TOAMBASSADOR?

Berlin, Feb. 2, (by wireless to Say
vile, n. Y.)-Instructions have been
sent by the German government to
Ambassador Won Bernstorff of Wash

sonable hope for a positive under
standing" concerning the Lusitania
affair, it was announced here today.
The announcement, which is of semi

New agency to have been made, lin
connection with alarming English re-
ports about the nature Of German
American relations" The text of the
statement is given by the news agency
as follows:
at is true that on Saturday, Jan. 20,
a Geographic report from the German
ambassador at Washington arrived at
Berlin, showing that UP to that time it
had been impossible to adjust the Lusi-

both sides by friendly verbal ex-
changes of views. On Tuesday in

which give reasonable hope for a posi-
tive understanding"

they will be transmitted through thu
American embassy at Berlin, which a
the instruction of the state department
has placed its facilities for communi
cation between Count Won Bernstorf
and his foreign Office at the disposal o
the German government. so that thu
Lusitania exchanges would not have t.
pass through the British censorship.
None of the embassy officials would
venture an opinion as to what the in
distractions referred to as giving "rea
sonable hope for positive under
standing" although they expressed thu
hope that they would be satisfactor!
to the United States.
