Li EH UN (Via Thu Hague), June
11. Slight erruia in caoie (runs
mission from Washington have de
laved the deliviiv of the becouu
American note regarding the tor
pedoing of the Lusitania
Though the coded test reached
the American cmbas:-> late vester
day, the ticrmau foreign office this,
morning was without «»ttl« lal infoim
ation of tiie note’s contents. It is
possible that Ambassador (Jetaid
may be forced to cable to Washing
ton foi verification of Certain
phtasts that are In douhL In tmit
event, the note will not he In the
hands of Foreign Secretary Non
Jagow* until tonight or tomorrow
morning.
Basing its editorial on an tinofll
clul summary of the content* of the
not* 1 , the lajkal Anselger today took
an optimistic view ot the situation
between the United States and <»er
many.
"We believe the note contains the
foundation and possibilities for fur

Anrciger. "Our military Interests
and our standpoint of Justice, which
we must and will maintain, will not
hinder sn honorable and successful
discussion of the facts regarding
the l.usitanla ra«o ”
The resignation of Secretary
Ilryan continues to form the prin
cipal morsel of conversation among
Americans here. A report that
Colonel K. M. House, who la en

Bryan was widely discussed hero.

The report quotes one of these
papers as saying:
“England does not seem in
