 BERLIN. April 21-via London, April 22.-Nothing has yet developed as a result of the receipt fthe Amer ican note to Germany concerning Ger man's submarine warfare. No express sion of opinion is obtainable in the foreign office, where absolute reticence is maintained. Neither the note. nor reference to it has been published in Germany and there is no intimation yet when it may be published.
 The ministers and other officials who were entitled to it received a copy of the note this morning and were engaged in studying the docu- ment. al
 As far as the Associated press has been made acquainted with the sentI- ment in higher quarters, it would be wrong to describe the situation as any thing but extremely grave. The note probably will be answered some time next week, after serious considera- ton has been given the American con tention, but there is little hope that any answer can go to the length de- handed by the Washington govern ment, despite the fact that the gov ernment desires to maintain good re lations with the United States.
 The sentiment is against any fur ther weakening of Germany's subma- rine campaign. to say nothing of an abandonment of it.
 WASHINGTON, April 21.-Amhas- sador Gerard at Berlin. cabled the State Department today that he had delivered the American note on sub marine warfare to the German foreign office at 4:30 o'clock yesterday af- ternoon., Secretary Lansing said la ter he had not been advised just when a reply might be forthcoming. Other officials, however, indicated they ea- pected it by the middle of next week.
 Ambassador Gerard is known to have entered into a brief conversation with Foreign Minister von Jagow af- ter delivering the communication. Al though the contents of second mes sage received late today from MT. Gerard, was closely guarded, it is un- derstood that the ambassador inform ed the department he had been in formed immediate consideration would be given to the note.
 It become known tonight that sev eral messages have been received from Mir. Gerard during the past day or so.
 IL was stated authoritatively, however. they transmitted only expressions of editorial opinion from German news papers These editorial excerpts were closely examined by officials in an at tempt to gain some understanding of the state of German public opinion.
 Dispatches from the ambassador are looked for m~;nentarily to give definite information regarding the views of German officials, the manner in which the note was received and forecast of the action which will be taken by the German government in response to the demand of the United States that it declare and effect an abandonment of the present methods of conducting submarine warfare.
 Count von Bornstorff was not in Washington today. He left early this morning on week end trip. He is not expected to return to Washington until Monday, unless dispatches of an important nature. bearing upon the submarine issues, should be received before then.
 The German embassy is sending many informative dispatches to Berlin. The majority of those sent so far have contained interpretations of
 fnfA nd Lo ambassadors own views on the sit uation. Ii is known that Count von Bernstorff has strongly recommend ed to his government to so modify sub marine warfare as to bring it within what the United States regards as the law.
