NO BREAK NOW BUT LATER,
 IS BELIEF OF WASHINGTON

failure of the negotiations and Germany s consequent action must necessarily re- main for the future.
 The United States does not know how Germany's new instructions to submarine commanders compare with previous in- of President Wilson. Secretary Lansing stated today that it was possible the state department might ask for official copies of the original orders.
 The newest orders. however, apparently are regarded as meeting the President s demand for a declaration of an abandon ment of the present practices of subma- rine warfare. Officials seem agreed that the Presidents demand that Germany also effect such an abandonment only could be answered by time.
 THINK BREAK WARRANTED
 Under such circumstances one set of officials feel the threatened break will not come at this time; another set is convinced that Germanys apparent de- termination to make the fulfillment of her promises conditional upon the success of the Presidents negotiations with Great Britain warrants the severance of diplomatic relations.
 At the state department, after the sit uation has been thoroughly discussed at the cabinet meeting, it was stated that because of the length of the note, the time required for digesting it carefully and the necessity of having at hand the official text for the preservation of all shades of meaning which might be ob- scured in translation or in wireless trans mission, it practically was certain that the President would not reach his de- cision before next week.
 Out of it all two things were made clear. They were that the United States still holds firmly to its determination that mistakes of submarine comman- ders are not admissible; that they are unforgivable and that the United States must continue to regard a discussion of the conduct of other belligerents as ir- relevant as to its discussion of Ger manys conduct.
 While the tone of the German note was said to be disappointing, most off, cials expressed the view that after all the language was- immaterial if the as- surances were all that had been asked for.
