It was recalled today that relations betwen the United States and Germany were seriously strained when the German ambassador was given virtually a free hand to con- duct the negotiations. In some official quarters the bellef prevails that it was the negotiations conducted by Count von | Bernstorff which prevented the situation | from becoming more serious than it at one time admittedly was.

It hr considered that with a knowledge nfl American views and the advantage of | personal contact with United States of- | ficlals the baron might be able to ae-| complish more than could result from exchange of diplomatic communications. The charge is known to have had word of some sort from his home government. It also is known that his attention was ealled to the reply which was made to the first American note.
