Berlin, April 26.--It Is understood

submarine question with Admiral Won

Pledges Can Be Restated.
Berlin, April 25.-The outcome of
the present crisis depends on what
President Wilson and the American
government wants. The general view
of the present situation as cleaned
from conversations with a number of
persons close to official circles is about
as follows:
If President Wilson and the Amer-
can government are arguing that
earlier concessions by Germany have
not been adhered to and insist that
the submarine campaign be conducted
without deviation within the limits of
German assurances and pledges in
former notes, then a settlement prob
ably can he arranged, notwithstanding
what is considered the sharp and I'M
friendly tone" of the American note
The pledges probably can be restated.
II need be, and definitely reformulat-
ed so that there can be no possibility
OF error on question of responsibility
No Further Limitation Likely.
If, however. the United States in
sists on further limitation of the sub
marine war against commerce. then
there appears to be little chance of
agreement for satisfactory settle
ment, and 1t is considered that
breach of diplomatic relations, II it
should come, would in all probability
be only a temporary status, and would
soon develop into an actual state of
war.
This view is not official or authori-
tative. but represents the opinion OF
persons who are in position to be
well informed
To Learn Wilson's Intentions.
These persons carefully refrained
from making definite or authoritative
predictions, and specified that they
were voicing only their own opinions.
but these may possibly be straws
showing which way the wind Is blow

The request OF Doctor Won Beth

Ambassador Gerard Is thought to have
