WASHINGTON May 4.-Uncer-
tainty reported from Berlin as to the
time when the kaiser's reply to Presl-
dent Wilson's submarine note will be
dispatched to Washington, has raised
new doubts here as to its probable
contents. One of two things is OK
pected:
Direct compliance with the Amer!
can demands, or
An evasion Of the direct issue.
BY the latter, is meant tempOr1z.
ing note, raising issues to be nego-
tiated by Ambassador Bernstorff
while indicating that the submarine
, methods to which the United States
objects, actually have been stopped
| for the present -,
| The time taken in framing the re.
ply has aroused a belief on the part
of many officials that the temporizine
message Is the one most likely to be
received. Others think, however, tina:
the effort to frame q reply tnat will
directly comply with the United
States demands, but will not arouse
too much feeling in Germany, is tho
|explanation for the relay.
President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing conferred on the situation
last night.
II the reply fails squarely to meet
the presidents demands, it will not
be satisfactory. 1t was stated today
that the president has not wavered
In his determination that Germany
must acquiesce completely.
In German official circles here, it
is said Germany agrees with the
United States now on the question of
principle and that the only thing re-
manning is to determine method"
Of U boat warfare against commerce,
that the two governments can agree
upon.
This is taken as assurance that
Germany has decided to stop her sub
marine warfare even If she does not
agree on how it may be resumed.
The first message from Gerard in
nearly q week, reached the state de-
partment this forenoon and reported
quantity of press comment. In
cluded in this was one article In
which it was said esponsibflity for
any break in relations would be upon
President Wilson.
A report of Gerard's conference
with the kaiser is now enroute here
and is expected to be in the state de-
partment by tomorrow.
The German reply Is not expected
before Saturday.

Ambassador Gerard cabled today
that he is forwarding report Of his
conference with the kaiser at Ger
