England May Send Wool to America to Have It Combed (Correspondence of the Associated rrea.) IXNDON. July S. Tho wool situation at Bradford Ii an Interesting one from American standpoint 1-abor for comb ing wool there haa been di-leled to such an extent that the wool men have not 'only raised the question of the d.slrahll. 1'y of Importing tops from America, but alao the Idea of shipping wool to Amer ica to be combed there and sent back .er. The suggestion Is also inado that the difficulties might be met by bring trig men ba-k from the front to work (he combing machines. All tbs tops required by the English trade could be brought from Australia, t ut the latter supply seems to be going to Japan and aa the difference tn time rf transit Is so great, the desirability of treating with America Is apparent. Heaps of wool are available, but few combs to work It with, leaves the price at a very high level. A Bradford paper reports that the Hoard of Trade aa signified Its Inten tion of allowing 11,000.000 pounds of tootch Mack faced out of tha new clip to be exported to the I'nlted "tales, but no confirmation could be obtained from the Board of Trade or the war office on the subject. The fifth series of colonial wool sales commencing June St, with VXl.oiw bales available representing a value of about ft.iOO.OOO sterdng. will probably be pro. longed until July 11. Owing to the cha otic conditions at ths warehouaea and on the railways, selling brokers have agreed to restrict dally offerings to too) bales, that betnt. tne quantity which cau ba conveniently handled. Very little wool haa changed hands since the last auction, but the market expects a small advance In the price of merino wool of good combing quality, and about unrhand rate for croasbreds s th government Is not giving out fur ther orders for khaki at present.

WASHINGTON. July Count von Demstorff. Ocrman ambassador, will present to Secretary Lansing to morrow the view that Germny'g reply to the American note on sub marine warfare was Intended to pave the way for negotiations on the part of the United States with Oreat Bri tain as well as Germany to adjust KUAHtlong that have arisen over con traband and submarines as affecting the rights of neutrals. The German ambaaaaftor for several days has been snxlous to see Secretary Lanalng, but tha latter expressed a preference not to dlacuea the Oerman reply until he had examined It carefully. Today Mr. Lanalng met the ambassador at a club and set tomorrow as the date for the conference. are Uermaay Will Aeeeat. Count voa Uernstortt la confident that hla government emphasised In the last note Its wllllngneai to work "hand-ln-hsnd" with tha American government for the eatarliahment of the freedom-of-t he sea principle with ths express purpose of entering Into negotiations now on ths entlro question of maritime warfare, He sent ths suggestion through Dr. Anton fyer-Qsrhsrd that ths note should con tain such an Intimation. Having followed his suggestion ths ambassador la sure his government will accept a tender of good offices for ths mediation of the dispute. This would Involve an acceptance by Great Itrltaln of the service of the United Btates as mediator to bring about the termination of the British order-ln-cqun-ell. aa well as Germany's submartns at tacks upon merchantmen. - Official ' of the American government In tbs last few days have heard the re ports concerning possible mediation of the questions, but slwsys have Indicated that negotiation along such llnea could ba begun only if there wens assurance that In tha meantime Oerman submsrlne commanders would be guided by th" rrln Ctplee for w hich the United State I con tendingthat Americana on belligerent hips which are unarmed and do not re sist cspturs be not endangered. In of ficial Oerman quartera here, however. emphasis Is placed on tho fact that Ger many In the laat month has not torpedoed even enemy ships without warning and that this practice very probably will be continued. In support of this confidence, Oerman officials drew attention today to a state ment given out by the Overseas Kws sgency, an official agency. In Berlin yeaterday. They declared that the state ment muet have had the aanctlon of the Oerman government. It recited the num ber of HrltUh Ruaaian. French and Bel gtan ship sunk during June and added this comment: 'The loss of human life waa remark ably small, the submarines using every precaution and giving ample warning and time for crcwe to leave their ships, if no resistance were attempted." Officials hers who 'read the statement admitted that If this practice were con tlnued the principles for which the United Btates asked assursnce In Us note of June t would be complied with to a large ex tent The treatment which the American gov ernment will give to the Lusltanla case In Its next note Is causing much concern even tn Oerman quarters. It Is not be lieved the Oerman ambassador will dis cuss this phase with Secretary Lauislng tomorrow, but he 1 said to believe that his government would not be opposed to furtuer negotiations over the sinking of sing before him, I'resldent Wilson today began to outline definitely the position he believes the United States .must as sume ss a result of the last note from Germany on submarine warfare, but just how drsstlo thl position would be could not be learned. The president nearly haa finished his preliminary study of the German situa tion snd soon will be ready for the con ference with ffecretary Lanalng and mem bers of his cabinet which will be begun next week. It waa said tonight that he would be in Washington In time for the regular cabinet meeting Tuesday. It could not be learned here tonight whether ths president had sent Mr. Lansing any Instructions regarding his scheduled Interview tomorrow with Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador. Wll Not Comment. Mr. Wilson refused to comment on ths reported receipt by the American govern ment of a note from Austria-Hungary protesting against large exports of muni tions of war to the allies, but the Impres sion waa gained that he had been In formed of the note. The president worked on ths German situation and other official business for several hours today after a game of golf. Late this afternoon he went automobile riding. Irvlagrtoa.
