BERNST0RFF TO SEE EXECUTIVE
I
WASHINGTON, Juue 1. After;
more'than two hours discussion l.y ;
President AVilson and the cabinet
over the international problems with
respect to Germany and Mexico con-;
fronting the United States, preps r a-!
tlons of a second note to Germany
was begun and a warning to the fac
tions in Mexico waa completed.
No announcement waa made further ,
than that the president's statement warn-
Ing the Mexcsn leaders to Improve con-;
dltlons would be made nubile tomorrow
morning. AH the cabinet officers were
especially reserved over what ho been !
said about Germany's -reply to. the;
I.usltanla note. It waa generally under
stood that while no flnnl conclusion was ,
reached, the president listened io a varied ;
expression of views and that the govern- j
rnent' course would be shaped hy to-
night or tomorrow at the White Hon- !
where the final decision . on foreign j
policies must rest during the adjourn-
ment of congress.
Brief Jtote to Be Seat.
The pi everting belief after the caolnet I
meeting was that a note, probably very i
brief, would t dlnpatched to Germany j
asking whether the Imperial government '
Intends by It answer to 'disregard fun- j
dsmental principle of International law.
If Germany' answer indicates an tin-!
willingness to recognise what .have hith
erto been regarded universally as ac-J
cepted principle of International law
baaed on custom and law of humanity,
the L'nited State probably will sever
diplomatic relation with Germany. That
view .found expression la quarter close
to tils' White 1 rouse- and wa looked upon
a the most plausible trend of the Amert-Can"g6Veri.mbhl'-'pbTJcy.

When Count Bernatorff. the German

posal differing from the reply signed by
Hot Von Jo ww, the German foreign
minister tt wa believed today In well
informed quarter that hi visit will not
affect the character of the new Ameri
can note,, although the president per
sonal view. It was thought, would be Im
pressed u.ion the ambassador and might
have some influence in Berlin on the re
ception or the forthcoming note.
The president.' It 1st understood, ha
ben much impressed with the practically
unanimous verdict of American editorial
opinion that the German answer I not
really an answer, but an evasion of th
greater Issues of law and humanity. His
close advisers say he regards It Is a
true reflection of th opinion of the
country and will endeavor by hi action
to express it

fjONDON. June 1. "The German note
in reply to the communication of th
United atatea, concerning the Liusltanla,
the text of which i before u this morn
ing, is a document of grat Importance
in the evolution of sea law and it
raise questions, the substance of which
concern u all." say the Westminster
Gasette, In an editorial srtlele this
Ing. .
Continuing, th newspaper msvkea th
point that previous to thta war It was
an unquestioned ' prtnoipla that a bel
ligerent who seised an enemy merchant
man wa responsible for the safety of
non-combatant, whether passenger or
crew.
In an extreme case, where for hi own
safety, the belligerent sank the vessel,
he was under obllbatlon to the passenger
and crew. In the early stage of the
war," th Gasetto continue, "we w
thl obligation honorably acknowledged
by the captain of the Emden and other
German cruisers.
"The American note stands for thl
principle. Th German reply argues that
danger from suspicious craft Is reason
for the sinking of a vessel so quickly that
Its crew and passenger are unable to
escape."
