note On the lMsitania case. The
contents Of the American answer to
the note viii be closely guarded
until after Il conference with the
German ambassador tomorrow,
though the president took the sub
iect up IN detail with his cabinet to-
day.

Material concessions, the report
says. may be promised by the am

reaching here the military element
dictated the reply If this is per
mitted to stand by Germany a break
in diplomatic relations is certain.
The president and his advisers
conferred for Two hours and twenty
minutes, presumably taking up most
OF the tine in discussing the Ger
man note and the United States re-
plv. II was learned on good au-
thOri,y that in all essentials in
yolving American integrity the next
note will be practically duplicate
Of the first 1t is stated as almost
certain that the United States will
not retract. and indeed it is declar-
ed the president will stand pat on
his previous statement and de

lief, it Is reported, is that Germany

The first movement in radiator reform

This Is what up to date decorators AFRO

mantel shelves right over them. The
mantel shelves are mere shells, and de-

standard sises the mantels can be traas-
ferred along with the rest OF the furni-
ture on moving day and set up In the new
place.
The firm that started this scheme began
by making the covers to order, but the
demand was SO great that Il was soon
