Note To KAISER
PLAN OF WILSON
President and Lansing Discuss
U-Boat Warning.
(By the international News serviceJ

(By the international News serVice'D
Asbury Park, n. j., Oct. U.-President
Wilson and Secretary Lansing. of the
State Department, kept the lights burn
ing t Shadow Lawn until a late hour
tonight while they discussed the situation
created by the active operations of Ger
man submarines in American waters.
The conference is expected to result
in a note to Germany suggesting that
a continuation of the submarine warfare
SO close to the shores of the United
States might easily endanger the exist
ing friendly relations between the two
countries.
Such a communication would serve two
purposes, it Is said;
/. Germany would be asked by indirec-
ton to recall the submarines from this
side Of the Atlantic Ocean.
>. The Kaiser's government would be
warned that the loss Of a single American
life as a result OF a violation Of the
agreement on cruiser warfare would mean
a definite break in diplomatic relations.
The note would not have a basis in
international law. Neither would it be
an insinuation thai Germany has SO far
violated any right by placing slbma-
rines of the New England coast and
sinking British vessels. 1t would be in
tended as a precaution against "acci-
utntS SuCn as OIIeH IeaO 10 war.
1t was pointed out by persons who talk
ed with President Wilson today that a
communication somewhat similar in char
acter and purpose was sent to Great
Britain more than a year ago when a
patrol of allied warships was established
just outside of New York harbor.
President Wilson Is said TO have re-
iterated today the opinion that the COM
manders of the German sU Ubmarines now
in this vicinity have strictly observed
all existing agreements.
He is known, however, to view the sit
uation with alarm

will be held responsible for any conflicts
that may arise between American sub
marines and allied warships on account
of the failure OF the allies to recognize
the nationality Of the American boats.
