previous instructions which were Civ.
en- at the behest of President Wilson
Secretary Lansing stated today that
it was possible the state department
might ask for official copies of the
original orders. The new orders
however, apparently are regarded as
meeting the presidents demand for a
declaration and abandonment of the
present practices of submarine war
fare. Officials seem agreed that the
presidents demand that Germany al
so EFFECT" such an abandonment only
could be answered by time
Difference of View.
Under such circumstances one set
of officials feel the threatened break
will not come at this time; another
set is convinced that Germany's ap-
parent determination to make the full
fillment of her promises conditional
upon the success of the presidents
negotiations with Great Britain war
rants the severance of diplomatic re-
lations.
At the state department, after the
situation had been thoroughly discus
sed at the cabinet meeting, it was
stated that because of the length Of
the note, the time required for di-
gesting it carefully and the necessity
of having at hand the official text for
the preservation of all shades of
meaning which might be obscured in
translation or in wireless transmits
sion, it practically was certain that
the president would not reach his de-
cision before next week.
Out of it all two things were made
clear. They were that the United
States still holds firmly to it's deter
mination that: mistakes" of subma-
rine commanders are not admissible;
that they are unforgivable, and that
the United States must continue to
regard a discussion of the conduct of
other belligerents as irrelevant to its
discussion of Germany's conduct.
While the tone of the German note
was said to be disappointing, most
officials expressed the view that after
all the language was immaterial if
the assurances were all that had been
asked for.

America To Accept
New Berli, Pledge
Expected That President Will Not Formally Announce
Conclusion Until Next Week-AuthoritatiUely Stated
Thst German Ansuver VIII Serue if Fulfilled.

Washington, May 5.-Germany'E
note has postponed, if it actually has
not averted, a diplomatic break with
the United States.
President Wilson will make the
decision after he has received the Of
ficial text, which reached the state
department late tonight by cable from
Berlin. It will be decided in time to
lay it before the president tomorrow
morning.
1t was stated authoritatively after
the cabinet meeting today that if the
official text bore out the unofficial
version transmitted in today's Ber-
lin news dispatches, Germany's as
surances undoubtedly would be &C
cepted and before taking another step
the United States would await the
fulillment of her latest promises.
In such case the United States
might not reply to the note and would
await evidence of the abandonment
of Germany's present practices of
submarine warfare which is declared
President Wilson is described by
those close about him as being in
position where he can not question
: the good faith of Germany's assur-
ances which must stand or fall by
the future conduct of her submarine
commanders.
: All That is Asked.
The German embassy view is that
the note gives all President Wilson
asked for; that it signalizes a return
to cruiser warfare"-the iise of sub
marines, as regular naval cruisers in
,tercepting commerce with visit and
search, and that inasmuch as it makes
no mention of the armed ship ques-
tion that perplexing feature, of the
controversy is not involved.
Congress took the note quietly and
although members expressed va
riety of views, the general sentiment
seemed to be in favor of leaving the
situation in the hands of the presi-
dent. On the surface there was no
sign of activity in the group which

has been working to prevent the
president from pressing the situation
to the point of diplomatic rupture.
Left to Future.
Cabinet members went over the un-
official text carefully with the presi-
dent and while they uniformly re-
fused to discuss it, they reflected the
view that a break has been averted; /;
that Germany's new assurances would
be accorded the test of time, notwith-
standing the reference to the action
Germany expects the United States
to take against Great Britain's re-
straints on neutral trade. They ex-
pressed this view with full realization
of the differences of opinion on what

national law and of the presidents

CUTS OUT PARTY LINES
Topeka Boarding and Rooming Houses
Must Pay Business House Rates.

All rooming and boarding houses in
Topeka will be placed on a 1-party
telephone line and charged the same
rate as business houses, So a month,
after April l. This was an announce
ment made today by s. J. Bear, COM
mercial division superintendent of the
Missouri and Kansas Telephone com
pany. Boarding and rooming houses
with less than four boarders or room
ers will be exempt
It has been impossible for proper
service TO be given on 4-party or
party lines where a boarding or room
ing house has one of the extensions.
Mr.. Bear explained. Some houses
with a dozen roomers are on such lines
now and the telephone is almost con-
stantly in use. Similar tactics were
pursued by the company in placing
fraternity and sorority houses on a
single line recently.
We do not wish TO place a hardship
on any one said Mr.. Bear. but in or
der TO facilitate good. service and re-
duee the number of complaints from
those on party lines this is necessary.

in the country has adopted similar
