REMARKABLE REVIEW OF GERMAN SITUATION
 BEARS OUT EDITORIAL OF THE AGE-HERALD

Germany, it is possible that President Wilson would return the note to the Ger man ambassador with the statement that this government does not receive such communications
 NOT THE AGENT OF EITHER
 Continuing, he said:
 ''The United States Is not acting as Germanys agent to exact promises from Great Britain. nor as Great Britains $ agent in it's controversy with Germany. It is none of Germany's concern what intercourse or disputes this country has with Great Britain.
 The United States is acting in it's own interest and in the interest of neutrals insisting that international law be pre- served inviolate. All the argument in the German reply is gratuitous. And what Germany says in the note is not international law. The crucial point is the new orders given the submarine com manders

It is regarded as certain that the President will not repeat his i'm sstence that freight bearing vessels be similarly respected; that, in other words, he will ignoe Germanys studied declination to respond to his former demand in this particular.
 One of the most remarkable analyses of the situation yet printed appears tonight to the credit of the Interna- tional News service in a Washington newspaper According to teis statement an official in the service of the gov ernment, a man in position to speak authoritatively. declares that the de- velopments have been in effect just as The Age Herald, in its editorial fol- lowing the sending of the Presidents $ demands, predicted they would be. As follows, this official is quoted:
 BUT FOR CONDITIONS
 If it had not been for the recent pri- marles, which clearly indicate the senti- ment of this country concerning war, and for the further fact that it is uncer- tain whether under the circumstances Congress would support the President if he should sever diplomatic relations with

Washington, May s-(special.) Within the several days which have elapsed since the reception of the Ger man reply to the demand of this gov ernment that submarine warfare be conducted in accordance with Presi- dent Wilson's idea of international law, it has become evident that unless in the future American travellers be in jured by Teuton shells. no break be- tween the two countries at issue will occur.
 The idea in the east is that the Ger man note both in language and ex- pressed meaning was of necessity un- satisfactory to President Wilson The reply studied in connection with the formal demands of the President did not, it is generally agreed. meet, in many essential respects, the require ments of this government.

It is especially noted dS iHulCdliHs the purpose Ot the lin~
 perial government as 10 the future that it is prepared to do it's utmost to confine the operation of the
 war for the rest of it's duration to the fighting forces of the belliger- ents,' and that it is determined to impose upon all it's commanders at sea the limitations of the recog- 1 nized rules of international law upon which the government of the United States has insisted.
 Throughout the months which have elapsed since the imperial government announced on Febru-
 ary 4. 1915, it's submarine policy now happily abandoned, the gov ernment of the United States has 1 been constantly guided and re strained by motives of friendship | in its patient efforts to bring to an amicable settlement the critical questions arising from that policy According to the imperial gov fContipued Page Three)

CYMR|C TORPEDOED BY GERMANS WHILE CARRYING IMMENSE
 CARG00F MUNITIONS
Exact Location of Attack Not Known - Germans Gain Entire System of Trenches on French Front at Verdun While French Say They Were Elected


 London, May 8--The 1S,00o-ton White Star liner Cymric, which for sometime has been engaged in freight service, has been torpedoed by a German submarine, according to advices received here. One report says that Cymric was attacked in the Atlantic. The information of the White Star company at Liverpool is that the steamer was torpedoed about noon today.
 The Cymric left New York April 29 with an enormous cargo of war muni- tions. She usually makes the voyage from New York to Liverpool in 10 days; she was, therefore, within day or two of her destination. It is considered prob able in the absence of definite details that the disaster occurred off the west coast of Ireland, but whether on the northerly or southerly route cannot be stated Whether the Cymric went down is not yet known, although an early mes sage received in London reported that she was sinking. The crew numbered about 100 men, but the steamer carried no passengers.
 GERMANS TAKE TRENCHES
 An entire system of trenches on the northern slope of Hill 304 northwest of verdun has been captured by the Ger mans according to Berlin, and the French in the fighting suffered extra ordinarily heavy casualties. In addition 40 officers and 12SO soldiers were taken prisoner.
 Paris reports that to the east of the hill the Germans were driven from com munication trench, which they previously had penetrated, and that to the west of the hill German assault against French positions at Hill 27 was put down.

ANOTHER MEETING.

SubSecretary Amador following the conference. announced that no decision had been reached and another meeting probably would be held. Word reached here tonight from Marathon that q minister, name unknown, returning from an automobile tour through the district raided last Friday, last night said the body of one of the bandits was found near Glenn Springs on Sun day and that papers found on him identified him as Carranza follower.
 No further report came to General Funston from the raided district. The only news of the day was the arrival of two troops of cavalry from Fort Clark and two from Fl Paso at Mar athon, where they started southward on 95-mile march.
 General Funston refused to indicate whether a second expeditionary force is to go into Mexico near Boquillas, but in reply to question as to whether a report from Washington that troops may already have crossed was true, he replied that he believed they had mot yet" gone over.

New de- mands were presented to the Mexican representatives. it was said, which would include the cooperation or the Mexican and American troops in dis tricts not hitherto touched in the ne- gotiations
