England.' alleged orders to merchant ships to attack submarines, as claimed by Germany,' seemed today to offer the last hope for a satisfactory adjust ment of the German-American dead lock. If those orders are proved to exist, the American position toward Ger i I many may be somewhat altered. AmbasHador von Bernstorff'a in structions from Berlin, however, offered no apparent basis for a settle ment. The German envoy had an appointment with Secretary Lansing shortly before noon. Austrian Charge d'Affalres Zwie- denok also had instructions from his government in the matter ot the Teuton decree for war on armed mer chant vessels, and It was regarded as possible he would visit Lanalng also. Though the state department heads expect no postponement of this de cree, they were gratified that Ger many, in her Instructions, haa recog nfced that the Lusitanla settlement Is Involved In the decree dispute. Von Bernetorff'a word from Ber lin was reported to Include assur ances that Germany recognises the pledgee given in the Lusitanla and Aralbio cases not to attack peaceful ships without warning, hut it ia said to hold that armed vessels are not peaceful ships entitled to such con sideration. , , Congress is not expected to inter fere in the administration's German American course. Excitement there has subsided. Senator Gore said he would not press his resolution call ing for warning to Americana' to keep off armed belligerent merchant ships, and the house pacificists hafe practically abandoned similar agita tion. The house and senate kept hands off in the situation. It is reported Bernstorff'a instruc tions point out that danger to Amer icans from the German decree is re mote and administration men believe this Is a fact, particularly as no arm ed British, French or Russian ships touch America and take American passengers. The general arming of Italian ships is the principal dan ger. But Germany la not at war with Italy, so naturally would not attack her ships. Any dispute about Americans on Italian armed ahlpa Would probably be with j Austrln, which la at war with Italy. It Is reliably reported that Ger many la not yet proposing to discuss ENGLISH ORDER MAY what constitutes defensive arma ment. Ambassador Dernatorff conferred with Charge Zwledenek before going to the conference with Lansing. The ombuKsy said it did not expect post ponement of the armed enemy mor chantmen decree.
