Administration officials take the po-
sition that the transferring of sub
marine warfare so close to Americas s
shores is fraught with grave danger
because of the possibility Of mistakes
being made by submarine comma nd RS.
Reports that strong sentiment exists
in Germany for the resumption of sub
marine warfare on Il broader scale
caused some alarm among officials.

accept the contentiea Of the entente
allies that neutnals should deny the
use Of their harbors TO all submarines
preceded the arrival of Secretary Lans-
ing here. The President and the Sec

REPLIES TO U. S. PROTEST
OF MAIL INTERFERENCE
French Governments Note Is Soon
to Be Laid Before the State
Department.

The reply of the French government
to the protest of the United Slates-gov-
ernment against interference with the
mails has reached Washington and
probably soon will be laid before the
State Department. Its delivery to Sec
retary Lansing probably win be de
layed until it and the British reply can
DE presented simultaneously.
Meanwhile the notes are subjects ur
consideration by the ambassadors of
the allied powers in Washington with
the purpose of securing a harmonious
presentation OF the allied case to the
United States.
Nothing can be learned officially at this
Stage of the contents of the notes. but il
is believed that although expressing will
ilgneSs to do everything possible to mini
miZe the annoyance and delay caused by
the examination Of the mails. the allied
powers are by no means willing to admit
the lack of legal right on their part to
continue such examination to make any
