Capt. Koenig had no fear of the
Allied warshlp patrol when ne

American schooners hired TO help
trap his vessel. Passing out OF the
capes the Deutschland encountered
a great number OF these schooners

the American government observed
correct neutrality throughout the
Deutschland's stay. Both the Brit

American rights and made no at
tempt to approach within the three
mile zone in their efforts TO trap
the submarine. How many French

ments here indicated that the
United States is making plans to
meet any issues which may arise
with either Germany or the allies
over the operations of German sub
marines on this side of the Atlantic.
While Secretary of State Lansing
was at Shadow Lawn comforting with
and Navy Departments were busy col
lecting all evidence concerning the
activities of the U-53 off the New
England coasts Sunday and Monday.
Also the State Department, acting
on orders from President Wilson,
made public the American reply to the
British note of Aug. 22 demanding
the United States agree to refuse har-
borage to belligerent submarines dur
ing the remainder of the war.
In her note. Great Britain intimated
that unless this country agreed to fol-
low her suggestions American subma-
rines might be endangered in case the
undersea warfare was carried to wa
ters off American shores.
The United States refused the de-
mand point-blank and served notice on
Great Britain and her allies that 1t
would hold the negligent power" re-
sponsible for any injury done Ameri-
can subjects, where no attempt had
been made to ascertain their nation
ality.
The American reply was sent on
Aug. 81 and was extremely curt.
1t was minus the usual diplomatic
frills and indicated that this govern
Tent did not care to carry on the con-
troversy further. 1t was withheld
from the press at the time on the
Presidents order
In so far as the possible differences
with Germany are concerned, Wash
ington officials said that everything
depends on the conferences at Shadow
Lawn between President Wilson and
Secretary of State Lansing and the
President and Ambassador Gerard.

vessels torpedoed by the U-53 indi-
Gated that there might have been a Sc
rious loss of life had not American tor
pedo boats gone to the rescue of the
passengers of the Stephano when she
was torpedoed
Officials pointed cut that the United
States never has formally conceded
that putting passengers in open boats
at sea was sufficient Tor their safety.
The view taken here is that the
U-53 observed the German promises,
and. as no lives were lost, there
seemed little ground for protest
now.
