Communications from Germany have
reached the United State One con-
tanning proposal to pay an indemnity
for the Americans lost il the Lusi-
tania disaster, which may Oring nego-
tiations on that subject to conclusion.
and the other conveying assurances
that German submarine commanders
operating in the Mediterranean would
not torpedo non-combatanl ships of
any character without warning them
and according safety to their passen-
gers and crews. The communications
were delivered to Secretary Lansing by
Count Won Bernsdorff, the German am
bassador. The secretary Immediately
sent them to President Wilson.
Official Washington Friday night
considered that America and Germany
at last were near a final agreement
on the conduct of submarine warfare.
Officials made no attempt to conceal
their qualification at the attitude Ger
many apparently had assumed. 1t
was considered to be virtually in har-
mony with the American viewpoint.
Tension regarding the entire sub
marine question seemed to have less
ened considerably Austria in its re-
ply to the last Ancona note, having
assured the United States of its in
tentions to operate submarines with
due regard for international law and
the principles of humanity. Turkey
and Bulgaria, it is understood, next
will take steps to give such guaran-
tees. 1t is stated authoritatively that
Germany and Austria-Hungary will
use their influence to accomplish this
end.
The Lusitania controversy, except
for the wording of the agreement to
be entered into, is considered in leu
tonic circles here virtually ended.
Under the terms of the proposal
submitted for the approval of the
United States, Germany, while offering
to pay an indemnity, makes the
reservation that no admission OF
wrongdoing thereby is involved. IT is
contended that the Lusitania was
sunk as an act of reprisal for the
British blockade of Germany.
