Situation Arising From
New Issues Regarded
as Serious by Ameri

Ambassador ' Gerard Changes
Attitude Toward Officials
and Indicates He Has Noth

for His Government. ' .
Takes Position That Ho Must Stand
Rigidly by Declared Policy ,pt
Washington, Without Further Sug
gestion. of Compromise; No Longer
Visits Chancellery.
By CARL W ACKERMAN
BERUN, July 3.
There Is no chance to doubt that the
flotation growing out of the new differ
ences between tho United States and Ger
many Is regarded hero as extremely seri
ous. Americans In Berlin who are In
touch with the American Embassy know
that tho feeling there has become ex
tren.ely grave.
Ambassador Gerard In his dealings with
the Foreign Olttco lias aaopica a aim m
tltudo. lndlcatlnu ln'cftect that the Lusl-
tanla Incident Is closed as far as nc.
speaking for the United States Govern
ment. Is concerned; that he expects to
have nothing further to communicate to
Germahy on tho subject.
This attitude on the part of the Ambas
sador Is now. Gerard, who was In closest
touch with developments both here and
at home, made strong efforts In tho direc
tion of an agreement between tho two
Governments, 1 learned today. He even
sent to Washington, following the dis
patch of the last German note, several
propositions urging a compromise and
pointing out the possibilities for an
amlcablo understanding.
Gerard now, however, has taken the
position that Inasmuch as President Wil
son declines to commit the United States
tn Btipt. rnmnrnmliA hn nfl ATnhnxRnn'or
must stand rigidly by the declared policy
of the United States,
I have heard many expressions or re
gret that Gerard was unablo to see the
Kaiser In an attempt to clear up the sit
uation. He, of course, now considers the
time' past for such a conferencovwlth the
Emperor,
It was known today thai Ambassador
Gerard had cabled the State Depart
ment requesting hereafter that he bo
notified by cable ?5-th departure . of
