NEW YORK YOUTH IN
 EXPLOSION ABOARD
 HIS FATHERS CRUISER

Thomas 4J. Falls. Sd, son of Thomas J. Falls, prominent New York attor- new, was burned yesterday in an ex- plosien and fire which destroyed the motor cruiser "Kowtaw.'' The fire oc- erred at Fort Trurnbull beach just off the Falls summer ome and near the club house of the Milfords Yacht club. The .sKowtaw' was the fat1 hip of the yacht club. Thomas J. Falls, ST., is the commodore. Young Falls, who is 15, with a boy companion, Thur land Chattaway, and a negro boatman was about to start out for a sail on the Sound.
 Falls operated the seIf-starting de- vice of the motor and an explosion followed by a fire occurred. The boys with the boatman tried for time to quench, the flames by dipping water and throwing it on the blaze but all to no purpose. At length the fire made such headway that they were obliged to abandon the boat and row ashore in a small boat. The burning cruiser drifted toward shore and for a time the fire threatened two garages situated close by. The chemical ap- paratus of the Milford fire department

Comment in Paris

May 8-The French press subjects the German note to the United States
 to severe analysis. drawing varying 1 criticisms from it. Some newsph- 1 pers consider that Germany has l yielded although with bad grace. 9th lers believe the document is a. tortuous refusal.
 The Petit Journal, the newspaper of stephen Pfchon,. former foreign min ister says. Germany certainly makes I a concession on the essential point in regard to the sinking of vessels without warning, but in the next breath, seeks to make capital out of that concession by asking the United States to enforce respect for liberty 1 of the seas. This means in Substance, I the newspaper says. that the suppress sion or at least attentuation of the l Blockade from which the German people are suffering more and more. The Petit Parisien says the note
 contains little that is new.
 The Matins heads it's comment, tsBlachmaiI.'' It says:
 gro judge properly the inpudence of the reply it must. be remembered
 President Wilson declared in Con gress that he was in the position of Spokesman of Neutrals and of civiliz- ! ed humanity He has never in any degree admitted there could exist con-
 nection .betweep lawful restrictions on enemy commerce and assassination of offensive passengers.
 t'It; is for the American govern ment to judge whether Germany has made any concessions as she pretends or whether she has not. pushed cyni- cism and hypocrisy to the extreme nnnits.''
 The Journal says the concession made by Germany is hedged dn with reservations and conditions which in IGernany's calculations constitute
 ground for further conversations even if rejected. It asks whether President 1 Wilson will not be obliged to send another note to reject these condi- tions.
 Germany gives up nothing, the Figaro says, and even carries her ar rogance so far as to formulate her refusal in language which certainly will not fail to be appreciated at Washington.
 The opinion is expressed by the Gaulois that the German reply does not necessarily imply rupture since lit gives immediate satisfaction to America; but on the other hand it "opens the way for fresh discussions 1 of conditions imposed by Germany, This newspaper asks whether Ameri- Ican opinion wiN consent to continua,- ton of the debate on this subject.

GERMAN PAPERS
 ARE SILENT ON
 REPLY 70 U. s.

Berlin. May S-The text of the German reply to the American note was printed in extra editions of the newspapers but caused hardly a. rip plefof excitement No crowds gather ed around the newspaper offices and there was marked calmness.
 Restraint was shown in the limit ed comment on the note in the papers Even Count Von Reventlow, usually a. caustic critic of German-Arne nerican relations -dispOseS of the matter with a single line referring his readers to previous editorials for his opinion.
 The Kreuse Zeitung also declined to criticise and contented itself with referring to previous discussions on the issue in question.
 On the wholey the German press appears satisfied with the tenor of the reply from Berlin, although there are indications. that the attitude of the newspapers is not wholly uninspired.
 The Vossische Zeitung, one of the few papers to comment at length on the German reply says:
 '7The note is inspired by a sincere wish to avoid break with the Unit ed States. The government, in ig- noring the tone of President Wilson S note has gone straight toytI1e point wherein there is possibility of an attempt by offering to conduct the submarine campaign within the linn it's of ante-bel1um international law. This is the last and the ,furthest con cession that Germany can make and should the expectation that England be now required to return to the same basis of international law be derived, !, the government reserves full liberty of action
 The Taegliche Rundschau, while expressing the opinion that the note should have taken a. different charac- ter, urges that the expression of di- vergent views is unwarranted at this moment and everybody should sub ordinate his own Judgment and stand behind the government.
 After Germany has undertaken this doubly difficult sacrifice,' says this paper s.Germans are entitled to expect America to keep her promise to restore the freedom of the Seas against all belligerents.'
 The Berlin Tageblatt contents it. self with summarizing the main points of the note and expressing the hope that it will attain it's aim in preventing war with America.
