'From Tha Tribtma Burfta 1
Washington, Nov. 24. The charge
that recent press reports from Berlm
of an approaching crisis with the
I'nited States over submarine warfare
were inspired m this country was
made oy Secretary Laaaiag in a public
statement to-day. Iie denied at the
same time that the State Department
had a.iy more reason for uneasiness
over the situation than it had had for
the last three weeks.
"I don't know the origin of thaM
rumors in regard to the submarine
.ituation." aaid Mr. Lansing, "but I
have an impression that they are be?
ing created in this country "
Whiie the Daaratary would not par
ticularize. it was inferred that he be?
lieved the rumors were inspired elthot
to affect the jtock market or by per?
sons latareatcd Ib provoking a eriaia
in relations with e'ermany.
