GERMAN REPLY
 BE SATISFACTORY
GRANT ALL AMERICAS WISHES
German Officials Decide that Main tenance of Friendly Relations with United States will Be Great Blow to the Allies.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. April 2S.- It is reported here that Germany will accept the terms of President Will sons note on the submarine cam paign. It is said that the change of front so suddenly made, is due to the fact that the German statesmen have reached the conclusion that they have more to gain from even complete abandonment of the submarine war fare, if by such action they retain friendly relations with the United States than to lose it by continuing to sink all the enemy vessels with which the submarines come in con- tact.
 At a conference of the German ministers it was decided that break with the United States, followed by a possible entrance of this country into the war would be of the greatest aid to the Allies, and that they have been working for several months to this end. The tone of the press in England and France since the dis patch of the note to Germany has re- vealed to how great an extent the al- lies have counted upon the United States as an ally, and it is considered that Germany could deal no greater blow than to maintain her friendly in- tercourse with America.
 It is said that the reply to Presi- dent Wilson's note will be all that the United States could desire, and that there will not be the slightest pre- text for a severance of diplomatic relations.
