Washington, June 12:-That Ger.
many's acceptance OF American de-
mands that she guarantees the safety
of United States citizens from SUBJ
marine attacks, may eventually
open the way to a peace parIey was
the widespread belief in official cir
cles today.
President Wilson, In his efforts to
make demand that Germany could
with honor accept. suggested that
this government was willing to trans
NIT its changes between the bell
ligerents that would tend to remedy
conditions now complained of. This
was the first time since the sug-
gestion Immediately after the out
break of the war that the PsTessi PsTessiss den esIIia1 {
has lined the United States up
squarely as distance mediation
force.
The Presidents personal envor,
Colonel E. NJ. House, is due to ar
rive here from London next week
and will give the President much
first hand information He has been
to every beIligerent capital and
talked with the men who know the
hope and belief of the warning
countries
That Secretary of State Bryan'a
retirement from President Wilaos
cal binet was not dne to aaTfsM
fare-up but the result OF & long 80
ries of incidents vas belief witch
had many supporters in official life
today. The reason the secretary gave
for resigning is accepted without
question, but because of the circnm-
stances surrounding it and the real
fzation that for a long time there
had been evidences Of friction. Of
fcals were generally inclined to the
belief that the psychological mo
ment' in this case may have dove
tailed splendidly with his final stand
for his principles as the leading eg-
ponent of pacification in America.
A note of cheerfulness and optimism
was early sounded IN German and Aus
trian quarters in Washington. Just as
when the presidents note OF May ID
was dispatched, those most In SYM
pathy with the Austre-Gernan cause
took the stand that there WIS no rea-
son to fear any trouble between the
United States and Germany. However,
statements In these quarters are not
how given the same value as previously
since the administration has seen Meth
Ing indicating that the views held by
the German embassy here are shaped
by the managers of the war in Berlin
In fact, 1t has seen much convincing to
the contrary Therefore such express
Eions as are now obtainable here as to
the concessions Germany will make IN
response to the presidents latest note
are certain to be discounted In official
circles until these predictions are vert-
fed by the fact
Basis For Optimism.
Two features of the presidents note
are pointed to in pro-German quarters
as affording the basis for an expecta-
ton that Germany viii be found meet
ing the demands of the United States
on the submarine issues. One is the
presidents offer TO transact to Great
Britain anything that Germany may
wish 10 communicate to the British
government; the second is the presf-
dents statement asking that the Ger
man government take action in
respect OF the safeguarding Of Ameri-
can lives and American ships"
Attention was also called to the fact
that, favorably as this offer seemed to
be viewed in German quarters. iE
should not be taken to mean that is
affords Germany a means for shnnfing
aside the issues on which the United
States has called her to account The
president sought particularly to mako
this clear in the note itself. where he
said:
