THE HAGUE, May evere pun
ishment has been meted out TO the
commander Of the submarine which
attacked the Sussex, it was generally
believed In Berlin, though an official
report was lacking. The report in
the street was based on popular indig-
nation over the commanders act in
deceiving the German naval authori-
ties regarding the vessel he admitted
attacking His report was implicitly
believed until America presented con-
elusive evidence to the contrary In
view of this evidence the Germans feel
that they have been humiliated. II
is not Overstating the case to say that
the deception caused as much indig-
nation in Berlin as in Washington.
Desiring to avoid a break with Am
erica at all costs, Germany has taken
two important steps within a fort
night to improve relations. Subma-
rine concessions were the first step.
A quiet movement to squelch Teuton
plotters and propagandists in Amerl-
ca and anti-American propaganda in
Germany, constituted the other step.
Gerard recently received scores Of
threats against his life. Newspaper
insinuations that he tipped off the Irish
rebellion to England inspired the
writer's. Though Germany disclaimed
responsibility for bomb plotters in
