plain the viewpoint OF his government
The ambassador recommended TO his
Foreign Office the inclusion in the las,
note OF those paragraphs expressing
the hope that the United States and
Germany would work together for the
adoption OF the principle Of freedom of
the seas. He places much Significance
on the expressed Willingness of Ger

states on this question, and thinks
that the way is open for the United
States to mediate the entire contro-
versy on the rules Of maritime war

STRONGEST OBSTACLE

The belief Is growing here, based on
admissions of high administration Of

AT early settlement of the points in

ly d!savow the sinking of the Lusi-
tania and TO offer some form OF repara-
tion for the loss of American lives
Consequently. the view is taken that
If Germany would go this far. the ad-
ministration would consider thar il

its next communication would take an
attitude less severe than that which
IL assumed In the other two notes
