WASHINGTON. July 10. Secretary-
LnnsliiK will tnlo tho Gorman
noto to 'President "Wilson nt Cornish,
N. 11., as noon iib tho official text ar
rives. Tho president will then dccldo
when ho will return to Washington.
Tho president conferred with Secre
tary Tumulty at noon today and ask
ed that Secretary Lansing bring tho
note to lilni.
Although tho official text of Ger
many's noto on Bubmarlno wnrfaro
had not reached hero early today,
tho press copy which was read by offi
cials as verification that Germany
had refused to glvo tho United States
tho assuranco ashed for In tho Amer
ican noto of Juno 9.
Kverywhcro In tho official quar
ters tho character of tho reply was
discussed along tho probahlo action
that tho United States would bo com
pelled to tnko as a result of Ger
many's unwillingness to concedo to
Americans tho right to travel on tho
high seas In poaccful merchantmen
of any nationality.
.May Sever notations
Tlio'e hi official quarters familiar
with diplomatic precedents and tho
progressive dovelopmcnt of tho Amor
Iran attitude believed that having
stated Its position and asked for as
surances which now havo been ro
fuscd, tho only courso loft open for
tho United States seemed to bo an
announcement that it Intondod to as
port Its rlglit established under tho
ruloH of International law. This
would mean In effect that the United
Status would nwnlt n violation by
Gormnny boforo taking action to com
pol respect for tho rights nssortod.
Thoro was n revival of talk con
cerning tho sovoranco of diplomatic
rotations.
Gormnny's completo evasion of lia
bility for tho loss of Americans on
tho Lusltnnln has revived tho subjoct
most acutely, according to woll In
formed persons.
Answer Is Analyzed
Analyzing tho Gorman answer to
day, offlclnls found llttlo on which
It nppearod that tho negotiations
oonld bo furthor prolonged. Tho
United Slates had devoted Its atten
tion to tho prlnclplo that Americans
should bo nblo to travel on tho high
Fcas on unarmed nnd unresisting bol
llgoront merchant ships of any na
tionality In accordanco with previous
ly rocognUud principles of Interna

nuked that boforo any destruction
would bo nttomptod tho visit nnd
Bourch of peaceful vessols nnd tho
transfer of passongors nnd crow to a
placo of safoty would bo nccompllsh
od. It was recognized that Germany
in Its latent noto had Ignored this
vital question.

the Morgen Post today says:
"Tho, answer in every way is

ingness to lessen the feurfulnoss of

right with to livo in peneo with

tithe of Germany's rights. Thu ans
wer clearly shows Hint tho responsi
bility for tho form of Kiibmarino wnr

Tho Morgon Post quotes the Amer
ican noto whoro it declares that the
government of tho United Stutos onn
nnt admit that tlio proclamation of a
war zone from which neutral ships
have been warned to keep away may
be made to operate as in any degree
an abbreviation of the tights either of

"This wnw n point on which Amor

be pointed out that this diffarouco of

the new German note, but that rather
it still exiiU in its essential feat
