At the German embassy it was said
that no word had been received from
Berlin TO indicate how soon a reply to
the American note might be looked for.
II became known today that Count Won
Bernstorff. German ambassador, pointed
out TO Secretary Bryan in his conference
yesterday that Germany desired to en-
courage American shipping. This was
clearly shown by his government, he g.
serted, when shortly after the beginning
of the war Germany expressed its will
ingness to accept the declaration of Lon
odn as the law of the seas applicable
during the war. It was Great Britain, he
told the secretary, who had declined the
suggestion of the United States that the
declaration of London be adopted by al
ligerents and neutrals, thereby compeil-
ing the United States to announce its
purpose of being guided by the general
International law on the subject of naval
war.
Whatever suffering might come to neu-
tral shipping as q result of the German
decree declaring the waters around the
British Isles to be in war zone territory

Washington, Feb. 14-Press reports an
nouncing that the German Emperor had
invited Ambassador Gerard to confer
with him on the battle front was receiv-
OF the United States government II was
an indication that the American note had
proven a question Of supreme import
ance. II was thought the Emperor had
decided on q conference so quickly be-
cause only four days remain before the
German admiralty's proclamation for ,
submarine campaign on merchant ships
goes into effect. II was believed here
that the ambassador might explain at
length the American viewpoint, as he is
reported TO have done in a conference
with the imperial chancellor immediately
after the note was presented at the for
eign Office. In many quarters it was
supposed that one of the chief purposes
OF the informal conferences with Ambas
sador Gerard was to elicit from the
American government some understand
ing as to its position regarding ship
ments Of conditional contraband destined
to Germany's civilian population. mas
much as the German sea war zone proc
lamation is described as a retaliatory
step against the Allies because of the
alleged interference by the latter with
shipments of foodstuffs destined for the
population of Germany, the growing i'm
portance OF this question was admitted
on all sides here. There is every reason
to believe that it will be one of the chief
points made by the United States in its
next communication TO Great Britain on
the question Of contraband
