NO MORE ATTACKS
HAVE BEEN MADE
But Despite the Elapse of a
Day and a Night Without
a Further Appearance of
the U-53, Shipping Circles
Are Decidedly Fidgety
Over the Situation

Long Branch, n. j., Oct l0.-Presiden
Wilson gave his entire attention to-da!
to considering the facts collected by th'
navy department regarding the German
submarine attacks on merchant ships of
the American coast He had intended go
ing to Brooklyn to see the world series
game but changed his plans, shut him
self in his study and went over all the
evidence collected
There was every indication that the
president had received no information
necessitating drastic action by the Amer
lean government. The president had on
his program conferences with Secretary
of State Lansing and the French ambas-
sador. 1t is believed that the American
government is giving serious consider
alton to the question of whether the at
tacks on merchantmen so near the Amer
ican coast do not constitute a virtual
blockade of American ports.
The position of the American govern
ment and its determination to make a
full investigation before acting was made
clear in the following statement given
out by the president:
"The government will, OF course, first
inform itself as to all the facts that there
may be no doubt or mistake as far as
they are concerned.
"The country may rest assured that
the German government will be held to
the complete fulfillment of it's promises
to the government of the United States.
| have no right now to question its
willingness to fulfill them"
Count Won Bernstorf, the German am
bassador, who came here yesterday to
give the president a personal letter from
the German emperor on Polish relief, dis
cussed with Mr. Wilson the new activi-
ties of German submarines 1t was un-
derstood that Mr.. Wilson made it clear
that, while the American government
had no intention of interfering with the
legitimate activities of the submarines,
it would insist on the strict observance of
the pledges given previously by the Ger
man government The ambassador. while
expressing an entire~ lack of official in
formation from his government on the
new submarine attacks, said Germany
had promised to conduct her submarine
Warfare in accordance with the rules of
cruiser warfare.
The ambassador remained with the |
president only Is minutes and was smil- |
ing when he left. He declared he was
as much surprised as anybody when the !
news of the sinking of the first British !
ship reached him.
The ambassador said the letter sent !
him by the commander of the U-53 was |
of no Importance and merely informed !
him that the boat intended putting in !
at Newport and leaving again soon aft
erwards.
The ambassador was read the state
ment given out shortly before this by
President Wilson. He smiled as he heard |
it and remarked: "That is very compre-
hensive." He would make no further
comment.
He declared that he had delivered to
the president a personal letter from the
German emperor on Polish relief. what
the president said to me is for him to
give out" He added:
Questioned regarding the possibility of
peace, he said:
well, it looks peaceful about here"
