WASHINGTON, June $40 supple-
men, and reinforce his ofiicial report
10 the German Government on the at
utude of the United States In the
present critical situation the German
Ambassador Is scnding a special repre-
sentative to Berlin.
This representative OF Count Won
Bernstorff is to start for Germany at
once In order that ne may reach there
% the heels OF the note which Presi-
dent Wilson Is preparing to send to
the German Government. probably this
week. II is hoped that what he will
tel the Berlin authorities on behalf
4 the German Ambassador and on his
own account will lead them to realize
the advisabi.lty Of meeting the United
States directly on the issues involved
In the German submarine operations.
The German Ambassador has
selected for this important mission a
German Of considerable prominence In
the United States. He will thus be
able to present not only the views Of
Count Won Bernstorn in q direct. per.
,ons manner not possible In cable
reports. but also his own estimate of
the situation based on his own UNDER
standing Of the American people and
the conditions existing in this country.
Il Is also expected that this man will
BE- able to communicate to the ma
Iority Of The influential men in Berlin
On understanding Of the situation.

Germany a; the instance Of Count Won
Bernstorff Is an American citizen of
German descent or a subject OF the
Kaiser, but II Is doubted BY many that

such mission.
This action on the part Of the Ger
man Ambassador, while regarded in
oiicia! quarters as q most commend
sb" effort to better the understanding
IN Berlin, is not expected to delay the
