KAISER AND
THEU.S. ARE
AGREED
Differences Between Germany
and America Seem Near a
Settlement, With 0vertures
Just Made by the Teutons
{ BY United Press Leased wire.) }

tBy United Press Leased Wire.)
Washington, Jan. 8.-Complete and
final settlement OF all submarine con-
troversies with the central powers.
including the Persia and Lusitania
cases. seems near today. following
overtures from Germany yesterday.
Pessimism has been dissipated.
From Austria and Germany the
government has formal binding
pledges concerning future conduct
OF submarine warfare in accordance
with international law. These were
contained in Austria's Ancona note
and in Germany's submarine message
yesterday.
Now the administration is con-
cerned only over reparation in the
Persia and Lusitania cases. Ger
many's promised disavowal OF the
Persia incident II it should prove
one OF her submarines was respon-
sible, is believed to be the forerunner
OF similar action on Austria's part.
Having promised reparation in the
Lusitania case. the only thing now
necessary to a settlement is dis
avowal.
Further evidence OF the settlement
OF the controversy came today In the
German note OF November 80 in the
VIM. p. Frye sinking case, made
public by Secretary Lansing. In this
was revealed complete agreemen,
with the American position, Germany
specifically agreeing that passengers
shall not be put to sea in small boats
unless the sea is calm and land near
There wss no authority today foI
the statementtthat the administration
will not insist upon an unequivoca
disavowal OF the Lusitania torpedo
ing. Germany's promise OF repara
ton may be considered sufficient
however, to meet American demands
in the case.
The failure of Austria and Ger
many to receive any report of thu
Persia sinking led to the beliei tina
the cause may never be known.
