BERNSTORFF.

WILL HE BE SENT HOME?

Now York, April 14

The papers deride the German Note. The New York World calls it "Germany's Confession," and adds: "We must sever relations with a Power which has obliterated the basis whereupon diplomatic relations are conduotable."

Washington views the situation with gravity, and President Wilson has cancelled all his engagements.

The Government authorities consider that Germany's admissions strengthen the American case. They are awaiting affidavits from London, Paris, and Copenhagen.

There has been, a general decline iv stocks on account of a rumour thatCoiipf llernsforlf. the Gorman Ambassador, will receive, his passports within a fortnight.

Tho latest report says if is expected that President Wilson will not send another Note fo Germany, but will merely instruct Mr Lansing, the Secretary of State, to inform Count Bernstorff verbally that Berlin's explanation i.s not acceptable, and that a rupture is inevitable unless the illegal .submarine methods of Germany cease.
