REPLY BY AMERICA
NOT YET FORWARDEI
ANOTHER BIG SHIP -i

ANSWER TO GERMANY’S NOTE
IS STILL IN PRESIDENT
t WILSON'S H.yvi>s.
Attoeiated Prrtt Dispatch
Washington, June 8.—The Amer-
ican rejoinder to the recent German
reply concerning the sinking of
the Lusitania still was in the hands
of President Wilson today. It had
been returned to him with some
changes following a careful exami-
nation toy the government’s legal
office rs.
The sending of the note to Berlin
was- being awaited with iulense in-
terest here, particularly In diplo-
matic circles. Dr. Constantin
Duuiha, the Austrian ambassador,
left today for his summer home at
Lenox, Mass. Count Bernstorff, the
German ambassador, who will go
to Cedarhurst, L. L, for the sum-
mer, is waiting here pending the
dispatch of the note.
When the document will be for-
warded was not definitely known
early today. It was expected to be
given further consideration at to-
day’s cabinet* meeting. It was said,
however, that it would be sent when
the president Is satisfied with its
phraseology.
Reports' that any Influence had
arisen to delay the transmission of
the note are officially declared to
be without foundation. On the
contrary, it was said, there has
been no intentional delay but
that the document had required
considerable scrutiny and careful
consideration. Principal responsi-
bility of the delay had been the
president’s wish to so phrase the
note as to leave no room for doubt
or further argument as to the
American government’s position.
The note was discussed by the
cabinet for two hours .today, Bryan
arriving at the cabinet # meeting
about an hour late. Tumulty an-
nounced afterward the cabinet had
put the note in final form and it
would go to Berlin tomorrow.

81'PER-DREADJfOUGHT ARIZONA
WILL TAKE THE WATER
ON JUNE !».
Attoeiated Prrtt Dispatch
Washington, June 8.*-The thirty-
ninth battleship built for the Ameri-
can navy since 1892 will take the
water Juno 19 when ihe super-
dreadnought Arizona slips from the
ways at New York Navy yard. Com-
pared to the. first American battle-
ship. the Indiana, Irtnehed In 1893,
the Arizona will be nearly twice as
long, half again u wide and of three
times as grant displacement.
Against the Indiana’s four 13-lneu
guns and eight 8-Inch, the Arizona
will carry twelve 14-inch and twenty
two 5-inch rlfleo, the same arma-
ment as her sister ship, tne Pennsyl-
vania, recently launched at Newport
News.
In addltlm to tho great size of
the new ship's main baitery, the
guns are of forty-five calibre . as
against tho 35 calibre of the Indi-
ana’s thirtepn-lncjfaAni.e, Identical
with those aboaJHws famous old
Oregon, which [flayed their part in
ihe battle of Santiago. With the
fourteen* of the Arizona In her
turrets, the Oregon enald have
halted any one of tho fleeing Spanish
ships almost without leaving her
station. The Arizona's guns have a
range, oven at the low elevation
of American navy mountings, of fif-
teen miles or more against eight or
nine miles for the old thirteens.
The Arizona will be the fourth
battleship built by the United
States in its own navy yard at New
York. The others were the Con-
necticut, the dreadnaupht Florida,
and the super-dreadnaught New
York, at present 6ne of the largest
swiftest and most powerful of
American fighting craft. Against
the New York’s displacement of 27.-
000 tons, however, the Arizona will
displace 31,400 tons and will
measure GOO feet in length and 97
feet 8 inches in width. She will
mount twelve 14-inch guns to the
ten 14s carried by the Texas and
they will be carried three to a tur-
ret as aboard the Pennsylvania.
Immediately upon the launching
of the Arizona the keel of the navy
department’s greatest, experiment in
naval construction, me. electrically
driven super-dreadnatopht Califor-
nia, will be laid It tn4 New York
yard. She will be nearly a thous-
and tons heavier than the Arizona
although carrying the same equip-
ment and arrangement of guns; but
is expected to develop greater speed
than the 21 knots desired of the
Arizona,
Comparing the most recent gov-
ernment built battleship to the first
turned out, navy officials point to
tho ,fact. that although the Arizona
has twelve guns to the Connecticut’s
four and displaces 15,400 tons more
water, being nearly twice as large,
she will carry only 915 men as
aginst tho 1 ,oi2 needed to handle
tb« smaller ship. This lc due to the
Improvement In mechanical applian-
ces for battleships in the last decade
and also to the fact that oil has been
substituted for coal as fuel, decreas-
ing the necessary foreroom force,
and that only two sizes of guns com-
pose her armament against tho four
aizes aboard tho Connecticut. The
result is a reduction in ammunition
handling forces. • ,
The Arizona will be sponsored by
Miss Esther Ross of Preston. Ari-
zona. nominated by Governor Hunt
of Arizona. As sho looks in the
water immediately after the laurcn-
irg, the ship will have cost the gov-
ernment $7,425,000. An even great-
ed sum will go former guns and
armor, according to the navy depart-
ment, under the prices paid for the
Pennsylvania’s offensive and defen-
sive equipment. It was in dealing
with contracts for tho Arizona's ar-
mor that Secretary Daniels demand-
ed competitive bidding and succeed-
ed in effecting the saving.

