England's so-called violations of interna-
tional law. Indeed, many are hopeful
here that eventually the settlement OF
the submarine issue may be the means of
substantial modification Of the British
blockade program, at least In so far as II
affects American interests.
1t was learned here definitely yesterday
what were the chief considerations which
have moved Germany in her decision TO
restrict the operations of her submarine
comma nders and to adopt a more concili-
atory spirit toward the United States.
In the first place, the Berlin authorities
realized finally that sooner or later the
continuance of the submarine operations
along the original lines must result in an
open break with tho United States. They
realized also that the enormous financial
resources of the United States, IL thrown
openly into the scale with the allies would
be great benefit to Germanys enemies.
especially as they are already talking of
obta lining an enormous credit loan in this
country. Furthermore. Germany's re-
markable successes on the eastern front
had, it is asserted. created a feeling in
Berlin that Germany could afford to make
these concessions now much better than
she could several months ago.
Light also was thrown on the rea-
son why Germany concealed her or
ders to submarine commanders re-
stricting their methods OF operation.
The Berlin officials feared that the
publication of the order would lead
