NOTE ACCEPTED WITH WARNING
Break Is Delayed by United States
While Germany Keeps Her Word.

Washington. May S.-The Amcri-
can reply to Germanys submarine
note was sent to Berlin and was given
out for publication tonight. The
note is very brief. Germany is told
that diplomatic relations will not be
broken while the new orders TO sub
marine commanders are respected.
but rcitcrates that any negotiations
between Germany and the United
states cannot be conditioned on ne
GOtiationS between the United States
and Great Britain.
Text Of Note Sent Germany.
Following is the text of the note
cabled to-day by Secretary Lansing
to Ambassador Gerard at Berlin,
with instructions to deliver it to the
German minister OF foreign affairs:
"The note OF the imperial German
government, under date Of May 4,
l9lG, has received careful considera-
ton by the government Of the United
States. 1t is especially noted, as in
dicating the purpose Of the imperial
government as to the future that it
is prepared to do its utmost to con-
fine the operation Of the war for the
rest OF its duration to the lighting
it is determined to impose upon all
it's commanders at sea the limita-
tiOns OF the recognized rules Of inter
national law upon which the govern
mcnt Of the United States has in
sisted
''ThrOughOut the months which
have elapsed since the imperial gov
crnment announced on February 4 :,
1918, its submarine policy, now hap
PLY abandoned, the government OF
the United States has been constantly
guided and restrained by motives OF
friendship in its patient efforts to
bring to an amicablc settlement the
critical questions arising from that
policy.
"Acceptins the imperial govern
mcn's declaration OF its abandon
ment OF the policy which has so seri-
ously menaced the good relations be-
tween the two countries, the govern
ment Of the United States will rely
upon scrupulous execution hence
iorth OF the now altered policy Of the
imperial government such as will re-
move the principal danger to an in
terruption OF the good relations eX-
listing between the United States and
Germany.
The government Of the United
states feels 1t necessary to state that
IT takes for granted that tho imperial
German government does not intend
to imply that the maintenance Of its
ncYly-announced policy Is In any way
rOnttngent upon the course or result
Keowee courier. [volume] (Pickens Court House, S.C.) 1849-current, 1916-05-10

Of diplomatic negotiations between
the government OF the United States
and any other belligorent govern
ment, notwithstanding the fact that
certain passages in the imperial GOV
ernment's note of the 4th instant
might appear to be susceptible of
that construction.
''ln order, however, to avoid any
possible misunderstanding, the gov
ernment Of the United States notifies
the imperial government that it can
not for a moment entertain, much
less discuss, a suggestion that re-
spect by German naval authorities
for the rights Of citizens OF the Uni
ted States upon the high seas should
in any way or in the slightest degree
be made contingent upon the conduct
OF any other government affecting the
rights Of neutrals and non-combat-
ants. Responsibility in such matters
is single, not joint; absolute, not
relatiyc."

We cannot but feel a certain de-
gree Of sympathy for the poor and
unfOrtunatc--and we think wOfully
Standardization who have re-
belled against England, and have
come to grief. Their position diff
fcrs but slightly from the position in
which our fOrcfathers found them
selves when it was decided to throw
Off the British yoke and make for
themselves and future generations
"a land OF the brave and home OF the
free. Had failure met the efforts
Of our forefathers they, too. doubt
less would have lost their lives as
have Il number or the leaders Of the
Irish rcvOlutioniSts. These Irish
men deserve their freedom from the
yoke they have so long worn. The
pity OF 1t is that their leaders so far
forgot themselves as to strike at
time like this, seeking to thrust the
dagger into the mother country
heart when she is busily engaged in
defending herself from an outside
foe. But for this fact we could
heartily wish the Irishman God-speed
in his effort. We have nothing of
sympathy or admiration for any Of
the monarchical governments. The
sooner they are done away with the
better for all the world. Revolu-
tlOns will come before democratic
governments are established. There
will be successes and failures. The
successful leaders will be "patriots"
like our forefathers who revolted
against Britain. The unsuccessful
ones who escape with their lives viii!
hear for the remainder Of their days
treason" and "traitor." How thin
the partition between the two-and
yet how far apart they really are.
The motive and the means OF accom-
plishment alone widen the gulf that
exists between the two.

HEADS NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
Both President and Executive SccIp-
tary Are South CarOliniuns.

Washington, May 5.-E. j. Wat
son, OF South Carolina. was elected
president. and DR.. G. J. Owens. OF
Washington, executive secretary OF
the National Association OF Commits
sioners OF Agriculture, inaugurated
at meeting here yesterday.
Resolutions endorsing the bill for
the proposed national chamber Of ag-
riculture were adopted.
Dr.. Owens, who Is enthusiastic
concerning what he hopes will be ac-
compltshed along this line, said that
this "Io the first time that commits
sioners Of all the rs States had been
present to discuss the needs Of the
farmer.
at is indeed worthy Of note" he
said, "when the commissioners OF ag-
riculture from all Of the States come
together in the interest Of the farm
ers OF their respective States and the
nation. 1t means that there is a
quickcning OF the mind as to the re-
quiremcnts OF our biggest undertake
ng-agriculturc."
1t is good for South Carolina that
both OF the officers elected are Pal
metto State men. Mr.. Watson is
we'll known throughout the country,
and Dr.. Owens is originally from Or
angeburg. The latter's work along
industrial and agricultural lines dur
ing the past few years has been most
successful

convenient at times. but they are rec
ogniZed between nations as necessary
In naval warfare. The wanton de-
struction OF ships, without notice,
without warning, with utter disre-
gard for the lives OF citizens Of neu-
trail countries Is n different and far
more grave matter.
Our government has suffered griev-
ously under the present German
mode OF warning against her enc
mics. The truth Of our neutrality is
abundantly evidenced by the fact that
we still deal or friendly terms with
her. It Is to be hoped that present
promises will bear better fruit than
those Of the past.
There Is q marked feature OF the
present note from Germany that may
mean much 1t is said to be the work
Of the Kaiser himself, written under
his personal supervision and direc-
ton. 1t may be that, Kaiser-inspired,
the terms Of the promises made will
be kaiser-enforced. He can rule his
subjects abiectly and with iron hand
as successfully as he smites his enc
mics and neutralS with the mailed
fist. On the will of the Kaiser, there
fore, rests the final outcome of his
last word. He is the responsible
head, and he has spoken. 1t is no
longer the promise of Won Bethmann-
tiollwcgg set at nanght by Won Tir-
pitt. In the fact that we now have
the word direct from the mouth Of
the Kaiser lies hope or despair. We
prefer to cling to hope.
