GERMANY'S REPLY
TO AMERICAN NOTE

Government Officials do Not Try to
Hide Their Disappointment Over
Position of Kaiser.
LANSING WILL SEE WILSON
SoTurjr of State Will Go to Cor

Official Text of Reply Has Ihwi

ilnnf or Making Reparation.
WASHINGTON, July 10. Secretary
of State Lansing will go to Cornish
where he will meet President Wilson
as goon aa the official text of the new
German note has been received, It
was announced. The announcement
followed a long distance conversation
between the president and Mr. Tu
multy. After the conference Lansing
Will return to Washington to prepare
a tentative rejoinder If any Is decld
d on.
WASHINGTON, July 10. Ger
tunny'i reply to the American note
made public In Berlin last night la en
tirely unsatisfactory. Officials did
rot conceal this opinion today. The
situation Is fraught with dangerous
possibilities, they considered. , Tho
concensus of opinion Is the president
will reiterate demands for a recogni
tion of the rights of Americans trav
eling In safety on the high sens. Ask
ed whether they did not consider a
break In relations between the two
governments possible, those best
posted said they did not think so.
Comment In Washington Is to the
effect that while the note makes
counter proposals, they amount to
no conceptions, since Germany main
tains Americans are safe on neutral
ships but Implies they are safe on no
others. There Is no evidence In the
note that Germany purposes to make
reparation for the death of Ameri
cans on the LuBltanla,
If, while refusing to accept the
American position In principle, Ger
many refralna In practice from re
aumlnz submarine attacks upon ves
sels carrying Americans, It was agreed
the matter probably would continue
to drift along as at present. In case
another ship la torpedoed, however,
officials hesitate to predict the out
come. ITALIAN SCULPTOR VISITOR
