The course of President Wilson has been determined and will be made publii in the near future, according to 8 statement dealing with the Lusitania situation, issued from the white house announced today. Although a statement to the public at this time was denied, the plans of the president are believed to le: Ask Germany for a more accurate definition of its attitude toward American shipping, cargoes and lives in the war zone; point out that, in all three re-sK-cts, the I nitcd States has lost heavily and, so far as evidence has indicated, through German operations; refer to the sinking of the liner h'ulaha resulting in the loss of the life of l-eon C.

T. Thresher, an American, the attack iimiii Ciilfiight and the sinking of the I.usitania; admit that the evidence probably does not conclusively prove that Germany was responsible for the attack upon the steamer dishing and the toiedoiiig of the Giilfliglit, but inquire whether the kaiser's government accepts the responsibility for those two incidents; call atten tion to the fact that Germany lias already accepted responsibility for the attacks tion the I'alaha and I.usitania, and finally, ask that assurances be given that such attacks will not occur again in the future. There is good authority for the statement, that no alternative will be mentioned in the event Germany should refuse to comply with re quests contained in the note, especially that asking assurances that no further attacks, such as was directed against the I.usitania, will be made. There will be nothing in the nature of a threat or an ultimatum. The communication will be largely in the nature of a dignified remonstration against the German methods of eon-ducting its submarine warfare.

The German assertion that, its methods are justified by the policy of allies in endeavoring to starve Ger-i many will not be accepted. The president is hopeful that the message may be so expressed and present so strong a case that Germany itself will admit it is in the wrong. EXKIMTSKS HKI.I) AT V. OK C. BERKELEY, May 12.

So serious had the "alien enemy" problem become today, following the rioting of last night, during which shops owned by naturalized Germans were wrecked, that a special meeting of the cabinet was called to consider measures to be taken.
