Believe Germany May Postpone
Opening Of New Submarine Policy

Both at the State Department and in
German embassy circles yesterday after
noon there appeared to be strong be-
lief prevailing that Germany and Austria
would be willing to postpone the effective
date of their new submarine campaign
from March l to April !.
Whether this belief. backed by more
or less definite information from Ger
man sources, was responsible for Secre-
tarv Lansing's assurance to Chairman
Flood of the House Committee on For
eign Affairs that the situation was i'm
proved" 1t is known that Count Won
Bernstorff has advised his government
that such an offer might be advisable. As
Austria is following closely the lead OF
Germany, II is regarded as certain that
postponement by one would mean a
postponement by both.
In that event officials of the depart
ment are more than ever convinced that
further discussion of the issue between
the two governments is inevitable. 1t is
regarded almost as a certainty that Ger
many will instruct Ambassador Won
Bernstorff to inquire of the United States
how IT Is possible to draw a distinction

between armament for ofrense and arm
ament for defense. In the light OF the
orders given by the British admiralty to
British merchant ships TO use their de-
fensive armament to fire on hostile sub
marines at sight. Having asked the Ques-
ton. Germany, 1t is assumed. would be
willing to postpone the operation Of her
new campaign pending a reply from the
United States.
In the absence OF the appendices TO the
German declaration. which appendices
contain what purports to be the oficial
text of the British orders, officials OF
the State Department admit that II would
be difficult for the United States, of
hand. to answer such a query from Ger
many.
1t is possible therefore, officials sug-
ested, that the United States, before tax
ing a final stand with Germany, might
inquire of the British government as to
the authenticity of the alleged secret or
ders. Should Great Britain repudiate the
orders as represented in the German text.

AUDIENCE TOURS BRITAIN.
EImendorf shows Pictures of Ire
land, Scotland and England.

The British Isles was the subject
yesterday afternoon of the first travel
talk Of Dwight l. Elmendorfs annual
tour, to be given at the National Thea
ter on FIVE consecutive Thursday after
moons. His lecture did not contain one
word of the great war.
The delightful journey began at
Queenstown thence to Cork, and thence
over the beautiful Irish roads to Blarney
Castle, where Mr.. Elmendorf's pictures
showed the dangers attendant upon kiss
ing the famous Blarney stone.
Every foot of the way in Ireland, the
lecturer stated, tells a story, and he said
it was necessary that his auditors should
believe all stories, as he did when trav-
cling, in order to fully appreciate the
romantic beauty of this country.
The Lakes of Killarney are no more
beautiful than the North Shore. The
visit to England was brief, only as a
bridge to Scotland, to the country of
Bobby Burns and Wallace. Melrose Alb
hey, Abbotsford, Stirling Castle, and in
Vulnerable others were visited.

ABSENTEES PREVENT
FLETCHER CONFIRMATION
Senate Hears Objections to Recogniz-
ing Mexican Government by APP
proyal of Wilson's Man for Envoy.

After discussing the nomination of
Henry p. Fletcher, designated to be
Ambassador to Mexico. for almost an
hour late yesterday afternoon, the
Senate adjourned without confirming
him because of failure to obtain q
Quorum. His confirmation at the next
executive session is considered as
sured.
The vote was "a to IL for confrma-
ton, four less than quorum, and
due to Democratic absentees. The
fight against confirmation was led by
Senators Borah, William Alden Smith,
and Fall, all Republicans, on the
ground that to send any Ambassador
to Mexico would amount to official
recognition of a government in Mex
leo that ought never to have been
recognized by the United States. No
personal objection was raised against
the nominee.
