Is Not as Apprehensive of the Result as Minor
Officials
IT PROBABLE HOWEVER, THAT THE NEXT NOTE WILL CONTAIN DEFINITE ANNOUNCE
MENT OF AMERICAN INTENTIONS

Washington, July 1.-THE first Of
fetal announcement of President Will
sons plans for dealing with the sit
uation between Germany and the
United States came last night in a
telegram from Cornish, N H., to Sec
retary Tumulty, saying that Presi-
dent Wilson would return to Washing
ton soon and lay the entire subject
before his cabinet.
The message indicated that the
president had not yet arrived at de-
cision as to the American policy. Sec
retary Tumulty made public the text
of the telegram, which set at rest the
reports that the president had already
made up his mind on the German re-
ply and that he did not view the sit
uation as seriously as high officials at
Washington.
So far as can be gathered here, the
president will find his advisers prac-
tically unanimous in the belief that
the crucial point in the correspon-
dence with Germany, over submarine
warfare has arrived and that the next
note must convey more or less point
edly the purposes of the United
States in the event of further viola
tions of American rights in the war
zone.

BALKANS HANG IN THE BAL

SN shells were hrcd yesterday from the

was recorded. according to the Naval
Committee Representative Britten eN-
pressed the opinion that this shell. which
nit the san Marcos, a vessel used as a
target, would have destroyed any naval
ship afioat.
1t is the opinion OF Mr. Britten and
other members OF the Naval COmmitte.
that the shell when perfected will prove
one OF the most destructive agencies OF
warfare. Mr.. Britten believes the Gov
eminent should provide funds for the fur
ther experimentation OF the shell. When
the naval appropriation bill comes up in
the House he will offer such an amend
ment providing also for exclusive pur-
chase and use by this Government.
Rear Admiral Fiske, chairman OF the
board which is investigating tho Ishan

Mr.. Isham has for n long time claimed
great things for his shell and has scvcra
times attacked Navy Department officials
