CABINET TODAY
Bryan Refuses to Say Whether the

WON'T DISCUSS IT AT ALL
Lansing Says Reply Will Not Be
Transmitted to Berlin Before

BRYAN AND WILSON CONFER
BtLLFTt.
WASHINGTON, June 7. Counsel
lor Lansing of the State department
made the positive statement today
that the note to Germany will not go
forward tonight. It Is understood it
will go before the cabinet again to
morrow. BILLET I.
WASHINGTON, June 7. Secre
tery Bryan bad a conference with
President Wilson at noon today and
Is understood to have gone over the
final draft of the German note with
him. After leaving the president
Mr. Bryan refused to say whether the
president had given him the note for
transmission to Berlin and would not
discuss It In any way.
WASHINGTON, June 6. Presi
dent Wilson's note to Germany will
be cabled to Ambassador Gerard
iate tonight or early Tuesday morn
ing, acordlng to word from the White
House last night.
The only reason for the delay. It
was said, was the president's desire
to make the phraseology of the note
so explicit and unmistakable as to
leave no room for doubt or further
argument concerning the position of
the United States government that
the righ tof search must be exercised
and passengers and crew of unarmed
ships on which neutrals- are voyaging
transferred to a place of safety be
fore any prise Is destroyed by a bel
ligerent warship. . ...
Official familiar with the contents of
the note said It was a forceful rotter.,
tion cfthw principles expressed by the
United bl5BS TGT Its not of February 10.
when the 'America '.' government aa
Bounce that It could not admit the rifrht
of the German admiralty's proclamation
of a war sons to Infringe in any way
upon the right of neutrals to travel any
where on the hlaii seas on peaceful mer
chantmen and that the German govern
ment would be beM to a "strict accounta
bility" for any violations of American
rights.
In German quarters the optimism which
has been apparent since Count von Bern
storff, the German ambassador, talked
with President Wilson continued today,
the impression being given that the road
to an understanding- was ajnuch clearer
than it had been since the Lusitania was
destroyed.
The belief constantly is expressed In
German quarters that the crisis over the
Lualtanla case has passed. It frequently
Is pointed out, too, that the present cor
respondence over neutral rights may lead
to a discussion of the general subject of
the fredom of the seas and some Oerman
officials have suggested that out of the
exchanges of notes with Germany, fol
lowed by further correspondence with
Great Britain on neutral lights, the way
may be opened even to the makng of
peace.

BOMBS DO THE DEADLY WORK
LONDON, June 7. For the first
time on record, a Zeppelin In the air
has been destroyed by an aviator In
an aeroplane. Reginald J. W'arne
ford, a young Canadian sublieutenant
in the royal navy, who mastered
neroplaning only this summer, has
performed the feat, and tonight is
somewhere within the British lines
while a Zeppelin lies in ruins,
sprawled on the roof and ground of
an orphanage near Ghent.
Falling there a biasing mass after being
struck by the young aviator's bombs. Its
crew of twenty-eight (Ml were killed, as
were aloo several occupants of the
orphanage buildings.
Itnd Pded Ens-lead.
The theory is advanced that thin Zep
pelin was the craft which raided the east
coast of England last night for the fact
that it was in the air over Belgium, be
tween Ghent and Brussels, at 3 o'clock
In the morning leads to the belief that It
waa returning from an expedition, not
starting.
Dawn break early thene. days and the
huge Zeppelin could be sighted far off.
and it is presumed that the craft was
headed for Us home hangar when Werne
ford came swiftly under the gray skies.
The Zeppelin waa flying comparatively
low, began to mount at once, but the
British wasp was opeedler and climbed
into the air in long spirals, reaching: a
poaltion at length over the German's vast
bulk. From this point of vsntage Warne-
ford pierced the Zeppelin's shell re
peatedly with his Incendiary bombs.
Mory WHhoat Parallel.
Without parallel In this war or any
other Is the story the young aviator will
have to relate. While details of the fight
have not yet been learned, it is known
that first came the long pursuit. Accord
ing to the admiralty report, the aeroplane
waa S.OOO feet up and to reach this aJtl
tude would require nearly twenty- miles.
The Zeppelin could drive forward about
fifteen "mllee, - , ' r-"
Then followed fthe maneuvering for
position and finally the dropping of the
bombs, from Which the dirigible tried
vainly to escape. Minor explotaons, oc
curred and at last, ono of terrific force
and the Zeppelin burst into flames.
At that moment Warneford must have
been clone ever the dirigible, for almost
simultaneously with the outburst, his
machine turned completely over, and for
4 moment he hung head down, with his
monoplane,- all control of which had been
lost, pitching and tossing in ' the swift
currents ot air, which rushed up to fill
the vacuum created.

Appeal for 300,000 Men is
Satisfactory,
CRITICISM OF PRESS RESENTED
LONDON. June 7. All the new
ministers ot the British coalition
cabinet appeared on the front bench
in the House of Commons this after
noon. Premier Asquith and the new
secretary for the colonies, A. Bonar
Law, and others were cheered by the
whole house when they rose to
answer Questions.
Premier Asquith announced that the
response to Field Marshal Earl Kitch
ener's appeal for 800,000 recruits had been
satisfactory,
"Alluding to the intervention of Italy,
Mr. Asquith said:
"During half a century there never has
been a shadow of discord between the
two nations. AVe regard Italy as one of
the custodians of the free traditions of
Kuro)e. We warmly grasp the hand of
Italy and welcome its gallant sailors and
soldiers sa fellow comrades in the strug
gle on which the liberty ot the world de
pends." Criticism of Kitchener.
Frederick G. Kellaway, liberal member
for Bedford, asked "whether the govern
ment has the power of stopping the mis
ohlevous campaign of a group of news
papers which endeavored to prevent men
from Joining the army by refusing to pub
lish Lord Kitchener's appeal for more
men, and violently attacked Its conditions
and whether the government waa aware

."The action of these journals has stim

be rapidly available."
Mr. Tennant's answer was greeted with
cheers.
Mr. Kellaway asked assurance from the
coalition government that "this malignant
press will not be able to continue Its
attacks on tha leaders of the notion.".
Mr. Tennant, however, said he thought
this action was not necessary.
Nerd of Shells.
Home Secretary Simon moved the sec
ond reading of the bill creating a
ministry of munitions. He explained that
the new department would concern Itself
with the supply of munitions, but that
the fighting department would determine
the nature, extent and urgency uf tlieir
needs. The homo secretary said the army
wanted as many shells as organised
industry was capable or producing and
as quickly as possible.
The munitions bill evoked some opposi
tion, W, M. R. Frlngls it bora t member of
the northwest . division of Lanarkshire,
advanced the argument that the bill gave
the new minister unlimited power, He
was vlrtualy a dictator, and to supply
munitions, he could. If necessary, take
the most radical steps in the coal fields.
Phillip Bnowden, socialist member for
Blackburn, announced that If any at
tempt were made to thrust forced labor
on the country be would oppose It at
every stage.
John Dillon, nationalist member for
East Mayo, aald: "Before you say 'Up.
dictator,' we are entitle 1 to know what
his powers are to be. Certain newspa
pers are applauding the Ideals of Prus
tanlam. We must take care that the
war does not result In the establishment
of Prussianlsm In this country."

On the section of wings which Joins the

an ordinary runner biplane with the en
