NEXT NOTE TO THE
KAISERDEFIHITE
Will Not Indulge in Very Extended
Diicnision of Principles Al
ready Stated.
BEE17ST0BTP CALLS OH LANSINQ
WASHINGTON, July 17. The
situation that has arisen between
Germany and the United States over
Germany's failure to grant the
American demands growing out of
the sinking of the Lusitanla will be
laid by President Wilson before his
cabinet next Tuesday.
Several drafts of a note setting
forth the course which the United
States Intends to follow as a result
of the German reply have been pre
pared and will be discussed by the
president with Secretary Lansing
Monday and submitted to the cabi
net the next day.
Although officials generally ire reti
cent, the purpose of the I'nlted States
to continue to assert Its rights on tho
high seas probably will be announced lit
definite form In the next note. In au
thoritative quarters It was statod that
j the new note very likely will indulge in
! 10 extended discussion of the principles
1 already stated and reiterated,
j It became known in official quarters,
too, that there was little likelihood 'hat
J the United States would subordinate the
Lusitanla ease or assertion of Its rights
to the Intimations from Germany of a
willingness to have the United States
mediate between Oreat Britain and Ger
many in an effort to restore recognition
of the principle of the freedom of tho
sees.
Much stress was placed on this point
by Count von Bomstorff, the German
ambassador, in an Informal Interview
with Secretary I-anMng today, but high
officials, recalling that on effort to me
diate on the subject of submarine war
fare and contraband already has failed,
indicated that the step would not be
repeated unless specific request was made
by ono or the other of the belligerents.
Inasmuch aa Count von Bernstorff had
no instructions from his government und
brought no communlcstlon from his for
eign office, Ms visit today, some officials
aid, was unlikely to change the pur
pose of the United mates to take into
consideration solely what was said by
Germany in Its last note. The ambassa
dor exchanged views with Mr. Lansing
on all phases of the question and sent a
long report to Berlin.
Doesn't Commit Self.
The Interview, It was believed, might
"hsAe tangible results during the ooure
of later negotiations, since the American
viewpoint was explained to some extent
by Secretary Lansing. Mr. Lansing,
however, did not commit himself In the
absence of the president to the oours
that th United States would follow. -
iThe ambassador expressed confidence
ate today that the situation between the
two countries was not critical and that
la rupture of relation seemed Impossible
because of th desire of both governments
(to avoid It. He believes there will be no
repetition of attacks without warning en
passenger vessels ' of belligerents and
jbases his optimism on the fact that Ger
Jman submarines recently have exercised
great precautions.
j When asked it oral assurances that
American would be safe on unresisting
and unarmed belligerent ships would be
acceptable, Secretary Lansing told In
OUlrers that If such assurances were
given by direction of the German govern
ment they would be as satisfactory aa
those of a formal character. A yet
he bad nothing from Berlin on this
phase of the situation since the last note
arrived.
j Pots Views la Shape.
! CORNISH, N. H., July IS. President
Wilson today virtually put in snap the
views on the German situation which
he will communicate to Secretary Lansing
and other members of his cabinet on his
return to Washington next week.
1 No announcement on the subject' will
be made, however, until the president
has met with his cabinet and determined
fully on the details of th next step In
the American policy.
The protest from Austria-Hungary
against the shipment of larg consign
ments of munitions of war to the allies.
nd the situation growing out of the
Interference of Great Britain with com
merce of the United States and neutral
rations In Kurope came In for a share
of the president's attention today, but he
let it be known that all information
would have to come from the Stat department.
