Conferences at Front Hold
Up Note Washington
Less Hopeful
GERARD CABLES REPORT
By CARL W. AcKERMAN


J
The conferences at the Kaisers head
quarters at the front, at which the char.
acter OF the German reply to the American
note is being finally determined, probably
will be concluded tonight.
Ambassador Gerard is expected to reach
Berlin late this afternoon. II is believed
that following his talk with the Emperor
the Ambassador was taken to the German
front.
Preparation of Germany's reply to the
American note on submarine warfare has
been delayed by the extended conferences
of high Government officials with Emperor
William at army headquarters
II is regarded at the Foreign Office
as unlikely that the reply can reach
Washington before the end of the present
week. According to semiofficial reports
the documents will be long. setting forth
in detail many facts concerning which
the German Government fears that the
United States has gained a false inn
preston.
The reply, according to information
reachng correspondents, will reiterate
Germany's desire to conduct its submarine
warfare in accord with the dictates of
humanity. Another section will express
the desire of Germany to retain the
friendship of America,
The Nossische Zeitung said editorially
today that the continuance for the re-
mainder of the war of friendly relations
between Germany and the United States
rests entirely with President Wilson.
Theodore Wolff, writing in the Tageblatt,
reiterates that everything possible must
be done to avoid break, and Count Re
ventlow. in the Tages Zeitung. held fast
to his original declaration that Germany
must yield nothing.
The only news that has come from
grand army headquarters in several days
was the announcement that the American
Ambassador was the Kaiser's guest at
dinner Friday night.

GALICIA SALIENT WON
BACK BY CARS FORCES
Austrians Succeed in Conquer
ing 1t, Only to Lose 1t Again
in Counter-Attack

LONDON, May There has been
heavy fighting all along the Russian front
from the Baltic to the Caucasus.
Following up their capture on Friday
Of the Russian position south Of Lake
Narocz, with 5000 prisoners the Germans
have made a further advance, taking SO
more prisoners and four guns.
This victory by the Germans has. how
ever. been Offset by Russian gain in
Galicia. The Austrians In great force
succeeded in carrying an important sa-
lient at Boyarka, but the Russians made
desperate counter-attack, recaptured
the trenches with dead and wounded
Magyars. and captured every survivor to
the number of 622.
RUSSIAN STATEMENT.
The Russian official communication,
issued i'm Petrograd last night. says;
In the Riga region the German ar
tillery concentrated its fire on ShuoS
and to the south of Dalen Island The
region Of Zelbourg northwest of
.Ihcobstadt and many places on the
Dvinsli front, were the scenes of ar
tillery duels.
In the region west of Lake Narocz
the fighting has diminished in lnten-
sity We repulsed by our fire a Ger
man attempt to debouch from entan-
clements north of Krevo.
North Of Mouravitz, after heavy
artillery preparations, the Austrians
at dawn yesterday attacked with con-
siderable forces our trenches forming
the salient west of the village of
BpYarka. They were held by single
company, which was compelled to re-
the.
VIOLENT ARTILLERY FIRE
our detachments then opened
violent artillery fire and n counter
attack, and by I O'clock despite
guests of fire, we recaptured the lost
trenches with all of their surviving
Magyar garrison. totaling 22 officers
ard COO men, who surrendered their
arms.
The rcconquered trenches were filled
with dead or wounded Magyars our
losses were four officers and 100
soldiers. We CAPTURED great num-
Der of rifles and considerable muni-
tions and other booty
In the Caucasus region, near
Diarbekr we repulsed an offensive hy

EARNESTNESS OF AMERICA.
The writer says that the present is no
time to discuss Americas earnestness or
her disposition ito place Germany upon
a tall moral horse
1.-THE point today" he adds, sis that
America is convinced of the justice of
her demands. That nation has been
seized with an explosive sentiment only
paralleled by her feeling prior to the
Spanish war"
Aside from an article by Won Reventlow
in the Tages Zeitung,- the Boersen Zeitung
is the only other paper to discuss the
American situation 1t warns the public
against too great optimism. though ad-
mitting that Ambassador Gerard's trip to
headquarters is a favorable omen
From this trip, the paper declares. the
public has drawn the conclusion that Ger
many is coming unquestionably to an alb
solute understanding, and adds that such
premature conclusions, 1t should be known,
are not without danger.
"It appears" continues the paper, "as If
a considerable part of the public regards
the matter with too rosy view and as
if the German Government alone could
regulate affairs
THE only conclusion to be drawn from
the conference at headquarters is that
Germany is endeavoring to find way
to reach an understanding. for good will
on the part of the German Government
to avoid a conflict with America is not
lacking, and it would be foolish not to do
everything possible TO prevent difficulties"
In answer to those who maintain that
a breach or war with the United States
should only be welcomed by Germany.
the Boersen Zeitung earnestly warns its
readers not TO forget the far-reaching inn
portance commercially of German
American war, which would mean a
breach not only for the period of the war
but for years to come,

tion," IL concludes. the deliberations are
continuing at headquarters, the result of
which will be judged by history. We do

This was Germany's position a year ago.

has never receded from IT, The memo

last week has made mandatory for Ger
many Immediately to reverse its attitude
on this point, and Secretary Lansing has
declined to permit Mr.. Gerard to discuss
the matter.

ORIGIN OF PUNCH IS TRACED
English Brought the Drink from India
Humorous Mistake Made by
schIeswig Magnates.

In Germany punch is the national
drink for the night of St. Sylvester,
when Germans finish the year by
drinking punch, usage observed even
by the kaiser himself Punch is what
they drink when they have colds.
Moreover, we are told that the Eng
fish brought punch from India. It
takes its name from panscha. a San
scrit word for five, because such is
the number of the ingredients, arrak
or rum, tea, sugar, lemon and hot wa
ter 1t was in 1886 that the English
first celebrated the New Year with
punch.
A contemporary relates an amusing
story in connection with punch. When
Frederick VII. came to Tlensburg, in
Schleswig. he gave a banquet to the
notables Of the die irict After the
dessert be desired a court official to
inquire how the guests had enjoyed
his hospitality. They hesitated to ex-
press an opinion. but at length one,
holder than his fellows, resolved to
speak freely.
Everything was excellent save the
punch. The magnates of Schleswig
had drunk for punch the warm water
charged with perfume which had been
placed before them for ablutions.
