PLUNCERS To
OPERATE ALONG
CANADA COAST
VESSELS LEAVING HALIFAX
AND QUEBEC TO BE VIC
TINS OF TORPEDOES
CBy Associated Press.)

New York, July 10-Germany plans
TO carry her submarine warfare into
American waters, according to re-
serve officer of the German navy, who
is understood to be cognizant of the
intentions of Admiral Won Tirpitz,
chief of staff of the German admiralty.
The plan, as outlined, provides for the
establishment of submarine bases off
the Canadian coast with view to
sinking every vessel leaving Halifax
and Quebec for British ports.
The scheme can be carried out, the
Germans are sure without any ques-
tion arising as to the legality of the
proceeding or the violation of the Mon
roe doctrine The latter can not be
affected, it is pointed out, because it
can be shown that the establishment
of such bases would be in the enemy's
territory and would not be done with
view to territorial conquest Also no
question of the neutrality of the united
States would be involved.
That the German plan is not only
feasible, but comparatively simple, is
by Simon Lake, president of
the Lake Torpedo Boat company, of
Conn. Officers of the
United States submarine service think
it is the logical step for Germany to
take.
Further United States naval Of
'icers in command of war vessels say
hat there is little that could be done
o thwart the Germans. The only |
that could be employed. they
'ay, are embraced in the use of de-
troyers. and air craft. neither of
which has proved highly effective.

Washington, July 10.-Officials to-
day accepted the press d@patchei
concerning the German note as
verification of earlier impressions
that Germany has refused to give
the United States the assurance oi
respect for neutral rights asked.
With renewal of discussion, the
possibility of severance of diplo-
matte relations with Germany, Is
freely predicted.
Officials found little on which the
negotiations may be further pro-
longed.
Little comment on the course to
be pursued is expected until the
president takes the initiative.
Secretary Lansing will take the
German note to the President a;
Cornish as soon as the official text
arrives.
The president will then decide
when he will return to Washington.
The president telephoned the
White House this morning that the
note be brought to him.
Officials generally are agreed that
the reply is far from satisfactory. 1t
Is pointed out that the American
government and Germany have prac-
tically reached a deadlock on the
law in the case.
Evidently neither side is willing
to recede from its position.
The situation is now thought to re-
solve itself entirely into question
of policy which depends on the pres
ident.
Opinions are varied as to the prse-
ident's probable course, but it was
believed likely that he will again
wait for the crystalization Of public
sentiment of the country and en-
deavor to interpret the wishes OF
the American people.
