AZ Work on German aSp,y

Washington, July 20.-Prest ient Will
son and the cabinet dscusse,l for three
hours today three tentative drafts OF the
latest reply 10 the German lnote and
agreed upon certain sections Of the docu-
ment. A question still TO be decided is
whether paragraph shall be added
warning Germany for the last time that
unless she yields to the demands OF this
government, the United States will adopt
more vigorous course than che has here
tofore employed.
The alternative is TO withhold this dec
laration OF purpose until the next COM
municdtion.
The action contemplated is the break
ing off Of diplomatic relations with Ger
many. If this were done Ambassador
Gerard would be recalled and Ambas
sador BernstorG would be provided with
safe passage to Germany. This state OF
affairs would continue until Germany
had given the necessary assurances that
American lives and property would be
safeguarded under the recognized rules of
international law
The note will be further considered by
the president and his advisors during the
next few DAYS and will probably De given
its final touches Mt the cabinet meeting
| on Friday.
The state department expects To send
it to Berlin 10y the end of this week.
