Berlin, July 12.-The under foreign
secretary here told the United Press
today that Germany was willing to
make further concessions to the United
States.
These concessions, he said, would
consist in allowing several of the big
interned German liners to sail under
the American flag until the war ends.
Germany, however, was not willing to
abandon her submarine policy.
The proposal in regard to the in
termed liners would be dependent upon
the United States asking for it anu
upon the willingness of the ship own
ers to accede to it though it was be-
lieved that there would be no doubt
as to the attitude of the latter.
The under secretary said he thought
some Of Germany's spirit toward the
United States was lost in trans
lating the latest note into English
He called attention to one or two in
stances in which the shades of mean
ing were altered in the translation,
thus changing the tone of the docu-
ment.
