Don't take your money out of the bank and bury it. Skunks or squirrels or dog will dig up and destroy it. Don't put 1t in your stockings because you can put your stockings to better use by wearing them. Don't wrap it up in an old newspaper or an old rag and hide 1t some corner. be- cause the rats will surely get hold of it and destroy it. The house is no place for yonr money anyway Burglars get It and carry 1t off and then you lament your fooIishness in taking it out of the bank. If you want to invest your money let it stay in the bank if it Is there All this drawing money out of the bank and hoardinR it contracts the currency and produces a string ency it the money market.

Hollweg Outlines Ger
many's Stand to Lead
ers and Officials.

London, May 5.-Dr. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, the German Imperial Chan
cellor, together with Vice-C Chancellor
Delbrusok, Foreign Minister Won Jsgow,
DR.. Karl Helferich, Secretary of the
Imperial Treasury; Admiral Cappelle,
other ministers, members OF the
Bundesrsth and about one hundred
members Of the Reichstag attended to-
days sitting % the Budget Committee
of the Reicnstag, according TO a dis
patch from Berlin. forwarded by Reu-
ter's Amsterdam correspondent,
The Chancellor read the German re-
ply 10 the American note, says the dis
patch. and explained German-American
relations. A short discussion followed.
The proceedings were strictly contiden-
tisl.
The German answer to the American
note has not yet been published. and
the Berlin newspapers generally refrain
from any attempt TO anticipate its con-
tents or 20 forecast its consequences.
The "Lokal Anzeiger," however, prints
the following significant comment:
Judging by wha. we have been able
TO learn concerning the spirit of the
German answer 10 America. We cherish
the expectation that the sense of JUS
tce of the American people which was
emphasized il the American note will
come into its own.
THE concession made by Germany in
this connection is naturally as the dig
nifty OF the empire demands, solely
born out of the consciousness Of Ger
man strength. German successes and
the justice Of our cause. The German
standpoint can less be subjected TO just
criticism because Of the fact that, to
the best Of our knowledge. II rests upon
the basis OF written international law
and humanity repeatedly emphasized
by America"
The "Vossische Zeitung" says: "Our
Investigations. made after the note was
delivered, show that political circles
cherish the hope that a conflict with
America will be avoided"

Washington, May 5.-Congress, the
sole war-making power of the govern
ment. is overwhelmingly opposed TO go
ing to war with Germany on the record
Of the submarine controversy in tho
last fifteen months.
Congress believes that severance
Of diplomatic relations with Germany
would not be justified by the cireum-
stances Of the dispute, it being general
" realized that a diplomatic break
would lead 20 war eventually.
Doubt is expressed here on every side
that the President, in view of tho atti-
tude in Congress, will press the dispute
with Germany to the point of rupture.
The sentiment in Congress was dis
closed to-day by poll Of the opinions
OF tho Senators and representatives.
To each legislator was put the follow
ing question:
"Do you believe that up TO this time
Germany has given the United States
sufficient provocation to go to war;

Berlin Note Recites NezD Order to UB0Qt Commanders

The threat to resume lawless methods
II this country failed 90 force Britain
TO abandon the blockade officials admit
that Their would be no hope of doing
more than postponing a rupture for a
short time.
President Wilson ia already on rec
ord against any such combining of dis
putes. His position was fully stated IN
the note Of July II last, which said:
THE imperial German government
will readily understand that the gov
eminent Of the United States cannot
discuss the policy Of the government Of
Great Britain. except with that govern
ment itself. and that il must regard the
conduct Of other belligerent govern
ments as irrelevant 20 any discussion
with the imperial German government
of what this government regards as
grave and unjusthable violations OF
the rights of American citizens by Ger
man naval commanders"
The report here tonight from Ger
man sources that Ambassador Won
Bernstorf would go 90 the State De
partment early next week TO press the
German demands for action against
Great Britain did not help make the
threat in the German note pGlatable.

