Pres ident Wilton and Secretary of State Lansing discnssed in detail at Shad ow Lawn tonight German submarine attack on merchantmen Sunday off the New England coast The conference lasted until late to night and will be continued tomor row morning." ' " " It was indicated by official today that fact o .far collected through governmental agencies have disclosed no grounds for drastic action by the United States government because of the attacks thetnele. No evidence ha been found that international law ha been violated by the German sub marine or submarines. It was understood, however, that tlie president and tcretart discussed the wisdom of pointing out to Ger many the inadvssability of operating its submarine in proximity to the territorial water of the United State. Fraught with Danger. Administration officials took the position that the transferring of sub marine warfare o close to America s shore wat fraught with grave dan ger because of the possibility of mil take being made by submarine com mander. Report that strong senti ment exists in Germany for the re sumption of submarine warfare on a broader scale caused soma alarm among official.' The announcement of Counselor Polk of the State department in Washington today -that the United State will refuse to accept the con tention of the entente allies that neu trals should deny the use of their harbor to all submarines, preceded . the arrival of Secretary Lansing here The president and the secretary of state went over this point in connec tion with the discussion of the entire issue. -'v Cited a Precedent Iff discussion of the submarine at tacks Sunday, officials here referred to diplomatic correspondence be tween the United States and Great Britain, beginning in 1914, in which the American government protested against the patroling of the American coast outside the three-mile limit by British warship. This was pointed to a providing I precedent for th pro testing against the proximity of Ger man submarine to tne American coajt . In the correspondence with Great Britain, the United State took the position that it always had main tained, that patrolling by belligerent cruiser in "close proximity" to port of tbt United State was inconsistent with the treatment to be expected from the vessel of a friendly power in time of war. Great Britain did not admit the legal correctness of the po sition of the United State, but prom ised to do everything possible to avoid annoying American shipping Whil no format announcement wa made it was considered probable the United State ' would take a similar position with regard to German sub marine operation. . Data Being Collected. There was absolutely no indication that, the president and Secretary Lansing had any ground for thinking Germany had violated its promise not to attack merchantmen without warning and without providing for the safety of the pasaenger and crew. It was stated, however, that t evidence was still being collected and that no final decision on this point had been reached. , . Shortly before Secretary Lansing arrived here. Jute Jusserand, the French ambassador, conferred with President Wilton, chiefly on Mexican affair. He said he came to enlist the support of the president in obtain ing the rescinding of a decree issued by the Carrania government which nas had the ettect of "sequestering" about $60,000,000- of French money invested in two bank in Mexico City. CONTlPllAR, URGES ASQDITH IN MESSAGETO HOUSE " (rwtinna ft m Ow.) river communication and the health of the troop had improved. The de feat of the Turk at the Katia Oasis, east of the Suex canal, had gone far to remove the danger of attack on the canal and had impaired Turkish pres tige in Arabia in Syria. In western Egypt the Senusst tribesmen had been reduced to impotence. The allied armies on the Saloniki front had in flicted heavy losses on their oppo nents and p-evented them from trans ferring tl it to Dobrudja, thus rendering assistahct to Russia and Roumanta. African Conquest Nearly Over. The whole of the German east Africa coat had been occupied, the premier continued, and the complete conquest of the colony was only a matter of time. The premier gave high praise to General Smut and the Belgian troops, which are co operating with him. In the west Mr. Asquith said, the French and British had advanced a distance of seven miles on a front of nine miles, but the most import , ant feature of the advance was that in no case had a counter attack suc ceeded in driving ;'them "back. The German had virtually abandoned the attack on Verdun and their losses had been very heavy. He gave the total number of prisoner taken by the al lies on the Somme front as 0.474. in addition to which there had been cap tured w guns ana i.uou machine gun. Allied air craft, he added, had attained complete mastery of the Ger ;' mans. . Praise For Allies. Premier Asquith referred to the Do RuMtMBf tor Tow CoM. At the tint nn of a ooush or eold Uk Xff.

TICKLISH FOR NEUTRALS Washington, Oct 11. Allied war ship now patrolling the Atlantic coait in search of the German subma rine U-53, which raided enemy mer chant shipping off Nantucket Sun day, would be required to ascertain the nationality of any submarine sighted before attacking in the be lief that it was art enemy craft, ac cording to terms of the latest United States memorandum to the allied na tions, published today. The memorandum was in reply to the allies' protest against the United State granting the right of entry to American port to either merchant or war submarines of belligerent na tions. Commenting on the allied powers' suggestion that it might be dangerous to allow neutral submarines to visit waters in which enemy submarines also might be found, the American memorandum asserts that "responsi bility for any conflict that may arise between belligerent warships and neu tral submarines must rest entirely upon the negligent powers." The United States represents that the allies have failed to show reason why belligerent submarines should be denied entrance into neutral waters and reserves the free right to deal with such craft Nebraska Man Direct From Front Tells of the War (Ooatnno From Pago One.) and dune outside the hospital and Hided in a droll way. "But all the British left after the war is over can go home in one boat" Another indication of the feeling in regard to the changed situation in the war, the doctor found to be the com plete absence of any fear now that the Germans may break through the line and menace Pari or any of the big cities. "Instead of fearing the coming of the Germans now, the French are talking of the reorganization after victory comes. They are talking with fiery patriotism of a greater France, 'We'll get back Alsace-Lorraine,' they are saying. 'We'll expand our colon ies, and be the greatest r ranee since the days of the emperor'" A splendid opportunity to observe racial characteristics, and study the respective fighting qualities of the va. nous troops, was afforded these sur geon.

Of course there is bayonet fighting, but in all the many thou sands of cases handled in hospital during the fourteen months Mr. Dale was there, there was but one bayonet wound. The Bremen was caught by the English in a net, according to a story told by a British officer to Dr. Dale less than three weeks ago. "I cannot say whether this is true or. not," said the doctor, "but the British naval of ficer who told me is a man whom I have known for a year, and a man for whom I have a very high regard.
