William Jennings Bryan arrived in
Washington yesterday as private
citizen to prevent the United States

his peace campaign last night at a

Mr.. Bryan started his speech by
to start for New Orleans to make a
speech when he received word of the
Presidents ultimatum to Germany. Mr..
Bryan said that he started at once
for Washington and admitted that
now that he was here he found him
self in doubt on how to proceed.
Mr.. Bryan, who resigned as Sec
retary of State in the cause of peace,
declared that the United States may
remain at peace by treating the Ger
man U-boat issue under the terms of
the peace treaties he negotiated with
thirty nations while head of the De-

The second course open to the United

RULES MUST BE KEPT
Lansing Explains Note Is Mere
ly a Reiteration of Stand
IN Ultimatum Form.
BREAK STILL IS IMMINENT
u. S. Requires Germany to Abandon
the Illegal Methods of Sub War
fare Used at Present.

While the threat OF break in rela-
tiOns with Germany still remains, the
situation was made to appear less men
acing by official explanation yesterday.
The State Department made It plain
that no new demands have been made
upon Germany. What has been done is
to renew the former demands in a form
approaching an ultimatum.
At the same time it was officially
brought out that the United States Is
ready and willing to negotiate with Ger
many for peaceful settlement Of the con-
troversy.
Explanations made by the highest
State Department authority yesterday
presented the situation as follows:
First. that the United States demands
Of Germany only that she declare and
put into effect an abandonment of Illegal
methods Of submarine warfare. There is
no demand that she shall abandon her
submarine warfare entirely.
Second. that the United States will be
satisfied If Germany puts into opera
ton in the British war zone the subma-
rine methods employed in the Mediter-
ranean. and will accept pledges to do so
as means Of avoiding break.
This leaves the decision up to Germany
as it was before. but it clarifies the situ-
alton by making plain the fact that the
door Is still open for diplomatic nego-
tiations .
Saw Two interpretations.
The explanation came after a visit to
the State Department yesterday Of Count
Won Bernstorfr, the German Ambassador
The Ambassador is understood to have
told Secretary Lansing that the Presi-
dents note to Germany could be inter-
preted either as demanding an end of
submarine warfare against all vessels Of
commerce, or as demanding abandon
ment only Of illegal warfare
It was later authoritatively announced
at the State Department that the note
meant what 1t said, that present meth
DDS" Of submarine warfare be abandoned
There was no warrant, it was declared,
for the Interpretation placed on the note
pers, which construed it as meaning a
demand for cessation Of all submarine
warfare.
The United States is contending for
the conduct Of submarine warfare in
conformity with international law" it
was stated at the department. This
has been our position from the first"
1t was added that legal submarine
warfare would require Germany to ex-
erciss the right of visit and search and
WOULD require submarines to make alb
solute provision for the safety of pas
sengers and crews before attacking any
vessels.
State Department officials made It alb
solutely clear that the United States has
not changed one iota from the position
announced by the President in his note
and message. The demands have not
been lessened in the slightest degree.
