MERCHANT MARINE IS

Uncle Sam Has More Orders
Than He Can Fil---Need
Of Ships Urgent

Washington, May 2.-"Uncle Sam,
manufacturer, is trying to take care of
more orders than he is physically
equipped to fill"
Except for the foregoing condition,
commerce foreign and domestic, is the
best it has been for years. Secretary
of Commerce Redfield today said in an
interview with the United Press. Time
and an adequate merchant marine are
the only remedies necessary to make
commerce of the United States ascend
to dizzy heights in bulk and value of
shipping.
That the European war proved big
incentive to foreign commerce Of the
United States is shown in statistics
given by the secretary At the same
time the relative Importance of ship
ments of strictly war articles has been
generally exaggerated, he said,
IA great many persons believe the
munitions shipments form the bulk of
our foreign trade,7 Redfield said.
s'While it is true that our trade in
arms, supplies and articles used by
armies Of the belhgerent powers is
very great, yet the proportion which
such exports bear to all exports is not

Berlin, May 2.-The German reply
to the American submarine demands
was completed today. A few alterations
were made in its text, but there were
no changes in its character, which was
decided upon several days ago. 1t is
thought that the message will be cabled
to Washington tonight or tomorrow.
The American embassy received from
Washington yesterday a message ex.

the United States on several points of

This message was telegraphed to Am.

with the kaiser.
The American embassy was informed
that Gerard would arrive here this aft
ernOOn. He will cauie Washington a
long report on his conference with the
emperor Immediately upon his arrival
Whether this will contain a private mes

kaiser is not known.
Officials prefer that the newspaper

however, that nothing has occurred ma.

the emperor's field headquarters, the
dispatch expected from tine American
envoy yesterday was not looked for un-

In the meantime, there is no official

The fact that the conference between
Gerard and the kaiser was more pro-
louged than at first planned was taken
taken as hopeful indication.
United Press dispatches from Berlin
today renewed the optimism which was
also felt in administration circles. The
general belief was that Germany would
yield and promise to cease its "presnnt
methods of submarine warfare. " Int