SAILINGs NOT HIT BY NOTE
Steamship Lines Say Change of Dates
Waa Not nua 70 Criofo

Steamship Lines Say Change of Dates
Was Not Due to Crisis.
The postponement Of sailings on the
French and Holland America lines, an
nounced Thursday. was not due TO the
diplomatic crisis between this country
and Germany, 1t was said yesterday at
the Offices of the companies.
Maurice Kozminski, of the French
Line, explained that the sailing date
OF the Chicago from Bordeaux was
shifted from May to May 20 because
she was delayed three days in leaving
New York on her last trip. The La
fayette will leave Bordeaux on May -.
At the Holland America Line Offices
II was said that the Nieuw Amsterdam
would sail to-day from Rotterdam, as
announced. The Ryndam, which will
sail from here Monday, an official add
ed, will not stop at Falmouth, because
the Noordam. leaving New York May
II, will take care of all the business at
that port.

Dutch Believe 1t Aims to
Bring About Mediation
Through America.
BERLIN THINKS KAISER
AIMED AT THIS END
Talks with Gerard Believed of
Wide Range-Reply Men,
tons Subject.

IBy Cable 20 Tho Tribune
Rotterdam. May dispatch TO Lon
don DAILY News") Considerable i'm
portance is attached here to the curious
tone of Germany's reply to the Ameri-
can note. 10 is believed that behind the
whole cloud Of vague and conditional
promises there is a certain anxiety that
negotiations should be opened at once
with England through the mediation Of
the United States for the return TO the
conditions as regards co.traband that
existed before December, 1914. This inn
mediate object, If these suppositions
are correct, is to be the pretcxt for
opening discussions OF far wider nat
ure, embracing even peace conditions.
To-day / interviewed an American
who has just left Berlin, and gathered
that the belief exists there that Am
bassador Gerard's visit to headquar-
ters, while ostensibly in connection
with the German reply, led to dis
cussions far wider in range, even sug-
costing the possibility of America act
ing as intermediary in any peace pro-
posal.
Washington, May 5.-The first for
NAL statement that Germany is ready
to discuss peace terms was contained
in the reply to the American note,
and said:
"The German government, conscious
of Germany's strength, twice within
the last few months announced before
the world its readiness to make peace
on a basis safeguarding Germany's
vital interests, thus indicating that it
is not Germany's fault il peace is still
withheld from the nations Of Europe"

There is one more thing-the note
makes it plain that Germany is now
our enemy. Whether relations are
broken or not. she shows resentment
which will last. If she is now beaten

from satisfactory to the Administra-
ton, officials admit They see calcu-
lated insult in its tone. resent its air

given Germany more time. the thing
she has been playing for, through -FOUR
teen months. A break on this note ~
admitted TO be almost impossible and
during the delay Germany can prepare
public opinion az home for further con
cessions or prepare to resume her
earlier policy with the greatest posi-
bic effect. In short, Germany has tied
the hands Of the Wilson administration
and has contrived TO make good show
ing Of placing the blame for any future
break on Wilson.
Importance in Last Two Paragraphs.
In considering the note for its bear
ing on the questions at issue dlplo-
mats Immediately sweep aside by FAR
the largest portion of 1t as beng
rhetoric. intended either for home con
sumption. or for the embarrassment
Of the President here. The really I'M
portant parts Of the note they find IN
the last few paragraphs, IN the an
nounccment Of the orders TO the sub
marines and the conditions with which
10 is hedged.
A new question Of good faith has
also been raised by the note. which,
though Il will not lead 20 a rejection OF
the note, may cause demand for more
information. The American note dc
handed an abandonment of the pres
ent methods" Of submarine warfare.
The German note. in reply, cites me
orders given submarine commanders
but does not show in what way these
orders differ from those previously
given.
While Il IS admitted that the orders
now submitted seem to come within
the demands Of this government. It Is
pointed out that the real question Of
The abandonment Of the previous moth
DDS depends on the difference between
these and the previous orders, and II
is intimated Tat Germany may be
asked to lay before this government
copies of all general orders issued TO
her submarine officers.
a serious flaw is also seen in the
new orders given the submarine OF
fcers, in that they apply only TO "mer-
chant vessels recognized by interna-
tional law" Germany has raised with
this country the question of the status
Of German ships armed for defence,
her contention being that any armed
