that no vessels leaving American ports

Little Importance Is attached by
officials to the affidavits which the
German embassy has transmitted to
the State department alleging that
there were guns aboard the Lusitania.
Although neither the state department
nor the embassy has made these af-
hdavits public. Counselor Lansing
said their description published to-
day was substantially accurate. In
one OF these Gustave Stahl of 20
Leroy street. New York city. declares
he went aboard the Lusitania to as
sist his friends. A. Leitch, cabin
steward, with a trunk and saw on
the aft main deck and foredeck four
guns of 2 and IA eentimetres calibre.
They were said to be covered with
leather and Stahl alleges tx. he un-

calibre OF the guns.
Mrs. Josephine Weir, a boarding
house keeper In New York. is the
signer Of second affidavit swearing
she heard Leitch speak Of four guns
on the ship. Another signed by a
man named Grieve deposes that he
heard Mrs. Weir and Leitch make re-
marks In that connection. and a fourth
man named Buckhner says he saw
cannon on the deck of the Lusitania
while standing on the deck at New
York.
All four affidavits have been re-
ferred to the department Of justice,

nGTE NOT YET SENT,
AMERICAN MESSAGE TO BERLIN
PRACTICALLY COMPLETED
AND READY TO GO.
Repeats Stand That Germany Will he

man Quarters More Optimistic i'm
Regard to Possibility Of Settlement.

Washington, June 6.-President
Wilson's note to Germany will be ca
bled to Ambassador Gerard Monday
night or early Tuesday, according to
word from the White House tonight.
The only reason for the delay, it
was said, was the presidents desire
to make the phaseology Of the note
so explicit and unmistakable as to
leave no room for doubt or further
argument concerning the position of
the United States government-tha
the right Of visit and search must be
exercised and passengers and crew of
unarmed ships on which neutrals are
voyaging, transferred to a place of
safety before any prize is destroyed
by belligerent warship.
Officials familiar with the contents
of the note said it was a forceful
reiteration Of the principles expressed
by the United States in it's note Of
February 10, when the American gov
ernmen' announced that it could not
admit the right Of the German ad-
miralty's proclamation Of a war zone
to infringe in any way upon the right
OF neutrals to travel anywhere on the
nigh seass on peaceful merchantmen
and that the German government
hn hnl1
ability for any violation of American
rights.
Suggestions had been made to the
president that the recent note from
Germany offering regrets and repara-
ton for the sinking by mistake of
the dulfight be cited in the new note
as proof Of the American contention
that without visit and search the
Identity Of a vessel can not be estab-
lished and lives of passengers and
crew safeguarded. ~. '.', ..'
The commander Of the submarine
which attacked the Gulfiight reported
that he did not see the American flag
until the moment of firing the shot"
Whether this idea will be included
is not known.
There may be some further dis
cussion of the document with legal
officers of the government tomorrow.
but it is expected to be put in cipher
and sent on it's way to Berlin tomor-
row night. Il
President Wilson went to church
this morning, took a short automobile
ride ir the afternoon and spent the
evening in his study, still at work on
the note. Secretaries McAdoo and
Houston called during the evening.
In German quarters the optimism
which has been apparent since Count
Won BernstOrff, the German ambassa-
dor. talked with President Wilson con-
tinued today, the impression being
given that the road to an understand
ing was much clearer than it had
been since the Lusitania was de-
stroyed.
The belief is constantly expressed
In German quarters that the crisis
over the Lusitinia case has passed.
