Washington, July 1O.-"Disappoint-
ng but not alarming" was the view
privately expressed in administration
circles today with reference to the
German note. Stripped of it's argu-
incentive phrases the note holds out no
assurance for the safety Of Americans
IN ships such as the Lusitania. OFF,
cials read with interest the paragraph
stating that the presence OF Americans
on an enemy ship cannot protect it. Ii
Is not believed that the United States
will accept Germany's complicated
counter proposals. A plain yes or nc
answer regarding the rights of
Americans to travel on unarmed ships
is expected will be demanded from
Germany when the administration
frames the third note. .
Lansing will take the note to Cor
nish and confer with President Will
son at the.slatter's request.

fuse to comment pending some express

dition as the above ment. med Amer

ment believes it can assume that in
this manner adequate facilities for
travel across the Atlantic ocean can

would, therefore, appear to be no
compelling necessity for American n
citizens to travel to Europe in time
OF war on ships carrying an enemy

I'm particular the imperial govern
ment Is unable to admit that Ameri-

Germany merely followed Eng
lands example when she declared

Consequently, accidents suffered by
ncutrals on enemy ships in this area
OF war can not we'll be judged diff
ferently from accidents to which
neurals are at all times exposed at
the seat of war on land when they
betake themselves into dangerous To-

IT however, it should not be possi-
bic for the American government TO
acquire an adequate number Of neu-
trail passenger steamers the imperial
government is prepared to interpose
no objections to the placing under

assumption Of Liability.

Washington, July Carnival to-
night of press translation of the
German reply to the United States
submarine note confirmed impressions
current in official quarters for several
days that Germany would refuse to
give assurances asked by the United
states that the lives Of Americans
travelling the high sea. on unarmed
ships of any nationality be not en-
dangered.
Ine press copy arrived too late to
DE read by many officials and those
who saw it said they could not COM
ment until the Official text arrived.
This probably will reach here late to-
morrow or Sunday and President Will
son, 1t is understood, will start back
for Washington to communicate with
shis cabinet as soon as word is sent
him that it is here.
Ihe apparent restrictions placed by
Germany on the use of American pas
sehger' ships, which it seems are to
be given complete immunity from in
terference only if they do not carry
contraband, was regarded in manv
quarters as adding another to many
issues which have arisen over SUBJ
marine warfare
Assumption of liability for the loss
or Americans in the Lusitania tragedy,
was considered to have been wholly
evaded by Germany and the chief
principle for which the United States
announced that it would omit mo
word or act" to see observed was
viewed. as having been lightly passed
over
The general feeling that the note
would be unsatisfactory and bring. to
crisis the friendly relations that
nave existed between the United,
Statestand Germany developed more
strongly in official quarters as news,
IF the contents of the note spread.
tor several days tension has been re-
rewed but officials have declined to
manifest their displeasure or appre-
tension, over the situation, believing
hat nothing could be done or saio ]

Persons conversant with diplomatic
precedents in the framing of notes
believed the next step of necessity
would be an advance in the position
of the United States, for, having
asked for assurances and failed to re-
