State Lansing told reporters that the latest note to Germany had not been altered after Mr. Bryan resigned and that diplomacy may not share the Washington optimism. Officials say the note hides an iron fist under velvet gloves and that the sequence of notes stresses accountability for American losses and adherence to international law. President Wilson hopes the United States and Germany will amicably resolve the questions involved.
