j. s. MAY END WAR,
GERMAN DECLARES
Kaiser Ready to Stop Sub
marine War II British Block
ade Is Ended,

THE United states has regained her
golden opportunity. II rests with the
United states to end the European
war"
This statement sums up the official
German attitude. following the dis
patch OF the American note to Ber-
lin. When the German reply reaches
Washington-about next Friday or
according to the calculations
of the German embassy--it will be
revealed, II is declared. why Germany
expects the upshot of the present diff
ticult incident TO be pease, rather than
war.
AT the embassy silence is maintained
concerning the note. but from a Ger
man in closest touch with Germany S
diplomatic affairs. this statement was
obtained today:
IL look for the German note to con-
tain this suggestion: Germany will
abandon the submarine warfare COM
planned of for certain length Of time
say n month or three weeks-providing
the United States takes the same posi-
ton regarding England's unfair starva.
tion policy In that three weeks OF
month the United States would be ex.
pecteG to make the proper representa-.
ions to England and 10 make them IN
l.osipNe fashion.

will be willing to act upon II. The
United States never has admitted the
right of Englsnd's marine policy, and
should now be willing to carry her Oh.
jections to the same point she has car.
riel her objections to the German sub.
marine policy"
According to tkin authority. Germany
offered this solution OF the question two
months ago. To the objection that this
would SAVIOR too much of bargaining. OF
hiring nation to do the right thing, he
answered:
"A II diplomatic negotiations are bar,
gainings."
The proviso must be part Of Cor
many's answer. he declared, because
otherwise. the German people would not
support the government in the answer
THE German people feel that the
United States has not acted with the
energy toward England that she has
shown toward Germany" he said; they
would not accept any governmental
policy that was based on the cxpccta.
tion OF England doing the fair and hon.
orable thing, and they would not nc

HOke Smith Protests
Seizure of Cotton

Senator Hoke Smith called on Sec
retary Eryan today. Senator Smith
has repeatedly urged the Department
Of State to take more vigorous
stand with respect to the policies OF
the English and allied governments
toward cotton shipments. Senator
Smith said today that England hal
agreed to pay contract price for some
of the shipments.
'hTat is not adequate" said Sens-
tor smith "since II sim ignores ths
invasion OF our rights as neutrals."
Eeports have been current that the
United states might ADDRESS another
note to England and the allies on tho
subject of respect for the rights OF
neutral shipping. Secretary Bryan
would not say whether this would b"
done. 1t is understood that Senator
Smith wants such action. senator
Smith. when asked about II. said he
believed VIC should take as nrm 4
stand to requir" respect for our
rights by England as by Germany.

BRYAN'S TIME TABLE.
SPOILED BY CABLES
Elaborate System For Delaying
Publication Of Note Here
Fails in Operation.

Irreverent folk in the National Cap
ital--newspaper correspondents and
such-are snickering over the result
Of Secretary Bryan's minutely calcu-
lated two-cylinder release time table
for publication in the American news
papers OF the American note to Berlin.
Diplomatic etiquette, It seems, was
the source OF much worry ins.the State
Department. 1t would not eve been
etiquette to have the text of the note
published in England before 1t was
handed to the Kaiser's representative
in Berlin by our ambassador.
Berlia time is about six hours aheaI
of New York and Washington time,
Mr.. Bryan figured out that the note
should be delivered at IL o'clock in
Berlin. which would be s o'clock in
New York. And n the American news
papers were permitted to give the note
to the public before s a. m. the wick
ed London correspondents would get
1t and rush it over to their papers IN
time for the morning editions.
/ SO the most solemn warnings were
issued against permitting the note, or
any comment on IT, or any synopsis OF
II, or any intimation as to It's con-
tents. reaching the American public
before 6 o'clock. Such instruction.
were unparalleled.
Then came the crushing blow. 1t de-
veloped that the note did not reach
Rome until yesterday afternoon; that
Ambassador Gerard had not gotten II
last night and that II will be some time
before ii can be de-coded and delivered
Hence the subdued titterings.
A tortuour and circuitous rovte.
through six Offices, is declared by State
Department officials to be responsible
for the delay. After being condensed
into code OF about 700 words here. the
note was telegraphed to New York
there IT was cabled to Havre. and re-
layed by telegraph to Rome. At Rome
1t was copied by Ambassador Page and
sent to Vienna for relaying to Berlin

PETROGRAD. May 15.-The center OF
General MacKensen's army that
threatened Peremysl not only has been
halted at the San. but has been driven

Think Check Is Permanent.
The Russians have fallen back upon
strong strategic positions along the
River San, which runs north and south
through Central Galicia. They now re-
gard the German drive through West
Galicia as having been checked pe'ma-
nently.
The arrival Of fresh Russian troops
which successfully engaged the German
tanks. has relieved pressure upon the
Russian center. These attacks on the
German wings. In which the RUSSIA I

cuted with unusual ferceness.
The activity noted in the last few
days, along the center OF the Polish
front. in the vicinity Of Skierniewice
and Rawa, is said to have been due to
Russian initiative, with the object of
holding the Germans In their positions
and preventing utilization OF these
forces elsewhere.
Retreat Explained.
The retreat of the Russian cente,
from Lupkow Is explained here as due
not to pressure from the Germans, but

Evidence OF this Is seen In the transfer
Of German troops eastward through

LONDON, May 15-The British press generally re-
