FURTHER COMMUNICATION
 COMING FROM GERMANY.
Outlining Submarine Policy satisfae-
 tory to the United States.

Washington, Aug. 26.-Two import ant developments today in the rela- tions between the United States and Germany further reduced the tensity of the situation and were taken to foreshadow a declaration from Ber- lin on the subject of marine warfare which would eliminate that source of discord between the two countries.
 Count Won Bernstorff, the German ambassador, called upon Secretary Lansing and informed him that the statement presented Tuesday by direc- ton of the Berlin foreign off1ce, saying there as no intent to cause loss of American lives when the White Star liner Arabic was destroyed, was in tended to imply that German sub1ea- rine commanders had been ordered to attack no more merchantmen without warning.
 Ambassador Gerard reporting from Berlin the substance of conference with Foreign Minister Won 5agow, con- firmed The Associated Press des- patches Of earlier in the day that Ger many. even before the sinking of the Arabic had adopted a policy design ed to settle completely the whole sub marine problem. The state depart Ger&rGi's despatch. but the optimism immediately reflected at the state de- partment and the White House was taken as convincing proof that the situation, once threatening a break In the friendly relations between the two countries is on the way to a settle ment.
 The moro hopeful officials thought the crisis had passed and inferred that the views which Ambassador Won Bernstcrff had been urging upon Der lin ever since the sinking of the Lu- sitania had prevailed with the support of the liberals in Germany, who have been opposing the anti-American pol icy of the conservatives, Secretary Lansing was reserved, awaiting some definite declaration from Berlin, and the saHno attitude was reelected at the White House, where it was indicated that President Wilson, encouraged at the prospect of averting break, stin as keeping his mind open until all the details are cleared up.
 One fact as outstanding in, the whole situation, It was that O further communication is coming from Ger many outlining policy which, it is said, Is expected to be satisfactory to the United States. It is understood that Germany will announce sus- pension of her submarine warfare on passenger carrying ships and that sub marine commanders win be instructed not to sink merchantmen without pending a diplomatic discussion of a proposal for a modus vivendi for re- laxations of the British blockade against neutral commerce.
