Von Bernstorff and Secretary of State to Discuss German Submarine Warfare Today.

Washington, July 16.—Considerable Importance is attached to a conference which is to take place today between Secretary Lansing and Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador.

There have been intimations that this government was particularly dissatisfied over the failure-of Germany in her latest response to the American representations concerning the submarine warfare to disavow responsibility of intention to have caused the deaths of any American passengers of the Lusitania, and that Count von Bernstorff, in giving oral assurances that his government was anxious to correct this important omission, might take advantage of the opportunity to furnish other assurances that would modify the generally unsatisfactory character of the German communication.

The interview to take place between the secretary of state and the German ambassador today is therefore regarded as likely to have a marked bearing on the future relations of Germany and the United States.
