Left to Future. Cabinet members went over the unofficial text carefully with the president and while thev uniformly re I fused to discuss it, they reflected the j view that a break has been averted; that Germany's new assurances would j be accorded the test of time, notwitfij standing the reference to the action j Germany expects the United States i to take against Great Britain's re; straints on neutral trade. They expressed this view with full realization of the differences of opinion 011 what ' constitutes a peaceful merchant ship entitled to the protection of International law and of the president's I i steadfast deermination not to permit | the interests of the United States with | one of the belligerents to become entangled with those.of another. The United States only recently, declaring its views on the rights of merchant ships on the high seas, recognized and provided for the condition under which Germany charges British merchant ships, "by orders of the British admiralty, actually are acting as naval war vessels in attacking submarines. Another Open Point. Germany in her. .note "reserves complete - liberty of decision" should the United States fail to prevail upon Great Britain to bring her practices^ into conformity with international-law. The official view i& that trie l nitea states for some time nas been and now is conducting diplomatic correspondence with Great Britain on that subj?:., and the success or failure of the negotiations and Germany's consequent action must necessarily remain for the future.

Secretary Lansing stated today that it was possible the state department might ask for official copies of the original orders. The new orders, however, apparently are regarded as ' meeting the president's demand for a declaration and abandonment of the present practices of submarine warfare. Officials seem agreed that the president's demand that Germany al, so "effect" such an abandonment only could be answered by time. Difference of Yiew.

' At the state department, after the situation had been thoroughly discussed at the cabinet meeting, it was stated that because of the length of the note, the time required for digesting it carefully and the necessity | of having at hand the official text for i the preservation of all shades of meaning which might be obscured in translation or in wireless transmission, it practically was certain that the president would not reach his deA t cision before inext week.

Tillman does not like some of the house customs, and today expressed himself plainly to that effect. *He has been in the senate many years and known everywhere on that side of the capitol from a to z, but he admits that when he 'visit's the house he is lost. Today he went to the house to hear speeches on the 80th. birthday of "Uncle Joe'' Cannon and lost himself, became bewildered, and had to secure a friendly pilot before he got back to his own quarters.

"The senate locks the house out of ; its executive sessions and the house ' locks senators in when it has a roil call. I have found that their locking doors is'about as effective as ours. . i The senators read the proceedings of executive sessions in the newspapers, and they are usually quite accurate; and the house locking the doors to keep absentees from coming in is a humbug too. The only satisfying recollection connected with the "visit is 'Uncle .Toe' with a red rose in his button-hole, looking as young and dapper as if he were 16 instead of 80."
