GERMANY MUST
KEEP ITS PLEDGES
No PARIEfING TO BE TOLER-
ATED. GERARD TOLD TO
TELL OFFICIALS.

When Ambassador Gerard returns
TO Berlin next week he will take with
him Americas last word in the sub
marine situation.
This will include notice of the ad-
ministration' plan 70 do no more
note writing, if there is any German
violation of submarine war pledges.
He will be in position to inform the
German authorities privately that the
United States intends to carry out
her Sussex note threat of breaking
relations If violations arise.
The ambassador had several con-
ferences this week with President
Wilson and also told state depart
ment officials what he knows of the
German sentiment concerning subma-
rinings. likewise of peace possibili-
ties and commercial plans for after
the war.
President Learns Details.
Since the Presidents return to the
has received from Secretary of State
Lansing every scrap of information
received at the state department on
the recent German submarine activi-
ties. At the same time, new policy
of absolute silence on the submarine
problem has been inaugurated. both
at the state department and the
White House.
Officials have frowned on reports,
both in this country and abroad. that
a new U boat "crisis" was developing.
The searching inquiries made by this
government into the different sink
ings by submarines during the last
month have revealed the fact that the
government is intent upon determin-
ing definitely whether the German
government has embarked upon a
new campaign endangering her assur-
ances given at the time Of the Sus-
sex sinking.
VIII Ascertain Facts.
Some of the reported sinkings were
found to have been justified. Others
are still to be cleared up. The terse
statement made by high state de-
partment official last week that the
United States will not indulge in
correspondence of any kind in the
event German submarine command
ers break Germany's pledges, it be-
came known this week, voiced the
unanimous sentiment of high officials.
1t was made clear that merely ap-
parent violation of pledges would not
be sufficient to make drastic action
Immediately necessary. The admin
istration will continue to 60 slow in
any inquiries made and be absolutely
certain of facts first.
Although officials refused to talk
publicly of the interview between
Gerard and the President, 1t was
learned on the best authority that the
ambassador to Germany was &C
quainted with every detail in connec-
ton with me present situation and
that he was told, in effect, that an
other Sussex case would bring about
the most serious situation that has
arisen between Germany and the
United States.

Ways Exceptionally Favored
Just Now.

style. Flare effects may appear at the
hips, knees or hem OF the skirt, but for
stout women the fullness is dropped
below the hips by means of a skirt

by the circular cut of the skirt.
Long lines in the center front and in
the center back may extend from the
bodice into the skirt, the sides having
broken lines over the hips. Snug-ftting

Other becoming features are the set
in sleeves with a narrow shoulder line
Then there is the fullness at the top
of the sleeve which makes the arm
taper at the elbow and takes away the
appearance of extra size at the waist
line by producing a graceful taper
from the shoulder line. The drapery
OF soft, looped-up folds we'll below the
hips is suitable for stout women.
