kXIAsHINGToN, April 2O.-while

WAsHINGToN, April 2o.-While
w United States waits for Ger
many to reply to note demanding the
immediate abandonment of present
methods of conducting submarine
warfare, one of the chief sources OF
concern here is the possibility Of an
other attack on peaceful snip car
rying Americans before the Berlin
government has determined upon Its
course. In such an event it is ad-
mitted that an immediate rupture
could be prevented only by proof that
Germany had been unable to COM
municate with her submarine COM
mander.
In explaining the demand of the
United States today officials said that
while abandonment of the present IL
legal methods at once was essential
to continuance of diplomatic rela-
tions, the United States might agree
to German submarines operating un-
der the strict restrictions of cruiser
warfare. 1t was emphatically reit-
Grated however. that discussion of
that phase would not be entered into
until the present campaign was
brought to stop. The United States
stands firm in its determination not
to tolerate the unlawful and in
human. sinking of another ship.
Liners Must lie Saved.
Cruiser warfare. such as would be
regarded as legal by the American
government. would make imperative

search, the passengers and crews be-
ing accorded degree of safety con-
sidered adequate. The mere placing
of passengers and crews In small boats

would not meet the requirements.

Day Wednesday evening Of this week
by banquet given at the Berendo
hotel There were more than seventy
five seated at the tables, the banquet
ers being the Masons and their wives
and lady friends.
The spread was an elegant one and
the guests were seated for fully an
hour and half It was spread by
the Ladies Aid society Of the Metho-
dist church, the members Of which
took charge of the affair instead of
the hotel management. They prepar-
ed an elegant banquet and served 1t
with taste. During the course of the
feasting music was enjoyed as fur
nished by an orchestra which came
down from Pueblo for the occasion.
Following the banquet social
dance was indulged in at the Wool

the same orchestra furnished the
music.
There were several out-of-town
guests in attendance at both the BAN
quet and dance, most of them being
holiday guests OF friends and rela-
tives.
Celebration of st. Johns Day in
such an elaborate manner was the
first which the Masonic lodge of this
city had ever undertaken, and 1t was
a decided success as social event.
