BERLIN ACCEPTS
 DEMAND OF U. s.
AMBASSADOR VoN BERNsToREF SAYS NO MORE LINERS TO BE
 SUNK WITHOUT WARNING

Washington = Strained relations between the United States and Ger many over submarine warfare appaT- ently ended after Count von Bern storff, the German ambassador, fri- | formed Secretary Lansing in writing that before the sinking of the Arabic | his government had decided that It's 1 submarines should sink no more ifneys without warning
 Oral assurances to this effect were l given by the ambassador last week l But 1t was not until Count von B+srn- | storff, after a call at the State De 1 partment, returned to the embassy and sent a letter to MT. Lansing quot 1 ing instructions from Berlin concerr- ing an aswer to the last American note on the sinking of the Lusitanfa. that officials admitted their gratifiea~ l tion over Germany's change of heart
 Count von Bernstorffs letter fo5- 1 lows:
 My Dear MT. Secretary-With rtf- 1 erence to our conversation, I beg to inform you that my instructions CON- corning our answer to your last Lusi | tania note contains the following pas sage:
 "Liners will not be sunk by our submarines without warning and with out safety of the lives of ncncombot- ants, provided that the liners do not try to escape or offer resistance
 Although I know you do not wish 1 to discuss the Lustania question un- til the Arabic incident has been det- nitely and satisfactorily settled, de- l sire to inform you of the above be- cause this policy of my government was decided on before the Arabic fB- cident occurred.
 '1 have no objection to your nak- ing any use you may wish of the 1 above information.
 q remain, my dear MT. Lansing
 Yours very sincerely,
 "J von Bernstorff."
 Secretary Lansing interpreted ~iis- CT" as used in the letter to mean aN peaceful merchant ships. Later iB conversation the German ambassador explained that regular passenger yes sels were meant There seemed to be- no disposition, however, to question. the intention of the Berlin government to grant the fundamental demands of 1 the United States.

LAUNCH ANOTHER
 PEACE MOVEMENT
CARDINAL GIBBONS, DEAN OF COLLEGE OF CARDINALS CON-
 FERS WITH WILSON.
WILLIAM G. M'ADOC

Washington. - Cardinal Gibbons. dean of the College of Cardinals, pre- sented to President Wilson confi- dential communication from Pope Benedict, inviting and urging this government to cooperate with the Vatican and neutral nations to bring about peace in Europe.
 conference on the same subject was held later at the State Depart ment between Cardinal Gibbons and Secretary of State Lansing
 After his visits and confidential talk to and with the president, Cardinal Gibbons said:
 'I think the prospects for peace are frightening"
 This statement, expressing the judg- ment of a representative of the pope. after conferring with President Will son, is regarded here as indicating that definite results so far as future action by this government and the Vatican are concerned are already being achieved.
 AdtdtIdI GlUUOHS, li0 secretary OI state and the president declined to reveal the details of the pope's sug- gestion. It was stated at the White House, in fact, that the president would not discuss the subject at all
 Cardinal Gibbons said:
 "I only can tell you that I conveyed to the president message from the holy father, and that the message re. lated to the subject of peace. The message cannot be made public yet; if I receive authority. I shall be glad to make 1t public. The authority must come from Rome and we will have to confer about that.
 T regard the settlement of the con- troversy between the United States and Germany as affording an excep- tional opportunity for peace proposals and as having placed the United States in a most advantageous posi- ton to act in this direction
 My interview with the president was most gratifying It would, of course, be improper for me to speak in detail regarding the conference with the president, but I may say the conference was of very genial and happy character. In a general way Mexico was also discussed"

CARRANZA ISSUES NEUTRALITY ORDERS
MAJ. w. H. HAY, GEN. FUNSTON'S CHIEF OF STAFF TAKES TRIP
 ALONG THE BORDER.
TROOPS ARE ORDERED BACK
General Natarrat Says He Wished to Cooperate With the Ameri- can Military Au-
 thorities.

Townsville. First Chief Venusti- ano CarranZa took hand in the Texas border imbroglio, according to state- ment by Gen. E. P. Nafarrate com manding the CarranZa troops opposite the Brownsville section At the same time Maj. w. H. Hay, chief of staff for Maj-Gen. Frederick Funston. took g trip along the border above here. r. was believed his trip contemplated an important disposition of a small army of American troops, either now here or en route, to enable them better to control the skirmishing across the in- ternational line. For the first time ID several days, none of this intermittent fighting was reported by army patrols or Texas rangers. Gen. Nafarrate said that Gen. Carranza wired him to enforce strict neutrality at this bor- der. Nafarrate said he replied that to eo this he must have more troops He Is awaiting Gen. Carranza's answer
 Nafarrate, saying that he wished to cooperate with the American military authorities, gave the following outline of border fighting. as reported from his side of the line:
 We have received orders from First Chief Carranza to strictly ob- serve neutrality and not to help in any way tho Texas revolutionists. Un- friendly reports have said several times that our men have crossed to the Texas side to fight That is wrong. because our review list the first ar this month shows no man is missing. We have given order to our officers not once but three times, not to fire cn American troops, even if they fire on us. Two days ago we received a telegram that at Cavazos crossing Texas rangers and Sheriff Bakers men came to the American side of the river and fired on our troops, killing two ci. williams and wounding one Carranza of- fcer- This officer did not order his men to return the fire, but instead to retire Immediately from the river bank. He had orders not to shoot, and he did not shoot"
