GERARD NOT TO GET GERMAN
REPLY Until AFTER JULY 4
CARL w. ACKERMAN


Berlin, June 28:-The German
reply to the second American note
regarding the Lusitania will be
handed to Ambassador Gerard July
a, s. or 6. Because of July 4th cele-
brations in the United States the
foreign office deems it inadvtsable to
send Germany's answer before that
date
The tentative draft. outlined by
the United Press several days ago,
has not yet been approved by Grand
Admiral Won Tirpitz. But the reply,
| was assured by high official here
today, will take form ito which no
one in America can make obJec-
tons"
1t is understood that Germany
will make an important suggestion
in her answer suggestion of such
a nature that if President Wilson
accepts 1t the German-American con-
troversy will be at an end. 1t Is
considered probable here that this
suggestion is the proposal that sub
marines will not attack unarmed
passenger ships carrying no contra
bands, provided they bear certain
distinguishing marks.

Life savers from Midland Beach,
S. l., rescued Harvey Wilson and
Frank Roberts, two prominent young

boat, owned by Mr. Wilson, capsizeE

The young men set off from Perth

were about ESQ yards off the Mid

The gale struck the small boat be-
fore its crew could haul down the
sail, and 1t went over easily, throw
ing its two occupants into the water.
People on the beach witnessed the
accident and the life savers hastily
put out after the youths. Although
both could swim they were handi-
capped by heavy clothing and would
probably have drowned had they not
been pulled in by the guards
Roberts and Wilson were taken to
teh shore, where they were kindly
treated by the campers. Both were
exhausted and suffering somewhat
from the exposure. They were given
dry clothing and food
Mr.. Wilson remained in Staten
Island today, and this afternoon he
will supervise the search for the
boat, which sunk after overturning.
