washington, May 6.--The proba-
hility that a diplomatic break with
Germany has been averted, at least
temporarily, was strengthened today
when the Official text of the German
note laid before President Wilson
and Secretary Lansing, was found to
he almost identical with the unoffic-
ial version sent 20 the United States
in press dispatches.
Officials said that should the Of
fical text bear out unofficial version,
thew thought It improbable diplomatic
relations would have to be severed,
unless there should be further at
tacks upon merchant ships in viola
ton of the new pledges given.
May Not Be Answered.
Disappointment has been indicated.
however. over certain features of the
German reply and some high officials
believe that it at least cannot be ac-
cepted Internationally. The president
and Secretary Lansing studied the
text carefully today, going minutely
over the phraseology and the shades
of meaning that might be attached
to various expressions.
Opinion as to whether the note re-
aa;res an answer seems divided. De-
cision rests with the president, and
until he has made up his mind, it Is
unlikely that an official expression
OF opinion will be forthcoming. SO
far he has not indicated to anyone
his final judgment in the matter.
II is entirely possible that no reply
