Germany Willing to Make
Amends For Sinking Ship
If Mistake Is Proved.
Washington D. C Dec L The Ger-
man commander who sunk the British
horse ship Marina with the loss of six
Americans has reported to his gov-
ernment "that he took the vessel for
a transport. Germany has asked the
United States for information of the
status of the ship and is ready to offer
amends if the Marina was entitled to
immunity.
The case was discussed today at a
conference between the German am-
bassador count von Bernstorff and
secretary of state Lansing. Germany
In a communication In reply to the in-
quiries of the United States has asked
for any Information in possession of
tnis government tnat win lead to a
settlement.
The conference between the ambas-
sador and secretary of state which
was brief developed that neither
seemed to be in possession- of such
complete information as would be es-
sential to a determination of the case.
The conference was asked for by count
Bernstorff.
Wae She a Transports
It Is understood that if the United
States can 'inform Germany that the
Marina was not n the British trans-
port service and was entitled to the
immunities of a peaceful merchant ship
the Berlin government is ready to ac-
knowledge an error and make offers
of settlement satisfactory to the United
States.
President Wilson is looking after
the case personally and will pass upon
any understanding reached by the am-
bassador and the secretary of state.
Marina Carried a Gun.
When the Marina was sunk it was
stated from London that there tra3
some ground for believing she had
been previously connected with th

prevention has been made at Roch-

The physicians would not state posi-
tively that the micro organism discov-
ered was that of Infantile paralysis
but said that their many experiments
pointed that way.
What are described as a "peculiar

isolated from the throat and tonsils of
acute cases of Infantile paralysis it

In different culture media the germs
assumed different sizes. In some cases
they were so small as to be invisible

them to a warehouse in another state
