tDepartment in Washington to.

it was announced that the
:Ambassador would shed furthoe
light on the attitude of the Get-
. man government regarding
America‘s demands in the sub-
marine centroversy.
Mr. Gerard is understood to
have already reported that strong
politcal influences are at work in
Germany to prevent a rupture b0»
tween the two nations Labor
leaders and Socialists were rep»
resented as being particularly a6-
verse to a severance of diplo-
matic relations. The Ambassadu
is said to have reported that
there were strong indication of
Germany's willingness to make
some concessions Whether the”
concessions will be broad
enough to meet the American
demand is problernatlcal.
The fact that the Ambassador
and the Chancellor conferred at
some length was pointed to in
Washington as a hopeful sign. 1!
Germany was not disposed. to
meet the demands of the United
States. it was believed that there
would have been no lengthy dio-
cussion.

the conference had been held, ad
that the German reply won“
