a British destroyer IN the Downs.
Krappe's American passport. issued by

seemed to satisfy the British authorities
that he was not identified with German
interests and he was permitted to pro-
eeed to Falmouth and rejoin the Moor
dam there. His passport, however. was
not returned.
Ambassador Gerard granted me the
passport only when he was thoroughly
convinced of the truth of my state

Appeared Surprised.
Monday afternoon the Ambassador
called on Secretary Lansing and learned
the attitude of the President and the Sec
retary. He appeared surprised, declar-
ing that he had hoped the proposals of
his government would seem to the United
States entirely adequate. He then asked
that the final word of the United States
be put in writing SO fhat he might make
no mistake in advising his government.
This was agreed to.
On the day following the Ambassador
again called, and was handed the memo
randum. Rejecting the proposition of
Germany. which offered to make repara-
ton. but not with an admission of liabil-
ity. and which did not provide for dis
avowal, the propositions given the Am
bassador by Secretary Lansing demanded
that the dsavowal should be expressly
given and the liability for reparation ad-
mitted.
The Ambassador was then given to un-
derstand. it' is stated. that the United
States government believed that the time
had arrived when Germany should give a
definite answer, otherwise the "coniden-
tial negotiations between the Secretary
and the Ambassador would appear to be

five minutes. At its conclusion the AM
bassador Is said to have expressed the
hope that way out Of the impasse might
