GERMANY ASKS
FOR CONCESSIONS
Note Outlined to Ambassador
General al Berlin.
DRAFT SUBMITTED AND SENT TO
PRESIDENT WILSON
Details Not Given Out, But 1t Is Be.
lieved Reply is Unsatisfactory to
President.

Washington Germany has sub
mitted informally to the United States
through Ambassador Gerard in Ber-
lin tentative draft of it's reply to
the note Of June which asked for
assurances that American rights ON
the high seas would not be further
violated by German submarine COM
manders. After careful examination
OF the contents of the proposed note
as outlined by Ambassador Garard,
which comedies with Berlin press dis
patches of the last few days, high Of
ficials are practically agreed that the
United States cannot without sacrf-
fic1ng important neutral rights ex-
press its approval of the German pro.
posals In their present form
President Advised.
The draft was shown to Ambassa-
dor Gerard with the idea of eliciting
from him an expression of opinion
and he promptly asked for instruc-
tions from Washington as to whether
the United States could make conces-
sions. President Wilson has been ad-
vised of the situation in several long
messages sent to his summer resi-
dence at Cornish, N H., and the inn
preston obtained Tuesday night from
reliable quarters was that the Ameri-
can government probably would in
struct Its ambassador within day or
two to decline to express any view
until after the formal reply is de-
livered to him
Proposals Not Given Out.
Just what Germany proposed has
not been officially divulged. Secre-
tary Lansing Tuesday took the posi-
tion that 1t would not be proper for
him to disclose Germany's position as
informally reported by Mr.. Gerard
without authorization from the ,Ber-
lin government. He stated merely
that there had been no exchange of
views or informal negotiations be-
tween Germany and the United
States.

A walkout on the part of certain classes
