~CEpARHuRsT, l.. l., July 26.-An offl-

Embassy here said to-day that no con

sinking on Sunday OF the American
freight steamship L~eelanaw by a Ger

the loss of the ship, 1t was stated. are
more in favor of the German Govern

would have been impossible even for a

LATEST AMERICAN NOTE
Only Hope Is Seen in Possible U. S. Protest to Great
~Britain-British Influence Discernible,
Eugen Zimmerman Declares.

I nous In their approval OF the editorial
u~tterances of the press in condemning the
latest American note. | have learned
this through extensive conversations
with representative men In all walks of
life since the text of the note was pub
lished here yesterday morning.
The frst feeling among the Germans
is one OF surprise-surprise that
America has failed to grasp the Ger
man viewpoint and at the phrasing Of
the American note. This feeling even
overshadows the indignation felt in some
quarters over the statement that any
further submarine attacks resulting in
the loss OF American lives will be con-
sidered deliberately unfriendly."
The German people will not sanction
any abrldsement OF the submarine policy,
however much they desire the friendship
of America, In official circles the pos
slbillty that Americans aboard British
war munition carriers may again be
imperilled by submarine attacks is recog-
nized. but is not commented upon.
Despite the air OF hnality about the
latest communication from Washington
political circles here believe that the
negotiations are not at an end Senti-
ment generally favors a reply to America
phrased In very friendly terms. but re-
asserting the German viewpoint.
The newspapers to-day continued to
devote a large part of thor columns To
denunciatlon OF the stana taken by
America.
