Berlin, June 15.-The Lokal An
seiger prints a noteworthy article on
Ierman-American relations by its
general director, Eugen Zimmerman,
which, coming on the heels Of FRI
days conciliatory article, is taken to
mean that influential representatives
Of politics and business are standing
behind the paper, and exerting their
efforts for a German-American under
standing.
President Wilson, says Herr
Zimmerman, desires nothing more
and nothing less than an understand
ing between Germany and England,
concerning the forms of maritime
warfare. which, at the same time, will
insure the safety OF American passen-
gers The task is not light, consider
ing the development of naval warfare.
but 1t can be solved, II all interests
display good will
A new form might be given to ma
val warfare, Herr Zimmerman con-
tinues. on the basis that passengers
on ships with special marks of iden-
tification. and sailing under the gov
ernment guarantee that they are un-
armed. should receive proper consid-
GRAFTON at the hands of submarine
commanders.
The compromise must also involve
he withdrawal of the British admi-
ralty's instructions to merchantmen,
to attack and ram submarines, at
sight.
The article ventures to indicate f0f
the first time to the German public
that there may be second side to
the question of arms, on which the
press has been for months harping.
The editor of the Tageblatt, Theo.
dor Wolff. also publishes an article
in favor of policy aimed at the
avoidance of new conflicts and the
bringing in of new adversaries.
The Nachrichten OF Frankfort pro-
poses. as method for modifying the
hardships OF submarine warfare. that
the United States government consent
to the stationing OF German commits
sioners in American ports to examine
ships sailing for Europe, so that
those which carry no ornaments, mu-
nitions or troops. may be exempt from
attack by German submarines.
