President Wilson to Send Firm Note to Germany
Washington July 19 The President and Secretary Lansing deeply studied a draft note to Germany set to be sent this week. The communication will assert the United States rights on the high seas and state that America cannot remain passive after another attack on a neutral or American vessel. The note, nearly agreed, will be delivered to Berlin by Saturday with likely no broad changes in the principles of prior notes. The administration aims to outline definite actions while avoiding specific references to the Cunard incident or other recent attacks. The President is expected to present the final decision to Congress soon.
