to press despatches saying that the German chancellor would have the German public behind him in the eff forts to avoid a breach of relations with the United States, ''so far as can be done without sacrificing the prin ciple enunciated in the German mani festo of February. g."
 This manifesto of February an- nounced to the world Germany's in tention of treating as warships armed merchant ships of hostile nations. It was clearly indicated that in the future Germany intended to sink without warning beIligerent merchant ships carrying armament. on the ground that they were armed for pCr- poses of offense and that commanders of British merchantmen had inStruc- tions to attack German submarines.
 The position of the United States is that merchant ships have a right to arm themselves for defensive pur- poses, and that as long as that arma- ment was carried and used for de- fense the vessels should receive the same treatment as other peaceful trading ships This position was. re- stated and elaborated upon in a mem orandum on the subject prepared by Secretary Lansing at the direction of President Wilson and only a few days after the despatch of the note to Ger rope, neutral as well as beHigerent.
 Some officials tonight found a hope full indication in 0 press despatch which stated that considerable pertur- bation was apparent in Berlin over the effect which concessions to be made might have on German public opinion.

BILL FOR RURAL CREDITS
 PASSED IN THE SENATE.
5randegee One of the Five RepubIi-
 cans to Vote in the Negative.

Washington, May 4 The Hollis farm loan bill. embodying the admins tration plan for establishing a sys- tenn of rural credits, passed the sen ate tonight by vote of 5S to g.
 Senators Brandegee, Lodge, Oliver, Page and Wadsworth. all republicans, voted against the measure
 The bill. after almost two weeks of debate, passed the senate virtually as reported by the banking committee ducing the salaries of tfass farm loan board from $100,0 900 to S7,500 which was adopted by vote of 26 to 25 in the committee of the whole was re- considered when the bill reached the senate and was defeated, 29 to 31, all though eight democratic senators voted with the republicans for the re- duction.
 A somewhat similar bill has been reported by the house banking com | mittee and, it is said, will be brought 1lp for consideration in the house soon. Like the senate measure, it would cre- 1 ate a chain of farm loan banks. but | it differs in means of operation. 1 The senate bill provides for a non 1 partisan farm loan board to consist of i the secretary of the treasury and four l others having general control of a l farm loan system of twelve or more | land banks and of farm loan associa-
 tions through which actually would l be made.
 Each land bank would have a cap- ital stock of at least s500,0O0 to be subscribed by the government if not taken by the public. The farm IoaE ascosciation would be cooperative
 made up of ten or more farmers who woul dobtain acharter from their ais. trict land bank. A farmer desiring tC
 become borrower would be required
 to take stock in the loan association equal to per cent. of his loan; tht
 association in turn would take ar equal amount of stock in the IanC
 bank, which would appraise the SC curity offered and make the loal
 through the association. On mort gages amountin~ to $50,000 a banI
 might issue a like amount of farm
 loan bonds, which would be secured
 by all twelve land banks.
 } All profits would go to the loan as
 sociation in dividends and thus to tn ; borrowers who are shareholders il | them.

LoRIMER TO WORK TO
 REIMBURSE DE9osIToRs
Who Lost by the Failure of the La
 SaIle Street Bank, Chicago,

Chicago, May 4.-William Lorimer, former United States senator. who last night was acquitted of charges of em bezzlement and conspiracy to defraud in connection with the failure of the La Sale Street Trust and Savings bank while he was president of the in stitution, said he would start out today to accumulate money with which to reimburse depositors who lost by the failure.
 The case had been on trial for 79 days in the superior court of Cook county and was given to the jury last night. After more than six hours celiberation, the jury rendered it's yer dict shortly after midnight.

COMMONS PASSES SECOND READING OF COMPULSORY BILL Debate Developed No Important New
 Points.

London, May 4. 11.16 p. m.-The house of commons tonight passed the second reading of the military service bill for immediate general military compulsion. A motion by Richard D. Hold, radical, to reject the bill, was previously defeated, BPS to 36.
 The debate of the bill developed no important new points. David Lloyd George, the minister of munitions. presented strong arguments in it's fla vor, and declared that he would rath-
 CT be wriven out of the liberal party, and even out of political life than have upon his conscience the responsibfl- ity of refusing the demands for men which might constitute the difference between deefat and victory.
 Sir John Simon, the former home
 secretary, in opposing the bill, reiter- ated that it was not alone a, question | for the military to decide. There was
 no evidence, he said, that the bill would really add to Great Britain's na- I tional force and strength. It would create 8 maximum amount of hardship with minimum results.
 1 Nobody who had heard MT. Lloyd | George today, he commented. would
 suppose that he was the same man who a year ago emphasized the part
 England must play in the economics
 of the war.
