Gerard Denies
Special Reason F..
For His Trip Home

New York, Oct. Thames w. Ger
ard, United tSates ambassador to
Germany, returned here yesterday on
his first vacation in nearly three
years, and issued a formal statement
late today, in which he denied that
his home coming had been caused
by the need of warning the admin
stration at Washington of Germany's
intention to resume indiscriminate
submarine warfare against neutral as
well, as hostile shipping The am
bassador's statement follows:
you may say that it is not true
that l came home at this time to
serve notice on the president of Ger
manys intention of repudiating its
pledges regarding the conduct of
submarine warfare, or that Germany
was contemplating the resumption of
submarine attacks upon all kinds OF
shipping.
Il say to you what | said to a
reporter for the Berliner Tageblatt
at Copenhagen, before sailed: |
should not think of leaving my post
at this time if were OF convinced
that the relations between my coun-
try and Germany were as friendly
as they could be, and gave promise
of continuing indefinitely"

.SUBSEA ATTACKS
PERFECTLY LEGAL.
President and Lansing Find
Everything Was Done in Ac.
cordance with Law.
NO REASON TO TAKE ACTION

On Board President Wilson's Spe-
cial, Harrisburg, Pa, Oct. ll.-As q
result of the conference last night and
early today between President wilson
and Secretary Lansing at Long
Branch, N. j., it was stated authori..
tatively tonight that no evidence OF
the breaking OF German promises to
the United States had been discovered
so far in connection with the suDma-
rne activities off the American coast
last Sunday, but that the American
government will continue its invests
CATION and will watch closely any re-
petition of the attacks.
The only direct comment on the
discussion between the president and
Secretary Lansing obtainable from Of
fetal sources tonight, was that every
angle Of the submarine situation had
been discussed during the conference.
Administration officials apparently
fear that difficulties may result il Gers
man submarine warfare is waged on
large scale on this side of the At
lantic, and that tits necessary for the
government to seek all facts obtains
able.
Because Of this fear it was thought
probable that means would be found
for discovering whether Germany will
continue submarine warfare on this
hemisphere.
Complete evidence on whether Ger
many's promises to put passengers
and crews in places OF safety before
sinking vessels were carried out in
last Sundays attacks, is expected to
be ready for the president when he re.
turns east Friday.
