Wilson'S Talk of a Break
Stu7s State Department
Officials Say U. S. Could Not Consistently Shut the
Doors to Further Boat Discussion With Ger
many-Should Await Allies Replies.

Bernstorff 10 propose to Mi. Lansing one
OF two things. either one OF which. il,
WAS sad. the United States could well
afford TO consider.
Ia the first place. II is suggested the
Ambassador might be told to submit TO
MIR Lansing a compromise suggestion
calling on the United States to take the
stand that. in view Of the vulnerability
of submarines. defensive armament on
met chant ships. instead OF including six
inch guns should he limited to guns Of
much smaller calibre or. secondly. re-
quest the United States to act as inter-
mediary in bringing about a modus
vivcndi. which would limit the calibre
OF defensive armament to one or two
inches.
The Main object.
\rer all. !, vas said. what concerns
the United states most at this time. and
what was responsible for Il holdup in
the ImSitania negotiations. was a desire
IN bring about some arrangement which
would remove all prospect of American
lives being endangered in any new SUBJ
marine warfare.
II 81 n An arrangement is possible
through further negot iations. officials ex-
pressed confidence that the United
S'd''~ Government. even at the cost or
further delay in getting "A settlement ~
th" Lusitina case. would not reje I
them.
on the Other hand. n was pointed out
AT the state department that while tho
En,"ut" Powers have indirectly mani
Tested au unwillingness to agree 10 the
proposals which Mr.. Lansing made TO
them ON January ls. looking to Q dis
=. Htin"ui 81 all merchant ships their
actual replies have not been received.
Will" IL is regarded as probable that
the Eitrut" Powers will never agree to
"u'tcht disarmament. II may he possible
that they might have alternative sug-
gesiiou> Ia offer. in which event. it is
pointed out, II would be unwse for the
United states to close the door to FUR
th"r discussion ~ the subject by break
ing off the negotiations with Germany.
Tho German Embassy is expecting to
hear from Berlin some time tomorrow
although AZ late hour ths evening. II
was declared that the Ambassador had
not Vet been advised that his new in
