US to define note on German submarine policy
Washington July 16 and the culminating wording of a new note on Germany's refusal to meet American demands after the Lusitania sinking will be set by President Wilson next Tuesday. Drafts prepared will be discussed with Secretary Lansing Monday and then presented to the cabinet. Officials expect the United States to assert its rights on the high seas without broad discussion of principles and reject mediation. Count Von Bernstorff claimed Germany could mediate but officials say prior failure discourages a repeat effort unless urged by belligerents. The ambassador met Lansing, reported to Berlin, and expressed confidence no rupture is imminent, noting German submarines have shown caution and that attacks without warning are unlikely.
