(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON. Oct. 21.—Secre.tarv
Lansing said today he had reason to
believe the German reply to Presldenl’
Wilson would be received very short:
1y, perhaps before the day was over.
’ The Secretary did not indicate what
information had reached him to clean
up the uncertainty regardingth‘e com“,
in: of a German reply created by con-
flicting unofficial reports thropgh neu-
tral sources. He said of course there,
could be no comment upon the vari-
ous versions of the. probable nature
of the note.
At the Swiss Legation. throuzh'
which the note will come. it was said,
this morning not even an intimation}
had been received that a communica-l
tion was on its way. l
Germany. according to information
received here, has asked a neutral
government to inform President Wil-
. son that Germany is prepared to agree
.; .to a neutral
commission to investi-
‘ > gate charges of devastation.
