Whether the banquet accorded to Mr. Gerard, the

stated that never since the beginning of the war have the relationsflietwcen the United States and Germany been so‘éordial as now.” This statement is resented in the United States by those who have not forgotten the “strict accountability" note of the President and who have been perturbed more than once since by the fear that this strict accountability would be exacted. The /\‘mbassador's oliveibralnch Was hailed with delight in Germany as smoothing over the Somewhat belliger- ent tone of recent United States notes. United States officials are very reticent over_ the matter, confining themselves to the simple statement that thc 'govern- ment wants fto krro_w etéactly what the Ambassador said. The action of the governmentis interpreted as evidence of the importance attached to the possible effect of such an uttiéranceupon public opinion in the Allied countries where published reports have shown an impression that the President's note was in some way connected with the Central Powers’ peace propo- sal and everyefforl is being made to dispel this be- lief. .

The enquiry into the Ambassador’s somewhat un-

timely statement, shows that the relations between Washington and the Central Ppwers, especially on the Washington side, are not just as cordial as they might be. It is felt in the United States that some new out- break of submarine activity or other deviltry on the part of Germany might suddenly mature that over due note on “strict accountability.” It would be awkward to demand immediate 'payment in the midst of the most
