was that the German note would be in
Washington and decided by Monday
morning.
Secretary Lansing will come fully
prepared to go into the diplomatic prec-
edents of the situation with the Presi-
dent, but Mr.. Wilson himself will de-
termine the broad outlines Of the
policy to be pursued.
There is a possibility that the President
and Mr. Lansing will be able fully to de-
terrnine upon the course of the United
states during their conference here.
and that therefore the President will
not feel IT necessary to return to
Washington Immediately. At any rate,
II was said tonight that it was i'm
probable that he would return in time
for the usual cabinet meeting Tuesday
morning.

note as contained in the morning news

pressed him until he had read the Off
cial text he was expecting from Wash
ington. He was in communication dur
ing the day with Secretary Lansing
and Secretary Tumulty. and received
their informal views of the situation
but 1t was indicated tonight that he
was keeping his mind open on the
entire question.
While 1t was generally accepted that
the note was unsatisfactory to the
United States government. the Presi-
