GERMANY AGAIN
is ON PROBATION
No Danger of Break if Prom
iSeS Are Kept.
COUNTRY IS SATISFIED

General Opinion of American Press
and Public Is That Berlin Govern
ment Has Met Demands of the
United States.
Washington. May S.-There is no
danger at the present time of break
with Germany.
This is the general view of the sit
uation by officials here and has the
approval Of congress, the cabinet and
others Of the presidents advisers.
1t is the concensus Of opinion that
Germany has met the main demands
OF the United States in its new order
to the commanders of submarine
boats to the effect that no merchant
ships must be sunk without warning
and an effort made to save the pas
sengers
From great number of kilograms
received at the White House during
the night it appears the country is
satisfied Germany has made a con
cession prccmding all possibility of a
break unless she fails to live up to
her promises.
Germany may be said to be once
more on probation, with time to tell
whether she deserves the chance, ac-
cording TO the general view.
II is expected shortly the Lusitania
case will pass into history. That case
was on the point Of settlement when
the recent order of submarine warfare
on merchant ships brought the two
countries to the brink of a break
Germany Anxious for Peace.
Overshadowing in American minds
the presidents reply is the paragraph
in the German note relating to peace.
1t was thought something may result
from Germany's plain indication that
she is anxious for peace.
The conference between Ambassa-
dor Gerard and the kaiser suddenly
looms large in the minds of officials
here Since the arrival here OF the
German note the belief has grown
strong that peace may have played a
prominent part in that conference.
Germany's admission that she has
twice offered to make peace, her dec
laration that she yields to the presi-
dents demands because she believes
it will be a calamity if the war were
prolonged or increased in scope
these positions, if not actual indica-
tions of uneasiness over the future,
are at least appeals to this country
for affirmative steps that will stop the
carnage, according to expressed be-
lief in German circles as we'll as ad
ministration quarters.
1t may be said with authority that
some of those close in the councils OF
the president believe he should tenta
lively seek out the opinions of the
various powers at war as a result OF
the German note.

New York. May S.-The Suns de

"In the press of the country the

orally consider the demands have beer

OLD FITz, THE FIDDLER, is DEAD.

violin's Whisper Stirred Feet Of Two
Minneapolis Generations.
odd Fitz, the fiddler" the move
ments OF whose bow stirred the feet
of two generations of Minneapolis
dancers through nearly half century,
is dead.
The violin that in the early days
was carried again and again to promi-
nent homes that are now boarding
houses in the thoroughfare immedi-
ately to the south of Marquette ave
nue. today rested in it's case.
The life OF John Fitzgerald runs
through the history OF professional or
chestral music in Minneapolis. For
As years he lived in the house at 1861
Central avenue. in which he died, on
November 81. For As years he was a
professional violinist. He was seven
years old when he started playing.
He was 50 when he died Funeral SER
vices were held in the st. Anthony
church. He was buried in St. Anthony
OF Padua cemetery. Many veteran mu-
sicians gathered about the grave.
And through all those As years John
Fitzgerald played the same violin, a
priced instrument that had passed
through the hands of generations of
int l.;
session.
In the days that were, FitZgerald's
treasured violin was present at all the
historic hops" in oldtime Minneap-
oils. 1t was played at famous balls
at the Nicollet house. then the city's
leading hotel. At every big party in
those old-fashioned mansard rooted
and high porched brick houses which
are now falling into disrepair, but
which in those days were the homes
of Minneapolis notable families, the
youthful Fitzgerald was present with
his fiddle. He was Il member of the
city's best orchestras in those days,
and in the days that came after. He
was one of the founders of the musi-
clans union. &c.,. ...,
In the last few years Fitzgerald's
work has been confined to playing at
less important functions, many of them
dances in the small towns near Min
neapolis. For seven or eight years
his daughter, Irene, also a musician,
has played with her father
The old violin is not to be laid
away. 1t was bcuueathed to his son
John Fitzgerald. Jr. The elder FitZ-
gerald left widow and four children,

PRo.cATHEDRAL MEN ORGANIZE
ATHLETIC CLUB.

In the organization of a Mems
Athletic Club last Monday evening
by the men of the Pro-Cathedral
Parish, most beneficial movement
has been started. one which, it is
hoped, will be the foundation for the
future growth of one of the largest
clubs of its kind in the country, and
become a benefit to an untold num-
Der of Catholic boys and men of
Minneapolis and visitors who reside
in the business district and do not
have the benefit of the excellent
clubs of the parishes in the residen-
tial districts. The central location
of the Pro-Cathedral makes it an
ideal place for men to congregate
and spend their spare evenings with
their kind in the midst of refinement
and culture and where they may take
physical exercise and receive in
structions in gymnastics.
AS soon as the meeting was called
to order enthusiastic addresses out
lining the purposes of the meeting
and setting forth the great advan-
tages to be derived from the closer
association of the men of the parish
were made by the Rev. Father Cullen,

CHURCH OF ST. BRIDGET.

Religious services for the deaf will
be held at st. Bridget's Church, Emer-
son and T'hirty-eighth avenues north,
Minneapolis, at 3 o'clock. Dec. 10th.
An appropriate sermon will be
preached in the sign language by the
pastor.
Heretofore the attendance at those
services has not been satisfactory. 1t
is time that some of the Indifferent
began to realize that these services
are for their benefit. 1t is we'll that
relatives and friends of Catholic deaf
make an effort to bring the non-church
goer to those services. 1t is not
enough to exhort. Come with the
careless deaf Catholic. Try and in
crease our silent congregation. Serv-
ices will conclude with benediction of
the Blessed Sacrament.
