Washington. D. c., May C. - The
Official text of Germans note, fully
decoded and laid before President
Wilson shows no material difference
from the unofficial text published yes
terday in news dispatches This
strengthens the probability that a
diplomatic break has been aNerted, at
least for the present.
Overnight study of the note by
Cabinet members and officials did not
change their views that probably there
would be no break in diplomatic rela-
tions unless there were further at
tacks in violation of international
law.
There is a possibility that the United
States may make a brief reply notity-
ing the Berlin government that as
long as the new orders to submarine
commanders are fully observed dlplo-
matte relations will not be discon-
tinucd on that score.
Secretary Lansing already has
studied the note once and was going
over it very carefully again to-day,
There were indications that further
- consideration by the cabinet would
not be necessary.

While 1t was indicated to-day that
President Wilson would make no fur

srnments have signifed their willing
ness to receive suggestions on the sub
iect, some officials thought to-day the
German note might possibly draw
forth something from the allies.
