Neither will be limited to any par
ticular field, according to officers in
touch with the navy secretary's plans,
but it was acknowledged that he re-
CARDS the submarine and the aeroplane
as the two things calculated to play
the most important part in the sea
warfare of the future and is especially
desirous that they receive the most
thorough attention by the new board.
Edison's formal acceptance of a
place in the bureau, already announced
from West Orange, N. j., has reached
Secretary Daniels.
Concerning the balance OF the bu.
reaus personnel, it was said the sec
rotary will consult Edison himself.

the latter was not known until the
fact was made public that Mr.. Edison
would accept, but the suggestion for
the board was made some time ago.
Secretary Daniels appealed to Mr.. Edi-
son to head the proposed bureau on
patriotic grounds.

BEFORE CABINET.
VIEWS ON GERMAN ANSWER
Emphasis Laid by Officials on the Fact
That Issues Involved Are Seri-

tire Field of Law.

Washington, July 15.-The first off,
cial announcement of the immediate
plans of President Wilson for dealing
with the situation that has arisen be-
tween Germany and the United States
came in telegram from Cornish, n.
H., to Secretary Tumulty, stating that
the President would return to Wash
ington soon to lay the entire subject
before his cabinet 1t indicated that
the President had not yet arrived at a
decision as to the policy of the gov
ernment
The White House statement was as
follows:
Referring to statements appearing
In certain morning newspapers with
reference to the attitude of the Presi-
dent toward the reply of the German
government, Secretary Tumulty this
evening gave out the following tele-
gram which he had received from the
President:
Promises Prompt Action.
Please say that from the moment
Of the arrival Of the official text of the
German note | have given the matter
the closest attention, keeping con-
stantly in touch with the secretary Of
state and with every source that would
throw light on the situation; that so
soon as the secretary of state and I
have maturely considered the situa-
ton, shall go to Washington to get
into norcouaI conforopno uyitb hin, and
with the cabinet and that there will be
as prompt an announcement as possi-
Bile of the purposes of the govern
ment.'"
The statement set at rest reports
that the President already had made
up his mind on the German reply and
that he did not view the situation as
seriously as did other high officials at
Washington. Official opinion here con-
tinued to regard the situation as grave.
Secretary Lansing and other members
of the cabinet hold this view but are
giving no intimation of how they
think the problem should be dealt with
Mr.. Lansing and his assistants have
been canvassing the entire field of law
and policy presented by the German
note, and the President already had
received some of the memoranda bear.

Seriousness of Issues.
The statement from the White
House made it apparent that the Pres.
ident has abandoned the idea of sum,
moning Mr.. Lansing to the summei
capitol. This program conforms to the
secretary's desire to study the prob
lem and form his own conclusions be
fore exchanging views with the Presi
dent. 1t is assumed, however, that Mr.
Wilson will return here the last of tn,
week and that the subject will be laid
before the cabinet next Tuesday.
Emphasis has been laid by official,
on the fact that the issues involved
are of such seriousness and importance
that consideration for week or more
