BERLIN, MAY 14 -THE AMERICAN NOTE PROTESTING AGAINST GERMANY'S SUBMARINE WARFARE AND THE KILLING OF AMERICANS IN THE WAR ZONE, WAS PRESENTED TO THE FOREIGN OFFICE THIS MORNING BY AMBASSADOR GERARD. (By A.

M. Jamieson, International Staff Correspondent.) AT WHITE HOUSE, WASHINGTON, MAY GERMANY WILL NOT YIELD TO THE DEMANDS OF THE UNITED STATES, BUT WILL JUSTIFY HER SUBMARINE WARFARE, AND ASSERT THE RIGHT TO CONTINUE PLANS SHE HAS LAID TO DESTROY THE COMMERCE OF ENGLAND AND OF ALL OTHER NATIONS THAT ARE NOW CARRYING THE MUNITIONS OF WAR AND OTHER SUPPLIES TO HER ENEMIES. THIS IS THE PREVAILING OPINION IN WASHINGTON. THEN WHAT? GERMANY MUST DECIDE BUT IT IS NOT BELIEVED THAT PRESIDENT WILSON WILL GO FURTHER THAN TO DENOUNCE GERMANY AS AN OUTLAW AMONG NATIONS FOR A WAR IS NOT REGARDED AS A POSSIBILITY AS GERMANY IS ONE OF THE BELLIGERENT AND CANNOT AT THIS TIME STRIKE BACK AT THE UNITED STATES All her warships, except submarines, are behind fortifications and she therefore cannot send her soldiers across the Atlantic. On the other hand it is not believed that the United States would send her soldiers to European waters when there is nothing visible to fight President Wilson will direct his efforts toward the avoidance of war in any form.

A warlike step will be only taken when it is necessary to protect the country's commerce on the seas. If things come to the worst, the President would discontinue diplomatic relations with Germany and seize all German vessels interned. He would designate, torpedo destroyers to convey merchant vessels, like to be attacked by submarines, to European ports. It is not expected that a reply will long be delayed. The opinion prevails that President Wilson cannot recede from the position he has taken without impairing American prestige.

For this reason the war clouds are seen today by expert observers of international affairs aftid they also see that Germany and the United States have reached a deadlock.
