The memorandum submitted to Sec
retary Lansing on Friday of last
week is a substantial compliance with
the demands Of the American Govern
ment for a disavowal of the sinking
of the giant Cunarder with the loss
of lis American lives.
1t now remains only for the two
Governments to reach an agreement

an official announcement Of settle
ment of the nine-month controversy.
This will consist largely in agree
ment as to the date on which the
formal German note is to be made
public simultaneously in Germany and
the United States.
All that remains is for Germany to
decide whether her proposals shall be
submitted in Il note from the Ber-
lin Foreign Office, or whether Count
Won Bernstorff. the German Ambas
sador, shall sign the memorandum
submitted to the State Department
on Friday. Count Won Bernstorff has
sent wireless to Berlin to arrange
this detail.
President Wilson gave his APP
proval to the German proposals ut

Second. An offer is made 20 pay

legation.
Third. Germany repeats her pledge
that unarmed merchantmen will not
be sunk without warning and without
providing for safety Of passenger:
