LUSITANIA NOTE NOT
ENTIRELY SATISFACTORY
WASHINGTON, Feb. (Delayed
In transmission.)—Despite the teas
miring statements given out concerning
the German Lusitania note, it is by
no means certain that affaire are In
such satisfactory posture as the state
department Intimates. It is seemingly
' quite apparent that Germany has not
conceded quite everything that the
United States desires and it la also
disclosed that Lansing and the presi
dent have had some very serious and
lengthy conferences in which the note^
was the sole topic of discussion.
In a general sense Washington char
acterlzes the situation as one extremelj
grave and altogether uncertain. The
intention of Germany to offer no more
concessions seems clear and the answei
presented by the Berlin government
rcfera to the negotiations as "having
reached a crisis.” This la generally
taken to mean that Oermany has no
Intention of going farther than the
text of the note. A feeling of uncer
talnty prevails in official circles but
there Is also a deep undertone of ex
pcctatlons that the two government!
will eventually be able to And a com
mon ground of agreement.
