western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, June s. - President
Wilson read TO his Cabinet the draft
of note to be sent to Germany de-
manding in effect an adherence by
that nation to the humane principles
OF international law in the conduct OF
maritime warfare as affecting neu-
trails.
Comparatively brief, but described
as insistent and emphatic, the COM
munlcation will be cabled for pre-
sentation by Ambassador Gerard to
the German foreign minister. DR. Won
Jagow. The Cabinet approved the note
as n whole.
The principle is fixed and unalter-
able, that the United States must
know definitely and very promptly
whether Germany intends to ignore
visit and search rights and continue
her practice OF torpedoing vessels
without warning, placing the lives OF
non-combatants In jeopardy. or wheth-
er rules OF maritime warfare. which
have governed for centuries. will be
followed.
The alternative course Is not stated.
but It Is now generally known that the
United States in the event OF an un-
favorable reply will discontinue diplo-
matte relations with Germany and in
vite war.
The note sets aside as irrelevant all
the contentious OF the German reply
except one-whether the Lusitania
was armed-and re-stntes the posi-
tion taken by the United States pre-
yiously that the Lusitania. after OF
fetal investigation by competent In
spectors, smiled from an American port
with no guns aboard. either mounted
or unmounted II further calls Ger
many's attention to the fact that the
Lusitania did not attempt any resist

ment's warning.
