Washington. May 4.--The uncer-
tainty as TO the time when the Ger

day as TO the documents contents.
Either direct compliance with

BY the latter Is meant temporlz-
ing and raising negotiable issue while
indicating that the Objectionable sub-
marine methods have actually beer
stopped for the present.
The time taken in framing the
reply aroused q belief among officials
here that temporizing message
would be most likely. Others think
that the efforts to frame reply d.
rectly complying with the demands,
but not arousing too much feeling In
Germany, Is the explanation Of the
delay.
President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing conferred last night. II the
German reply fails to squarely meet
the administrations demands. It will
be deemed unsatisfactory. It was
stated that the president had not
wavered In his determination that
Germany must acquiesce completely.

II Germany agrees on the question Of
principle. II only remains to deter
