NOTE T KAISER T0 GO BEFORE CABINET TODAY Bryan Refuses to Say Whether the President Had Given Him Re- ply for Transmission to Berlin. WON'T DISCUSS IT AT ALL Lansing Says Reply Will Not Be Transmitted to Berlin Before Morning. BRYAN AND WILSON CONFEEI " muLLeTiN, WASHINGTON, June 7.-—Counsel- Tor Lansing of the State department made the positive statement today that the note to Germany will not go forward tonight. It is understood it will go before the cabinet again to- morrow. BULLETIN, WASHINGTON, June 7.~—Secre- fary Bryan had a conference with President Wilson at noon today and is understood to have gone over the final draft of the German note with him, After leaving the president Mr. Bryan refused to say whether the president had given him the note for transmission to Berlin and would not discuss it in any way. WASHINGTON, June 6.—Presi- dent Wilson's note to Germany will be cabled to Ambassador Gerard late tonight or early Tuesday morn- ing, acording to word from the White House last night. The only reason for the delay, it was said, was the president’s desire to make the phraseology of the note so explicit and unmistakable as to leave no room for doubt or further argument concerning the position of the United States government—that the righ tof search must be exercised and passengers and crew of unarmed ships on which neutrals are voyaging transferred to a place of safety be- fore any prize is destroyed by a bel- ligerent warship, e Officlals famillar with the contents of reltera- the note sald it was a forceful expressed by the mal!\mm ed that It could not admit the ¥ight | zone to infringe in any way upon the right of neutrals to travel any- ‘where on the high seas on peaceful mer- chantmen and that the German govern- ment would be hel to a “strict accounta- bility’” for any violations of American rights. In German quarters the optimism which has been apparent since Count von Bern- storff, the German ambassador, talked with President Wilson continued today, the impression being given that the road to an understanding was gunuch clearer than it had been since the Lusitania was destroyed. ‘The belief constantly is expressed in German quarters that the crisis over the Lusitanla case has passed. It frequently is pointed out, too, that the present cor- respondence over neutral rights may lead to a discussion of the general subject of the fredom of the secas and some German officials have suggested that out of the exchanges of notes with Germany, fol- lowed by further correspondence with Great Britain on neutral rights, the way may be opened oven to the makng of peace.

The Zeppelin was flying comparatively low, began to mount at once, but the British wasp was speedier and climbed into the air in long spirals, reaching a position at length over the German's vast | bulk. From this point of vantage Warne- ford plerced the Zeppelin's shell re- peatedly with his incendiary bombs. Story Without Parallel.

Home Secretary Simon moved the seo- ond reading of the bill creating a ministry of munitions, Ile explained that the new department would concern itself with the supply of munitions, but that the fighting department would determine the nature, extept and urgency of their needs.

R, Pringle |lboral member of the northwest division of Lanarkshire, advanced the argument that the bill gave the new minister unlimited power. He ‘was virtusly a dictator, and to supply munitions, he could, if necessary, take the most radical steps in the coal fields.
