QUESTION NOW | UP TO KAISER Wilson Offers No Alterna- tive in Note Delivered to Berlin Today. ‘ WASHINGTON, June 10.—The eyes of the nat.on turngd anxiously toward Berlin today. President Wilson's latest 3 is expected to be delivered there this afternoon and upon/the position of the kaiser’s government hinges peace or war. Officials declare that even defiance by the imperial gov- ernment will not mean actual hostilities but there is not a single individual knowing the “inside” of the situation who | believes that diplomatic relations with Germany can be broken \off calmly, The recall of Ambassador Gerard would entail steps neces- sary to maintain the position of the United States, it is agreed. by Germany is admitted. President Wilson will rest his case both with Germany and in the \erisis brought about by the resignation of Secretary Bryan on his re _ \Joinder to Berlin. The president believes his note will justify the position taken en ineisting that American rights be recognized and respected. |Won’t Answer Bryan Statement Consequently there will be no answer to Bryan's statement giving |the reasons for his retirement. z It Is understood that President Wilson's position was that the kill- ing of Americans on the Lusitania was not what cansed the dispatch of the note of protest of May 13, but rather the method which caused zyme eayer original note of February 10 emphasized that Germany would be weld to “strict accountability” for the loss of American lives or injury suffered by American shipping. The president considered, duritg the discussions of the German |situation with the cabinet, that the German replies had not been re- sponsive. The rejoinder to which Bryan objected plainly say Upon the question of Germany observing American rights under | international law, the president “stands pat” in the note. No alterna» tive is offered Germany The note furnishes the facts concerning the Lusitania, it is um | derstood The German contentions that the Lusitania w rmed and carry- | ing munitions and reservists are disputed, but it is stated that the | note is of such nature that it does not antagonize Germany. |Fear Resignation Will Be Misunderstood President Wilson and his advisers are hopeful that Berlin will adopt a conciliatory attitude. Germany argued that her disregard a international law has been forced by legal activities” of the ene vnles. Rut the United States is asking that Germany respect American rights, not for an explanation of why these rights have been violated. Fear was expressed in official circles today that the resignation of Secretary Bryan will be misunderstod in Berlin. The withdrawal of the secretary because of his disagreement with the president to the German note is certain to stiffen the militar- ists of Germany, it is believed, A reply to the president's note is not expected for at least ten | days, | Meyer Gerhard, personal emissary of Ambassador Von Bernstorff, is due in Berlin later this week He is expected to inform the foreign office in detail of the posi- ion of this country, and ¢ * the fact that public sentiment is strong back of the president President Wilson wil) take no action to hurry a reply from Bertin. Ample time will be given for Gerhard to fulfill his mission, which was undertaken after Ambassador Von Bernstorff enlisted the aid of the state department in obtaining assurances from the allied powers that Gerhard would be permitted to reach Berlin without being molested. Wilson Now Plans Note to England While awaiting the German reply, ©) Ypident Wilson will consider a memorandum dealing with British interf@y oe with American trade. Bryan favored action demanding that ‘the allies protect neutral | rights as energetically as that taken against Germany. He favored such action after the German troubles solved. Pressure is now being brought to bear upon the president to act immediately Congressman Webb of North Carolina and other Southern mem- bers who have seen him lately believe a note will be forwarded within a fortnight. It will refuse to accept the British order in council, and will not recognize the allies’ undefined blockade of Germany. On the interfer- ence of commerce between neutral countries, the note will také a most positive stand. il had been | Are | You Going to Move Out for | the Summer? | ‘If you are going to the lake or sound or suburbs for the summer, consult The Star's classified ads to | find just the place that will suit you.
