WASHINGTON, July 23.—President Wilson expects no cris arise over the note to Germany which will be made public to-night. s to He | has arranged to leave Washington within twenty-four hours to renew ) | his holiday in Cornish, N. H. It is doubtful whether there will be any definite developments from the submarine ‘controversy for time, Apparently a diplomatic impasse has been reached and each side will continue to stand its own ground. Intimation is given in German diplomatic circles that no answer need be expected for an indefinite time. In the meantime the German submarine commanders will take scrupulous care not to attack American ships in order to avoid giving fresh cause of offense. The uncertain phase is English passenger ships carrying American passengers. It is _ understood that submarines will attempt to stop them and give the pas- sengers a chance for the boats before torpedoing.
