WASHINGTON, June 1 1. Until
Germany's reply to the rejoinder has
been received no additional Interna
tional problems will be pressed for so
lution. The protest t0 the allies be
cause of Interference with American
shipping Is not yet completed and
Lansing admitted It might not be for
some time. That Great Britain may
forestall this move by replying to the
original American protest against the
British order-in-councll was also In

meeting today was of a routine na

pleased with the favorable way in
which the press has received the new
German note. Privately, the view of
the cabinet was the note will be ac
ceptable to Germany and that such
concessions will be made as to result
In a complete agreement In the near
future.
The majority of the newspapers and
many of Bryan's friends are wonder

terms.
Bryan Expresses pleasure.
WASHINGTON. June 11. "I'm

of the "press regarding the note to

time the papers began to publish fore

WASHINGTON. June 11. Bryan
declared he would "rest his case"
i with a statement to be addressed to
the German-Americans until a special
, occasion arises. This Is understood
to mean Bryan will wait until Ger

Germany rejects the demands ma!-

It Is true that at the time of th.t
