squared with the promises of Ger
many in the Lusitania case, IL was
stated.
It is said that the administration
considers that the discussion be-
tween the secretary Of state and the
German ambassador have run their
usefulness in view OF the impasse
and personal feeling between the
two.
Secretary Lansing conferred for
half an hour with President Wilson
today. He refused positively later
to discuss the conference with the
president. but il was learned that
the Lusitania negotiations constitut-
ed the substance Of the conference.
The president, il is said, plans to
have the negotiations with foreign
powers exposed more to the air.
Strong pressure not only from ad-
,ninistration leaders in congress, but
also from the friends OF the presi-
dent, has been brought To bear on
him to convey To the country clear
idea of the exact status of pending
negotiations and just what this
country desires of Germany and Eng
land and how long this country pro-
poses To pursue a waiting policy.
