This was done after Welsh had been

Berlin, Nov. %, via London, Nov.
30:-The Berlin papers print prom
inently summary of the Associated
Press Washington dispatch of No
vember 10, which was greatly de-
.layed in reaching them Where com
ments are made il is evident that
the attitude of the American gov
ernment has created a bad impress
sion. The papers fail to see the
grounds at this moment for suddenly
alleging that the Lusitania question
remains unsettled.
Both conservative and Liberal or
gans agree in condemning the atti-
.tude ascribed to the American gov
ernment respecting German subma-
rine activities on the American coast
They point out that Germany is fully
complying with the American de-
mand that submarine operations fol-
low the cruiser provisions of The
Hague convention. even refraining
from firing torpedoes while under
water. The papers also reject the
assumption that the cruise of the
U-53 had the character of block
ode of American harbors and fail to
see justification for regarding it as
offensive"
The post pronounces this charac-
terization as "far fetched and rather
clumsy"

that his intervention could only make
