SHOE TOKEN OF Subsection
Is Not Looked Upon as
Merely Joke.

AS specially applied to weddings
there is suspicion that the throwing
OF old shoes-or new slippers. for all
that-had at first a significance which
would surely be most Objectionable to
twentieth-century brides. It seems &c
have been a token of the complete
subsection of the bride to her lord
and master. In the East a shoe or
slipper was publicly borne at the head
OF the bridal procession in indication
OF the brides subsection, and at some
Jewish weddings the bridegroom USED
to strike the bride a blow with his
shoe as sign that she was thereafte,
to be submissive to his will Among
the HISTORIANS it was the custom for
the bridegroom to kick the bride, and
for her to remove from his foot the
shoe with which he had kicked her.
TO this day there is a common Gus.
tom in Russia for the bridegroom on
his wedding night TO require the bride
TO pull off his boots. In one OF them
Is a whip, and in the other a gift If
she pulls off first the one containing
the whip, she gets a stroke from the
lash and is to expect foggings there
after, but If the gift is first disclosed
her married life will be happy. 1t is
related of Martin Luther that once,
after performing the wedding cere-
mony for couple, he took Off the
bridegrooms shoe and placed it upon
the brides pillow. as a sign that she
should in all things and at all times
be subservient to her husband.

EXPLAINS DELAY OF
NOTE TO GERMANY
WILSON DESIRES TO HAVE Docu.
MENT TO STATE POSITION OF
U. S. EXPLICITLY.
MANY SERIOUS QUESTIONS
President Anxious to Have Communi
cation Unimpeachahie From View
of International Law-To Be
cabIed to Berlin Soon.

Washington, June 9.--President VIII
son let it be known that the note
which the United States is to send to
Germany with respect to submarine
warfare had been prepared with the
utmost expedition and had not been
subjected to an hours unnecessary de-
lay since it was first drafted.
The Presidents desire to have the
document state explicitly the position
of the United States government so
that it could not possibly be mis-
understood abroad or invite protracted
discussion on the fundamental issues
involved is Chiefly responsible for the
fact that the note has not yet gone.
Legal officers of the government ex-
amined the note with minute care and
SAINT 1t back to the President with
some changes, 1t may require fur
Their consideration by the President
and his cabinet, and high officials of
not know just when 1t Will be cabled.
On the highest authority, however it
was stated that as soon as the Presi-
dent regarded the communication as
satisfactory in phraseology 1t would
be transmitted to Ambassador Gerard.
Serious Questions Involved.
Questions Of such serious moment
are involved In the wording of the new
note that the President is anxious
that the communication not only shall
meet his own wishes, but should be
unimpeachable from the point of view
or the experts in international law.
While the President has been at
work on the document, special agents
OF the United States government have
corroborated in every detail the state
ment made in the first American note
that the Lusitania was unarmed.
Officials familiar with the situation
dissipated the notion that any intiu-
ence had arisen to delay the sending
OF the communication. One of the
Presidents closest advisers declared
that there had been no intentional de-
lay, but that the note had required
much scrutiny and careful considera-
ton.

viii Satisfy Americans.

When the document is finally made
public, these officials stated i would
not only satisfy the American public
opinion, but would place squarely be-
fore Germany the issue as to whether
the imperial government intends to ad.
here to the hitherto accepted princi.
plies of international law on maritime
warfare.
The President has been displeased
by the numerous detailed accounts
that have been published of what the
note would contain when he himself
had not yet settled finally on its con-
tents. He is anxious that the Ameri-
can people shall suspend Judgment
until they read the text of the docu-
ment
In diplomatic quarters the dispatch
OF the note is awaited with intense
interest.

Hopes Of Friendly Adjustment.

To what extent the German view
point regarding the situation between
the United States and Germany is the
same as that held at Berlin is not
clear as yet. But certainly the general
view in German quarters here is that
the recent trend Of events gives homes
of friendly adjustment This is based
not alone on the probable course of
the German side of the negotiations
but also on the American course which
is regarded as developing along lines
which will permit of satisfactory
CONCLUSION.
The most promising formula for a
solution, according to the German
viewpoint, is one which would combine
an agreement on the status of the
Lusitania as an armed or unarmed
ship and also general agreement
guaranteeing immunity from attack
hereafter TO all unarmed ships carry
ing passengers.
