Washington, June 11.-Secretary
anspg today made the announce
ent that the state department had
nj copy of the United States note
germany to the British embassy.
A. the same time, it was announc-
that the new note which the
lifted states is to send to Great
titain is about ready.
In the note to Germany, the United
|ates offers to act as medium
any representations Germany
Nv desire 10 make to. Great Britain
the subject of Great Britain's
od blockade, of which both Ger
hpy and the United States CON-
bin, and in the note to Great
titan the United States will offer
act as the medium for any repre-
nations which Great Britain may
hire to make to Germany about the
aracter of her submarine warfare,
which both Great Britain and the
lifted States complain.
b. way is thus being paved for
United States to act as friendly
ermediary for both countries,
b q view of bringing both once
lie within the pale of international
and restoring them to the good
nion Of neutral nations.
piplomatists today discussed the
pbable reply of Germany TO the
est note of the United States. 1t
believed Germany will lrespond in
friendly spirit and will endeavor to
forward some practical sugges-
rs.
Il thought Germany will ask
United States and Great Britain,
|ough the United States. to agree
the separation of contraband of
from passenger traffic.
Germany, it is expected, will sug-
to the United States that Great
saln cease her alleged practice of
llag merchantmen, both passen-
and freight, and also cease CIV
them orders to ram German sub
tines.
ne is further expected to suggest
Dotn the United States and Great
'aln that they agree to enforce
rights OF neutrals to DEAF in food
s for German consumption.
What Germany Will DO.
s'many, 1t is said. in return for
agreements, would abstain aD-
Wy from destroying any I'M
~ merchantment of any nation
would comply with the law of
aua search if she were assured
no British ship would masquer-
A - a vessel of commerce when,
W.T. a vessel of war, able to de-
a submarine.
aefe is no one here who will ven
