effect Of participation by the United
States might have on the rest of the
neutral world. Furthermore. Berlin
has already shown that II ia not
wholly insensitive to the opinion of
thu civilized world II is believed
here now that Germany not only does
not wish to have break with the
United States, but will attempt to
place the responsibility for rup-
lure, II there is one, on this govern
meat.
VIII Not Fully Meet Views.
There Is positive indication, how
ever, that Germany will by no means
fully meet the wishes of the United
States. What Is now regarded as the
strongest possibility is that the Ger
man Government will draft a note
which will surpass all its previous eff
forts in ingenious argument, plausible
statements and appeal to popular
opinion in the United States.
The chief proposal expected from
Germany Is a renewal of their sug-
gestion that the United States bring
about an abandonment of the Ger
man submarine program by inducing
Great Britain to give up her attempt
to keep food out of Germany, This
has been the German position for two
months and there is reason to believe
that Berlin viii regard President Will
sons note as splendid opportunity
to advertise their position.

LONDON PAPERS GET NOTE
BEFORE DELIVERY IN BERLIN

Washington May i4.-Ambassador
Page at Rome reported to the state
Department tonight that the Presi-
dents note to Germany, sent yesterday,
did not reach Rome until 2 F. NJ. today.
He said In his dispatch that the note
was Immediately copied and forwarded
to Berlin this afternoon.
From this report 1t is feared that
Ambassador Gerard did not receive the
note In time to present II at the For
eign Office today. Thus the objective
of the United States unusual precau-
lions, taken with regard. to preventing
the note from appearing in this coun-
try before o'clock this morning, has
apparently not been attained. and In all
probability the London papers will
have had the note twenty-four hours
before 1t could be communicated to the
German press. This is precisely what
the State Department sought to avoid.
The State Department usually sends
it's communications for Berlin by way
of Italy, and delays are frequent over
this route

pounds inside of year If fed on the
magic bluegrass of Washington Coun-

it's 9S.000-acre ranch.

Many prominent persons known to

The resignation of Premier Salan-

1t Is believed that only two solutions

tration circles hold that King Victor
Emmanuel must either decline to ac-
cept the resignation of the Cabinet
and further postpone the opening OF
Parliament or call upon Signor Clio

solute neutrality on the part OF Italy.
Signor Giolitti Is undoubtedly the
most unpopular man In italy today,
and for this reason 1t 10 expected that
he will decline such an offer- Hence
1t is believed that italy may follow
the example OF France at the opening
OF the war and entrust to coalition
cabinet the destinies OF the nation In
the present crisis.

Giolittfs friends assert that he has
an absolute majority In the Chamber
Of Deputies and an overwhelming
force with him in the Senate. It IL.
however. admitted that after the Bit
ter recriminations between the neu-
tralists and the pro-war party during
