The charges filed covered ut least

A report has been asked from tha

It was learned authoritatively today
Hint Germany has also cited the flying
of other neutral flags by disguised

WHAT OEIIMANY WANTS
By Carl W. Ackerman.
(Tinted Press Staff Correspondent.)
Merlin, via The Hague, June 21.
Germany Intends to discuss with tie
I iiited Mutes several points covering
i. aval warfare before definitely slat
ing her future policy as to suhmurino
attacks,
The aeit note to Washington will
probably open this discussion, I lean
today. Framing the reply uf the im
perial government is still in the eon
. rsi. to, mil singe and there have been
no informal preliminary exchanges be
tween Ambassador Gerurd nail Foreign
Minister Von Jiignw. Tho kuiser is
still in Gulicia where he is expected
to remain until the successful conclu
sion of the campaign ngniust Lemberg.
This may mean that forwarding of tb
German answer may be delayed until
the kaiser returns to Iterlin, but I have
learned that lie may not confer with
! Iir. Meyer Gerhard, Ihe emissary of
( Ambassador Von llernstorf t, until lift
er the note now being framed is dis
patched lo Washington.
I This fa. I confirms reports which I
j have received that the reply to Presi
dent Wilson's rejoinder will not be fin
al, but will call for further exchange.
It is known that Von llernstorf f de
sires that the kaiser be given first
hand information of the position of the
'. American government and sentiment of
I the people. It is accepted, therefore,
'that the imperial government would
i not commit itself to any final declara
tion before Dr. Gerhard is heard, aad
since the ambassador 'a messenger may
not see the Tniser until after the nesr
