 FIRST REPORT ON THE
 LAST AMERICAN NOTE

Washingtop June 16.-Ambassador Gerard cabled today his first informal report on how the last American note ;o Germany was received by official Berlin. He spoke of it's reception as friendly and courteous and said the unanimous opinion seemed to be that the document afforded a basis for dip lomatic negotiation and settlement.
 The ambassador had no intimation as to when reply would be received or what its specific character would be.
 Officials here have been much en- couraged by the manner in which the German press and officials have re- garded the American communicat ton, and believe the way toward an under standing Is much clearer than 1t has heen The arrival of pr. Anton Meyer Gerhard in Norway was noted here to- day and it is supposed he will lay be- fore the German government before the end of the week the material from Count Von Bernstorff. the German ann bassador. which it is thought will hclp toward clarifying the situation and producing an amieable adjustment of the differences.

GERHARD LOOKS FOR
 PEACEFUL OUTCOME
Envoy to Kaiser Wilhelm Says Differences Between United States and Germany Will Be Strengthened Out-Talks
 of the Bryan Wilson Rupture

London, June 16.-(e:47 p. m.,--A peaceful settlement of the questions which have arisen between the United States and Germany is predicted by Dr. Anton Meyer Gerhard. who is on his way from the German embassy at Washington to Berlin to explain the situation to the German government. An interview with Dr. Meyer Gerhard in the Frankfurrer Zeitung forwarded from Alnsterdam by a Reuter- coires- pondent was obtained yesterday at Christiansand. Norway. when the steamer on which pr. Meyer Gerhard wAs . passenger touched there.
 "The conflicting views existing be- tween Berlin and Washington regard ing tho LualtAnia ffair rest on . mis- undsrstanding ant 3awill be settled

 peacefully" he is quoted as saying.
 The conflict between President Will son and Secretary Bryan Is of old or isin and arose from quite different causes than the Lusitania affair
 The breach was rendered inevitable by the independent procedure of the President who rejected the counsels of his responsible minister and draft ed the latest American note to Ger many according to his own ideas As President Wilson framed his reply without even consulting Mr. Bryan, the latter had no other recourse but to request that he be released from of- flee.
 The tension between the two must therefore be regarded as entirely a do- nestle affair. The feeling of the Amer ican people and government toward Germany is not at all bellicose; on the contrary. there prevails an absolute desire for peace
