inform the German authorities pri-
vately that the United States intends
to carry out her Sussex note threat
of breaking relations if violations
arise.
Gerard here today was booked for
luncheon with German Ambassador
Won Bernstorff, a strictly social mat
ter, and for early conferences with
President Wilson and state depart

to state department officials about
what he knows of the German mind
concerning submarinings, likewise of
peace possibilities and commercial
plans for after the war.

with the president was indefinite

Since the presidents return from
Shadow Lawn, he has received from

formation from the state department

ties. The same new policy of abso-
lutte silence on the submarine prob
lem has been tnaugurated both at
