GERARD WILL HAVE CONFERENCE WITH
 EMPEROR WILLIAM
(Continued from Page One)

no further advices from Berlin regard ing the submarine issue and that the situation remained unchanged. The German embassy also was said to be without information.
 Announcement in press dispatches from Berlin that Ambassador Gerard would confer with Emperor William at the army headquarters was regarded by officials as being significant. Off cial information on the subject was lacking but the opinion was freely ex- pressed that it was not at all unlikely that the Emperor might have in mind suppIementing Germany's reply to the American note demanding the imme- diate abandonment of present methods of submarine warfare with a personal contamination of some kind to Presi- dent Wilson.
 Ambassador Gerard in visiting the Emperor is not acting under instruc- tions received from Washington. Con- sequently officials assumed that the Emperor invited Mir. Gerard to con- fer with him. In both official and dip lomatic quarters the injection of the Elnperor's personality into the situa- tion was regarded as being hopeful indication.
 President Wilson expects to receive the German reply within the next few days. it became known today, although the basssfor his expectation was not re- vealed. Up to the present, in spite of messages from Berlin. he is entirely with out definite informa ton of the intentions or the German government.
 IS NOT AFFECTED
 The President, officials say, will not be influenced in the slightest by thousands of telegrams sent in the past few days to senators and representatives urging them not to approve any action which might lead to war. Ills course in the German situation will be guided entirely by the character of the German reply. Should any serious effort be made to embarrass him, it was declared authori- tatively, he again will go before Con- gress and demand that members go on record for or against his policy.
 Secretary Lansing announced that he had received from the British govern ment copy of the confidential instruc- tions to captains of British merchant ships, now said to be in operation The Secretary has not yet compared the Brit ish version of the instructions with the German version, which was submitted with the German declaration of intention to regard as warships enemy merchant ships carrying armament. It was said, however, that the British version ap- peared to be nearly if not wholly, iden- tical with that which was given out in London last February and cabled to the United States in press dispatches It was indicated that some statement might be issued later by the state department for the gudanceg of Americans travelling at sea.

SUFFs TO DEMONSTRATE

Washington, April 2-(Special.)-The suffragettes have announced that they will soon again demonstrate"
 The envoys, sent sometime ago through the free states of the west, will re- turn Tuesday. May 16 They will be met at the station by local suffragettes, com plimented with a luncheon, and later es- corted in triumph to the capitol
 There they will make public the peti- ton of western women praying that the Susan B. Anthony amendment be sub rnitted for ratification to the several states
 The suffra agettes, having attempted to intimidate the democratic party by threatening to throw their alleged A. 000C00 'throwable' votes to the repub- iican party, may be surprised in the na- ture of their reception.
 At any rate, the situation is interesting to several hundred thousand innocent bystanders'' in Washington.

 The charge is that he is a sufferer as q result of his democratic faith. At any rate, the story, in human interest way is one of many clements of heart inter- est.
 Some years ago Mrs. McBiair. then Miss Key, having lost all her worldly goods. came to Washington hunting work. Pres ident Mckinley secured her position Tn the department of agriculture. Later President Roosevelt, learning that MISS Key was deeply interested in her cousin. MT. McBlair induced Attorney General Bonaparte to employ that young gentle man in the capacity of special assistant attorney. He was soon promoted and placed on the permanent roll. As re- suit of the promotion, MT McBlair and the granddaughter of Francis Scott Key were married
 When Taft succeeded Roosevelt and Wickersham succeeded Bonaparte, the clouds gathered over the home of the McCla:rs. The new Attorney General. without specific reason-and possibly be- cause McBlair was an intrepid democrat disposed of his services. Up to the pres- ent time MT. Wilson, despite the impor- tunities of many prominent people and several patriotic societies, has done noth- ing to rectify the wrong of another ad- minstratiOn.
 It is said, however. that better day will soon be coming.

outlook led the people to believe that
by fall conditions would be greatly
improved, But instead OF becoming
more plentiful. food supplies are be-
coming more and more organized un-
I'll within short time, II the distri-
button Of cards is continued. food will
be on an absolute ration basis.
Though the crops were good this
year. there will be probably so much
organization that food will spoil" i"
said one critical German.
At present each family is entitled
to eight different kinds of food cards.
They are for bread, potatoes. sugar.
fats. milk. meat. eggs and one for
certain dried vegetables. saccharine
and oat meal Because OF the grow
ing shortage OF marmalade and
cheese, two more cards may be added
to the list.
The lack OF sugar, tin and rubber
have prevented many families from
doing their own canning and have
had big effect on the canning fac
tories. The factories are using sac
charine and a syrup made from car
rots for sweetening. Because OF the
shortage OF tin, many factories are
drying food heretofore canned. Fam
lilies that forgot TO save rubber bands
from last years fruit jars discovered
that their fruit was doomed to spoil
this year.
This years harvest was about %
per cent better than last years, max
ing it a normal peace-time harvest
But because of the necessity OF ere
ating a surplus in case next years
harvest is not so good. no more wheat
and oats will be available for present
consumption than in the past few
months, according to present plans.
The socialists and some OF the
newspapers are beginning to criticize
the food department.
Because Of a growing shortage OF
milk, new regulations have been post
ed whereby milk is to be delivered TO
families with children under ten. and
to sick people. Special milk cards
are given to families showing birth
certificates OF their children, each
child receiving one liter IA little over
a quartz day.
