The United States Government To

Continue Investigation

Washington, Oct: 12. As a result of

too confereneo botween President W1I

on and Secretary Lansing at Long

Branch, N. J., It was stated authori

tatively thai! no evidence of the break

ing of Germany's promises to t'jo Unit

cd States "uad been discovered so far

In connection with tho submarine ac

tivities off the American coast last

Sunday, but that tho American govern

ment will continue its Investigations

ond will watch very closely any repe

tition of the attacks.

Administration olllclals apparontly

fcar that difficulties may result ir Ger

man submarine warfaro Is carried out

on a larse scale on this side of the Afc

iantlc, and that therefore It is necetr

eary for tho ijovornnient to seek all

ftvUs obtainable. .

btrauso lit this fear, it was thought

probaulo that means will bo found for

discovering whether Germany intend?

to content herself with tho damage

done last Sunday or will continue sub

marine warfaro on thl ulde of the At

lantic. bfflclal3 heio expect that tho reports

from Rear Admiral Knight, which will

bo based on tho statements of officers

on tho relief flotilla of American de

stroyers that was at tho eceno of the

raid off Nantucket, will be ready ror

consideration within a few days. It is

emphasized that the government is

making ovcry effort to complete its In

quiry as soon as possible, but that 11

wants to avoid a nasty or ill-advised

decision In so Important a matter.

Whether the German commander

took proper caro for tho safety of the

persons be put into small boats from

tho attacked vessels Is a question in

olvlng points on which officials be

Uoyo thcro Is no clear precedent, and

en which a decision by the United

States might approximate a precedent.

at least so far as concerns any further

submarine operations Germany may

contemplate on .this side, of tho At

lantic , , " " -

Before any, po'Iey is 'determined

upon it Is .spotted that the opinion

of the neutrality board, created at tho

boerinnln? of the war to advlso the

state department Jn regard to such

questions, wilt bo consulted,

Considerable interest centers on the

continued Jsilciico ojf the allied embas

sies Agslin it was stalod. -positively

nt tho 3tate 'donartment that no repre

sentations' of any sort had tyecn re

ceived frbm the ,allles as a result of

tho Xf-n3's visit to Newport or her,
