thousand acres inundated when the

Muscatine today. Residents were
compelled to fee, leaving everything
behind in order to save their lives.
The levee from point three miles

WILL ACCEPT NOTE
Washington Officials Inclined
to Take German Assurances
at Their Face Value.
WILL AWAIT DEVELOPMENTS
President and Cabinet Will Watch
Operation Of New German Orders
to Submarines.

Washington, May 6.-While the Ger
man note is far from satisfactory in
tone, there will be no break with Ger
many on the basis Of the kaiser's an
swer itself
The American government will &C
cept it as fulfilling the first half Of the
practical ultimatum dispatched to the
German foreign office by President
Wilson's declaring the old method
OF submarine warfare is at an end. The
United States will wait and see how it
is effected-the second half of the de-
mand upon the German government.
If the German government holds
submarine commanders to strict COM
pliance with the orders as outlined in
the answer received today, there will
be continuance of the friendly reia-
tioDs. If, however, a merchantmen or
passenger vessel should be attacked
or sunk in violation of the new orders,
severance of diplomatic relations will
follow.
Await the Official Text.
That virtually was the decision Of
today's cabinet meeting, it may be
stated tonight, and represents as well
the position of official Washington
after a day spent in almost continuous
study of the German reply.
This decision, it must be stated, is
based only upon the unofficial text as
carried by the press dispatches. The
official text of the note, as transmitted
to Ambassador Gerard, probably will
not reach the State Department before
late tomorrow or Sunday. President
Wilson and Secretary Lansing will
make no statement until the official
reply has been received.
While the American note had been
declared the last word" in the nego-
tiations as far as this country is con-
cerned, manifestly the German reply
has put the administration in z hole
that opens the way to new negotiations
and more notes.
In other words, the reply as written,
while not satisfactory, went so far
that the American government will not
break OF relations in the absence of
an overt act violating what this coun-
try has insisted is the right of mer-
chant or passenger vessels. But it has
left undecided the question of armed
merchantmen and the status in which
the German government will hold
them. Also, to the whole concession
was attached, as it is viewed here, the
conditional bringing to time Of Great
Britain, else the new order on sub
marine warfare might be withdrawn.
