manys assurances undoubtedly would
be accepted and before taking an
other step the United States woulC
await the fulfillment of her latest
promises.
In such case, the United States
might not reply to the note and would
await evidence of the actual abandon
ment of Germanys present practices
OF submarine warfare which is de
clared. President Wilson is described
by those close about him as being in
a position where he cannot question
the good faith of Germany's assur

the future conduct OF her submarine
commanders.
The German embassy view is that
the note gives all President Wilson
asked for; that 1t signalIzes return
to cruiser warfare"-the use of sub
marines as regular naval cruisers in
tercepting commerce with visit and
search and that inasmuch as it makes
no mention of the armed-ship ques

Washington, May "a note cabled
by Secretary Lansing to Ambassador
Gerard for delivery to the Berlin for
eign office informs the German gov
arnment that the United States ac'
cepts its declaration OF abandon
ment" of its former submarine policy
and now relies upon a scrupulous ex'
ecution of the altered policy to re-
move the principal danger of an inter
-rption of the good relations existing
between the two countries.
With this acceptance is coupled
formal notice to Germany that the
United States cannot for moment
entertain much less discuss, sug.
sestion that respect by German naval
authorities of the rights of citizens OF
the United States on the high seas
should in the slightest degree be
made contingent upon the conduct OF
any other government affecting the
rights OF neutrals and non-combat-
ants.
Secretary Lansing issued state
ment saying that the greater part OF
Germany's answer to the demand OF
the United States was devoted to
matters which the American govern
ment could not discuss with the Ber.
lin government, but he considered
Germany had yielded to our repre-
sentations" and that "we can have
no reason to quarrel with her" so long
as the altered policy is lived up to.
London.-The correspondent at Rot
terdam OF the Exchange Telegraph
Company cabled the following:
"On the occasion of the Easter
Festival Emperor William sent an au.
tograph letter to Pope Benedict ex'
pressing the hope that the Pontiff,
with the King of Spain, would be able
to construct scheme. with the OBJ
ject OF bringing together, under the
auspicious emblem OF the dove and
olive branch. a conference of bellig-
erents. for consideration OF an imme-
diate armistice, in the fervent hope OF
securing an early peace without det-
riment to the legitimate aspirations
of nationalities'."
The correspondent says he obtains
this information from a circular just
issued by the German Humanity
League. The circular also says CON
