 He Has Taken.

New Orleans, La, June 11-App1aud- ing President Wilson for his stand in the disagreement with Secretary Bryan over the issue between the United States and Germany, Col.

 set in the thirty alI-incIusive arbitra-
 ton commission treaties recently ne-
 gotiated, and declines to suspend ac-
 tion for year while a neutral com

 Note Presented to Berlin Foreign Of-
 flee.
 The American note presented to, the Berlin foreign office today by Am baSSador Gerard was interpreted on all such as decidedly friendly and leav- Ing the way open to a satisfactory SO- lution with honor to both sides. Off, cials made it clear that the note pur- poSely had been phrased so as to re- iterate the earneStness of the United States with respect to the principles of humanity and international law and at the same time to afford Germany an opportunity with dignity to make her practice square with the principles expressed.
 Protest to Be Sent to Great Britain. It was officially stated today that a note would soon be sent to Great Bri- tain and allies insisting on a change in the operations of theb lockade con- ducted by them so as to conform with the principles of international law for bidding interference with trade in non contraband articles passing to and from a belligerent country through a neutral country. This was generally believed would be an important factor in convincing the German government that the United States would maintain 1 the same vigorous position of the fun damentals in international law with respect to the allies as has been the case in the American correspondence | with Germany.
 General Feeling of Confidence. Close reading in diplomatic quarters l of the American note to Germany, pre- scented by Ambassador Gerard today, the second since the Lusitania was sunk, brought out variety of pre- l dictions and views as to the manner in which Germany would reply. There was a general feeling of confidence, l however, that Germany would accept some of the several avenues of ap- proach purposely included in the note 1 by the American government so as to make possible friendly settlement.

 Without doubt MT. Lansing, in comparison with MT. Bryan, is a man of very sharp Zone, but the German press will do well not to enquire too anxiously whether he Is man of sharp or of peaceful tone.
 Our submarine war will not cease on that account. If American ships or Americans in British ships enter the war zone, they must, despite MT.
