At WORD FROM us,

Berlin, May S,--Word from Wash
ington that President Wilson would
accept tho concessions made In the
German reply TO the American sub
marine demands caused the great
est satisfaction here today. The pub
lie believes that the German
American controversy is definitely
closed,
Newspapers are discussing the pos
sibility OF President Wilson being ac-
ceptable TO Germany as mediator
when the time to consider peace
terms comes. Certain papers. In very
guarded phrases. pointed out that
the peace reference In the German
note Afforded Wilson an opportunity
to move definitely toward peace.
The note contains a passage OF
the utmost Importance" said the
Vorwaertz. referring to the statement
that Germany twice recently declared
Its readiness for peace. Conservative
publications ventured tho opinion
that behind the action OF the Ameri-
can government was hidden the In
tention to step forward as mediator
In the war.
Perhaps that message In the note
viii give President Wilson an oppor-
tunIty to make public the terms OF
peace he believes possible" said one
journal.
The National Liberal Gazette said:
President Wilson can perhaps do
more than merely maintain German
American peace Fate has thrown
such unheard OF power into this
mans lap that he could do stlll other
things for bleeding and suffering hui
The German reply shows
him the way"
\ majority OF the papers do not
emphasize the peace reference In the
note. possibly fearing that British
journals might accept the comment
as an indication OF German weakness.

TARIFF HALTS TRADE
PACT, SAYS BOURNE
Former Senator Declares DEM
ocratiO Rates Too Low for
Reductions to Win Conces-
sions.

The Democratic tariff affords no OPP
portunity for this country to make
reciprocal trade concessions to gain
foreign commerce, according to a state
ment of the Republican Publicity Assoc
citation. through Its president. Jonathan
Bourne, jr.
The statement quotes from conclusions
reached by the National Foreign Trade
Council meeting recently in New York.
This council recommended that 1.-The
American tariff system. whatever its
underlying principle. shall possess ade-
quate resources for the ENCOURAGEMENT
Of foreign trade by commercial treaties
or agreements or executive concessions
within defined limits, and its protection
from undue discrimination in the mark
cts OF the world"
I'm order that our tariff system shall
possess adequate resources for the en-
couragement OF our foreign trade" Mr..
Bourne states, by means OF conces-
sions to foreigners, II is imperative that
the general rates OF duty under which
we operate shall be written on such a
plane that an agreement to lower them.
In certain specific instances, In order
that we may receive reciprocal treat
ment In a particular market will offer
inducement to the people OF that mark
ct, will offer inducement to the people
OF that market to enter into the con-
tract"
Mr.. Bourne holds that the tariff rates
are now 30 low that further lowering
could not offer sufficient inducement.
