BERLIN REPLY ON ]. U-BOAT CASESIS RECEIVED BY U. s. State Department Busted With Decoding of Official
 Document.1 MORE EVIDENCE TO
 BE GATHERED HERE Germany's Admissions In Some Gases Will Aid
 Work of State Dept.

Washington; April 13-The Ger man note on the Sussex and other submarine cases has been received at the state department and was being decided today. It probably will be laid before President Wilson and Secretary Lansing before night.
 The affidavits from Paris and Lon- don. expected today on the liner St. Paul, will be considered in connection with the German note, and the Gin formation" regarding attacks on mer- chant vessels since the LuSitania dis asteF is expected to be completed in time to come within the next week.
 While awaiting the official text of the note, administration officials were carefully examining statements in the unofficial text received from Berlin and were comparing them with evidence already at hand.
 Germany's adn1isd ons that her submarines recently torpedoed three merchant ships carrying Americans and that one of them attacked a. vessel near the point where the Sus- sex met disaster simplifies the work of the state department in preparing for the next step of this country in the submarine controversy. Officials make it plain that this step rests on the accumm ulation ok evidence that
 
 ger in violation of their rights.
 The United States will continue to compile evidence indicating that Ger man submersib1es are operating in violation of the rules of international law. Instructions to Ambassador Gerard, designed as a final word of this government on the subject, will be up for deliberation, it is said.
 The full text of the German note and the entire submarine situation will be discussed at tomorroW's cab inet meeting.
 While Germany denies the Sussex was torpedoed by one of her subIna- rines and explains that a. sketch made by submarine commander of a ship he torpedoed did not tally with the description of the Sussex officials say that Germany's admission that 3. sub marine was in the vicinity coupled with the array of evidence at hand sex was tOrpedoed.
 Likewise officials say there is a conflict between the evideDce in the German version that the steamers Eng1ishman and Eagle Point were sunk after they attempted to escape and vidence received here from other sources. Germany's contentious in the cases of the steamers Berwindvale and the Manchester Engineer are not considered here as conclusive.
 (The unofficial text of the Ger man note on the Sussex and other submarine cases will be found on Page of The Farmer today.)

LONDON VIEW OF NOTE.

7 London, April 13-A1though the London evening newspapers print the German reply to the United States on submarine warfare under such heads as 'fVain endeavor to gull American pubIic,'' Amazing American note'' and Berlin eats it's own worlds" the Westminster Gazette is the only one to comment on the note. It says:
 'fWe don't know whether the Ger mans believe that hard-headed Amer jeans will take seriously explanations so childish. If we so fancy they have done less than justice to the American nation.

Ready for First
Contest Friday

Members Of the Bensdictine College
football team have been working hard
during the past few days for the drst
game of the season tomorrow At Broad
Street Park with McGuirs's University
School
The work Of the boys has been very
satisfactory to Coach Robert Amos and
no believes that he will turn out 4
good team. despite the fact that the
boys are light.
The backfeld will be composed Of
Asher. SAVIOUR. Haflin and Bauer.
while the linesmen have not yet been
definitely selected. However, there Is
strong probability Of Roster play
ing center: schaill playing one guard
and Wood and Motto alternating in the
other; Moore and Klevasahl in tackle !;
Keller on one end and SAVIOUR and
OKeefe taking turns in looking after
the other.
The Mcclure boys have also been
practicing hard and one Of the snap
piest games OF the season should re-
suit.

Despite the fact that It was being
whispered around that the Richmond

cause OF the fact that the material

putting his charges through some
strenuous workouts In the past few
days and they will be in condition for
the first game next week with Bene-
d,ctine College. The exact date for
this game has not yet been set. but
It il thought that 1t will be played
about the middle OF the week. The
boys are showing . lot of lighting
spirit, and Coach Ancarrow 10 ex-
pected to turn out another formidable
eleven this season.
Among the old men who are back

Was Lost To Tarheels, He Has
Returned To Fold.

Chapel Hill. Oct. 4-The news
that John c. Tayloe would remain on
the varsity football team brought Joy
to Tar Heel here today. It was
thought Saturday that he would have
to quit the game because OF the press
OF his medical studies, but in response
to a petition from the student body,
his father this morning wired tho
coaches that he might play. He has
been shifted to tackle this year after
playing guard for two years. Last
season he distinguished himself In many

Much practicing IN kicking Is being
given. The offense did not work very
smoothly Saturday until the second
half but later in the game 1t began to
get under way. The work on the de-
fense was OF high order throughout
the game.
The team leaves for Princeton Fri
day. and although 1t entertatns no
hopes OF victory there. 1t does expect
to hold down Princeton's score within
reasonable limits. The first game tndi-
cate that the men were in splendid
condition physically.
