What is retarded aa one of the hope

ccnfldenc reflected In official and dip
lomatic quarter that Germany will
meet th United States at least half wsy
snd certainly will suspend for the time
It submsrine attack without warning
during th diplomatic, correspondence.
C'arawieat Over Aawowacemeat.
In this connection titer ha been much
oemment her over,,th recent announce
ments from London that Great Britain
did not understand from Germany s an
swer last March (that th principle ef
submarine warfare would be abandoned.
It was noted that; tha sams understand
ing when the Oerman and British re
plies sr , received to th American
proposal for th abandonment by Ger
many of submarine warfare and U us
of mine. In return for American super
vision of th distribution of foodstuff

would proceed In accordance with th
general rules of Intemat'onal law."
What England aald after reading th
Oerman reply, was:
"Th reply of th German government
to this not ha been published and It
is not understood from the reply that
the German government Is prepared to
abandon the practice of sinking British
merchant vessels by submarines."
Conelwsleae Reached!.
Official hers studied th not aad
ns me to th conclusion that Great Brit
ain meant to indicate In It answer that
it hot only wanted Germany to give up
attacks on merchantmen of all nationali
ties, but also that ne ship would be
confiscated unless certain ef condemna
tion a legal prise: Th United Etatee
and Great Britain have In the past eano
tloned th destruction . of prise only la
case ot military- neosasity and when
passenger and crew were removed te
place of ; safety. That a compromise
might be arranged whereby the declara
tion . of London' provision permitting
th dest ruction of belligerent ship
carrying cargoes more than half of
which ar contraband, waa a suggestion
discussed to .some extent today.
Th text of the two note wer care
filly atudied by many official and in
terested diplomats to determtn whether,
tn view of recent events, they would af
ford a new approach to th question
now at issue. There la a belief In well
informed diplomatic quarter that th
fundamental principle then discussed
will be revived In German's reply.

SECRETARY BRYAN
Bnmor that Auitria Will Try to Aid j
in Settlement of the Luti- !
tania Incident. j
TEUTONS KNOW U. S. HOUSED
"WASHINGTON. May 17. Dr.
ConstanUne Dumba, the Austrian
ambassador, had a conference today
with Secretary Bryan and other Stata
department officials. While the am
bassador would not discuss the ob
ject of his call, the impression pre
vailed In well Informed circles that
he had endeavored to sound out feel
ing; with a view toward assisting ir.
a peaceful settlement of the situa
tion with Germany.
It is known that the Austrian am
bassador and Count Bernstorff, the
German ambassadot, have been in
close consultation for several day?,
and that Austria Is watching with
deep Interest the course of events be
tween the United States and Its ally,
throwing Its influence in the direc
tion of preventing any rupture ii
friendly relations.
The seriousness of the sinking of the
Luaitanla, the Intense feeling It has
aroused in the United Btstes and the
country-wide support which has been
given to President Wilson's note are facta
which both the Austrian and German
ambassador are understood to have com
municated to their respective govern
ment. It waa believed also that they had cau
tioned extreme care, for the present at
least. In the submarine warfare to avoid
any act which would further Intensify
feeling tn th United States.
That th United Btates atanda firmly
on th absolute justice, both from a
le-el and a humane point of view, ot Its
position, and therefore has nothing to
arbitrate, was the Intimation which many
officials gave as the answer to sugges
tions that Germany would offe rto arbi
trate the questions raised In the Ameri
can note.
The American government. It was
pointed out. desire an absolute ac
ceptance of the principle of Its conten
tion through soms modus vivendl or
other arrangement, to be effective dur
ing the present war, may be considered,
whereby the belligerents would agree to
separate passenger and contraband traf
fic, or to disarm merchant ships plying
to or from American ports. Any such
terms. It wa stated, would hav to be
mad aa between th belligerents.
