ROUMANIANS INTRENCH HOLO BUCHARE
CRISIS NOW LOOMS
IN MARINA CASE
MANY CONFERENCES
International News Service.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—President
Wilson and Secretary Danstng had
another conference about the Marina
case yesterday afternoon but no an
nouncements were made. There is an
acute crisis of some sort relating to
the Marina but the administration
has not yet taken the public into its
confidence in the matter.
The postponement of Gerard's de
parture was due partly to a h!t;h
in the negotiations. For three suc
cessive days past Ambassador Bcrn
storff has visited the state depart
ment and discussed the case. Care
fully guarded wireless messages hav*
been received via Sayville and ther!
is plainly a strained sitautlon.
On November 30th Bernstorff re
iterated informally his statement n1
three days previous that Germany
acknowledged her failure to keep hei
pledge so far as the Marina was con
cerned and offering to make all pos
sible reparation.
The contention of the government
is now as it has been that German)
had failed to ascertain whether the
Marina was acting as an English
transport. It is not yet conceded that
the blame can be shiftedf to the shoul
ders of the captain of the subma
rine.
