This remark was credited today to
a government official in position to
make it good.
German Ambassador Won Berns-
tori, by the logic OF the situation, ID
the ambassador meant.
Recent newspaper stories credited
to Teuton sources conveying the i'm
preston that America had changed
her position on the Lusitania case
gave rise to feeling that rupture
might be at hand. This feeling is
said to have reached climax last
night when a correspondent asked
Secretary Lansing II it were true he
contemplated resigning.
Lansing is said to have regarded
the report that he might resign as
part of long campaign of misin-
formation about American negotia-
tions with Germany. While he did
not attribute this to the German
embassy, he is said to have felt that
1t grew out Of series of offenses
against the diplomatic proprieties on
the part OF Bernstorff in the matter
Of giving out information from the
department.
The upshoot was to call in Berns-

that Brandeis had thrown" the

and Lieutenant Governor Eshel.
man of California came to Bran
deis' defense last night.
Record Is Clear.
Teal said frankly he disagreed
with the basis for Brandeis' argu-
ments in the case, but said EN-
phatically he did not believe Bran
deis would betray anyone, much
less the people, as Thorne had
suggested.
Eshelman spoke similarly.
The present charges against
Brandeis, he said, were the first
reflection he had heard against
the Bostonian's professional con.
duct.
