ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS OF
THE OPINION THAT 1T MEETS
ALI THE DEMANDS.
Pointed Out That the President
Asked for Change I'm Submarine
Policy and This Change
Was Promised.

WASHINGTON. May 5.-Ambas-
sador Bernstorff accepted the Ger
mar reply as satisfactory TO the
United States and will cali at the
state department next week TO take
up the matter of British violations
of international law mentioned In
the German note. This was learned
shortly after the complete tiki Ct
the reply was received in Washing
ton. The probable points to be con
tended for by Bernstorff will be tht
British attempt to starve out the
German population, and the seizure
of mails.
A high official who is in close
touch with the Gtrman-American
negotiations said, after a careful pc
rusal of the reply that Germany
D to have made great conces-
sions. | cannot see where the situa-
ton at present justifies a break
Germany appears to have gone
further than the early reports in
Dictated.
Senator Hughes of New Jersey,
an early caller at tht White House
after reading the note, said he was
.agreeably surprised and suggested
that it ought to be accepted. There
was almost unanimous opinion
among others who called at the
White House that the president will
accept the offer of the German gov
eminent as it was given in good
faith. 1t was pointed out that the
president asked Germany TO declare
in effect a change in her submarine
policy and this change has been de-
cleared in her reply.
