By The United Press.


WASHINGTON. July 16.- Secretary
of State Lansing and the kaiser's
Ambassador, Count Won BernstOrfi,
conferred this morning concerning
the strained German-AmeriCan rela-
tiOns.
On one side, there we're suggestions
of American mediation between Ger
many and Great Britain relative TO
methods of naval Warfare-a develop
ment which. it vas hinted, might even
lead into negotiations for peace. On
the other side, indications appeared
that failing to give affairs a twist in
the direction he wanted them to take,
the Kaiser had in mind a plan of
attempting to cOerce the United
States which contained the grayest
threat of trouble.
The German admission of RESPONSE
bility for torpedoing the Nebraskan,
with it's expression of regret and. Of
fer of reparation, was regarded as
meant to be conciliatory.
The fact that German submarine
commanders have ceased the un-
warned destruction of merchant
ships. though still defending it in
theory, was also believed significant
of policy adopted with a view tc
satisfying the United States without
too much loss of face" to the
Kaiser.
The almost profusely friendly form
of the German note carried due
weight, even if it did not conced,
what America asked.
Finally. the plainest. though mo-
yet official hints. had been thrown out
that Germany was prepared to max,
more concessions and would like {,
secure American cooperation il

methods of warfare and perhaps o
initiating a movement which woul,
