NOT TO ABANDON SUBMARINES
Tragic Meeting Narrowly Averted a.
Count Leaves Capitol
Minister Calls. - :&72
(Untted Pross)

Washington, June Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
called on President Wilson at the
White House this morning, thirty
minute consultation being held.
Two minutes before the German
minister left the presidents office the
Italian minister called and the at
tendants narrowly averted q tragic
meeting.
Refused All Comment. :.
Officials refuse to comment con-
corning the talk between the ambas-
sador and president Wilson. Detec-
tives prevented reporters from inter-
viewing the count as he left the
White House but some shouted ques-
tons.
Bernstroff nodded "nothing do
ing" 1t is believed, however, he
told the president that Germany is
ready to do all required in way of
reparation wherever it is shown that
his country infringed upon American
rights, and that an understanding
must be reached between the two ma
tions concerning armed and unarmed
vessels and acting upon such mutual
information possible.
Not to Abandon Submarines.
It is believed that he told Wilson
that he could hardly expect Germany
to abandon submarine warfare un-
less the British abandon their star
walton policy.
The talk undoubtedly gave the
president some thoughts for prepar-
ing next of series of notes to Ger
many. 80"
Cabinet in Meeting.
The president listened to various
expressions Of opinion at a meeting
of the cabinet, taking little part in
the discussion himself and later be-
gan: the preparation of q note 10 DO
dispatched before the end OF the:
week; and what seemed to him the
concensus of his ofHcial family.
Was Unresponsige.
The verdict of the majority of the
cabinet was that the Germany reply
to the American note, following the
sinking of the Lusitania, was unre-
sponsive, unsatisfactory, disregarded
the good will of the United States,
doubted it's fact, and disclaimed all
blame for the destruction of the mer-
chairman with American lives.
The questions of fact raised by
Germany are regarded as irrelevant

U. 5. DEMANDS THAT
MEXICO ACT PROMPTLY
TO BETTER CONDITIONS
UNITED Pross)

Washington. June "A demand
was presented by the United States
government this afternoon to Mexi-
can leaders to act together and act
promptly for the relief and redemp-
ton of their PROSTATE country. In
an open review of conditions as they
now exist in Mexico, President VIII
son said that it would no longer be
tolerated and furthermore unless
Mexican leaders act, the chief execu-
tive warns them that this country
will be. compelled to decide what
means are to be employed in order
to help Mexico save herself and serve
her people. -. .-'-.. ~:
The note cites the revolutionary
conditions in Mexico and in which
one party sought to quiet them. The
United States sympathized with that
movement. Then, when that party
on the eve of victory, other parties
sprung up, all with selfish motives.
Hence Mexico is no nearer a settle
ment now than, before because all
factions allege to have the same OBJ
jects of peace, but are not willing
to cooperate for peace. !
The people of Mexico are starving
and the war has swept the county.
The United States is no longer able to
stand by without interfering. She
wants nothing but insists on being
neighborly and calls upon Mexico to
quit it's revolutionary methods and
set up a central government. II 1t
fails to do this President Wilson will
be constrained to decide as to what:
means will be employed by the
United to help Mexico, save the cQun-
try and her people.

ITALIAN. ACTIVITIES
SUDDENLY | HALTED |
First Forward BUSHES Not Being Fol-
lowed Caution and Military .
Discretion Developed.
SLOW MOBILIZATION IS CAUSE
Shown That Officials Have Grasped
First Fundamental Lesson of War,
That of Striking First.
By j. w. r. MASON.

New York, June 2.-Italy's pre-
liminary offensives have come to a
halt. The first forward rushes that
followed so quickly after the declara-
ton of war against Austria are. not
being followed up. The Austrian
armies are invisible and on reports
of their activities have. been issued
at Vienna. Nevertheless, the .Ital-
ians suddenly have developed a sense
of caution and are beginning to use
military discretion in conducting
their campaign.
Due to Slow Mobilization.
The slow mobilization of the army
must be chiefly responsible for the
cessation Of the Italian advances. A
fortnight would normally be the
least time required to concentrate
the Italian troops. By this rule, no
serious advance could have been ex-
pected anywhere along the front be-
fore the first of next week. But 80
quickly did the Italians begin their
invasion of Austrian territory after
war was declared and at so many
points were frontier troops sent
across the boundary that high expec-
tations were raised of the sudden de-
velopment of military genius in Italy.
Grasped Lesson of War.
Italy has shown that her military
experts had grasped the fundamental
lesson of the war, which is the adj
vantage of striking first. Italy
struck first, last week, but her blows
are now seen to be nothing like as
heavy as were the German thrusts
in August. It is as yet too early to
criticize the Italians fully, but a feel
ing is beginning to be created that
too many offensives have been UNI
dertaken at once. Beside the known
movements of troops toward Trieste
and through the Alpine passes, it is
understood that expeditions are be-
ing sent to the Dardanelles, and there
have been suggestions that large
bodies Of troops are being = ferried
across the Adriatic to Albania and
Dalmatia.
The danger, therefore, seems to be
real that Italy has read too we'll the
lessons of quick offensive. The
Italian general staff may; be over
exerting itself and trying to accom-
*plish too much. >3r..:..
