count Won BcrI~tOTh, the German
Ambassador, returning unexpectedly
last night from New York. authorized
the Associated Press to make the fol
lowing statement:
Il regard the note Of my Govern
mcnt as constituting an acceptance of
everything suggested by President
Wilson in his note to the beiligerent
nations of Europe"
The German policy upon which the
reply to President Wilson's communi-
cation IS based. was outlined aS fol-
lows:
Germany feels that the conference
suggested by it first should be COM
posed Of delegates from the bclliger-
ent countries whose duty it would be
to settle territorial terms. Once
these terms are agreed upon, repre-
sentatives of the neutralS should be
called in to participate to consider
the questions OF guarantees for the
future, in which neutrals are as vi
tally concerned as belligerents. These
guarantees, in the German view, nee
esSarily would have to do with the
freedom of the seas, limited disarma-
ment, formation of world league Of
nations to enforce peace and the es-
tablishment of an international court
of arbitration.
Germany is said to consider that
neutral nations can have no interest
of their own in terms such a. those
relating to territory.
Count Won Bernstorff had not plan
ned to return to Washington until
today, but because of the situation
deemed it advisable to be at the en-
bassy Immediately. The Ambassador
had no specific instructions to call up
on Secretary Lansing, but it is not
inprobable that he will visit the State
Department within the next few days
TO seek information for his Govern
ment and furnish the administration
with any he himself may have in his
possession.
Just what the United States could
do towards bridging the gulf in case
the allies hold to their opposition 70 a

discussion among officials, but as yet
