NOTE MADE PUBLIC
WASHINGTON. D. c., June IL
The full text OF the American note
to Germany was made public today
and the document is generally re-
garded throughout the United States
as an able presentation of the atti
tude of the administration. In local
official and diplomatic circles, the
note is commended without reserva
| ton. II is considered firm. yet de
! cidedly anti-warlike. 1t bears the
stamp OF diplomacy, impressive yet
! inoffeusiye and unthreatening. The
wording OF the note is such, in fact
as to cause diplomats to marvel
| at the refusal of Bryan to stand be
hind the President.
In substance the note declared
| that whatever the contentious OF
the German government regarding
| the carriage of contraband of wal
aboard the British steamship Lusi
tania, or regarding the explanation
that the material aboard was sub
| ject to attack by torpedo. those
contentious are irrelevant to the
! question at issue. The legality OF
! the methods used in the sinking OF
passenger ship involve principles
| of humanity when sunk without
warning, the government of the
! United States contending that such
| an act involves something much
greater than the mere rights and
| privileges of commerce contendine
for the right of humanity in which
| the whole world is concerned

Allied troops in both France and
Belgium are gaining ground accord
ing to a report today from London.
1t seems from this that the allies
have started a new offensive move
ment having for its object the re-
gaining of the ground recently taken
by the Germans. Just how far the
allies have advanced since this new
movement was started is not eX-
planned in today's dispatches.
That the Italians are preparing
to attack Trieste, Austria is the
