friend, also was absent
Marshall also told of finding two lit

They might have been caused by a

The elder Orpet testified that he

Gus situation Is believed imminent
Only eight days remain until the de-
cree is to become effective. Germany
through her ambassador, has init
mated willingness to again postpone
the date. if required by the state de-
partment which has said such a re-
quest will not be made by this govern
ment.
AS for the relations between Lans-
ing and Bernstorff. growing out of
what the administration considers the
larters unfair publicity methods, little
effort was made to conceal the facts.
The ambassador was no. in the city.
English Comment.
LONDON, Feb. 21-London newspa-
ers generally agreed today that Presi-
dent Wilson is responsible for the re-
ported estrangement between Secre-
tary of State Lansing and Ambassador
Bernstorff. Headlines over the Wash
ington reports took the view that
Lansing's personal attitude toward
Bernstorff has been dictated by Will
son because he feels he has been en-
barrassed by stories emanating from
the German embassy.
All the newspapers gave the reports
the greatest prominence.
The Observer expressed regret that
the English press in the past had
been very harsh in its criticism of
President Wilson.
We'll do we'll. indeed. to restrain
our tongues and to offer no premature
judgment at President Wilson's ex-
pense,' said the Observer, pointing
out that the London papers heapel
criticism upon President Wilson when
it was reported he would accept Ger
many's new armed merchantmen pro-
posals
Afterwards they were forced to
withdraw this criticism.
The Observer expressed resrt that
foreign office send a distinguished en-
voy. preferably James Bryce or Lord
Derby, to America to acquaint the
Wilson administration. the American
press and the people, more fully with
the viewpoint of the allies.