Romo, June ", via Paris, June 8.
8:40 a. m.—A statement slgneu
by Gen. Cadornn, chief of the gen-
eral staff, issued last lght at gen-
eral Italian headquarters says:
“Our advanced troops proceed
methodically to take possession of
the most important positions be-
yond the frontier all along the line,
meeting with slight resistance. At
the same time a closely contested
artillery duel continues on the pla-
teaus of Lavaronno and Folgaria.
“The same is the case all along
tiie Isanzo river from Caporetto to
the sea, where we are in close con-
tact wtth the enemy. Strong ad-
vance formation protected by power-
ful artillery actually have leached
this important line with the object
of establishing themselves solidly at
th£ most suitable passages and of
installing there bridge heads com-
manding the bunks, thereby ensur-
ing safe crossings."
"Beyond the Caporetto -mountain*,
along the heights and in the valleys,
our troops are continuing their
heavy fighting of June 4, 5, 6
against the Austrian positions on
the opposite slope. We have gained
firm footholds on both banks of the
river and are threatening Tolmino.
“Along the lower course of the
lsotozo, after spanning . the river
with military bridges under the eyos
of the enemy, large detachments of
our troops, preceded by a recon-
noltering force of cavalry, crossed
to the eastern hank, where I they
now are fortifying themselves. By
this maneuver we are assured alon,>
the Isonzo front the same liberty of
action as on our other fronts. This
is important because heavy detach-

ployed easily when the time Is 'ripe.
Our losses have been relatively

Washington, June 8.—Govern-
ment officials today viewed with
keen interest effortB of Gen. Fran-
cisco Villa to meet Gen. Venustlano
Carranza in conference to consider
president Wilson's recent communi-
cation demanding a settlement ot
Mexican affairs. This move on Rie
part of the northern leader, wMch
his secretary announced last night
Villa was ready to make, was con-
sidered by officials as tne most Im-
portant Mexican development sine*
tue president's statement.
unofficial advices received herd
said Villa had decided, pending a
conference, to propose a. trace, for
the purpose of “preventing further
sacrifices in the southern republics
which might produce intervention."
Obregon’s troops, howevef, -'aci
cording to Villa’s secretary, attack-
ed when Villa ordered a retirement
In keeping with this suggestion'
Col. Enrique Perez Rul, secretary to
Villa, is quoted as saying he had
been ordered from Chihuahua to
Aguas Calientes to form the note to
Carranza and the reply his chief
worn,, send to President Wilson.
Tne action of Villa is the first
step of an official nature yet taken
by the leaders with & view to com-
posing Mexico’s domestic troubles
since the president's warning. Offi-
cials here had awaited with mote
tuan ordinary interest some indica-
tion as to the effect ^of the state-
ment on the heads of the warring
factions in Mexico. They are
watching the latest turn with r*-
neweu hope of ultimate restoration
of peace.
Considering Villa's Reply.
Jnortatn! Press Dispatch
El Paso, Tex., June g,—Consider-
ation ot the contents of the forth-
coming reply of Gen. Francisco Vil-
la to President Wilson's warning
was to be undertaken today by
members of villa’s cabinet at Aguas
Calientes, according to a message
received last night from Col. Esl-
rique Perez Rul. It was als6 ex-
pected tuat Villa's advisers would
discuss an invitation to Gen. Car-
ranza to agree on. a neutral terri-
tory to consider suggestions for ths
pacification of Mexico contained |n
Prpidtent Wilson’s note. ■ Ho#
soon these documents might be
completed a.... reach the border
was not intimated.
Col Rul’s declaration that Villa's
troops had withdrawn from Leon to
Lages, 38 miles north, and that
fighting had been resumed when
Gen. Obregon attacked the retir-
ing Villa forces, was believed hers
to explain at least partly the con-
flicting reports of Obregon and Vil-
la successes that have emanated
from various sources In the last
twodays. ^oservers here were in-
clined to believe that neither aide
had gained a decisive advantage.
In capturing Silao last week Villa
used 7,000 cavalry, according to
Rul’s statement, and forced 10,-
000 Obregon troops to retreat in
scattered groups toward Irapuato,
Penjamo, La Piedad and Guadala-
jara.
Rul maintains that Villa captur-
ed and retains quantities of muni-
tions taken at Silao.
