u. S. TO REJECT

BERLIN PROPOSAL Lansing Starts Work on Note Expected to Stand Firm for Sea Rights. WILSON TO DECIDE POLICY Envoy Von BernstortT. in Thorough Accord With Mia Government. Ar ränge for Conference With U. S. Secretary of State. Berlin. July 13 (erinany is w illing to make further proposals to safei guard American travelers in the " war I zone." according to the foreign office, j She will not abandon her submarine I policy, but she will consent to placing several great German liners under the American fla. for the remainder of the war. in addition to granting inini unity from submarine attacks to four Engllsh liners, as proposed in her latest note to Washington Washington. July 13. Work has been begun by Secretary Lan&ing on t!.e draft at a note to he Rent to the German government expressing the attitude which tbe I'nited States will take toward Germany's submarine warfare, as it auects the rights of neutrals. When It is completed there will be a consultation between Secretary Lansing and President Wilson, who will decide the policy to be pursued There Is every indication in official quarters that the relations between Germany and the United States have became so strained as to make It necessary to weigh carefully the phraseology of the next communication and to measure fully the responsibility and consequences which may be required by its contents. Will Maintain Ame-tcan Rights. That there is to be no surrender of American rights In the new note Is practically certain, according to the view taken by officials thus far. and It Is also assured that the German pro pesaia for the Immunity of American passenger ships not carrying contraband will be rejected., Germany's failure to disavow the sinking of the Lusitania. with the loss of American lives, has brought the situation to a grave and critical point. It had been arranged that Secretary Lans.ng would eo to Cornish. N. H., for a cor.erence with the president as soon as the note had been carefully examined here and the secretary had prepared a draft of the note. It may be. however, that the president will decide to return to Washington instead, and some announcement on the subject was be lieved to be likely later in the day. Bernstorff to See Lansing. Count von. Uernstorff. the German ambassador here, will call on Secretary Lansing in a day or two to learn informally the attitude of the United States toward the German reply. It Is understood that he has asked for an engagement to discuss the situation and la to be received by the secretary Jurt as soon as the latter hss examined the note carefully and made up his mind on what policy should be pursued. So far as in known, the German ambassador will make his call without specific instructions from his government, merely following the custom of diplomats when notes have been exchanged to learn the attitude of the recipient government and what may be expected as the next step in the correspondence. That there are to be no informal negotiations, however, on the subjoct has been made plain, and the ambassador's call very probably will partake more of the nature of a call for information rather than discussion. The ambassador Is understood to be in thorough accord with his government on the reply, which he regards as satisfactory and as lending its. If to further negotiations. ANXIETY SHOWN IN ENGLAND London Newspapers Reiterate Their Caustic Comment on Germany's Reply to President's Note. London. July 13. That abandonment by the I'nited States of Its demands upon Germany would cause a break In the friendship between England and America is the declaration made by the Evening Standard In an editorial Other papers reiterate their causttc comment upon the German reply to President Wilson's note, declaring It as "Impudent" and the con chitons it offers as "idiotic." The Impression In British official circles It that the United States will carry on no more diplomatic correrpor.Vnee with Germany over submarine warfare, but will stand by Its demands and h-eak off relations If the Germans commit any act which the Washington government regards aa violating them.
