has been bringing heavy pressure to bear.
 Admiral Von Truppel in his article in Der Tag writes:
 "A German American war or even a rupture of diplomatic relations, the ef- feet of which would virtually be as great, would injure German prospects more se- riously than many believe Although America at first would be able to con tribute little to the military strength of the entente allies except by an accelera- ton of the munitions supply, it could In time cooperate with considerable land and sea forces and with first class submarines and aeroplanes in the .com- plete isolation of Germany. It could ex- ercse such pressure upon the few re- mainng neutral countries that they probably would be arrayed actively or passively in the ranks of our enemies. ''
 Would Insure Prospects
 Admiral Von Truppel discounts the stories of earlier existing American agreements with Great Britain against Germany, explaining that this is most improba ble, owing to American diplo- matic traditions. But it is undeniable. '' he says. in spite of President Wilson s unquestionable desire to reach peaceful solution of the problems. that the sym pathies of a majority of Americans are on the side of England and that only a spark might bs necessary under certain

WON TRUPPEL WARNS GERMANY BREAK
 WITH U. s. NOW WOULD BE DISASTROUS

Berlin, July 5.-(Via London, 3'30 p. m.)-AdmiraI OscOr won rruppel, at one time governor of kin Chau, warns his compatriOts in an article in Der Tage not to underestimate the danger of . breach with the United States. He asks careful consideration whether the value of Germany's submarine warfare is great enough to justify it's cOntin- uance at the expense of such a rup- i. ture.
 The article is regarded as remarkable not only for it's open statement regarding the far-reaching effect participation of America in the hostilties might exercise, but also as contribution from naval officer. All German naval publicists hitherto heard from have devoted their energies 1, to accelerating public opinion against any modification of the subma- rine campaign. The campaign between the advocates and the opponents of a compromise still is intense and delivery of the note probably will be delayed several days It is to be hoped by those who flavor a compromise that additional onsideration will produce change in she attitude of the navsl party which

condition to kindle this feeling into a hostile outbreak"
 The kernel of the problem from Ger man standpoint, concludes Admiral Won Truppel, is contained in this question::
 Can we hope so far as we are able to foresee to force England to it's knees through submarine warfare against her commerce.
 If the answer Is in the negative our submarines can find better employment against hostile warshps. particularly in the hunting grounds of the Mediterranean the Dardaneles and the Suez canal Sub- marine warfare against merchantmen in that case could be modified or abandoned to obtain more favorable neutrality from and the friendship of America, which would be of great value to Germany after the war.
 '.If the answer is in the affirmative then the law of ef-preservation would justify us in the situation which England has forced upon us in using to the fullest extent our superiority in submarines, and we can calmly accept all the consequences of it."
 The Kreuz Zeitung in its weekly review says that limita tions upon submarine op- era tions would cause widespread and deer agitation among the German people. It is proba ble. however. the newspaper adds, that in the forthcoming note to America a form will be found which will offer a prospect of settling the question 90 far as passengers arc concerned

Washington, July 5.-Germany's re- ply to the last American note concern ing submarine warfare probably will not he received for another week. Am department have set no specific date but he has predicted that n week would he required to finish the communica- ton.
 MT. Gerard has been unable to learn definitely just what the German reply will outline He knows, however. that Ger many will make counter proposal, and that it's nature is being discussed now by various elements in the German govern ment. Apparent delay in completion of the document, officials regard as hope full sign, believing each additional delay is likely to bring the two countries closer to an understanding.
 Such advices as Ambassador Gerard has sent portray a favorable atmosphere in Berlin, from which he infers that the re- ply will be friendly and perhaps satisfac- tory
 Would Avoid Attack
 In a general way it is known officially that Germany wants to avoid further at tacks on passenger vessels of any na- tionality but it's difficulty is to frame a proposal so as to prevent the allies from continuing to ship large quantities of am intuition and contraband on these ships One suggestion discussed in Berlin of ficial quarters contemplated that pAssen- ger vessels clearing from American ports be immune from attack, placing the bur den on the United States to interpret just what it meant by "a vessel primarily en- gagged in passenger traffic."
 While the United States claims the right to have it's citizens travel on all ships whether they carry contraband or not Germany hopes. 1t is understood, to inn pose moral obligation whereby Ameri- cans would be persuaded not to take pas sage on vessels devoted chiefly to con traband traffic. The suggestion in press dispatches of joint British-American or German American inspection of passenger vessels is regarded in some quarters as likely to furnish basis for a partial understanding.

REPLY TO AMERICAN NOTE WILL EMBODY TERMS OF AGREEMENT
Gerard and German Under Secretary Are Conferring on Problem and An Ami cable Adjustment Seems Highly Probable

Washington, July 5.-Indications in official quarters tonight were that difficulties between the United States and Germany over submarine warfare may be solved in informal diplomatic discussions prior to the final drafting of the Germany reply.
 The seriousness of the issue between the United States and Germany has so impressed officials in Berlin that they are undertaking to learn through Am- bassador Gerard informally exactly what notifications of the submarine campaign will satisfy the American de- mand for the protection of its rights, without reducing the effectiveness of the submarine as a weapon against Gcrmanys emergencies.
 Ambassador Gerard has had several conferences with high German officials in which various suggestions have been made. The conference to which Der lin press dispatches referred as hay ing taken place last Saturday had not been reported by Ambassador Gerard tonight His last dispatches intimated that the German reply would be de- layed for several days, possibly q week.

 Holt made these declarations to Guy Cleghorn, jail physician, adding that he was anxious to tell his story in court
 Dr. Cleghorn said. however, that Holt was in such a weakened condition that unless he showed decided improvement by Wednesday he might report it nadvsahle to remove him from the jail at Mineoa to the courthouse here.
 MT. Morgan, who was shot twice by Holt last Saturday at the fnanciers home near here, continued to improve today, so much so that specialists in attendance an- nouneed he was out of all danger

 Hoping for Peace
 Government officials are hoping that the efforts of the United States to prevent counter revolutionary movements in Mex leo will tend to bring the Carranza and Villa factiens together in preliminary peace conferences. General Cairanza hith- erto has been steadiastls opposed to any conferences with Villa OF his representa- lives. but the arrival in Vera Cruz nf Charles A.

Douglas knows that the await the outcome of Carranzas ar- nounced programme of attempting 70 dominate his enemies by force. since slch process, 1t is held. might prolong in- definitely the fighting and offer no assdr- ance of early peace. Moreover. he knows the United States will refuse to recognize any government that is not the result of a coalition of branches of the constisni- tionalist party.
 Washington officials will await the ut- come of MT Douglas mission before un- dertakins the next step in the situate n. in the meantime the Villa leaders make no secret of their hope that If Carran4i continues to refuse to enter into pcace negotiations, moral support will be gwen the Nilla-Zapata element in the future. % that it can of it's own initiative create q provisional government composed of Car ranza generals and leaders irrespective of their first chief.
