Controversy Peace

GERMANY WOULD
MAKE CONCESSION
Ambassador Urges Mediation to Settle
Question Of Freedom OF ssas-con-
WINGED There Will BE No Repetition
Of Lusitania Disaster-confsrs at
Length With Secretary Lansing on
Exchange Of Notes Between Nations.


Bernstorff, the German ambassador
told Secretary Lansing today that he
believed the German reply to the last
American note on submarine warfare
presented opportunity for settlement
of the controversy by further diploma
tic negotiations.
The ambassador conferred with Sec
retary Lansing an hour and talked
later with Assistant Secretary Phil
lips. In the absence of President Will
son, Secretary Lansing was unable to
inform the ambassador what course
the United States would pursue in its
next move, but ne heard with much,
interest Count Won Bernstorffs expla-
nation ct the purposes of the German
government to satisfy public opinion
on the maintenance Of submarine war
fare. and at the same time to main
tain friendly relations with the United
States.
Ambassador Urges Mediation.
The ambassador is personally 'con-
vinced there will be no repetition Of the
Lusitaaia disaster and that German,
submarines now are exercising great
precauticn to avoid incidents which
might infame public opinion In the
United States. With that idea in
mind. no urged that the United States
take advantage Of the tntimations In
Berlin's reply that Germany would be
willing to have the entire question OF
freedom Of the seas mediated with
Great Britain thru the American gov
eminent. Such course. American Of
ficials have indicated, might be more
welcome if accompanied by some as
surance that during thA pAndaney ol
the negotiations American ives and
vessels would b safe from attack and
danger 8.
Dsrnstorff u Encouraged.
Count Won Bernstorff refused to re-
veal what had taken place at today's
conference beyond saying 1t was very
satisfactory interview and that he felt
encouraged to believe the danger Of q
rupture in relations had been reduced
He based his optimism on the view
that the German government did not
want break and would do all in its
power to prevent one. He is confident
that the United States holds SIM
liar view. The ambassador = strongly
Of the opinion that diplomacy will be
able to settle the issue. M
The ambassadors interview was en-
tirely informal. He came without spe-
cial instructions from his government
This, however, is not unusual, as he
would be expected by his foreign office
in such situation to exert every in
fiuence towards bringing about an un-
derstanding.
The ambassador discussed with Mr.
Phillips arrangements originally made
for the safe conduct of DIR. Anton
Meyer Gerhard, who went to Berlin as
a personal envoy of Count Won Bern
storfr. Safe conduct was given for Dr.
Meyer Gerhard with the idea that he
would return to the United States
Now it Is believed he will not return
and that arrangements are being made
to relieve him Of any pledges-he may
have given.s

will head the new naval advisory
board. Mr.. Daniels said general plans
for the new bureau Of invention in the

talked over, but the personnel of the

of warfare are undergoing radical
changes. that what mas been, may 10.
be in the future. 1t is his idea that
the board should be purely advisory
and that navy officers skilled in prac-
tice in their work should continue de-
velopment of ideas, getting the boards
advice where 1t could aid them. Mr..
Edison thought that to serve on this

In the face of strong German forces
withdrew TO their second line Of en-
strenchments.
This move on the part Of the Ger
mans has taken the military critics
completely by surprise. It was gem
orally supposed that General Won
Mackensen would, after being strength
nned. continue his attempt to reach the
Lublin-Chotm railway, thus forcing
