, ceaI ilK-ir oatitleatiou at the attitude
Germany apparently lias assumed. It
1 is considered to be virtually in har
mony with the American viewpoint.
I Tension regarding the entire sub
marine question seemed to have le?s
ened coriajderabl.v. Austria, in its re
ply to tlie last Ancona nolo, having
as'juteii the i.'nitcd States of its inten
tions to operate submarines with due
regard for international law and the
prim tides of humanity Turkey and
. I'lulgaria, it is understood, next will
take step? to ?ive such guarantees. It

Under the terms of the proposal sub

tin indemnity. makes the reservation
that no admission of wiongrdoiug

that ' l.o l.u-itauia was sunk as an act
of reprisal fur tlie British blockade
of Germany;
While Secti'ta 1 \ I .an sing is under*
stood not to have indicated to Count

was satisfactory, a number of officials
in a position to be i.iiniliar with the.
American attitude indicated that it

The assurances regarding the con
din t dip submarine warfare in the Medi
terranean, obviously prompted by the
? sinking of tlie British steamship Persia,
I with a loss of |wo American lives, are
niii.-h broader in their scope than the
promises made after 111 e l.usitania dis
'aster covering ilie ope: ations of sub
marines tn the North Sea and adjacent
water? The latter guaranteed only
that "'liners should be immune from

It .ts revealed to-day; too. that In
the reply to the last note regarding

tiun office agreed with tlie American
view that small boats cannot under all
conditions lie considered, a place of
safety for persons leaving a ship about
to be attacked
The lierman governtm nt apparently
is not certain whether a Herman sub
marine sank the Persia, tiermany
inomises tiie United States in to-day's
communication that should it develop
that such was the case, the matter will
be investigated, and submitted to prize
court proceedings and that if the com
mander disobeyed his orders he will
be punished and reparation made for

fit i.'.eits.

instructions wero cabled to various
