WASHINGTON. ID. C.. June l.
President Wilson determined to-day
mat the United States must ascertain

Germany whether the imperial gov.
ernment intends I'm the future TO be
guided by the accepted principles OF
international law and the rights OF
neutrals. or TO follow its own rules
OF maritime warfare.
The President listened to a varied
expression OF opinion at a meeting
OF his cabinet, taking little part In
the discussion himself. Later he be.
gan the preparation OF a note TO be
dispatched before the end of the
week. embodying his own ideas and
what seemed 20 him the consensus OF
his Official family.
The verdict OF a majority of the
cabinet was that the German reply 10

doubted its facts and disclaimed all
blame for the destruction or the mer.
chantman with American lives. The
questions OF fact raised by Germany
were regarded as irrelevant at this
time. The trend OF opinion was that
the United States must inquire and
obtain an early answer as TO whether
Germany Intends TO recognize the
hitherto accepted principles that neu-
trails may travel anywhere on the
high seas on unarmed merchant ships
even IL carrying contraband-and
that merchantmen which do not re-
sist capture must be visited and
searched and the passengers and crew

Among the various dishes we may in stance the guinea heu, pheasant. night ingale and the thrush as birds most in repute. The Roman gOrmands he'd peacocks in great estimation, especially their tongues.
