most momentuous since the civil war,
President Wilson and his advisers to.
day practically determined America s
future attitude toward Germany.
For nearly two hours the president
and the members Of his ministry went
over and over the note drafted by
Secretary Lansing in answer to the
Berlin foreign Offices last rejection OF
Americas demand for humanitarian
modification Of Germany's submarine
i, warfare.
Commerce Secretary Redfeld was
the only absentee.
| The conferences gravity was eTi.

by the president and his advisers left
no doubt on this point.
Before the meeting, the chief execu-
tive and Secretary Lansing had an
| hours private talk at the white house,
looking over the rough draft of the
note preliminary to its submission to
the cabinet.

wAsHINGTOrl, July 20-German-
American relations hung in the bal
ance today. A tentative draft OF the
reply to Germany's last note was be-
fore President Wilson and his cabi-
net.
"Friendly, but firm and final" was
how the note was characterized by a
high administration official. After
revision and perfection, 1t will be ap-
proved at next Fridays cabinet meet
ing. Actual physical transmission
may be delayed until early next week.
Word came di. cctly from President
Wilson depreciating speculation con-
cerning the notes contents. There
was q good deal of 1t. nevertheless.
1t was accepted that the communica-
ffen would declare clearly and un.
;eqtiivocaIly that America was to main
tain its rights. Also It was said 1t
will express surprise and regret
that Germany cannot accept in its
under sea operations, Americas
broad humanitarian view concerning
the warning and search cf vessels be
fore torpedo attacks.
The state department awaited off,
cial confirmation Of the reported at
tack upon the Cunarder Ordura. At
the British embassy 1t was indicated
that the British government might
lay the matter formally before the
state department. 1t was said that
affidavits of passengers and crew
will be secured Unless fully authenti-
rafod io1 1c Soma d0,,t
as to the reliability of reports, 1t ap-
peared unlikely that any reference to
the Orduna would be made in the
note.
Despite the importance Of today 5
meeting, several cabinet members
We're absent. The president and
Secretary Lansing, however, were
largely handling the diplomatic situ-
alton alone.

WASHINGTON. July 20.-The state

Summer Resort Folks Along the Maine Coast Tell
of Their Suspicious That German Under
Sea Boats are in That Vicinity.
THE REPORT IS BEING INVESTIGATED
Story is Rather Doubtful, But Nevertheless Navy
Department Has Thought it Possibil-
ity For Some Time.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels said
there was no doubt submarines can
cross the Atlantic. There was moth
ing officially before him. but 1t was
known that naval officers had re-
ceived hint to keep the matter In
mind and report promptly any evi-
dences of the reports truth.
In naval circles 1t was said It had
been believed for some time that Ger
many planned establishing q subma.
rine base In American waters. but
that officers did not believe it had
done SO yet. 1t was also their opin-
ion that the Carribsan. rather than
the north Atlantic, was the zone the
kaiser had in view.
