Germany to Dispatch
Her Second Reply to
U. S. on July 5 or 6
BY CARL w. ACKERMAN.

EERLlN (V1a The Hague), June B.-
The German reply to the second Ameri-
can note regarding the Lusitania will
be, handed, to Ambassador Gerard on
July or 6.
Because Of the Fourth of July cele-
brations in the United States. the for
eign office deems it inadvsable to send
Germanys answer before that date
The tentative draft. outlined by the
United Press several days ago, has not
yet been approved by Grand Admiral
Won Tirpitz But the reply, l was as
sured by high Official here today, will
take form Ito which no one in Amer
lea can make objection"
1t Is understood that Germany will
make an important suggestion in her
answer-a sugg of such q nature
that If President Wilson ac epts 1t the
German-American controversy will be
at an end. 1t Is considered probable
here that this suggestion is the proposal
that submarines will not attack UNI
armed PASSENGER ships, carving no con-
trabapd, provided they bear certain dis
tlnguishing marks.
Chancellor Won Bethmann- HollweR is
now at the Galician army Headquarters
Of the Kaiser, He is not expected to re-
turn to Berlin before the German reply
Is sent. Because of the importance OF

j. s. INVESTIGATING
NEW TERROR SHELL
Sensational Developments Are
Hinted at by Commerce De-
partment.

Activity Of the Department Of Com
merce with regard to the advertisement
by a Clevelwand firm of a machine de-
signed to make shells that caused their
victims to die in terrible agony took a
new turn today when 1t was announced
that 4. T. Quigley. assistant solicitor
of the Department of Commerce, had
been sent to Cleveland to investigate.
Developments of a sensational nature
are hinted at. but officials will not dis
cuss the probable action of the Govern
ment until the investigation is COM
pleted.
Secretary Redfeld's office is convinced
that the machine merely performs a
part of the preliminary work toward
turning out the shells. and that 1t does
not itself make the shells of the hideoue
characteristics described in the COM
pany's advertising
The Department of Commerce has
learned that the Cleveland company
does not manufacture shells or explo-
sives. but It has not learned why ad-
vertisements of the company referred to
the deadly quality of shells made with
It's machine when 1t had no part in
loading of the shells. The explanation
of the Cleveland firm that it's advertis-
ing copy had been mixed up with a
news article on ammunition has not
been accepted by the department, in the
light of correspondence with the maya
-'he which printed the advertisement.

Dignitaries of Two Govern
ments in Conference Over
Matter in Austrian Capital.
NOTE EXPECTED IN A WEEK
Secretary Lansing Gets Report
on Progress in Preparation
of Message.

United action will be represented In
the German reply to the American note
Advices from Vienna and Berlin indi-
cate that a draft of the communication
Is under consideration in the Austrian
capital today, along with matters OF
Germanic- Balkan policy.
Participating in the conference were
DR.. Won Bethmann- H ollweg, the Ger
man imperial chancellor; the German
Emperor; Gottlieb Won Jagow, the Ger
man foreign minister, and Baron Won
Dajecj, the Austrian foreign minister.
Secretary Lansing today received
from Ambassador Gerard, Berlin. a re-
port on progress in the preparation OF
Germany's reply to the American note.
All he would make public was that
Gerard said it was "along favorable
lines.'
To Hurry Note.
It Is expected that when the German
representatives return to Berlin the
work of completing the communication
which means so much to the future of
the United States will be hurried. 1t
is expected that the note will be in the
hands Of this Government one week
from today.
The fact that Germany has asked the
views of her ally, Austria, in preparing
this communication, as now appears to
be the case, adds to the hopefulness Of
tho general German situation.
Austria is very friendly to this Gov
crnment and the Austrian foreign office
is understood to have opposed the in
discriminate use of submarines against
passenger carrying merchantmen.
Meanwhile the complications with
Great Britain have showed interest in
the German developments to the side.
The greatest campaign of protest that
ment Of the war is rapidly developing.
Americans United.
The cotton growers of the South. with
a new crop almost in their hands; the
American Association of Importers. the
national organization of exporters and
the big meat packers of the West are
uniting for common action to force
President Wilson to take action to COM
pei England to modify her order in
council SO that the rights of American
merchants under international law shall
be safeguarded.
The pressure from the South will be
very great. tnasmuch as 1t will be par
ticipated in by nearly every Southern
Senator and Congressman. all of whom
are members Of President Wilson's own own
political party. Under the leadership OF
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia they
are organizing for a special session, and
an embargo on expectation of munitions
If England persists in her interference
with the shipment of cotton to neutral
countries.
