rejoinder- . to Foreign Minister von

Washington, June 11. (U. P.) Un
til Germany's reply to President Wil
son's rejoinder, delivered at the foreign
office lrt Berlin today, is received no
additional international problems will
be pressed to solution. The protest to
the allies because of interference with
American shipping is not yet complet
ed, and Acting Secretary of State Lan
sing admitted this afternoon that it
might not be ready for transmission
for come time.
That Great Britain may forestall
this move by the United States by re
plying to'fthe origtnalAmerican pro
test against the' British order in coun
cil was "also indicated by Lansing. It
is understood Sir Edward Grey, the
British foreign - minister, prepared the
data for such a reply some weeks ago,
but 'that the answer has' been held up
because of the negotiations in prog
ress between Washington and Berlin.
.. .The cabinet meeting -today was only
of a routinev.:trtT president
and his advisers are pleased by the
favorable way in which the press 're
ceived the new German note. Private
ly: the view of the cabinet members
was that the note wpuld be acceptable
to Jermany. and that such concessions
would be made as' to result in a com
plete agreement in the near future. ,
A majority or tne newspapers any
many or - rormer secretary, Bryan s
friends are wondering why he could not
sign the rejoinder, in view of the xact
that he stood sponsor for previous
communications couched in more dras
tic v terms". He declared he resigned
rather than sign the note forwarded
to Berlin, but did not explain the ques
tion raised today. Rumor that the
note was changed after Bryan resigned
