War with America would follow In a few days after the breaking off of diplomatic relations between this country and Germany, Ambassador Von Bernstorff is ouoted as saying in today's New York Sun. "If relations are broken off," Bernstorff is quoted as saying, "Ger man submarines would be Instructed to sink everything and, of course, this would mean war with America." Denies He Said It. NEW YORK, Sept. U. When the WASHINGTON. Sept. 11. With a campaign on to end In terference of foreign diplomats in American Internal affairs, the administration today was re solved to go ahead to the blt'.er end. In the submarine controversy with Germany, however, the ad ministration was prepared to make any concessions, short of a sacrifice of Ha principles and dignity, to avoid a break. That Austria would aciiuiece gracefully In thf American re quest for Ambassador Dumba's recall was generally predicted. Regarding the submarine con troversy, however, the situation Is far more dubious. The Ger man note on the Arabic sinking Is so unacceptable to this gov ernment. It Is admitted, that It Is hard to see how a ' break with Germany Van be avoided, unless Germany makes further conces sions. WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.
