Washington, May 5.-The first por- tions of the German note were read by officials here with undisguised dis appointment. The tone of the first portions was of such character that some officials feared a break in diplo- matlc relations was forecast.
 The unofficial copy was sent to President Wilson as rapidly as it was received. He had no engagements TO- day outside of the cabinet meeting, which was expected to be devoted all most exclusively to the German Situa- ton.
 No action will be taken until the official text of the note has arrived here and has been studied by the president and Secretary Lansing. The president already has discussed with his cabinet the steps to be taken In case the note was found to be unsat- isfactory.
 The official text is expected to be here before Sunday, the anniversary of the sinking of the Lusitania. It was generally expected that whatever action is taken by the American gov ernment probably will come on that day.
 The president already has informed Congress of his intention to break relations with Germany in case her reply is unsa tisfactory and, theref ore, it is believed he has decided not 10 go before Congress again before talk ing the action.
 The state departments only official information on the German note just before Il o'clock this morning was despatch from Ambassador Gerard, sent last night, saying he just had re-

| foreign office and that he was at once coding it and starting it by cable
 The unofficial copy was laid before the cabinet. One chief point for con- sideration seemed to be Germany's reference to the immunity of "mer- chant vessels recognized by interna- tlonal law This was regarded as having possibilities of relating to the dispute over question of armament and alleged instructions of the British admiralty to merchant captains to at- tack submarines
 The first impression in official cir cles was that the full text did not much relieve the unfaVOrable i'm pres sion created by the opening portions although it was admitted that the new instructions to submarine command CTS would have to be weighed and cOD- sidered very carefully before their ac- ceptablity to this government could be determined.
 When the cabinet meeting broke up Secretary Lansing met all inquiries with this reply:
 'I cannot discuss it at all at this time''
 All the other members of the cabi- net made similaar statements. It was made plain that President Wilson would decide after studying the official text.
 While final decision on the attitude of the American government waits on the official text. some cabinet mem bers indicated that the German assLr- ances probably would be accepted and that diplomatic relations would not be broken unless the order to subna- rine commanders was violated and American lives endangered.

MARKET DEMORALIzED
 WHEN NOTE ARRIVES
Bethlehem Leads Decline With Drop of Nine
 teen Points.

New York, May 5.-Wall Streets grave view of the German note was reflected in the dem moralized tone of the stock market at the opening to- day, active issues, particularly those comprising the war group, breaking three to six points, with nineteen for Bethlehem Steel.
 The tenor of the German reply was generally known before the market opened, the news tickers and other agencies having published many of it's essential features.
 Commission houses received count graph from out of town points.
 Brokers had numerous selling or ders and the course of the market at the opening denoted little support.
 The moro specific declines included Crucibe Steel, points; Lacka- wanna Steel 4; Studebaker 4 1-2; Anaconda 3 1-2; Industrial Alcohol 3 1-2; United States Smelling 1-2, and numerous 1 to } point declines elsewhere.
 United States Steel opened with 4,OOO shares at 80 1-2 to 81. against yesterdays close of S2 5S, and Marine preferred's initial sale com prised a block of $500 shares at 82 to 80, maximum decline of six points in the first fifteen minutes, but the markets undertone continued feverishly active.
 Further recoveries were made be- fore II o'clock, by which time eX- element had died down and trading was almost normal. Tn fact, leading stocks like United States Steel among the industrials and Union Pacific among the representative rails, were then only mere fractions under yesterdays close, while Read ing was actually above that quotation. Later excerpts of the German note were regarded as far more concilia - tory in tone than the early passag ges. Prominent bankers declined to comment upon the note pending de- velopnents at Washington

Accused of Discrimination.

Accused of Discrimination.
 Speaking of the influence of the United States to prevent breaches of international law on the part of the belligerents, the note says: But, as matters stand, the German people is under the impression that the gov ernment of the United States, while demanding that Germany, struggling g for existence, shall restrain the use of an effective weapon and while making compliance with these demands condition for maintenance of relations with Germany, confines itself to pro- tests against illegal methods adopted by Germany's enemies. Moreover, the German people knows to what considerable extent it's enemies are supplied with all kinds of war ma terial from the United States"
 Berlin automatically protests that it could not be held responsible TOT a break in relations with the United States, having done all in it's power to bring about peace in Europe ana having tried to live up to the prln- ciples of international law.
 The Concession.
 The concession spoken of consists of a new order to commanders Of naval vessels not to sink any merchant ship, within or without the war zone, be- fore giving warning, unless that ship attempts to escape or resists capture. Commanders are also notified to safe guard human life in so far as such is possible.

FRENCH SUCCESSES ARE
 BIGGER THAN REPORTED
Germans Thrown Back of Line Held By Them in
 March.

Paris, May 5, 12.15 a. m.-The French successes on the left bank of the Mouse have been of greater import ance than indicated by first reports, according to a semi official statement issued last night The French troops, by a skilfully prepared and brilliantly executed operation. have thrown back the Germans on the northwest side of Dead Man Hill beyond the line held at the beginning of March. The enemy has thus lost by a single stroke his gains painfully made by two months of continuous, costly attacks.
 Dead Man Hill has twin summi's known respectively as Hills Numbers 265 and 295 On the first of thesa the Germans had effected a footing but now have been completely cleared from hill No. 265.
 The Germans, surprised by the sud denness of the French attack, were thrown back in disorder and suffered exceptionally heavy losses particular 1y from the preliminary lombard ment The large number of Germans killed explains why so few prisoners were taken
 Paris, May 5. noon.-West of the Mouse the Germans yesterday eVenlEg strongly attacked the French positions north of Hill BOA. says the official statement issued this afternoon oy the French war office, but they were repulsed along the whole front at tackled, except in one or two points in the advanced trenches.
 An attempted attack on the tren- ches at Cappy, south of the Somme, the statement adds, completely failed.
 East of the Mouse and in the WoHV- re there was an intermittent bombard- ment.
 Otherwise the front was com mpar@- lively calm.

 Berlin Yards Closed
TROUBLE IS SPREADING
Shots Fired At Meeting In Open Lot, But Only For Pranl>s-May Close Industry Indefinitely, Unless Maj terS Are Soon Settled.

That the strike, which started in the Berlin brickyards yesterday aft ernoon will spread to large propor- tions, is the belief of a prominent manufacturer, as expressed this morn ing. With the closing down of tie Towers and Donnelly yards this morn ing, the principal industry of the town is now at a standstill. Up to the present, there has been so sign of violence, but the authorities are keeping a strict vigilance on the movements of the strikers The movement was inaugurated at the Stiles and Reynolds brick yard yes- terday morning shortly after Il , o'clock the men there throwing down

 This morning the strikers number ing about 200 gathered in front of the Kilby House and remained there until 8:45 when they started up the Beech Swamp road.
