 Rear Admiral Benson then talked to Captain Chandler. reiterating the secre- tary's instructions and ordering the New Hampshire to keep in touch with the de- partments by radio telephone and report it's position every hour, Rear Admiral Badger retired. and several other of ficers exchanged greetings with the cap- tain. Brigadiers General MaComb, in charge of the Army War college, and Brigadier General Screvef,. chief of the army signal service, told the capAin that the army was par{icularly interested in tests.

 The plan represents more than a year of continued labor by naval officers and experts of the American Telephone and Telegraph company who have been co operating with the department on the in- vitation of Secretary Daniels.

Wilson Carefully Studying Note and All Shades of Words - Conditions I'm
 posed Are Disappointing

Washington, May s.-The probability that diplomatic break with Germany has been averted, at least, temporarily, was strengthened today when the official text of the German note, laid before Pres ident Wilson and Secretary Lansing, was found to be almost identical with the un- official version sent to the United States in press dispatches.
 Officials had indicated that should the official text bear out the unofficial yer sion, they thought it improbable diplomat ic relations would have to be severed, un- less there should be further attacks upon merchant ships in violation of the new pledges given.
 Disappointment has been indicated, how ever, over certain features of the Ger man reply and some high officials be- lieve that 1t at least cannot be accepted internationally. The President and Sec retary Lansing studied the text carefully today, going very minutely over the phraseology and the shades of meaning that might be attached to various ex- pressions

BANKHEAD'S GOOD ROADS BILL WILL
 BE PASSED MONDAY
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, May 6-(Special.) 1.-The Bankhead good roads bill, as a result of formal agreement reached this after noon in the Senate will be submitted to vote Monday. There is nothing surer than it's passage.
 The bill provides an appropriation in five years of s75.0Oo.0OO. to be expended in cooperation between the federal govern ment and the several states in the com struction of model highways. If Ala bama responds to the requirements of the bill. it's pro rata share of the total appro- priation will approximate s2.00o. GOO. The fact that the House has already enacted measure identical in theory. gives as- surance that in this session of Congress the fight for federal aid initiated by Senator Bankhead several years ago will be crowned with success.
 Senator Bankhead has about won his victory in the Senate after a strenuous struggle. characterized by unusually cleverd parliamentary tacncs. As re- called. two weeks ago. he was given three days within which to secure a vote.

GERMAN OFFENSIVE
 AGAINST VERDUN IS
 RENEWED F|ERCELY
French Forced to Evacuate Some Trenches Near Dead Mans Hill-15 Captive
 Balloons Break Loose

The Germans have resumed the offen- sve in spirited fashion in the verdun region.
 Paris reports a bombardment of un- precedented violence in the vicinity of Hill BOA, northwest of the fortress, which forced the French to evacuate some of their trenches on the northern slope of the hill. The Germans, however were unable to advance because of the French barrier of fire and were checked in at tacks to the west and northwest of the hill
 Berlin's account of the fighting north west of verdun describes it as proceeding successfully for the Germans.
 According to German headquarters. the French met with something like an aerial disaster when large number of their captive balloons broke loose during a sudden storm and 15 of them were cap tured by the Germans
 QUIET IN EAST
 Conditions are comparatively quiet on the eastern front, the only operation or note being reported by Vienna in the driv- ing of the Russians from a wood to the southwest of Olyka
 Activity also seems to have slack ened on the Austro-I Italian front. The chief happening, according to the Vienna war office. was the expulsion of the Italians from salient trenches near Luzerna.
 Constantinople has reports of an uprising in the Sudan. where the Iman of Darfour. with troops and 5000 camels. is said to be marching against the British in the northern Sudan, who are in retreat toward the Nile.

SITUATION AT THE UNIVERSITY AT NO TIME WAS SERIOUS
 -DR. DENNY
Formal Statement Issued by Authorities of University in Regard to Diphtheria
 Situation
-DR. DENNY

Tuscaloosa May 6.--(Special.) )--Dr. George H. Denny, president Of the Uni versity of Alabama, has issued a4joinf the university, deploring the publicity which has been given the outbreak of incipient diphtheria at the university dur ing the last week.
 pr. Denny declares that at no time has the situation been grave and that of the 10 actual cases of diphtheria, all students affected have entirely recovered.
 The statement issued tonight follows:
 Tn view of the unwarranted deduc- tions tbat have found their way into the newsps pers, and especially into the head lines. we desire to call attention to the official statement made today by the county and state health authorities and approved by the university physicians to the effect that out of student body of 700, only 10 actual cases of diphtheria, all of the mildest type, have developed that these are now practically well; that the young nen who have shown positive cultures are being segregated to avoid any spread of the trouble; that the situa- tion is in no sense alarming, and that the great mass of the students have not been interrupted in their work for sim gle day.
 We deprecate. therefore, the apparent tendency to overstate the matter, which is obviously calculated to create undue anxiety on the part of the parents and friends of the young men. There is abso- lutely no excitement at the university This is likewise true of the city of Tus- caloosa, es is shown by the fact that students living in town are in constant attendance on the regular exercises at the university
