Grave Possibili In New Si President and Advisers Re Latest Developmen Fast to F Long Branch, X. j., Oct. 9.?Secrc-, tary Lansing, it was announced tonight, will come here tomorrow for a conference with President Wilson concerning German submarine raids off the American coast. Mr Lansing is expected to remain overnight at the (president's summer residence. The announcement that -the secretary of state would confer with the president confirmed the impression gained here earlier in the day that the American government considered tlie attacks on vessels off the American coast by German submarines as fraught with grave possibilities. At the same time it was made clear that nothing in the reports so far received show that international law or earlier promises of Germany have been violated. Concern over the situation centered chiefly about the pos- ] sibility of what might happen if the ; submarine attacks are continued. The position of the American gov- j ernment and its determination to' make a full investigation before act- j * i ing were made clear in the following! i statement given out by the presi-1 dent: Stands by Demands. i "This government will, of course, i first inform itself as to all the facts i that there may be no doubt or mis- \ take as far as they are concerned. "The country may rest assured that the German government will be held to the complete fulfillment of its promise to the government of the j United States. I have no right now to question its willingness to fullfll ,< Gum. 0 Sl'l-ini i Count von Bernstorff, the German i ambassador, who came here today to t give the president a personal letter!

It was understood that the C president made it clear that while e the American government had no in- 1; tention of interfering with the legiti- c mate activities of submarines, it s would insist on the strict observance ii of the pledges given previously by tie German government. The ambas- n ?ador, while expressing an entire lack o of official information from his gov- Y ernment on the new submarine at- tl tacks, said that Germany had prom- ti ised to conduct her submarine war- p ?nai 1IWII mnwiMBa?a?amm BOLL WEEYIL TO OVERRUN' .
