The report ln tin- street was based on popular Indig nation over the commander's act In deceiving the German naval authori ties regarding the vessel he admitted i Hacking His report was Implicitly I believed until America presented con 1 elusive evidence to the contrary. In I view of this evidence the Germans feel that they have been humiliated. It is not overstating the case to say that the deception caused as much Indig nation in Berlin as in Washington. Desiring to avoid a break with Am erica at all costs, Germany has taken two important steps within a fort night to Improve relations. Subma rine concessions were the first step. A quiet movement to squelch Teuton plotters and propagandists in Ameri ca and anti-American propaganda In Germany, constituted the other step. Gerard recently received scores of threats against his lire. Newspaper insinuations that he tipped off the Irish rebellion to England Inspired the writers. Though Germany disclaimed responsibility for bomb plotters in America, Hollweg believes that dras tic measures should be taken to con vince America that Germany has nothing to do with the extremists. Conferences on this subject have been on In Berlin for a week. Officials declare the acts of plot ters are without the kaiser's sanction. Berlin chiefly is worried over the pos sibility someone will torpedo a mer chantman without warning, believing it a transport and thus precipitate a new crisis. The kaiser Is particularly anxious that submarine commande not take any chances of Involving Germany in fresh controversies with America. If the new submarine or ders were published it would con vince the most skeptical that Ger many was much concerned. In pre venting future accidents. Heventlow is practically alone in, crying for vengeance. His occasion- a outbursts against Wilson probably are intended for home consumption. Gerard has won the hearty praise of Berlin for his diplomacy In the sub marine crisis. Indicating Germany's desire to avoid a break, the govern ment asked five departments what t do when Wilson's ultimatum was re ceived. The foreign office, treasury department and department of the In terior answered, "Settle." E OUT 1 0FFICIAL Vice Chancellor Delbrueck Resigns Under Pressure for His Failure to Handle Situation.
