Answer from Kaiser to Query of
U. S. Regarding Continuance Of Sub
marine Warfare.
NAY GO TO BERLIN TONIGHT

Washington, June 5.--President
Wilson was today putting the finish
ing touches on his latest note to. Ger
many concerning the sinking of the
Lusitania. 1t already had been APP
proved in principle by the cabinet,
All that was needed today to start
the communication on it's way to Ber-
lin was the making of minor changes
in phraseology. This was the task
before the president.
The president was expected to COM
plcte the work of revision during the
day. The note will then be sent to
the state department for transmission
by cable, probably tonight or tomor-
row, to Am bassador Gerard at Berlin,
who will in turn present 1t to the
German foreign office. Previous re-
ports that the note would be brief but
emphatic are borne out, it is said, by
the text as it now stands.
Preparing Final Form.
President Wilson returned ITO the
White House toward noon after a
brief outing, and gave his attention to
putting the note into final form.
While its main principles were ap-
proved at the cabinet session yester-
day, the president today had not COM
pleted it's exact phraseology. Officials
generally, therefore,. did not know
exactly how emphatic its terms would
be, but the general impression in ex-
ecutive quarters was that it was
phrased in such a way as to admit
only of an affirmative or negative
answer to the query of the United
States as to Germany's intentions to
exercise the right of visit and search,
when encountering unarmed mer-
chantment on the high seas.
Time of Publication Unknown.
Secretary Bryan would only say that
when the note actually goes forward
to Berlin the fact will be made. pub
