Washington Disturbed.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE re-
ported visit of Baron Burian the
Austro- Hungarian foreign minister, to
Chancellor Won Bethmann- Hollweg at
Berlin for full discussion of sub
marine warfare and its effect on the
United States aroused interest here.
but could not be confirmed from Of
ficial dispatches.
Government officials do not conceal
their disquiet over the present subma
rine situation and some of them fear
that the Teutonic powers may at any
moment launch a starvation cam
paign against England which could
not fail to involve the United States.
Secretary Lansing today, however
authorized the statement that as yet
there is absolutely no truth in the
reports that the department has in
formation that definite decision has
been reached to launch ruthless Ger
man submarine campaign
Five serious cases now are pending
in connection with attacks on the
steamers Marina with the loss of six
American lives; the Arabia, the
Rowanmore, the Lanao and the
Columbian.
No Warning to United States.
Teutonic diplomats here do moi
credit the report that Germany has
been warned verbally that President
Wilson's patience is ION the verge OF
exhaustion" One of these who in
accordance with the usual custom de-
clined to permit the use of his name
said tonight
"I know positively that no such
warning has been given. There is nc
reason for any such warning. Ger
many has absolutely no intention OF
violating any of the pledges given the
United States"
The Teutonic diplomats are unable
to see how a rupture of relations
could occur over the present subma-
rine campaign which they say is
being conducted in accordance with
all the rules of cruiser warfare. They
point to Germany's recent assurance
to the American embassy at Berlin
that no change in policy was con-
terminated.
