OFFICIALS HERE AWAIT
REPORT FROM BERLIN
One of Their Chief Concerns Is as to
Possible Attack on Ships
While Case Is Pending.

Word from Ambassador Gerard. at
Berlin. that he had delivered the Amer
lean note to the German government
how it was received were awaited with
keen expectancy by administration Of
ficials today.
Unofficial advices early today saying
that the ambassador had presented the
communication to the German foreign
Office last evening, and that the chan
cellor had not yet seen it because of
his absence at army headquarters.
were read with interest by officials.
Pending Germany's reply to the
United States demands that she imme-
diately abandon the present methods of
conducting submarine warfare, one of
the chief concerns of officials here is
the possibility of another attack on a
shin carving Americans. 1t was ad
mift ed that an immediate rupture could
ONLY be prevented by proof that Ger
MANY had been unable to communicate
with her submarine commanders.
Delayed by Holiday.
How long the United States will walt
for the German reply has not been in
dicated 1t is suggested that the Ger
man foreign office may be delayed in
replying Immediately because of a
series of religious holidays in Ger
many, which begin today and continue
until Tuesday.
Secretary Lansing. who conferred
with the President before the cabinet
meeting said he did not expect any
a action until a reply was received from
Germany or unless another ship carry
ing Americans were torpedoed by a
German submarine He said that in
case diplomatic relations between the
two nations were broken the work of
the United States in caring for the dip
lomatic interests of Germany in other
countries in all Likelihood would be
suspended.

THIRTY WARSH|PS
IN CONDITION FOR DUTY
Work Rushed at Charlestown Navy
Yard as Measure of Preparedness,
It Is Explained.

BOSTON, April 21.-Seven thousand
yard were put in overalls today for the
purpose of making the thirty war ves-
sells in the harbor ready for sea at the
earliest possible hour. 1t was author
itatively stated that virtually every
ship would be at the top-notch of ef-
ficiency in fifteen days.
The enlisted men are being employed
because of the difficulty in obtaining
sufficient civilian mechanics. Half of
the 1000 had been recalled from fur
loughs and shore leaves.
Measure of Preparedness.
1T is a measure of preparedness" it
was officially explained, the necessity
of which was increased by the fact
that we have been handicapped for
months by a shortage of civilian work
men and material. If we are to make
these ships ready for sea at an early
notice repairs must be completed soon.
and it was found that the only way to
accomplish this was to put the blue
Jackets to work.
The vessels to be overhauled include
six battleshipS with a total of about
5000 officers and men, ten torpedo boat
deStroyerS three scout cruisers. one
submarine and several auxiliary ships.
No Special Orders at Norfolk.
NORFOLK, April 21.-At the Norfolk
navy yard today it was said that no
special orders have been received.
There has been no necessity for putting
the bluejackets to work overhauling
warshipS since there are enough me-
chanics available for the purpose.

Object to Other Features.

Other proposed Asiatic exclusion fea =
lures in the bill as it has passed the
House and has been reported to the
objection.
For many obvious reasons the attl-
tude of the administration is said to be
one of disinclination to irritate the
situation between Japan and the
United States which has been smolder-
ing since the California anti-alien land
law negotiations went into an indefin-
ite stage three years ago this spring.
Administration officials are not un-
mindful of anti-Asiatic sentiment in
Congress. particularly among members
from the Pacific coast states. and
their constant endeavor has been to
allay it.
The United States never has replied
to Japan's last note on the California
land law.
Had Reached Deadlock.
The last that was said on the sub
ject was said by former Secretary
Bryan to Ambassador Chinda, when the
negotiations got into the stage of ap-
parent deadlock. and the ambassador,
on taking his departure from con-
ference at Secretary Bryan's office, in
quired if he were to transmit the last
word of the United States to his gov
ernment. To that Secretary Bryan re-
Piled:
There never can be last word be-
tween friends"
One portion of the bill which is up-
derstood to draw the resentment of the
Japanese government is the inclusion,
by inference at least. of Japanese in
the excluded class with Hindus, al
though the same paragraph of the bill
excerpts from the exclusion such as
are covered in existing agreements
This phrase refers to the Root-Taka-
hira agreement.
Statement at Cabinet Meeting.
After todays cabinet meeting it be-
came known that the two memoranda
had been presented to the State De-
partment The first referred to SINH
lar representations made a year ago
when the immigration bill was pend
ing and the second brought up some
new points.
The question will be taken up by
President Wilson with Senate and
House leaders. and it is expected that
an agreement probably will be reached
which will avoid difficulty. The ques-
ton has already been discussed tenta-
lively Administration leaders say they
expect no real difficulty.

Ovation for Young Boy.

This feeling manifested itself in en-
thusiastic cheering as khe drab colors
of men filed down the gangways and
marched through the city singing their
characteristic marching choruses. A
Moscow boy of thirteen named lgna-
tieff who has been adopted by one of
the regiments, was the first person to
land. He received an ovation. He has
been eight months on the Austrian
front. The Russians are all picked
men. Most of them are decorated with
the St Georges cross. Some of them
have four decorations. The men were
delighted to get to their quarters after
the sea voyage.

The arrival of the transports which
brought the Russian troops sent to join
the entente forces on the western front
had been expected since Tuesday, but a
heavy storm in the Mediterranean de-
layed their reaching here until yester-
day. Every precaution for their pro-
lection had been taken, owing to re-
ports that hostile submarines were
operating in the Mediterranean, but the
voyage was concluded without unto
ward incident

troops drew up to the quay at 2:15
o'clock. French troops. headed by the
