most authentic authority.
Pending negotiations, submarines
are under explicit instructions. The
nature' of these is unknown. How
ever, but they furnish assurance that
there will be no repetition of torpedo
attacks while the present negotiations
are In progress. The crisis was pass
ed on Tuesday when Von Jagow re
ceived the Information regarding Wil
son's attitude. Opinion differs as to
whether the credit belongs to Gerard
or Bernstorff. Bernstorff has play
ed an important part because he has
had a free hand in handling negotia
tions. The formal reply will be delay
ed several days, pending the receipt
of Bernstorff's statement of Wilson's
exact stand.

Work to Prevent Break.
WASHINGTON, April 27. Bern
storff and Gerard were doing their ut
most to prevent a rupture today. An
American official said "7here is n
question but that Bernstorff is anx
ious to avoid a break He will do all
that is possible to continue friendly
relations and has done so In the past.
He is in the hardest sort of a posi
tion but his work is appreciated, while
Bernstorff Is trying to meet Wilson's
views, it is believed unlikely that the
executive will demand greater haste
or take any action resulting in em
barrassment" Private advices from Berlin indi
cated that Germany's reply would not
arrive until the end of next week.
