 Concern Over the Situation.
 The announcement that the secretary of state would confer with the presi- dent confirmed the impression gained here earlier in the day that the AIneri- can government considered the attacks on vessels off the American coast by a German submarine as fraught With grave possibilities. At the same time it was made clear that there is nothing in the reports so far received to show that international law or the earlier promises of Germany have been v1o- lated. Concern over the situation cen tered chiefly about the possibility of what might happen if the submarine attacks are continued.
 Personal Letter from Kaiser.
 Count Won Bernstorff, the German ambassador, who came here today to give the president a personal letter from the German emporer on Polish relief discussed with MT. Wilson the new activities of German submarines. It was understood that Mr. Wilson made It clear that Wlllle the <AfIteI4CotIi | government had no intention of inter 1 fering with the legitimate activities of l submarines, it would insist on the | strict observance of the pledges given previously by the German govern l ment.
 The ambassador, while expressing an ! entire lack of official information from | his government on the new submarine l attacks, said that Germany had prom 1 ised to conduct her submarine warfare in accordance with the rules of cruiser | warfare.
 The ambassador remained with the
 president only fifteen minutes and was l smiling when he left. He declared he was as much surprised as anybody when the news of the sinking of the first British ship reached him.
 Talk Was Entirely Friendly.
 if is believed that the talk betweeI the 7554egidefit and the affbassador wa: entirely Friendly, but that the presiden 1 informed the ambassador of his deter imitation to act firmly if the rights O the United States are infringed.
 The president had seriously consid
 cred going to Brooklyn tomorrow t
 attend the third worlds series baseball
 game, but decided to remain here ant
 keep in touch with the submarine sit | uatior.

 The operator sent the story over this IS 000 mile circuit continuously for two and a half hours and, at the instant McNaI1y crossed the home plate with the winning run in the fourteenth in uirg. the flash Boston Wins had gone the length and breadth of the country.
 Heretofore, in reporting worlds se- ries, the news had been relayed at Chi cago and other points. The experi- nent today of making a complete trans continental connection was re-, ported entirely successful.
 Five thousand additional miles of cir cult received the story through relays, but this was by reason of news con- ditions. The 1S,000 mile circuit how ever, stands as a record in telegraphic history.
