ambassador, on Instructions from Ber-
lin, verbally informed Secretary Lansing
today that the German government
had accepted the principle that pas
senger liners should be warned before
attack by submarines.
Count Won Bernstorn was informed
that the United States could not accept
as final an oral transmission OF the
German point Of view. Secretary Lam
sing said he would withhold comment
until a written memorandum was re-
ceived
Ambassador Bernstorff went directly
to the German embassy to prepare a
written statement
esrnstorff Believes Controversy Ended
Count Won Bernstorff believes that a
formal statement from Berlin only re-
mains to settle the entire controversy
beween the two countries.
Germany cannot admit on partial
evidence. it is said. that the Arabic
was sunk by q German submarine, but
1t Is confidently believed that whatever
develops the imperial government will
give concrete assurances correspond
ing to the geenral statements already
made that the Arabic was not de-
stroyed in accordance with any plan
or desire Of the German admiralty.
Today's declaration. 1t is said. in
German quarters. stands without
|Anaendinant or restriction and 1t Is felt
70 b n complete compliance with the
|Aema1Sao Of the United States. It was
freely admitted, however. that the Ger
man government win avail itself of
President Wilson's offer Of co-opera-
ton In a discussion Of the question of
the freedom Of the seas.
To Reopen Negotiations.
The immediate result of today's de-
velopments is to open the resumption
Of negotiations between the United
States and Germany for an agreement
upon the rights Of neutral shipping on
the high seas. The state department
had decided to have no further ex-
change of notes with the German gov
ernment. as officials concluded that the
apparent disregard of American repre-
sentations as shown by the sinking Of
the Arabic demanded severance Of
diplomatic relations. unless some satis-
factory explanation was volunteered
by Germany. It was felt that 1t was
undignifed for the state department
to solicit such an explanation. Secre-
tary Lansing pointed out that the note
delivered today appears to be- recog-
milton oI the iuIlIaI..cc::::. -! r-srcsc!cc sc-
which the United States has contended
1t is understood that the next steps
will be to clear up any misunderstand-
ings as to the extent Of Germanys ac-
quiescence. -
Must Apply to All.
Officials noted that orders to subma-
rine commanders applied to liners.
While that probably will be regarded
as applying to all passenger ships, the
American contention went farther and
asserted the same privilege of protec-
ton against unwarmed attacks for ali
merchant ships on which neutrals
might be travelling either as passengers
or part Of the crew.
