Whereupon Pastor Weidhaas lost his

Washington, May 17.-Ambassador
Gerard at Berlin today notified the
state department Of the delivery Of the
American note to the German foreign
office. It was the first official notice
that the note had arrived at its des-
tination.
Diplomats friendly to Germany be-
lieved Germany's answer might be an
offer to suspend attacks without warn
ing on merchant ships If the United
States would renew it's formal pro-
posal for unrestricted passage for food
stuffs to Germany's civilian popula
ton.
Officials declare the United States
will not recede from it's right under in
ternational law, but intimates that II
Germany acquiesces In the American
position, the United States probably
will press it's contention Of its right to
ship foodstuffs to Germany.
1t Is thought probable that an agree
ment might be reached giving definite
assurance that no merchant ships leav-
ing United States ports would be
armed, thus making 1t impossible for
submarine commanders to exercise the
right OF visit and search with impun-
ity.
Counter Demands Likely.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador here, denied that he had
received any official intelligence con-
corning the action of his government
and said he could not vouch for the
accuracy Of the unofficial reports en-
anating from Berlin.
That Berlin is likely to make cOun-
ter demands upon the United States,
however, is known to be the belief OF
German officials generally. One OF
them pointed out that the president In
his note left an opening for such a
move which Berlin would not be like
ly to overlook.
It was pointed out that the presi-
dent with polite indirectness merely
said that the American government
confidently expects Germany to dis
avow the killing OF Americans, to
make reparation therefor. and to prom
ise to prevent recurrence of the out
RACES
"Expects" America to Act.
This leaves the way open for Ger
many to say that 1t is ready to fulfill
this expectation Of the American gov
ernment. which Berlin Is gratified to
find is now aroused to the stern neces-
sity Of enforcing international law, and
that 1t also Confidently expects" that
the United States will require Great
Britain to prevent the recurrence" OF
interference with the shipment of food
to the noncombatant population OF
Germany.
In addition to this, Germany may
say that it confidently expects the
United States to prevent the recur-
renee" of the shipment of munitions
Of war to the allies on passenger
steamers
1t would occasion little surprise ii
Germany, in making such counter de-
mands, should convey strong intima-
ton that unless the United States
should proceed as aggressively against
British as against German violations OF
International law there would be nc
other recourse but the resumption OF
the submarine warfare upon enemy
commerce. Notwithstanding Its perils

the canons Of the general convention
make no provision for such situation
