that a presentation Of the facts shall
be accompanied by a definite and
final demand for evidence Of Ger
manys good faith and observance OF
her guarantees, but probably not by
any time limit which properly could
be described as an ultimatum.
The evidence collected by Lansing
was nIaced before the cabinet. The
afffdaVfts on the Sussex case which
arrived on the steamer st. Paul were
not before the cabinet, but it is said
the other evidence is so complete that
they are not entirely necessary to the
preparation of the case Of the United
States. The president and cabinet
showed no disposition to let the MeXl-
can situation postpone action on the
submarine question.
