WASHINGTON, April %
Marked relaxation OF tension over
the German.American situation Ia
manifest in Washington today.
This IN attributed to knowledge
that the German reply to the Amer
lean submarine demands had been
completed and that the kaiser was
discussing continued friendly rela
lions with Ambassador Gerard.
II is expected that the reply OF
Germany will be accompanied by a
personal expression from German
officials OF a strong desire that no

course between the nations.
The reply will probably be In the
