GERMAN REPLY TO
COME IN A WEEK
Apparent Delay in Completion Of
Note to U. S. is Looked on as
Hopeful Sign.
ANSWER FRIENDLY, BELIEVED

WASHINGTON. July Ger
many's reply to the last American
note concerning submarine warfare
probably will not be received for at
least another week. Ambassador
Gerard in his reports to the State
department has not set a specific
date. but has coniectured that a week
would be required to finish the COM
munication.
While MIR. Gerard has kept the Wash
ington government constantly informed Of
the gossip in official quarters in Berlin
with reference to the German reply. he
has been unable to learn definitely as yet
just what II will outline. lie knows
however, that Germany will make a
counter proposal and that its exact ra-
ture is now being discussed by various
elements in the German government.
The apparent delay in the completion
OF the document ls looked upon by Off
Gals as a hopeful sign. and they are not
disappointed. as some reports have said
at the protracted discussion. believing
that each additional day il likely to bring
the two countries closer to an under
standing.
Such advices as Amba 3ador Gerard has
sent portray a favorable atmosphere in
berlin. from which he infers that the re-
ply will be friendly and perhaps salts
factory.
IN a general way It Is known officially
that Germany is endeavoring TO avoid
further attacks on passenger vessels of
any nationality, but its difficulty Is 20
frame a proposal in such way as TO pre-
vent the allies from continuing to ship
large quantities of ammunition and con-
trabanu on such ships.
One suggestion discussed in Berlin off
cial quarters recently, and OF which the
American government was advised. con-
templated that passenger vessels clear
ing from American ports be immune from
attack. placing the burden on the United
States to interpret Just what is meant by
"a vessel primarily engaged in passen-
ger traffic"
While the United states claims under
international law the right to have its
citizens travel on all ships, whether or
not they carry oontraband, Germany is
hoping in some way. It is understood, TO
impose a moral obligation whereby Amer
leans would be persuaded not to take
passage on vessels devoted chiefly TO
traffic in contraband. The suggestion in
press dispatches OF Joint British-Ameri-
can or Characterization inspection Of
passenger vessels is regarded in come
official quarters here as likely to furnish
a basis for a partial understanding.
To Pave Way 20 Understa nding.
As a whole. officials here believe the
forthcoming note. while It may not be
productive of an immediate understand
Ing. will pave the way for further dis
oussion in which the friction between
the United states and Germany may be
removed.

Eratified at the apparent efforts Of a
large section Of the influential class in
Berlin TO bring about a better under
standing between the two countries
ExchanRe of Views.
BERLIN Cvia London. July st is
learned that preliminary exchange Of
views IL now proceeding between the
United states and Germany regard ng
the nature Of the forthC oming German
reply to the American note respecting
submarine warfare and the Lusittnia in
cident. This is responsible for the de-
lay in the delivery Of the German note
the transmission OF which the American
government expected today. The ef-
forts OF the diplomats or both sides are
directed toward evolving. through an in
formal discussion. a formula for a note
which would be acceptable both TO Ger
many and the United states, ana IL is
believed the note, when IL Is presented
and published. will have a reasona bic
chance OF furnishing a basis for 2 sat
isfactory settlement OF the submarine
problem.
In consonance with this plan. the Ger
man undersecretary for foreign affairs
DR.. Alfred Zimmerman, and the Amer
lean ambassador. James w. Gerard, had
a conference on Saturday at which the
nature OF the draft Of the note as elab-
GRATED in the German conferences was
outlined and discussed
II is understood that Mr.. Gerard has
informed the State department at Wash
ington fully as to the outline OF the note
and instructions from that department
are awaited before further steps are
taken. The greatest reserve is being
maintained by both sides.
Most Carefully Guarded.
Officials of the German foreign office
have for several days denied themselves
TO American newspaper callers TO pre-
vent the nature Of the deliberations from
leaking out, and although the character
OF the German proposals, as nj first
considered, Is known with fair accuracy.
the nature OF the proposals in the draft
under consideration on Saturday. which
has received the emperor's approval, is
being most carefully guarded.
There is reason TO believe, however,
that these have in view the attainment
OF some means for ensuring the safety
OF Americans travelling on passenger
ships. possibly by some plan OF certify
ing the cargoes OF the vessels.
Details of the plan present greater
difficulties than the principle itself. be-
cause the Germans wish to preserve as
great a freedom OF action as possible to
interfere with shipments of war supplies
to Great Britain.
1t is pointed out in certain quarters
that the German government Is animated
by sincere desire to go as far in pro
viding for the safety at sea of Ameri-
cans travelling on lawful occasions as
consistent with military necessity and
the force OF German public opinion. And
this is a force that is certain to be taken
into account

The trouble with all the tooth creams

washes. that have ever been offered you
before-is that they are almost worth
less In removing the CAUSE of decay

This has not been entirely the fault OF
the manufacturer because there was no
germlcide known TO science that was
strong enough to do any good and that
could at the same time be used without
harmful effects.
For example. you surely couldn't use
