Washington.-The German govern

contained in a note delivered by Am.

The communication explains that
whlle Germany refused at first to per

changed for American goods now ex.
cluded from Germany by the British
blockade. after careful consideration
OF the situation it has been seen that
thls blockade has resulted in serious
embarrassment to those American in.
dustries which are in need OF dye-

ernment now is prepared to make "a
single exception" in permitting expor.
tation in this instance 1t is required
only that the dyestuffs shall be con
sumed by American manufacturers
and not re-exported TO Great Britain

LAST WORD TO GERMANY
AMERICA ANXIOUSLY AWAITS
REPLY FROM IMPERIAL
GOVERNMENT.
President Tells Congress Germany
Must Accede to Demands to Pre-
vent Breaking OF Relationship.

Washingt N. - President Wilson's
long-eXpected final warning to Ger
many that the United States will break
OH diplomatic relations unless she
abandons her present methods OF sub
marine warfare, and Immediately de
clares her intention to do so, was de-
llVered in note to Berlin and was an
nounced by the President in an ad-
dress TO joint session OF Congress.
The President demands nothing less
than the abandonment of submarine
warfare against commerce.
Both the Presidents address and
the American note declare in uneuui.
vocal terms that only by Germany ac-
ceding to the demand can the breaking
OF of relations be prevented.
The President considers that the
next step depends solely upon Ger.
many and that three or four days
constitute a reasonable time for a
reply He is willing to discuss how
submarine warfare may be conducted
within the limits of international law
and humanity after Germany aban-
dons her present methods.
Diplomatic history records but one
instance as yet where a breaking of
relations between two first-class Pow
ers has not eventually brought war
that which now exists between Ger
many and Italy

FAR FROM SETTLED
REPORT THAT MEXICAN OFF,
GALS WARNED GEN, PERISH
ING TO STOP.
FELIX DlAZ NOW TROUBLES
Starts Revolution Against De Facto
Government.-Diaz Movement Has
Money Backing.

Washington.-Whil immediate in
terest naturally centers in the situa-
tion as to the troops in Mexico there
were renewed indications about the
State Department that a wholly differ-
ent aspect of the Mexican problem was
causing growing concern. That is the
movement supposedly headed by Felix
Diaz. nephew of the former Mexican
dictator. for new revolution against
the de facto Government None of
the information upon which the un-
easiness rests has been disclosed. 1t
Is known, however that several Mexi-
cans in the United States are being
closely watched and 1t is possible that
some of the anti-American feeling in
Chihuahua state which has met the
troops pursuing Villa may be attribnt-
ed to this movement
1t is admitted that official dis
patches had carried as a rumor the
report that Mexican officers had warn
ed General Pershing not to proceed
south Of Parral. 1t was learned at the
State Department that a report to this
effect was transmitted some days be-
fore the Parral incident through con-
sular agents. Mr.. Baker insisted that
the warning had made no change In
the departments orders to the border
forces.
1t was indicated that a reply to
General Carranzas telegram regard
ing the clash at Parral and asserting
that the American Government had
violated his orders and the agreement
with the de facto government in enter
ing the town would be dispatched
soon. War Department officials say
the report on the incident from Gen
eral Pershing, Major Tompkins and
other officers is now complete. 1t has
been withheld from publication be-
cause of the fiat contradiction it con-
tains OF the Mexico City advices from
General Carranza as to the part his
troops played in the fighting. With
this report as a basis. the Parral Incl
dent will be treated as matter en-
tirely separate from the suggestion OF
the de facto government that the
troops be withdrawn.

Neutrality-suspicious. Democrats and

London.-A daring attempt by
German auxiliary to land arms in
Ireland for the purpose of resistance
against England has resulted in the
sinking of the vessel and the capture
of Sir Roger Easement. a leader OF
the Separatist faction in Ireland.
The occurrence is without parallel
In the annals of Erin's Isle and will
send a shock of concern throughout
Great Britain. Though the members
OF the Seapratist faction had hailed
the present war az golden oppor-
tunity for Islend to strike for freedom
from its allegiance to England, the
actual attempt will take rank as
one of the most sensational develop
ments Of the titanic struggle.
1t was during the period between
the afternoon of April 20 and the af-
ternoon of April 81. says the official
announcement, that the attempt to land
arms and ammunition in Ireland was
made by a vessel under the guise of a
neutral merchant ship. but in reality a
