Washington reporting the probable ac-
ceptance of the German submarine note
reply by the United States government
brought disappointment to Great Brit
ain tod"y. The morning newspapers
published lengthp editorials and
agreed almost unanimously that the re-
ply failed to meet the American de-
mands The press expressed concern
over the concessions conditional on a
change of British methods.
The only paragraph satisfactory to
London was Germany's declaration
that concessions made would prevent
the prOlcngltion of the war Critics
seized upon this as an admission that
Germany is highly alarmed over the
possible effects of America S entrance
into the war ON the side of the allies.
The Post and the Caronicle agreed
that Germany was prolonging the ne
gOtiations again.

offered to make peace and a declara-
tion that she yields because she be-
lieves prolongation of the war a ca
lamity, these if not actual indications
Of apprehension for the future are ap-
peals to this country for affirmative
steps that will stop the carnage, ae-
cordng to belief Of German as well as
administration circles.
1t may be said authoritatively that
some persons close to the president be-
litve he should tentatively sound out
the belligerents on the question Of
possible peace and result Of the Germ IN
note.
One Of these said: "We hear in this
no voice Of the braggart or the bully
but the voice of a nation sick and tired
of the endless fight 1t is the neart
and soul Of Germany speaking what 1t
Efeels. -
The president for more than a year
has declined to offer his services to-
ward peace. Until such action is sug-
gested to him by a belligerent it is
believed he will make no move. This
suggestion, in the minds Of many, has
come. Whether the president will SO
regard it remains to be seen.
Much probably depends on what
