Is TAKING CRISIS CALMLY
Special By United Press Wire.


Washington, July 13:-President
Wilson probably will return to
Washington the latter part of this
week, Secretary Tumulty said to-
day. This, he added, was guess"
but he spoke so confidently that it
was believed he based 1t on pretty
definite information.
The expectation was that nothing
positive would be given out until the
President is actually back in the
White House.
Secretary Lansing was keeping his
own council today concerning the
nature of the reply he was framing
to the latest note from Berlin.
So far as could be learned he had
not taken a single person into his
confidence. He WAS quite as reti-
cent in facts, as the President him
self, always has been under similar
circumstances.
Two Messages to Be Ready.
Indications were that when the
chief executive returns from Cornish
two messages will be ready, the
Presidents and the Secretary's, con-
corning the details of which, no one
will have a particle of information
except their respective authors.
The two will be compared, the
President and Secretary Lansing
will talk them over, and one note or
the other, or compromise, or an en-
tirely new note will be agreed on.
Then the cabinet will be consulted.
Not to Visit Cornish
Secretary Tumulty's announce
n in in p
of all plans for Secretary of State
Lansing to visit Cornish.
When asked today if he was look
ing up any new law points in connec-
ton with the note. Secretary Lam
new points were presented This
strengthens the belief that the next
note would be practically a reitera-
ton of its predecessor so expressed
If possible as to leave Germany no
escape from a point blank reply.
AS public opinion has been inter
preted here in the last three days, 1t is
believed the country IS demanding two
things:
First.-The maintenance Of the
strong stand taken by the United
States on the Lusitania case and the
principle involved In the submarine Is
sue, but also
Second.-Keep the United States out
OF any conflict with Germany.
Seeking Public Opinion.
A study of editorial expression has
convinced officials that these two de-
mands on the part of the newspaper
commentors define the limits within
which the Administrations course must
be laid in writing the next note to Ger
many
1t is felt rather that the president
should simply reiterate emphatically
the adherence of this government to its
original position together with the
statement that the future course Of the
United States will have to depend on
the degree TO which American rights
are respected In German practices.
Those among Washington's public men
who have all along favored vigorous
action feel that the country Is divided
on the question and that 1t would be
fatal for the president to assume that
such Is no the case.
While there is unanimity OF opinion
as to the unacceptability of the Ger
man note and its proposals, the Ger
man view Of the situation is not en-
tirely obscured here. Count Won Bern
storff, the German ambassador has re-
turned to Washington and will proha-
bly, remain here until the president has
acted.
