WOULD CAUSE A DELAY

A new turn was given the situation
with Germany regarding the submarine
issue yesterday with the receipt at the
State Department Of a message from
Ambassador Gerard equivalent to an in
vitation from the German Foreign Office
to engage in informal exchanges prior to
the sending of a reply to President Will
sons note of June 3.
That this move by Germany will re-
suit In a great deal more talk and more
has been understood since the subma-
rine issue was first raised to desire first
to gain time, so that her submarine
operations might be continued without re-
striction. and, second, to engage the
United States in q lengthy discussion.
On the other hand. 1t has been indi-
Gated here recently that the administra-
ton will not be averse to further delay
and discussion as long as II gives any
promise of a more satisfactory result In
the end.
Sent to President.
Ambassador Gerard's message. outlin-
ing the German position as explained to
him at the foreign office. has been trans
mitted to President Wilson. The Presi-
dent himself will dictate the terms Of
what the Ambassador will be authorized
to say in reply to the officials OF the
German foreien Office. Whether the
President would do this at Cornish. or
whether he would delay the sending Of
instructions to Mr.. Gerard until he re-
turns to Washington. SO that he may
discuss the matter with Secretary Of
State Lansing and other advisers. was
not known to officials here yesterday.
Though it is admitted that Germany
has not responded to the Presidents re-
quest for prompt action" II was ap-
parent yesterday that Germany's action
In seeking preliminary exchanges in ad-
vance of the sending Of her note, Is not
at all displeasing to officials here. 1t Is
not understood that the German state
ment Of position promises the granting
of President Wilson's demands. but 1t Ia
felt that informal discussion will make 1t
less likely than ever that there will be
a rupture between the two governments.
Consequently. even though the ex-
may not result In an actual set |
Element. they are expected to minimize
he danger Of the situation as regards |
the friendly relations of the two govern |
nents. 1t is believed. too. that such i
