WASHINGTON. February lo.-5er-
many has taken steps TO open dis
cussion with the United States of means
Of preventing war between them.
In seeking an exchange OF views on
tho subject however. it is not under
stood that the Berlin government has
proposed any modification OF it's ruth

here feel that they cannot enter upon
such a discussion while vessels con
tiuuc TO be destroyed in violation OF
international law.
The new move is understood to be
predicated upon a willingness on Ger
many's part TO discuss especially tho
Safeguarding OF American ships and
American lives on the seas. and backed
by renewed expression of the desire,
OF the German government to prevent
the diplomatic breach from leading to-
actual hostilities. Just how American

NATTER or SPECULATION
As TO ULTERIOU MOTIVE
What may be the ultcrior motive
back OF the step also is a matter of
speculation. In some quarters there is
evident feeling that it merely is q
play Tor time, designed to postpone
amy further action BY the United States
until the starvation blockade against
England either has succeeded or failed.
Elsewhere there are suggestions thac
there may be behind il 4 sincere desire
To make sacrifices TO preserve peace
between the United States and Ger
many. and may como as response to
the appeals understood to have been
sent abroad by pacitists in this country.

that President Wilson is contemplating

February DISAGREEMENT circles and

action OF President Wilson regarding
the relations between Austria Hungary

have been extremely rabid. Ail the
