Cabinet Meets Today to Discuss
Answer to Gerlnany's Last
Note.
GREATEST SECRECY
IS MAINTAINED
''s &c.,
Communication will Be Couched
in Friendly Terms According
to Reports.

Washington, July 20.-Presdent
Wilson and his cabinet decided today
on the general principle of the note
to be sent to Germany within a few
days, renewing the efforts to attain
for American citizens protection OF
their rights on the high seas.
The President read to his official
family, assembled for the first time in
month, from draft answering the
German governments note Of July s.
which failed to grant the demands OF
the United States, growing out of the
sinking of the Lusitania.
Complete in Form.
The draft was complete in FORM On
it's character and purposes there was
unanimous agreement and Secretary
Lansing was at work tonight putting
in more precise language the ideas
set forth. He also conferred with the
President tonight at the White House.
Members of the cabinet generally
preserved secrecy regarding the prob
able contents Of tie communications
and the. President cautioned against
speculation in advance Of the .publtca'
tion of the document, lest mistaken
impressions be cabled abroad before
the actual text is received in Berlin.
a-N Not U!timatum. ,0'4.
Such information as was Obtainable
concerning the nature of the new note
was chiefly of a negative character.
Cabinet officers made it clear that it
would not be an ultimatum or make
any threats as to the future purposes
of the United States. At the same
time, they pointed out that it would
probably have an air of finality, cur
curtailing the field Of discussion and
negotiation and placing squarely on
Germany the responsibility for any
action that might subsequently en-
danger the friendly relations of the
two countries.
In Friendly Terms.
The communication will be couched
in friendly terms. although it will fol-
low the spirit of firmness that has
chara cterized previous notes.
Today's conference was dvotd 10
an extent to a discussion of what the
American people wanted the Wash
ington government to say and do in
(the present crisis So far as the cabi-
net officers could judge by their ex-
animation Of the public expression,
the nation had voiced az insistent &c
sire that the honor and dignity Of the
United States be upheld in the cor
respondence with Germany but that a
course should be followed that would
maintain peace. ... 1a

This unexpected development came
