COUNT VoN BERNSTORFF
 TO VISIT PRESIDENT TODAY.
Declined to State Last Night What He
 Proposed to Discuss.

Washington. June 1. - Tomorrow Count Won Bernstorff, the German ambassador will call on President Will son. The ambassador requested the Interview. It will be his first visit since he returned from Germany after the European war began. He declined to say tonight what he proposed to discuss, but revealed that his action was taken without instruction from his government. In well informed quarters the belief was expressed that while the ambassadors visit might not affect the forthcoming note, what the president might say informally to the ambassador would be transmitted to the German government and be taken into consideration when the American communication is received in Berlin. It was thought likely that MT. Wilson would seek to impress upon the am- bassador the earnest intention and unvarying determination of the United States to obtain an accountability for past violations of its rights by the German navy and guarantee against their repetition.

UNCERTAINTY OVER
 SHERMAN ANTITRUST ACT.
Obstacle in Way of Expanding Bus
 mess With South America.

Boston, June 1.-Uncertainty over the application o fthe Sherman antitrust act to combinations formed to promote export trade is one of the princopal obstacles in the way of expanding business with South American coun- tries, in the opinion of New England merchants, expressed at a conference with the federal trade commission to- day.
 After several speakers had em- phastzed this statement, some urging that the act be amended, Joseph E. Davies. of Wisconsin, chairman of the commission, stated that with both the leading political parties committed to the spirit of the Sherman law, he thought 1t unlikely that congress would be willing to make any change that might affect domestic trade. Suc- ceeding speakers then pressed the ex- pediency of changing the act so as to differentiate between it's application to foreign and domestic trade.

A New Mexican
 Policy Adopted
BY PRESIDENT WILSON AND HIS
 CABINET.
RELIEF OF MILLIONS
Purpose Is Said to Be to Give Rec ognition to a Coalition of the Best Interests and Place an Embargo on Munitions for All Other Factions.

Washington, June 1-President Will son and his cabinet today adopted a new policy to be pursued by the United States toward Mexico. It has for it's object restoration of order and the re- lief of millions of -combatants from the devastations of Mexico's mill ltary elements which have brought about conditions described as intolera- ble.
 Mexican Factions to Be Warned.
 The president read to the cabinet a statement which is to be communicat- ed tomorrow to the leaders of all Mex 1can factors, serving notice that unless they, themselves, compose the situa- ton some other means will be found by the United States to bring about the establishment of a stable govern ment in the republic. The statement was approved after prolonged discus sion. It will be made public tomor- row.
 Course to Be Pursued Not Outlined.
 The specific course the United States will pursue in the event the contending factions fail to agree is not outlined in the presidents statement, but the administration present pur- pose is to give moral support to a coalition of the best clements in Mexi- co anu accord the government thereby created formal recognition. With such l0COSlllllOn WOulu come an eI1lDdrRO on arms permitting the constituted gov ernment to receive munitions of war to the exclusion of all other elements and factions.
 Coalition Government Desired.
 Tit the governments policy if un- successful in this course might re- quire intervention ultimately has been considered and the intention to insist on a settlement has not been swayed DV nOSSIhIR necessity nf GI1Ch action high executive quarters, however. con- fidence prevails that the expression of the American governments attitude will clear up misapprehensions as to it's intentions that have existed in Mexico and brings about the desired coalition government.
 Crops Failure, Industries Exhausted
 The administrators policy is the continuation of several weeks of con- ferences between the president and his official family. The return of Duval West. who spent three months per sonaIIy Investigating conditions in Mexico for the president was the de- ciding factor. He brought back re- ports showing that the food situation was serious, that the country chops had failed and industries were ex- hausted, that the soil had not been titled for lack of cattle which had been slaughtered or exported for revenue, and that a terrible condition of affairs for the large masses of innocent non cOmbatants was ahead unless remedi- al measure were undertaken.

Dealing
 With Germany
PRESIDENT TO SEND NOTE BE-
 FORE END OF WEEK.
WANTS FINALANSWER
An UnfavorabIe Response to This Note Probably Will Result in a Severance of Diplomatic ReIations-Remains Firm in Stand on Lusitania.

Wilson determined today that the United States must ascertain definite ly and very promptly from Germany whether the imperial government in tends in the future to be guided by the accepted principles of international law and the rights of neutrals or to follow it's own rules of maritime war fare.
 The president listened to a varied expression of opinion at a meeting of his cabinet, taking little part in the discussion himself. Later he began the preparation of note to be des- patched before the end of this week embodying his own ideas and what seemed to him the consensus of his official family.
 German Note Unsatisfactory.
 The verdict of a majority of the cab inet was that the German reply to the American note following the sinking of the Iusitania was unresponsive and unsatisfactory, disregaTded the good will of the United States, doubted it's facts and disclaimed all blame for the destruction of the merchantmen with American lives. The questions of fact raised by Germany is regarded as ir- relevant at this time. The trend of opinion was that the United States must inquire and obtain an early an- swer as to whether Germany intends to recognize the hitherto accepted principle that neutrals may travel anywhere on the high seas on unarmed merchant ships, whether or not such vessels carry COntraband, and that merchantmen which do not resist cap tu-e must be visited and searched and the passengers and crew transferred to place of safety before the vessel is destroyed.
 Action in Case Of UnfaVorabIe Answer.
 An unfavorable answer to this in quiry would lead it was predicted in official quarters, to a severance of diplomatic relations on the ground that the United States could not continue intercourse with a government which repudiated these principles. Steps then would be taken to inform as a result of this action and such measures as necessary adopted to safeguard the lives and interests of citizens of the United States.
 Should Germany accept the princi- pie, in way that would constitute a guarantee for the future, and the American government would reiterate it's demand for a strict accountabil- lty" for violations of this principle and the killing of Americans in the torpe- doing without warning of the Lusi- tania.
