garding Haiti Takes Long
Auto Ride Into Vermont

Cornish. H. H., June 2S.-Presdent
Wilson devoted several hours today to
the consideration Of the Mexican, the
European ana the I1aitien subjects,
He was in communication with Secre-
tary Lansing and other Washington
officials, There was no indication to-
night that any of the business brought
before him was Of such a pressing ma
ture as to take him hurriedly back to
Washington. but he is keeping himself
ready to leave here at any time.
The president let it be known that
he had outlined to Secretary Lansing
the policy TO be pursued toward Haiti
as % result Of the political and finan-
cial troubles which have shaken that
country for long time. What this
policy is was not disclosed by the
president hut II WAS understood that
further efforts would be made to
straighten out the finances of Haiti
through some arrangements similar to
the American colleetorship now in ef-
feet in the Dominican republic.
Mr. Wilson was Notified OF the ar
rest on the Mexican border OF General
Huerta, but the charges against the
former Mexican dictator and his
prosecution win be left to the depart
ment OF justice officials.
The president refused to make any
comment when shown reports that
state department dviees, from Berlin
indicated that Germany's reply TO the
last American nate on submarine war;
fare would be favorable.
After attending to pressing business

To assure the Imperial German gov

rest with n prize court TO determine

what reparation would be satisfactory

of June 7, that in the event the prize
court should not grant indemnity IN
accordance with the treaty require
ments tho German government would
not hesitate TO arrange for equitable
indemnity, but II IL also necessary
that the government of the United
states should be satisfied with the
amount Of the indemnity and II would
seem TO be more appropriate ana con-
venicnt that an arrangement for
equitable indemnity should be agreed
upon now. rather than later. The de-
clsion Of the prize court, even ON the
question of the amount Of indemnity
to be paid would not be binding or
conclusive on the government Of the
United states.
The government Of the United
States also dlsscnta from the view oX-
tt .Fa a
be no foundation for a claim OF the
American government unless the prize
court should not grant indemnity In
accordance with the treaty. The claim
presented by the American govern
mcnt is for an indemnity for a viola
ton OF a treaty In distinction from
an Indemnity In accordance with the
treaty and therefore is matter for
adjustment by direct diplomatic disoi-
ssion between the two governments
and is In no way dependent upon the
action of a German prize court.
For the reasons above stated, the
government OF the United States can
not recognize the proprleiy Of submit

FAVORABLE REPLY
FROM GERMANY
NOW PREDICTED
Ambassador Gerard Gables
That Note From Berlin viii.
Be Satisfactory on Lusi-
tania incident,

Washington, June 2S.-Favorable
reply from Germany to the last note
Of the United states concerning sub
marine warfare and the sinking Of
the Lusitania was predicted IN an Of
fetal dispatch from Ambassador Ger
ard, received today at the state de-
partment 1t was transmitted 20 Pres
ident Wilson ut Cornish, n. II.
While the ambassador did not at
tempt to outline the forthcoming
German note, he described the atmos-
phere in Berlin official quarters as
favorable 10 q satisfactory reply. He
referred TO the visit of DIR. Anton
Meyer Gerhard, the emissary If
Count Won Bernstorf, the German
ambassador, pointing out that the lat
ters information apparently had i'm
pressed the German government with
the idea that the United States did
not want war with Germany. but de-
sired satisfactory reply to her orig
inul demands.
Forecasts Correct.
The fact that Ambassador Gerard
took occasion TO predict informally
the nature of the reply was regarded
as significant In official quarters here
where II was pointed out that the
ambassadors forecasts I'm the past
had been conservative and consistent
Although it was not generally known
he gave the Washington government
to understand what would be con-
tanned i'm the last German note and
the text itself bore out his prediction
lnasmuch as the communication
which is under preparation In Berlin
Is said to have been scrutinized by
Emperor William as well as Chan
eellor Won Bethmann-llollweg and
other high officials, the belief pre-
walls that Ambassador Gerard would
not have made his deductions with
out awaiting information following
the consultations between the om-
poror and his advisers.
TO Protect Americans.
Ambassador Gerard understands
the German official purpose to be TO
make no concessions which will at
feet the use of the submarine as n
means of warning on the commerce
Of Great Britain but to propose some
way by which American lives and le-
Ultimate interests will be safcsuarded.
Officials have have no inkling as to
the methods by which this object is
to be attained, but from previous dis
patches from Berlin il is assumed that
an ARRANGEMENT will be suggested
whereby German submarines would
refrain entirely from attacks on ships
of any nationality primarily used for
passenger travel, while continuing to
wage vigorous warfare on enemy
ships devoted chiefly to the trans
poftation Of contraband.
Theory Not Disclosed.
