This strengthens the probability that
u diplomatic break linn been averted,
at least for the present.
Tlu president will not roach a clef,

said Cabinet moiutyrs Here nuked
by tho president to give close atten

Chance lo Dcinntmlrnlc.
Administration officials stated that
V Germany doubtless would bo given a
chance to demonstrate her assurance
that submarine commanders have
been notified not to sink merchant
vessels without warning.
Secretary Lansing aheady haa atit
died the nolo once and was going
over It very carefully again t nday
There were Indlcatlona that further
cnmddcrnllon, by the cabinet would
no! lie necessary.
Overnlrfht study of tho nolo by
cabinet members and official! did not
change their view that probably
there would be no break lit diplomatic
relations unless there were further
attacks in violation of International
. There Is a possibility that the
l'n!t"d States may make a brief re
pl notlfvlng the Berlin government
that n h long as the new orders to
submarine commanders are fully ob
crvi a diplomatic relations will not
be discontinued on that score.
