U. S. MAY DELAY REPLY
TO BRITAIN'S Notes
Present Intention of Administration.
However, Is Not to Yield to
England's Argument.

A considers BILE period of time is like
ly to elapse before the United States
replies to the British governments
defense of its practices in interfering
with neutral trade, contained in the
several notes from that government
published yesterday.
While 1t is considered eminently de-
sirabl that the British contentious be
answered just as quickly as possible,
it is admitted that the notes will re-
cuire most careful and deliberate
study.
A speedy reply to Great Britain is
considered desirable. as it is the pres
ent intention of the administration
not to yield to the British argument
While 1t is admitted that the British
government has made an able pre-
sentation of its case, and has offered
much reasoning that is quite plausible.
the administration intends to stand
firm for the position 1t has already
taken in reference to the British prac-
tices. 1t is, therefore. thought wise
that the British government should be
informed that this is the fact just as
soon as possible. Another reason for
expediting the reply to Great Britain
is the fact that the Germans are OPEN
ly declaring that their attitude toward
the demands of the United States in
the submarine issue \will be largely
governed by the character of the next
American note to Great Britain on the
question of British interferences with
neutral trade.
There are many indications that the
note to be sent to Great Britain on
this subject will not meet the German
view of what the note should be.
While the United States is determined
to adhere to its contention that the
British proceedings are Illegal, this
government draws a sharp distinction
between the controversy with Germany
and that with Great Britain. 1t is |
held at the State Department that the
issue with Great Britain is merely a
legal controversy. both government
agreeing as to the principles. and dis
a greeing only as TO the conformity of
British acts with those princi |
Piles In the dispute with Germany the |
latter government has never satisfied |
the United States on the question of
principle.

Lure Of THE POTOMAC
CANNOT Be RESISTED
During the Warm Weather Many
Desert City for Camps Along
Virginia Shore.

Now Is the time when Old Mother
Nature is calling her children, wher
the river and the wind in the trees
are sending you wireless messages
and you long to throw of the burdens
and cares of business and social life
and hike away to some woodland nook
to loaf. and sleep. and eat.
| You sit and doze at your work and
are lulled into that enchanting realm
of thought where you long for the
warm sun, the slap Of the water
against the canoe. the silent nights
| beside the campfire.
You ina gine the long tramps through
the woods, smell the fresh damp scent
| of the forest. and picture yourself re-
turning at the close of day, tired out
and sleepy.
ITO a couch of new pulled hemlock
and the starlight in your face"
You dream on, hen realize that you
cannot afford a trip to Maine or New
Hampshire and grouchily go back to
work with a 'I-guess ess-it's-me-right-
here-at-the desk -all-summer" express
sion.
Partner, come, cheer up, pack your
outfit, get a canoe. a tent. rod. and
some flies, and stake out camp on
the Potomac.
Flowing quietly down to the sea.
this beautiful river, right at your door
step almost. offers you all you long
fov The quiet starlight nights, the
fishing parties, the hikes. and the
campfires can all be found along
Potomacs shores.
Spurned in days gone by. this historic
stream is just coming to be appreciated
Where ten.years ago its banks were prac-
tically nude of any human habitation
up stream. today there Is scarce a spot
on the Virginia shore where one cannot
see, up and down stream. the tiny tents
of the camper.
Where, ten years ago all was black
and silent as the shades of night descend
ed. today at the approach of darkness
the fires of the camper appear like fire.
fys one by one while the tunes from
a dozen or more Sraphophcnes are car
ried out upon the night air.
Happiness. health and recreation are
here. Good fellowship. and contentment
reign and wise is he who comes to WOO
this lovely stream.
The canoe is the medium of transpor-
tation. If the spirit moves you to travel
down to see Bill at Sum-kamp you get
into your canoe and paddle down. Then.
when you want to come home. you pad
die back.
Neckties and collars are unknown along |
Campers row. The ladies don't like
them and they are unnecessary and out
of place. A campers shirt. khaki pants
and low canvas rubber soled shoes are |
considered the full dress suit of the out |
door man. Let him who comes other |
wise dressed beware. He will not have |
tho fun the other fellow gets out of it. |
He can't lay down on the ground for !
fear of spelling his clothes: he can't get |
his feet wet for fear of running his shoes, |
and he doesn't get the pleasure out of |
camp life.

A joyful afternoon of fun yesterday
was furnished the children and mothers
at Camp Good Will, in Rock Creek
Park. by more than 100 inmates Of the
Soldiers Home.
In automobiles donated by generous
Washingtonians. the veterans left the
home about 2:15 o'clock, arriving at the
camp shortly before 3. and remaining
until after 5. 1t was very hot when
they arrived, but Immediately the hearts
of the children and mothers were won
by the serving of ice cream. under the
direction Of Sergt. John E. Hogan.
But the children even left their ice
cream when they discovered that Uncle
Sam was in the party. George Camp
bell played the part and his red. white.
and blue garb made his following ex-
tremely large.
Then the Soldiers Home Band. under
the direction of John F. NJ. thinner
mann, struck up a tune, and the kid
dies danced with delight. All after
noon the band kept up the strains. Sew
eral buglers sounded army calls, while
the youngsters stood around in open
wonderment.
