as to the attitude which will be taken
by President Wilson, with whom the de-
csion rests, high official circles are con-
WINGED that only direct evidence of in
sufficient steps to protect life will de-
velop diplomatic issue over the incl
dent between the United States and Ger
many. A statement of the facts has
been requested from the American naval
officers at Newport.
While the President and Secretary
Lansing were in conference at Long
Branch today discussing new aspects of
submarine warfare. the state department
disclosed that the United States would
not accede to contention of the al
lies that all belligerent submarines,
whether war craft like the us or
merchantmen like the Deutschland,
snouId be denied access to neutral waters
and neutral ports. Acting Secretary Polk
announced that a reply to the allies
memorandum on the subject, declining
to be bound by the suggested restric-
tons laid down by the entente allies
government had been dispatched.
WILL WAIT REPORTS
Reports on the matter for care of per-
sons on the ships sunk off Nantucket
will be taken as soon as possible by
Rear Admiral Knight, commandant OF
the destroyer flotilla which picked up
22O persons turned adrift, together with
statements from the destroyer command
ers giving the personal opinions of the
officers as to whether the question OF
safety was adequately met by the Ger
man commander. Affidavits from masters
of the sunken ships also will be sent.
l. On these reports, many officials be-
lieve, depends the policy of the govern
ment. II they convince the President
that Germanys pledges have not beer
complied with, the whole submarine con-
troversy, officials expect, will be thrown
open again. The conference today be-
tween the President and Secretary Lans-
ing was called, it is understood here,
to consider this possibility.
1t is contended in some quarters that
under the conditions there are elements
of danger in placing passengers in open
boats so miles from shore, At the same
time attention is called to the fact thai
the point of the raid off Nantucket lay
and outgoing steamers, any one of which
might have afforded rescue. The pres
ence of the American destroyers, officials
agree, should not have been considered
by the German commander and woule
not lessen his responsibility.
The allied embassies today continued
their policy of silence. No comment
was made on the state departments an
ncuncement that this government had re
fused to accede to the allied contention
regarding submarines in neutral waters
Every indication was that orders of Sc
crecy have been issued from the entent
capitals.
