Berlin, via London. July 9. $50 A. M.
The German minister of foreign az
fairs. Gottleib Won Jagow, has inform
ed The Associated Press that the dis
patch Of the German note is immedi-
ately impending. A few changes, he
said, would perhaps be necessary. aft
er which the reply would be delivered
to the American ambassador. Herr Won
Jagow asked to be excused from COM
menting in advance on the note, but
discussed the difficulties under which
the negotiations had been conducted,
owing to the slowness and incomplete
ness Of communications between Ger
many and the United States and the
obstruction to the free exchange of
news between the German and Amer
lean press and public"
Re-openins Cable
Il see," said the minister, that the
text of the note Of the Imperial gov
eminent presented through Ambassa-
dor Gerard regarding the re-opening of
the direct cable to the United States
was published by the American papers
on June IA. The American public has
thus been given an opportunity to
learn of the proposals Of the German
government with reference to this.
Germany proposed to pay the en-
tire expenses Of repairing the cable
and putting it into operations, the
United States being entitled to ap-
point a censor at that end of the ca
bic.
EnsIand's Reason
The American public has also
learned that the British government
for obvious reasons has taken no no.
tice of these proposals. Great Brit
ain apparently does not want the peo-
Die of neutral countries to be inform
ed in an impartial way on the events
of this great war. The reasons are not
far to seek. That is why, at the be-
ginning Of the war Great Britain cut
the cable. The result was that from
the very first day only news coming
from one side could be spread in the
neutral countries.
That is how Great Britain could
mould public opinion in a way suiting
her own purpose. That is how Ameri-
ca could form a wrong opinion Of
Germany's methods Of warfare and
that is how misunderstanding and
certain i'll feeling against Germany
have crept in.
America Misinformed

Decision on Appeal

The decision was handed down by
the full bench and was on an appeal
by the railroad from a superior court
decision enjoining the corporation from
transferring stock standing in the
names OF the defendants. The full
bench also had before il an appeal of
the plaintiffs from a decree of Supreme
Court Justice Hammond dismissing the
bill as against the estate of the late
]. Pierponr Morgan and other de-
ceased NONRESIDENT Defendants Judge
Hammond also had decreed that the
bill could not be maintained by the
plaintiffs. nor could it be maintained
if brought in the name Of the corpora
ton itself; that the plaintiffs as stock
holders had acquiesced in some Of the
acts complained Of and that the bill
failed to show that the expenditures
were made for an unlawful purpose
and that the company did not get full
value for waht the directors expended
Courts Reseript
In the rescript accompanying the de-
says:
The allegations Of the bill do not
show reasona BILE application to direc-
tors TO institute proceedings to recov-

German Attitude

With respect to the sinking Of the
Lusitania on which more than 100
Americans persisted, no admission Of
liability is made. Whether in extern
uation or not the view is expressed
in the draft that when torpedoed it
was not believed the Lusitania would
sink as rapidly as she did. AS for the
future, citizens Of the United States
would be permitted to travel with
safety on the high seas if passengers
on American ships or on belligerent
ships not carrying munitions Of war.
The United States would be required
to inform the German government Of
the date Of departure and character
Of vessels carrying Americans and
guarantee that such ships had no mu-
nitions Of war aboard.
Would be I'm. neutral
In this connection, high officials
here stated today that it would be an
un-neutral act for the United States
government to notify any belligerent
government of the date Of departure
from an American port or the charac-
ter Of the cargo Of a merchantmen Of
another belligerent.

ambassador, was in communication by
