is that the case Of the United States a s set forth in its note to Germany should be disposed of irrespective of any contem- plated move with regard to the allies. The idea prevailing in some quarters that representations to the allies might influ- ence the character of the German reply is not shared, it is said. by the Presi- dent, who is understood to hold that the German government naturally should have confidence that the United States would do it's utmost to safeguard its rights in all cases.
 Prompt Action Necessary
 The controversy between the United States and Germany, it was pointed out, involves the safety of the lives of Amer jean citizens at sea and necessitates prompt understanding. Questions of prop erty raised by the issues over contraband as between the United States and Great Britain require more time to collect data and no lives are endangered by delays
 Secretary Bryan said today that "no inn mediate answer" was expected from Ger many to the recent American vote.
 The German government is occupied just now with the Austro-I Italian crisis, and at best its reply will require sever al days of preparation.
 Government officials cleared up a mis- apprehension that has existed in many quarters as to the extent to which the American note insists upon restriction of the activities of the German sub marines. The idea that complete aban- donment of the submarine as commerce destroyer is asked for, is incorrect, il was stated. The United States pointed out it's objections generally to the present method of conducting submarine warfare and the difficulties of exercising visit and search, but officials explain that the lega rights of the United States only exteno to the safety of Americans on board bel ligerent ships. Should Germany return 10 the practice of torpedoing merchants men after giving them warning and time 10 save all members of the crew, ground for objection here, it is admitted, would be for the most part removed. Prior to the drowning of Leon C. Thresher when the British steamer Falaba was torpedoed on March 2S, no American lives were lost and the German submarine commanders sank scores of ships.
 Report Not Confirmed
 Reports that Germany had decided to suspend submarine attacks on merchant men were not confirmed today at either the German or Austrian embassies or the state department. Today two British ships were torpedoed.
 In anticipation of the report that Ger many would point to the carrying of arms and ammunition aboard the Lusitania as violation of American statutes, it was learned today, officials of the state de- partment consulted the department oi commerce before the note of May 1o was completed. The rulings and opinions oi legal officers of the government as late as 19l1 it was found. construed the statutes as applying to self-exploding material and not to small arms and am munition.
