Berlin Note Is Considered Impatient Move In Submarine Case
The American note to Germany arrived in Berlin and Ambassador Gerard plans to present it early. Secretary Lansing and Count von Bernstorff met at the State Department for about twenty minutes. Officials say a German reply within two to three days is physically impossible and Berlin must act soon. The note demands submarines target only military ships and uphold international law, with relations possibly severed if not. The president awaits Germany’s decision over the next three or four days before considering further steps.
