that Answer to Wilson's Note will Re but Reiteration of Promises AL ready Made-Deride Idea of War.

LONDON. April 25.-Advices re ceived here state that the reply of Germany to President Wilson's note will probably not be satisfactory to the United States.
 It is said the German government is willing to reiterate the pledges previously made, but it is unlikely that an agreement between the two nations can be secured on these grounds. particularly if the United States insists upon further limitation of the submarine warfare.
 It is unofflcially stated in the report that German officials are confident that the misunderstanding between the two countries will lead to nothing more serious than break in diplo- matic relations. They deride the pos sibility of war following such break and point out that neither nation would have anything to gain from an armed conflict
