[By Robert J. Bender, United Press
Staff CORRESPONDENT
LONG BRANCH, N. j., Oct. IL
Secretary Of State Lansing left for
Washington shortly before o'clock,
after a long conference with Presi-
dent Wilson last night on new vrob-
lens raised by activities of the Ger
man submarine U-53 off the Aneri
can coast.
The impression prevails here that
Germany acted entirely in accord
ance with her promises to this gov
ernment in her operations on British
shipping off Nantucket Shoals Sun
day. But while methods employed by
the commander of the U-53 appear to
comply with this governments stip-
ulations, the larger questions con-
cerning the administration now is
whether the United States can toll
crate further submarine activities
outside her ports, menacing commerce
and constantly exposing to danger
the lives of American men, women
and children There Is strong un-
der current of feeling against any
such continued practice which might
be contemplated by Germany. Scores
OF kilograms have been received by
the president from business interests,
demanding that sharp reminders
must be given Germany that she can
not virtually blockade the ports of
the United States"
Some advise that the action of this
government should not be limited to
mere protest.
Officials here declined to comment
on what was this governments next
step in the new submarine problem.
Secretary Lansing would make no
statement whatever before leaving for
Washington.
After an early breakfast with Ian
sing, the president left for a game of
golf and nothing regarding his con-
ference with the secretary OF state
was thcomtng from the summer
white house offices. 1t is likely, how
ever, that steps will be taken at once
to get further Information as to Ger
manys future intentions-if these
have not already been taken-and to
determine whether Germany plans TO
make her campaign against enemy
shipping on this side Of the Atlantic
permanent.

KAISER SAYS HIS

HISTORY TO CLEAR HIM

LONDON, Aug. 15.-"I do not envy
the man who has the responsibility
for this war upon his conscience. /,
at least, am not that man. l think
history will clear me Of that charge.
although do not suppose that history
will hold me faultless."
Kaiser Wilhelm was today quoted
in Berne, Switzerland dispatch to
the London Daily News as having
made this statement to a prominent
neutral who visited Berlin on business
of an official character last year and
made another visit last month.
I'm a sense, every civilized man In
Europe" the kaiser was further
quoted as saying, must have share
in the responsibility for this war and
the higher his position, the larger his
responsibilities. l admit that, and
good faith and strove hard for peace,
even though war was inevitable"
The neutral was about to leave
Berlin when he and other members Of
a special deputation, were invited to
tea with the kaiserin and the kaiser.
who had Just returned from the west
ern front, the Berne dispatch said.
The kaiser entered, wearing a Ger
man field uniform and after indulging
in commonplaces about the weather,
turned to a discussion of the war.
Somewhat to the embarrassment OF
the neutral visitors, he suddenly put
the question:
II suppose the British theory that l
was responsible for the war has got
a hold on your own people"
Before any of his guests could re-
ply, the kaiser added.
"It is curious how this theory
seems to fascinate my enemies Yet
the people who accuse me OF having
caused the war are the very people
who previously testified to the earn,
estness of nv desire for peace.
"Why is it that you neutrals al
ways talk about German militar1sm
and never about Russian despotism,
the sFrench craving for revenge or
English treachery?"
