German submarines have overshadowed the Lusitania case itself, but there were indications today that the new German note would cause &’ veturn to the Lusi- tania case as a foremost lssue. The outline of the German note as ca- bled by Mr. Gerard Is known to be far from satisfactory to officia With re- apect to the sinking of the Lusitania, on which more than 100 Americans perished, no admission of labllity 1s made. ‘Whether in extenuation or not the view 18 expressed in the draft that when tor- poedoed it was not belleved the Lusitania would sink ‘as rapidly as it didr When They Would Be Safe. As for the future, citizens of the United States would be permitted to travel with safety on the high seas If passengers on American ships or on belligerent ships not.carrying munitions of war, The United States would be required to inform the German government of the ! date of the departure and character of | the vessel's cargo carrying Americans and guarantee that such ships had no munit- tions of war aboard. In this connection high officlals here #tated yestérday that it would be an un- heutral act for the United States to notify any belligerent government of the date of départure from an American port or the character of the cargo of a merchant- man of another belligerent. Count von Bernstorff, the German am- | bassador, was in communication by wire- less with his government during the day and is understood to have advised the Berlin forelgn office that the form In which the proposals had been made did | not appear to be acceptable to the United i States. i HAILSTONES USED TO 1 FREEZE ICE CREAM TECUMSEH, Neb., July 9-(Special)— A social entertalnment which is entirely novelty in Nebraal ‘n July, was held t the ome of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Higginson, north of Sterling, last even- |Ing.
