QUICK ACTION IN BERLIN WILL BE CALLED FOR By Samuel M. Williams. (Staff Correspondent of The Evening Werld.) WASHINGTON, May 31.—Germany’s evasive reply to President & a Bae a does not give satisfaction to the highest offftial circles in Washington Although to-day is a holiday, with all departments closed and baedly Phere of the capital and the first expressions of opinion of officials give - ception, , y To use some of the terms employed, the note is called “quibbfing,”* “trifling,” “evasive.” It is declared to avoid the main issue and to be an: “attempt to lead into paths of prolonged controversy.” While no definite forecast Is made in official quarters as te what the President will say and do, It is pretty generally under- stood that the first thing to happen will be thin: A prompt, plain worded note to Germany will be drafted by President Wilvon and read before the Cabinet at its regular to-morrow morning. The answer may go to Germany in 48 hears, This note will reflect the public sentiment of the country, which already has indicated its impatience with German diplomacy, and convey the views of the President and his Cabinet on the note, An analysis made to-day by high authority puts the situation as follows: TWO COURSES OPEN TO THE PRESIDENT. There are two courses open to the American Government, Ongtis to aceept the Ger.nan note just feceived and enter upon Prolonged as- gument over details that will drag out all summer in diplomatic ¢or- respondence without any definite determination, The second course is for this Government to brush aside all the technical points raised in the German note and stick to the main issues, which were set forth in the President's previous communication, It was said that in law courts it sometimes happens that a will say: "These are dilatory tacties” and sweep the proceedings aside in order to get down to the principal questions at issue, Similar come ditions are held to prevail in connection with Germany's latest attempt at diplomacy. It avoids the main question and dodges the issues, Those who know heat the workings of the President's mind in me doubt a» to which ome of these courses he will set forth hie views dectelvely in bie previews mate te lowing the sinking of the Lusitania, there Is very small of bis swerving im the least from the line of action therein out He is exported to relterate bis request for a clear ond declaration of German pulley toward submarine wartare and poor tection of neutrals on the sea, jie Phe questions raised Wy Herr vou Jagow about the Lastitenia wong armed and carrying explosiv © considered attempts to evade Wility In official circles 1 te sald that the President was in poamesion of all the facts aby laiitanle Wetore be eout bie fret note, so that he apebe with knowledee of bie ground TESTS MADE IN EXPLODING CARTRIDGES, The Lusitania did carry cartridees, UL the presence of these @inee om wonrd G14 wot vieiele (ue lew regarding carrring of explosives om pageeme ee! whips nut G14 (hey cause any interior explosion after the torpede streak, Official teste made evme yours aao proved that cartridges in eases Seeae ii. te exploded even when fred int by rifle bullets, tn German diplomatic circles in Washington the charse made ty von m Save that the Lasiaule had cannon aboard which wore mounted eu@ decks le elated to le tased upon wvidenee (hat thane ware h euke orked ine ecetet feom. ready to be brought out mountings Constructed (or them at the time the ship wag It te admitted (hat the Lusitania had se pune in sight whes ahe but the Germans maintain that « craft (an be considered armed the lorked up somewhere down valow ‘This German claim te based on the alleged tewtimony of « lormer — tormariet of the Lvetianie, whe claimed to have known of the ‘the gene 004 volunteered it to (he Kalser's representatives in smerian Thet Germany and the United Mates will reach « peaceable te the eneheben belie’ of Germans to the settonal capital q The German Am'monator, Count Von Kerastort, declined to @laruns ws German pote, at he called on Kecretary of Mate Bryan ot 11 ocho, Betore recetving the teat of the German note Provident Wilson
