mo Attacks Reported Which
Could Be Complained OF.

Berlin, via London, May - Herr
Won Jagow, the foreign minister, al
the sitting Of a committee of the
Relchstag, said the government had
not yet reached decision with re-
gard to the situation that had arisen
from the American note to Germany
regarding the submarine campaign. As
soon az tho imperial chancellor re.
turned from the headquarters, Herr
Won Jagow added, he would give the
committee definite information.
Washington, May 4. - Two weeks
have passed since the United States
dispatched to Germany its note de.
handing that an abandonment of pres
ent methods of submarine warfare i'm.
mediately be declared and effected,
and the state department is still with
out any definite information Indicating
that the demand will be complied with.
AS the days go by and no reply
comes from Berlin, and Ambassador
Gerard sends no word regarding the
attitude of the German government.
an air of grave concern is beginning
to manifest itself in administration
circles.
Try to Conceal Pesslmlsm.
Publicly officials continue to pre-
serve an air of optimism. Privately,
no attempt is made to conceal a con-
trary feeling.
1t is felt here that the very length
of time which has been consumed by
Berlin in preparing a. reply in itself in
dicates that the communication will
not be simple response to the direct,
clear-cut issue raised in the American
note. 1t is feared that the reply IL
likely to assume an argumentative
character which scarcely can be re-
garded as meeting the requirements
of the United States.
Hope for German Concessions.
Persons in close touch with affairs
at the German embassy, however, ex-
press themselves as being positive that
Germany will make concessions and
prevent the breaking off of diplomatic
relations.
In this connection, it is pointed out
that there even is possibility that
instructions to this end already have
been issued to submarine commanders,
there not having been reported during
the last few days attacks which could
be complained of.
No Report From Gerard.
Heretofore Mr.. Gerard has kept Sec
rotary Lansing and President Wilson
fully advised in advance as to prob
able governmental action and court
gossip as WELL In this crisis, he has
made no report whatever respecting
his conferences with Emperor Will
liam.
