PROPOSALS ACCEPTABLE
GERMANY WANTS SOME MODFI.
CATIONS IN NOTE.
American Note Subject Of Exhaustive
Discussion-In Many Respects is
Acceptable.

A dispatch from Berlin Friday
says the American note to Germany
and Great Britain on the subject of
foodstuffs to civilian population of
belligerents and submarine activities
at sea has been a subject Of exhaus-
tive discussion for the past two days
between German authorities and
American Ambassador Gerard.
AS result the German reply is
gradually taking definite form. The
correspondent Of The Associated
Press has been assured by a compe-
tent and reliable authority that the
American proposals are regarded as
constituting a satisfactory basis for
future negotiations, and that they
are in many respects acceptable. Ger
tain of the proposals, however, will
be subjected to more or less impor-
tant notifications.
Government circles have expressed
themselves as impressed by the
friendly spirit in which these pro-
posals have been advanced and the
evident desire on the part of the
American administration to reach a
solution of the difficulties involved in
the present methods of maritime war
fare, to belligerents and neutrals
alike.
The American note probably will
not be published until the German
response has been sent forward.
It is difficult to obtain any authori-
tative expression of opinion concern
ing the German viewpoint Of the sit
uation from any government official
or to overcome the censorship re-
strictions in treating of the matter
in news dispatches sent out from Ber-
lin. Judging, however, from a gem
eral knowledge of German policy and
it may be said with con-
fdence that little difficulty will be
so far as Germany is
concerned, in reaching mutual
agreement for discontinuance Of
floating mines. The attitude Of the
German admiralty on mine planting
along hostile coasts, however, is at
the present time unknown.

BIG FAIR OPENS.
Panama-Pacific Exposition Breaks All
Attendance Records.

The Panama-Pacifc international
exposition was formally opened at
noon Saturday, Pacific coast time.
The dedication was made as snort
and simple as possible.
United States soldiers and marines
escorted Secretary Lane, Gov. John
son and the other officials to stand
facing the main entrance to the ex-
position, where they were welcomed
by President Charles c. Moore and
the other executive officers.
Secretary Lane, President Wilson's
personal representative, delivered a
brief address, during which he read
this telegram from the president:
please convey my heartiest congrat-
ulations to the authorities of the ex-
position and express my hope that
their highest expectations for its dis
tinguished success will be more than
realized"
President Wilson, in the White
House, touched a telegraph key com
pleting an electric circuit which
swung open the doors of the Palace
of Machinery, unloosed the waters OF
the Fountain of Energy and detonat-
ed signal bombs.
"To-day is the triumph" said Gov.
Johnson, speaking for California, "of
a San Francisco that nine years ago
lay in ruins"
All records for exposition first day
attendance were broken at the open
ing day. By o'clock the turnstiles
had clicked off 225.000 admissions
and it was expected that by midnight
the total would have reached more
than 100000. The previous record
was at the opening day Of the St.
Louis Worlds fair, 176.453, in 1904.
The crowd was a spectacle in itself.
It filled the grandstands, it packed
the great courts and concouses, it
poured through the aisles, it over
flowed from the sidewalks into the
avenues, from the hills to the bayas
far as the eye could reach, in un-
ending rivers of bobbing heads.

TOOK ALL CASH IN SIGHT.
Robbers Capture Automobile and
Make Escape.

Robbers Tuesday morning held up
Cashier Wallace, of the Bank OF
Stuart, Fla, and took all cash in
sight, which was about $4,000. Es-
caping from the bank, the robbers
overhauled a passing automobile and
commanded the driver, Frank Coyen-

At Port Sewell they ordered halt,
but in leaving the machine one OF the

This did not, however, prevent the
escape of the robbers. Coventry was
ordered to return to Stuart, where he
reported to the authorities where he
had left the robbers. Posses are now
securing the country for them.

NAY AGREE.
Japan Said to Have Modified Its De-

The outlook for an adjustment Of

conferences between representatives
of the two nations apparently are
progressing toward compromise.
The most important step yet taken
in this direction was disclosed at

definite, that it will not insist for the
present upon the group of general
demands which it presented.
