Telegram From Cornish to Secretary
TumuIty Indicates Executive Hss
Arrived At No Decision ~ to Policy
\ Of Y. 8. Towards Berlin Government.

Washington, July 15.-The first on
cial announcement Of the immediate
plans of President Wilson for deal
ing with the situation that has arisen
between Germany and the United
States came on Tuesday In telegram
from Cornish, N. H., to Secretary
Tumulty, stating that the president
would return to Washington soon to
lay the entire subject before his cab
met 1t indicated that the president
had not yet arrived at decision a.
to the policy Of the government.
The White House statement was a.
follows:
Referring to statements appearing
in certain morning newspapers with
reference to the attitude of the presi-
dent toward the reply to the German
government. Secretary Tumulty this
evening gave out the following tele-
gram which he had received from the
president:
PLEASE say that from the moment
of the arrival of the official text of the
German note have given the matter
the closest attention, keeping con-
stantly in touch with the secretary Of
state and with every source that would
throw light on the situation: that SO
soon as the secretary of state and
have both maturely considered the sit
uation shall go to Washington and
get into personal conference with him
and with the cabinet and that there
will be as prompt an announcement as
possible of the purposes of the govern
ment.'"
Official opinion here continued to
regard the situation as grave. Secre-
tary Lansing and other members OF
the cabinet who are here hold this
view. Mr.. Lansing and his assistant
have been canvassing the entire field
of law and policy presented by the
German note and the president al
memoranda bearing on important
points.
The statement from the White
House has made 1t apparent that the
president has definitely abandoned
the idea of summoninr Mr.. Lansing
to the summer capital. It is assumed.
however, that Mr.. Wilson will return
here the last of the week and that
the subject will be laid before the
cabinet next Tuesday.
Emphasis has been laid in official
quarters on the fact that the issues
involved are of such seriousness and
Importance that consideration for a
week or more of the kind Of reply that
should be made ought not to be con-
strued as meaning that the necessity
for firm definition of American pol
Icy was underestimated.
