Y. S. WAITING FOR REPLY TO
NOTE DEMANDING ABANDON
MENT OF PRESENT METH
obs CT WARFARE.
RUPTURE MIGHT FOLLOW
SINKING OF VESSEL NOW
Could Be Prevented Only by Proof
Berlin Had Been Unable to Com
municate With Submarine Com
manders-No Word From
Ambassador Gerard.

Washington, April g. - While the
United States waits for Germany's re-
ply to the note demanding immediate
abandonment of present methods Of
submarine warfare, one of the chief
sources of concern here is the posi-:
bility of another attack on a peaceful
ship carrying Americans before the
Berlin government has determined
upon it's course.
In such an event it is admitted that
an immediate rupture could be pre-
vented only by proof that Germany
had been unable to communicate with
her submarine commanders.
In explaining the demand Of the
United States officials said that while
abandonment of the present illegal
methods were essential to continuance
of diplomatic relations, the United
States might agree to German sub
marines operating under the strict re-
strictions of cruiser warfare.
United States Stands Firm.
1t was reiterated emphatically, how
ever, that a discussion of that phase
would not be entered into until the
present campaign was brought to a.
stop. The United States stands firm
In it's determination not to tolerate the
unlawful and inhumane sinking of an
other ship.
Cruiser warfare such as would be re-
garded as legal by the American gov
eminent would make imperative the.
exercise Of the right to visit and
search, the passengers and crew being
accorded degree of safety.
Won Bernstorff Sees Lansing.
Count Won Bernstorff called at the
state department and had 25-min
ute conference with Secretary Lans-
ing. Mr. Lansing listened with much
interest to the suggestion made by
Count Won Bernstorff, which he I'M
derstood the am bassador was ready to
make to his own government. for. it's
guidance in framing a reply to the
American note. The secretary, how
ever, was not disposed to accept the
views expressed by the ambassador as
being official.
Press dispatches announcing that
the note had arrived in Berlin were
read with much interest, but official
word of the delivery of the communi-
cation had not been received from
Ambassador Gerard.
