"A disposition to await the return of

was the feeling in official quarters here
today, following publication Of the Ger
mai reply to the American note on
submarine warfare.
Secretary Lansing stated that while
he a no reason to doubt the cor
rectness of the version transmitted in

ton could be given TO the question I'M
til Ambassador Gerard's official copy
reach here late tonight. No word had
been received today beyond the fact
that it was being telegraphed between
Berlin and the American legation at
Copenhagen, whence 1t will be cabled
through London to the United States.
Officials generally We're agreed that
the German reply was far from salts
factory and that tie United States was
faced with another difficult situation
in it's relations with Germany. 1t was
pointed out that the American govern
ment and Germany had practically
reached q deadlock on the law in the
case, evidently neither side being will
ing to recede from its position. The
situation was now thought to resolve
itself entirely into a question of policy,
which depends On President Wilson.

probable course, but it was believed
likely that he would again wait the
