The administrations earnest

Bernstorff. He fully reported the
situation to Won Jagow.
The state department reiterat-
ed the contention that Germany
must withdraw her submarines
and confine attacks to warships,
pending the result of the Ameri-
can note.
Sen. Kern called at the White
House early and said that con-
gress was not disposed to discuss
the situation, thus leaving the
president without embarrass-

In reply to criticisms like Sen.
Cores, who said the president
was risking war because a few
rash citizens insisted on travelling
on armed ships, the White House
pointed out that the controversy
had shifted entirely from an
armed merchantmen angle in the
oussex affair. This vessel was
unarmed and was not a merchant
man.

Won't Yield

LONDON, April 20.-officials
here do not believe Germany will
yield to the American ultimatum
to cease its submarine warfare.
The opinion here today in dip
iomatic circles is that a break
between the United States and
Germany is certain and that war
is a strong possibility.
This view Is based on the IA Il
that Germany has emphasized
the submarine as the most ef.
fective weapon Of warfare against
England.
1t is believed the kaiser cannot
afford to concede anything essen
tial, though he may offer conces-
sion, hoping to delay events.
The British attitude ranges
from quiet satisfaction to jubila-
ton. II is believed the note is
likely to influence other neutral
nations.
