No Concession Made by Germany, Although De-

/, WASHINGTON, July 10.-President
Wilson faced tonight the hardest
problem his administration has en-
countered.
Secluded in his summer home at

mapping out Americas future policy
toward Germany.
The latest note from Berlin, al
though eloquent In protestations of
friendship for America, fatty rejected

manded 1t threw all disputed points
in connection with Germany's slbma-
rine warfare into complete deadlock.

after inspection by Secretary Lansing,
would not be made public. It was
also stated, however, that, so far as
decoded, only minor details differed
from the unofficial version cabled to
press associations from Berlin.
On no material point has Germany
made any concession. She stands
squarely on her declaration that her
submarine warfare was forced on her
by her enemies. She says her ma
tional existence depends on its con-
tinuance. She admits the desirability
Of protecting neutrals, but declares
she has promised already all she can
do in this connection.
