Ambassador Viewed With Satisfaction Statement That U. S. Would Insist

Washington. Count von Bern storff, German ambassador, left Wash ington to remain away from the capi- tal until instructions from his govern ment or new developments make his return necessary.
 It was learned that the German in. depreciation of the statement in the last American note that the lives of noncombatants may not be put in jeopardy unless a vessel resists or seeks to escape, was expected to satis- fly the German military authorities sisted on an abandonment of subma- rine warfare as such. It was believed this point would be considered con- cession and add weight to that ele- ment of official and public opinion in Germany urging a more conciliatory attitude toward the United States.
 Count von Bernstorff viewed with satisfaction the statemen that the United States would insist upon the freedom of he seas, from whatever quarter violated He hoped this would be accepted in Germany as a proof that the Washington government in- tends to insist upon it's rights with the same firmness toward Great Britain as elsewhere. The German ambassa- dor believed the American attitude might cause American citizens travel ing on British ships to demand that their lives be safeguarded by obed- fence to the warnings of warcraft

 Identification was slow. Scenes at the morgues were affecting. Mothers fell across the biers of children whom they had sent away few hours be fore on what was expected to be q day of pleasure. Men had to summon all their stoical qualities to retain composure as they made their way through rows of corpses looking for missing children or wives.
