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.

PLANE HURLS ZEPPELIN BLAZiNGTO RUIN Canadian Destroys Great Dirigible, Which Crashes in Flames on Orphanage in Belgium, Killing Crew. THBHJJN0 BATTLE OF THE SKY British Wasp Speedier Than German Airship and Gains Position of Vantage. 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.
