To German Note

Washington, May Following is
the text OF the note cabled today by
Secretary Lansing to ambassador
Gerard at Berlin, with instructions
to deliver It to the German minister
of foreign affairs:
The note OF the imperial German
government under date of May 4,
1916. has received careful consider
alton by the government Of tho Uni.
ted States. It is especially noted as
indicating the purpose of the imper-
ial government as to the future that
it IL prepared to do its utmost to
confne the operation OF the war for
the rest of its duration to the fight
ing forces OF the belligerents AMI
that it is determined to impose upon
all its commanders at sea the limit.
atoms of the recognized rules of in
ternational law, upon which the gov
eminent OF the United States has in
sisted.
Throughout the months which have
elapsed since the imperial govern
mcnt announced on February 4. 1918
its submarine policy, now happily
abandoned the government of the
United States has been constantly
guided and restrained by motives of
friendship in its patient efforts to
bring to an amicable settlement the
critical questions arising from that
policy. Accepting the imperial gov
ernmant's declaration of its abandon
ment of the policy which has so ser.
iously menaced the good relations
between the two countries, the gov.
eminent OF the United States will re.
" upon scrupulous execution hence
forth of the now altered policy of
the imperial government, such as
will remove the principal danger to
an interruption Of the good relations
existing between the United States
and Germany.
The government of the United
States feels 1t necessary to state 1t
takes It for granted that the i'm.
perial government does not intend
to imply that the maintenance Of its
newly announced policy is not in
any way contingent upon the course
or result of diplomatic negotiations
| between the government OF the Unit
ed States and any other belligerent
government, Notwithstanding the fact
that certain passages in the i'm
perial governments note of the 4th
instant might appear to be suscepti
BILE OF that construction. In order
| however, to avoid any possible mis-
understanding, the government OF
the United States notifies the imper
ial government that 1t cannot enter
tam, much less discuss, a suggestion
that respect by German naval auth
critics for the rights of citizens OF
the United States upon the high
seas should in any way or slightest
degree be made contingent upon tbs
conduct of any other government af
fecting the rights of neutrals and
noncombatants Responsibility In
such matters is single, not joint; alb

About Belts

Girdles are very important this season
on the tailored suit they are no longer
severe. They are trimmed with small but
tons and vary in width from three inches
at the front and back to deep panels on
the sides. A smart belt which simply
covers the back of the skirt is designed
to wear with the slightly shtrred backs
last two seasons. The upper belt is
placed at the top of the skirt, while the
lower one falls loosely over the shirring,
wide enough apart to disclose the fulness
underneath.
On the summer frock of soft batiste,
dimlty and like materials. a belt of old
fashioned grosgrain ribbon Is used These
have an edge of different cOlors, such as
blue with black, rose and tan blue and
white, peach with white, etc. Others have
edges of gold or silver on pasteI-shaded
ground.
