Haste Unnecessary IN
View of Count Won Bern
storff's Message.
BERLIN MISINFORMED
Germans Led to Believe Amer.
leans Not Always in Earnest
in Their Demands.

Washington, June 6.-President Will
sons second note 70 Germany regard
ing the destruction OF American lives
and property at sea will be cabled 70
Germany tomorrow night or early on
Tuesday.
There have been delays in the prepa-
ration OF the communication. but IL
ia emphatically denied that they have
been caused By any internal or inter
national complications. The President
was indisposed on Friday afternoon
and night, as pointed out in The Trib-
une to-day. He spent part OF yester-
day resting, and last night he WORKED
late on the completion Of his own hnaI
draft Of the note. To-day the Presi-
dent rested. and so did the note.
7. was not the Presidents desire TO
crowd Counsellor Lansing with more
labor over Sunday than was impera-
tivelv necessary. II is understood that
the German reply to the second com
munication will not be completed and
started for the United States before
June 90 or 81 For this reason haste IN
nresenting the American note Is less
necessary than IL Ambassador Bern
storf had not sought 10 lay his own
views and the state Of public feeling
in the United States before his gov
ernment through Meyer Gerhard, his
special envoy, who will not arrive IN
Berlin before June IT.
Nevertheless, the delay in sending
the Presidents latest communication
is taken by some persons as an indl-
cation that Secretary Bryan has per-
suaded Mr.. Wilson to wait, at least
until Count Won Bernstorf receives
reply TO his own message to his gov
Friends of the President,
however, insist that the delay is pure
ly physical
Restatement OF Principles.
The note which President Wilson has
framed is a comprehensive and at the
same time terse reiteratlon OF the prin-
ciplcs set forth in the original COM
munication Of May IL. Nothing OF the
original American policy as enunclated
then has undergone the slightest act
nal change. The note is a restate-
ment OF the American position writ
ION in the light Of Germany's evasive
and unsatisfactory reply 10 the hrst
note. and il said 70 mince no words
in telling the German Foreign once
that the Won Jagow note did not an
swer the contentlons OF the Onlted
States.
How the second note will be re.
ceived in Berlin is hardly a matter OF
conjecture here. II is well known that
the German public and government
have become possessed OF or oOsessed
with, the idea that the United states
government does not necessarily mean
all that it says in its state papers: IL
was this state OF mind and public feel
mo that Ambassador Bernstorf is de-
sirous of setting right. At the same
time it is well known in the innermost
circles of the administration that the
German attitude has not been predi-
Gated on anything that Count yon Bern
storf has told his government. IL Is
also known that the special message
sent TO his government by the amDas-
sador is not the first information as
,o The American attitude which he has
communicated. and that he has been
sadly disappointed at times at the re,
ception which Berlin has accorded
some OF his views.
May Quote German Note.
Suggestion has been made 20 the
President that the note from Germany
offering regrets and reparation for the
sinking by mistake of the Gulhight De
cited in the new note as proof of the
American contention that without visit
and search the identity Of vessel can,
not be established ard the lives Z neu-
trails safeguarded. The commander OF
the German submarine which attacked
the Gulhight reported that he did not
see III American flag until "the mo-
ment Of firing the shot" Whether this
idea will be included is not snown.
The belief Is constantly expressed in
German quarters that the crisis over
the Lusitania case has passed. 1t is
frequently pointed out, too, that the
present correspondence over neutral
rights may lead 10 discussion Of the
general subject OF the freedom OF the
seas, and some German officials have
suggested that out of the exchange OF
notes with Germany, followed by fur
ther correspondence with Great Britain
on neutral rights, the way may be
opened even 10 the making OF peace.
Attention for the present in Official
quarters is fixed on a settlement OF the
di iculties between Germany and the
United States, and talk OF making
peace in Europe is heard much less
now than few months ago.
Will See the Note Again.
The President will see the document
again before il is put into the state
Departments code for transmission to
Ambassador Gerard. TO be presented
10 the German Foreign Ohice. IL Is
not believed that the text will be made
public until word has been received
that the note is in the hands OF Herr
Won Jsgow.
President Wilson has entirely re-
covered from his ind!sposition. He
