File No. 763.72/2680
The Ambassador in Germany ( Gerard ) to the Secretary of State
[Received May 11, 2 p. m.]
3873. Presented note in your 29831 to Von Jagow, 1 [o’clock] to-day. Had a general talk with him but learned nothing particular. From general information think Germany will not answer this note. Von Jagow said German note had not made any express condition. It is possible Bernstorff may be authorized to declare against propaganda in America, plots, etc. Talk here of Sweden coming in. No foundation apparent except that large Swedish military commission is here and made much of.
