Danger of Break Seen
in Reports from Berlin
Cerards Messages Are Discouragng- Washington TX
poets to Learn Nature of Reply Early his
Week-Relatons with Vienna in Balance

Presidents demands the note will in
clude strong defence of Germany's
position, detailing the alleged illegal
practices of her enemies and pointing
out that the United States has failed
to obtain any recognition Of the
rights OF humanity" from Great Brit
ain.
The general feeling here tonight
was not at all optimistic regarding the
outcome. In the absence Of further
sdvices from Ambassador Gerard the
press dispatches were read closely. In
dications in them that there might be
delays or requests for additional in
formation were regarded by officials
as significant.
It is we'll understood, however. that
the United States under no considera-
ton will permit delay and discussion
unless it is preceded by declaration
from Germany that she has so modified
her submarine warfare as to bring 1t
within the scope of international law.
Dispatches of an important nature
hourly are expected from Ambassador
Gerard. 1t is believed that before Mon
day. or soon thereafter, the ambas-
sador will be in position to forecast
with some degree of accuracy what
will be the view of the German gov
ernment.
Washington Situation Tense.
Among the foreign diplomats here
the effect of break between the
United States and Germany is a topic
of wide interest. The consensus Of
opinion seems TO be that diplomatic
relations between the United States and
the allies of Germany need not neces-
sarily be affected.
In regard to Austria. however, much

From Tie Tribune Bu-au.l

Washington, April 22.-Reports OF an
unyielding attitude in Berlin nave
caused the belief here that an immedi-
ate break with Germany will follow
the German reply, expected here IN
about a week. Dispatches from Am
bassador Gerard, giving his view OF the
situation, are closely guarded by Presi'
dent Wilson and Secretary Lansing, but
there are indications that Mr.. Gerard Is
not hopeful of satisfactory reply 10
the Presidents demands. -
Administration officials decline 70
forecast Developments further than to
say that President Wilson will break
relations as readily on the basis OF an
unsatisfactory note as on the actuai
sinking of a ship. As they see 1t, the
issue is clean cut, and there can be no
comnromise. no substantially" salts
factory promises. Either Germany
must agree to stop illegal sea war or
Ambassador Bernstorff must go.
Among dispatches received from AM
bsssador Gerard within the last TWO
days was one describing the manner IN
which the American note was received
by German officials.
While this was held as confidential II
ia understood the ambassador repre-
sented Berlin officials as being greatly
surprised at the demands of the Wash
inyton government. Mr.. Gerard is said
to have gathered at least an impression
that the Foreign Office had no idea that
the communication would be as drastic
and final as it was.
Problem for Berlin.
Administration officials believe the
principal problem Of the German For
eign Office is TO frame reply that
will satisfy the United States and AT
the same time give the impression IN
Germany that no real concessions are
being made. 1t is expected, therefore,
that il Germany complies with the

These friends were amused to-day
