The President said the American re- Joinder, however, would not be many days delayed. lie spoke of having studied the official text last night and his intention to have a preliminary discussion with his cabinet at to-da.v's meeting. Calm in his bearing, and showing none of the strain of International problems before him, the President re ceived the Washington correspondents as Is his usual custom on Tuesday.

The. pressure for that course has been great in many quarters since the sink ing of the liUsitania. Some friends of the President have indicated that he would not hesitate to adopt It In the event of a final unsatisfactory an swer. Diplomatic nonintercourse, however, would not necessarily be fol lowed, It was pointed out to-day by any other step, unless American rights were again flagrantly violated. As the cabinet officers arrived at the White House, none would express an opinion, but all reflected the grav ity of the situation.
