Gerard Cabling Explanation, and
United States Still Hopes for \
Peaceful Settlement.
Bv THEODORE TILLER.
(Special Correspondent International
News Service.)
WASHINGTON. July 5—The State
Department is still without definite
information concerning the cause of
the unexplained delay in transmission
of the German reply to this Govern
ment’s seeapd note on submarine
warfare.
Reports from Berlin are to the ef
fect that Germany expects to wait at
least another week before sending its
reply, which was looked for about
July 8. It is stated in cabled dis
patches from Berlin that Ambassador
Gerard is sending an explanation of
the delay, but receipt of the Ambas
sador's communication has been de
layed, In the event he has sent such
an explanation.
There has been no disposition on
the part of this Government to hurry
Germany In its reply to the second
American note dealing with the Lusi
tania tragedy and the general subject
of the Kaiser's submarine campaign.
Nevertheless, officials feel that the
American people have been com-
mendably patient in waiting a defi
nite pronouncement of Germany's po
sition and its promise as to what may
be expected in the future. The news,
therefore, that another week Is to be
taken by the Germans is said to have
been displeasing In certain quarters.
It 4s recalled that the first Ameri
can note on the Lusitania went for
ward more than six weeks* ago and
Germany made an unsatisfactory re
ply within two weeks. It has been
almost a month since the second note,
which caused the. Bryan resignation,
was sent by this Government. Up to
this time Germany's deliberation has
caused no complaint in this country,
but it is felt that if a period of delay
now endues, without an excellent ex
cuse. it may create some impatience
among the people.
The suggestion that the delay In the
transmission of the German reply, the
preliminary draft of which was com
pleted several days ago. may be due
to the Armenian Incident, is accepted
with reserve here. The report of Am
bassador Page at London that the
loss of life on the Armenian was due
to the efforts of the officers to escape
has been received and it Is realized
that th*> Armenian case will have lit
tle bearing on the larger Issues be
tween Germany and the United
States, and when all reports are In it
Is possible this Government will have
little upon which to base represents^
tions to Germany. The Armenian
theory, therefore, is practically dis
carded by officials* in speculation con
cerning the delay in transmission of
the German reply.
Officials here are still confident that
the reply will be favorable, and that
an early settlement of the difficulties
growing out of Germany's submarine
warfare is in sight. It is realized,
however, that recent military suc
cesses of the Germans may have
caused the military element to de
mand modifications in the note as
originally framed.

GLEN COVE, N. Y., July 5.—J. Pierpont Morgan,^
shot twice on Saturday by Frank Holt, or Eric Muenter,
say he is also known, passed a comfortable night, and his\ lysi-
cians believe that he is out of danger, although the critical point
will not be passed until to-morrow.
Dr. James H. Markoe and Dr H. H. M. Lyle, the attending
physicians, explained that they will not be able to make any defi
nite statement until Tuesday or later, as the time limit for possi
ble infection in the case of gunshot or stab wounds is four days.
An X-ray examination showed that the bullet which entered
Mr. Morgan’s side, at the abdomen, did not puncture the abdom
inal wall, nor did it break any bones. It has proved very painful
and opiates have had to be administered. His doctors have or-;
dered him to free his mind of business affairs and it may be several
weeks before he returns to the offices of J. P. Morgan & Co.

Although the Russians have be n
falling back approximately five miles

ates the assertion that he did not in

“I only wanted to Influence hint to

I am not for the German nation in tha

America 1s playing a dreadful role in
the European slaughter by selling
arms and ammunition abroad. In the
