The opinion here today was that a diplomatic break was certain and war a strong possi bility. This view la based on the fact that Germany has emphasized that tho submarine Is the most effective wea pon against England.

The British attitude ranges from quiet satisfac tion to Jublllatton. It was believed that the note was likely to Influence other neutrals. The Chronicle said editorially: "Diplomatic relations will be broken. The resulting situation will not be a slate of war. but may easily develop Into war." The Pall Mall Gaxette said: "Tho noted significance lies in the fuel that Wilson will be unable longer to with hold cognisance of the true churacter of the German policy. America is to be congratulated on the fact that It has reached the point where it wll. not be compelled to wear the full liv ery of official neutrality " The Manchester Guardian said: "We do not exult over the prospect of Am erica's entrance Into the war but do exult over the prospect of a victorj lor the Ideals of law and humanity.

One section la missing; Gerard ex pect to give the enure note to Von Jagow this afternoon. A confident!' message to the embassy enjoined ab solute silence WASHINGTON, April 10. German Ambassador Bernstorff today discuss ed with Secretary of State Lansing possibility of averting a diplomatic break between Germany and Ameri ca. He obtained Lansing's views of the steps necessary to make Ger many's submarine warfare conform to America's Idea of law and human ity. Bernstorff declined to comment on the conference It was understood he does not take a hopeless view of the situation. It is known he gave Lansing reason to believe that an other disaster similar to the Sussex will not occur while the present ne gotiations are being conducted. Ha pointed out that since America has asked for a distinct cnange in the sub marine policy, numerous conferences between Berlin officials must result. Marines were sent to guard the wireless stations at Tuckerton and Sayville. Secretary Daniels said he would not seixe the stations. Ne steps have been taken to watch in terned German vessels. The inclusion of the word "alto gether" in the president's threat ot : a severance of relations with German? was merely for emphasis. Lansing J said. He would nbt Indicate to what e.Tte.nt that severance mlvhl wn Tt . recalling of Gerard would accomplish the break. Probably Bernstorff would be handed his passports, but this Is unessential. Circumstances will govern the situation, Lansing said. The administration's earnestness obviously impressed Berflstorff. He fully reported the situation to Von Jagow. The state department reiterated the contention that Germany must with draw its submarines and confine Its attacks to warships pending the re sult of the American note. Senator Kern called at the White House early today and said that con gress was not disposed to discuss the situation: thus leaving the president unembarrassed. Replying to criticisms like Gores, who said that the president was risk ing a war because a few rash Ameri cans insisted upon traveling oa armed ships, the White House point ed out that the controversy has shift ed entirely from the armed mer chantmen angle as a result of the Sussex Incident. The Sussex was un armed and was not a merchantman. Among the Americans aboard were newspapermen, a government courier and embassy attaches, the very nature of whose work necessitates their presence aboard under a belligerent flag, since it was Impossible now to reach France on a neutral vessel.
