Strong Protest on Sub
marine Bar

Is Pleased with Amer
lean Attitude

! Berlin, via London Oct. l6.-Norway,
Holland and Spain are now playing lead
ing parts in Germany's international sub
marine problem to the subordination of
the United States which so long and so
often has held the center of the stage.
The Associated Press correspondent dis
cussed the present situation to-day with
DR.. Alfred Zimmerman, under secretary
for foreign affairs, who indicated that
the tables had been cleared and that no
negotiations were in progress SO far as
the United States is concerned.
The case of Holland is the simplest and
concerns only the Bloomersdijk, sunk off
the New England coast by the U53. Fun
compensation has been offered in the
event it is shown that the commander
of the submarine exceeded his instruc-
tions. SPANS grievances have to do
with the sinking of fruit steamers. Nor
wegian measures barring submarines
from Norwegian waters is regarded as
incompatible with Norwegian neutrality
and DR.. Zimmerman said the matter
would undoubtedly be tie subject of
strong protest to Norway.
Zimmerman spoke with high satisfac.
tion of the terms OF Americas reply to
the memorandum Of the allies on the
treatment of submarines. He declared
it was marked with the true spirit Of
neutrality. The appearance and activity
of the German submarine off the Ameri-
can coast has not been made the subject
of diplomatic negotiation or complica
tions, he declared He said that no com
on the subject had been re-
reived
