Germany Admits Right of Search

ALLIES MUST CHANGE METHODS
Otherwise Germany Will Revoke Con-
cessions and Return to Original
Plan of Submarine Warfare.

Berlin, May 5.-The German note to
America acquiesces in the contention
of the right of search and seizure OF
both freight and passenger vessels,
but it urges upon the United States
the necessity of insisting that Great
Britain change her illegal methods Of
warfare. a
In case the United States is unable
to bring about any change of method
on the part of Great Britain then Ger
many will be forced to return to her
original tactics in submarine warfare.
The concessions are made not only
in the interests of humanity, but be-
cause of the long.standing friendship
with the United States.
The note admits the possibility that
the unknown channel steamer sunk
by submarine was the Sussex, but
pleads that the sinking of that vessel
was due to error.
The note ironically calls attention
to the fact that while the United
States is only protecting against the
illegal acts of Great Britain and the
allies the American government is
threatening Germany.

Washington, May 4.-Secretary
Lansing announced late today that a
dispatch from Ambassador Gerard
contained indications of what the am
bassador believed would constitute
Germanys reply to the American note
on submarine warfare.
Secretary Lansing declined to make
public the dispatch or any part of its
contents or to say what the indications
were, but in spite Of his refusal to dis
cuss the dispatch 1t became known
late today that in view of such infor-
nation as has been received, officials
of the government fear Germany has
attached conditions to its reply that
may made it impossible for the United
States to continue diplomatic rela-
tions.

To Rupert Hughes

The following bit Of verse has been
written by Mrs. George N. Seidlitz
OF st. Louis, formerly Of this city,
complimentary to Rupert Hughes, a
Keokuk author. The title is the name
of one of his latest stories:
"Loag Ever Ago."
Sweetest Of voices singing the old
songs that nobody sings
Perfume Of lilies and roses,
That to my fancy clings;
Faces and VOWS and keepsakes. all
buried deep and low,
Brought to life by the name Of a
story
Long ever ago."
Memory, draw back the curtains that
I may revel again
In love, and laughter and sunshine
or the land where dreams begin;
Visions Of Hsaven and June time
Before me ebb and flow,
AS drink in again the nectar
OF Long ever ago."
Oh land Of love time and trust time,
walk thy primrose path.
Thrilled in the disillusion and bliss
that memory hath;
Leave me the enchantm ents, which
from thy magic, glow
In that castle building, dream time,
Long Ever Ago." @
Florence H. Seidlitz.
