WASHINGTON, D. c., July 11@
The situation between Germany and
the United States has taken on such
serious and critical character that
the policy Of the American Govern
ment will require lengthy consid.
Grafton that It may have the hrmnesa
which circumstances require.
This was the statement made today
in high official quarters. Secretary
Lansing after taking several days TO
examine the German reply may not
go to Cornish after all to confer with
President Wilson.
The original plan, 1t was explained,
was for the President and Mr.. Lang.
ing TO confer and then to have the
secretary Of state draft note to be
submitted to the cabinet on the Prest-
dents return to Washington.
Now the belief is that the President
and Mr.. Lansing, working indepen.
dently. will prepare memoranda and
confer after their ideas have matured,
A definite announcement is expected
later on whether Mr.. Lansing viii sc
to Cornish.
Count Won BernStorff. the German
ambassador, has asked Secretary
Lansing If he wished to see him, ana
the Secretary is understood to have
rerlied that he does after he has care
fully examined the situation. The am
bsssador is seeking information en
the attitude Of the American govern
ment toward the. reply,
After Mr. Lansing has consulted
President Wilson, It 10 not unlikely
that some intimation. Will be given the
German ambassador Of the serious,
ness with which the United States
government regards the crisis.
Secretary Lansing has begun work-
on a draft OF reply to Germany, but
has not given anyone the slightest
inkling of his vievU. Such intinfa,
tions as have been received from the
White House as well as the State De.
partment point to the framing Of Q
policy which will express even moro
emphatically than before the views
OF the United States, and the belief
is growing that the next note may II.
clude some idea Of the intention Of
the government II It's demands are not
met. The general comment In execu-
tive quarters today was that the next
American note would define the posi-
ton OF the United States even more
clearly so that Germany's subsequent
acts would definitely determine wheth,
er diplomatic relations be continued.

Harry X. Thaw expressed the belief
Yesterday that today marks the be-
ginning Of his last week in jail and
before another Sunday he will see his
home in Pittsburgh. where he has not
been in more than nine years. That
may be one reason why he did not
leave Ludlow Street jail yesterday and
will not leave 1t today.
Having dined at the Waldorf Thurs
day night and at the B!ltmore Friday
night, Thaw was content to take his
meals yesterday in the jail. although
Sheriff Grifenhagen has an order from
Justice Hendrick to take Thaw to din
ner anywhere he wants to go, II the
sheriff thinks II wise TO do so.
Thaw suggested an automobile ride
yesterday afternoon. but the sherin
thought this was neither necessary
nor wise. and Thaw agreed that per
haps he could wait few days.
Il won't be around here more than
a few days. anyway" he said. with a
laugh.
II he is released, as ne and his law
yers and friends confidently believe
he will be, Thaw will not stay in this
city very long. according to present
plans. He and his mother expect to
depart for Pittsburgh within forty
eight hours after he gains his free
dom. After spending few days there
they will go TO the Pacific Ex-
position at San Francisco and will re-
main in the west a considerable time.
Significance is attached by those
conversant with the Thaw affairs to
the failure of.Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
to appear. Her fear OF Thaw being
released is said by some Of her init.
