WILSON WATCHES
UNDER SEA WORK
NO OFFICIAL ADVICE.
Officials Plainly Worried Over
SituatiOn-ENpect Won
BernStOrff Today.

Long Branch. y. j.. Oct. 9.--PreSi
here expressed deep concern tonigh
over the sinking of the four British
and two neutral steamships off the
American coast by a German subma
Irine but up to a late hour no official
word had been received indicating
that international complications
would follow.
| The government officials were
plainly worried over the situation. I,
was stated that the president would
keep his mind open until definite in
formation is supplied through official
sources and it was stated that a very
thorough investigation would be
made,
With this receipt of word of the
sinking of the vessels so near the
American coast additional import
ance was attached to the visit here to-
morrow of Count Won Bernstorff, the
German ambassador. While the en-
gagement of the ambassador with the
president was made to enable him to
give Mr.. Wilson personal letter
from the German emperor on Polish
relief it was taken for granted that
the activities of the German subarine
would be discussed. Count Won Bern
Istorff will see the president at p. IN.
Count Won Bernstorff has carried
on all his negotiations on submarine
warfare through Secretary Lansing
and Counsellor Polk of the state de-
partment and it was thought unlikely
here that the president would do any
thing to change this method of proce-
dure.
The president has an engagement
tomorrow to see Judge William L.
Chambers, commissioner of the feder-
al board Of mediation and concilia.
Ition, which handled the recently
Threatened nationwide railroad strike
up to the point where the president
intervened. 1t was understood that
the investigation of the railway eigh,
hour law about to be started by tho
board named last week by the presi
dent would be discussed.
William F.. McCoobs Democrati,
nominee for senator from New York
will take lunch with the presiden
Tuesday. They will take up New
York State politics including arrange
ments for the president to deliver
two speeches in the State.
Mr.. Wilson spent most of toda,
quietly at Shadow Lawn. He leaves
Wednesday for Indianapolis. wher,
he will make speeches on Thursday.
Pennsylvania day" will be cele
brated here Saturday and Mr.. Wilson
will deliver an address to large de
legation of Pennsylvanians.

GERMANY READY
FOR TRADE WAR

New York, Oct. 7.-Germany will
be ready for any trade war her enc
mics may wage against her, says
General Henry III. Morgan, United
States consul general at Hamburg.
who has just returned from his post.
The general said that Germany ex-
poets America to be her closest trade
associate after the war and that Ger
man business men are confident
there will then be only the most
friendly business relations between
the two nations.
Germany expects, in fact she re.
aliZes, that for time after the wal
her trade with the nations of the al
lies Will be subject to great restric.
tions," he said. Germany has not
been blind TO the acton taken by the
allies at their recent economic con
ference in Paris. But Germany eX
poets to do big business with Amer.
lea. Regardless OF feelings that NAV
have been engendered by the war
Germany expects cordial trade rela
tions with the United States"
German bankers will be in a posi-.
tion after the war TO assist trade de
velopments in the fullest measure
continued General Morgan. He said
Germany had sent little money ou,
of the country for war expenses as
compared to what the allies had sent
to America and that the German
store of gold will have a tendency to
prevent any crippling of her ability
to met England in struggle for
world trade.
