ture of the respective en-
bassies at Washington and

dress TO congress. appears to be
very slight Judging by all the
information some of the high
est authenticity, gathered here
by the Associated Press.
Germany Determined.
1t was stated positively In
high political circles that the
German orders for theGonduot
of submarine warfare could
not and would not be modified:
that in Germany the determi-
nation to enforce the prOhib-
tied zone order was absolute
and final and that the only SEE
curity for shipping was in
avoidance of the prohibited
I zone.
Germany, so the Associated Press
was informed resor,ed to this measure
after the shameful" rejection by the
entente powers OF peace 'over'urcs and
only after the fulles, determination and
as the imperative weapon IN defense OF
its threatened interests; Germany can.
{ not rclnQuish this weapon--the only
orc promising a speedy end 10 the wsf
reluctant as Germany was TO take
! this step.
Officials Disappointed.
The government had hoped that the
United States would see II IN this light
and was and IS sctuated by no animos.
lty to the United S,aWs in its determi-
nation Germany, therefore. so the high
informant OF the Associated Press con-
tnued, is very keenly disappointed and
grieved by the terms OF Mr.. Wilson's
message but the government cannot alter
