Britain Sees MsOlence M
 Geymamy,s Reply To Note

The essential fact is that Americas specific demands are at every point either completely evaded or met by concession so emasculated by the con- dition of which it hangs as to be a flat refusal
 Tho Express characterizes the Ger man reply as "insolent. cynical and diGinSenuous," and declars it is an ultimatum because it means that un- less the United States attempts to force the allies to raise the seize of Germany, Germany will continue to kill haphazard. It is humbug and an insult to American intelligence.
 Germany has not the means of fighting at sea, according to the rules, and therefore claims the right to fight against the rules and asks the United States to aid and abet her. In effect. Germany says to America: You will refuse to sell munitions to the allies and if you will help us to break Great Britafn's power at sea. we will try not to murder any more of your citizens

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Gennanys note has post poned if it actually has not averted, diplomatic break with the United States
 President Wilson will make the decision after he has read the official text which reached the state department late tonight by cable from Ambassador Gerard at Berlin It will be decphered in time to lay it before the president tomorrow morning.
 It was stated authoratively after the cabinet meeting today that if the official text bore the unofficial yer sion transmitted in odays Berlin dispatches, Ger manys assurances undoubtedly would be accepted and before taking another step the United States would await the fulfillment of her latest promises.
 In such case the United States might not reply to the note and would await evidence of the actual abandonment of Gemanys present practices of submarine warfare which is declared. President Wilson is described by those close about him being in position where he can not question the good faith of Germanys assurances which must stand fall by the future conduct of her sub marine commanders.

 TUCSON, May 5-Six delegates to the republican national convention at Chi cago next month will be chosen here tomorrow at the republican state con vention.
 Maricopa county. which has the largest delegation to the state conven- tion here has declared itself in favor of Theodore Roosevelt in choosing Judge Edward Kent of Phoenix as rep resentative from that district to the Chicago convention. As this county has been allowed one delegate in the apportionment of representatives there appeared to be no doubt tonight but that Judge Kent would be one of the six men named tomorrow.
 J. L. Hubbell, of Apache county; F. s. Breen of Coconino county, and Judge Frank Smith of Yavapai county represent one district from which a delegate will be chosen. Other candi- dates are Thomas D. Motley, Yuma county; Charles overlook, Cochise county; r. H. Freudenthal, GreeHlet county; J. c. Gatti, Greenlee county Dr. H. W. Fenner and Judge J. H Campbell of Pima
 All but two of the candidates have expressed a preference for Colone Roosevelt for the presidential candi. date. The other two were non-com- initial.
 The contest for the selection of a national committeeman appeared tC be between Ralph H. Cameron of Mar icopa county and NJ. F. Cassidy of Co., elise county.
 Although an effort was made to have the convention tomorrow take up thu work of endorsing candidates for stat officers, it was believed the activities of the meeting would be confined solel! to the selection of delegates to the ma tiOnal convention.

 The morning news papers. almost without exception print editorials or the note and express more or less sim liar opinions on it.

 The official text is expected to be here before Sunday, the anniversary of the sinking of the Lusitania. It was generally expected that whatever ac- tion is taken by the American gov ernment probably will come on that day.
 The president has already informed congress of his intention to break re- lations with Germany in case her reply is unsatisfactory and therefore it is believed he has decided not to go before congress again before talk ing the action.

HOW THE PRESS
 VIEWS THE NOTE

Tucson Star-The German govern ment has not met with demands made ! by President Wilson and it has there fore deliberately invited the conse- quences which must follow. 1t is re- called that the Lusitania as sunk more than q year ago an no settle ment has been made. It's offer of further negotiations holds out noth- ing of hope or assurance to neutrals. The American note was Americas last word. It only remains 10 pune tuate it.
 Douglas Dispatch-The German note follows about the same lines as pre- vious ones from Berlin being evasive. By making her promises contingent upon the success of Wilson's negotia- ,ions with Great Britain, Germany is wholly lodging the spirit of the de- mands by the president The note only postpones a diplomatic break. Bisbee Review-If the people of the United States can read anything but temporary makeshift of q guarantee in the German reply ours is certainly | gullible public. The fact remains, however. that Germany has again passed the buck.
