WASHINGTON, May 20.—Ger- many has unofficially accepted the general principle in President Wil- son's mote that American citizens shall be protected and safeguarded by the United States under all con.) ditions. Asserting that It le contrary to all rulings of international law, she will, however, reject the eugges tion that the United States can de- mand the complete abandonment of the German submarine warfare. Germany holds that America's lega! rights extend only to the pro- tection..of. vessels of American register and the safety of Ameri- cans aboard belilgerent merchant- men. This is understood today to be the German position outlined to Ambassador Gerard during a ser- fes of nnofficial conferenc at the Berlin foreign office, following the ambassador's presentation of Amer- iea's note.
