rncnt from Berlin that new and deflnlt
Instruction r to be given to German
lubmnrlti commander i the first posi
tive Indication of how Germany will at
tempt to meet I'resldent Wilson' final
demand that It declare and effect so
abandonment of the present mathoda of
submarine warfare.
Whether the new Instruction will meet
the term of th last American not and
thu prevent a break In diplomatic relit
tiona can only be determined by a close
ind careful examination.
President Wilson is represented by
those closest about him aa unshaken in
hla determination that th lain I not
negotiable; that a settlement cannot be
delayed by discussion or aide Issue s ich
a the British blockade and retaliatory
measures; that the controversy between
the countries can proceed further in di
plomacy only If Germany effectually

confine of International law.
With a declaration that auch orde-a
hav been given and evidence tht they
will be called out In good faith, the
president la willing to discuss th con
duct of aubinarlne warfare, but only upon
that basis.
The nswa that new Instructions to sub

outcome of the long dispute, but Ml
comment Is being rejerved until th
neweat Oerman communication can
