GERARD'S VISIT
70 THE KAISER
IS GOOD OMEN
Washington Regards Incl
dent as Forerunner of
Favorable Reply.

Washington, April 2S.-The visit Of
Ambassador Gerard to German, army
headquarters at the personal invita-
ton of Emperor William, was regard
ed in Washington today as the fore
runner of a favorable reply to the
American submarine demand.
Secretary Lansing confirmed the
report that Mr.. Gerard had gone to
the front to meet the emperor. He
said Mr.. Gerard gave no details.
President Wilson and the cabinet
today discussed the submarine situa-
ton in general, with particular ref
erence to the armed merchantmen"
phase of the question, which was
brought to the fore by Mr.. Lansing's
recent memorandum on the subject.
There is reason to believe Germany
will agree with the main contentious
set forth by Mr.. Lansing, as regards
the status OF armed vessels. It is not
known definitely, however, how far
Germany will go to accept Mr.. Lam
sings definition which he reiterated
with warmth today, that a merchant
man could act as it pleased, provid-
ing it took the consequences.
The state department received con-
sular dispatches today reporting the
sinking of the British steamer Trig-
anpel by submarine torpedo and
of the Norwegian bark Carmenian by
submarine gunfire. 1t was not re-
ported that Americans were aboard
of either boat.

SWISS IRE AROUSED.
Indignation Follows Appearance OF
German Plane.

Rerne, via Paris, April 2S.-The
flight of a German aeroplane over
Swiss territory near Porentruy We'd
nesday, occurring so soon after prev
ious flights over the same territory,
has provoked the strongest indigna-
ton in Switzerland.
The semi-official Bund says the
time has come to demand from Ger
many something more than express
sions of regret or excuses.
The Journal de Geneva points out
that this is the thirteenth incident of
the kind, and that the German min
lister gave solemn assurance last Aug
ust that there would be no further
violation. The newspaper describes
the flight over Switzerland as insult
ing disregard of federal authority.

French Believe End Is Near.

Paris, April 2s.-Opinion is divided
here regarding the next move of the
kaiser's armies.
"rhe feigned attacks at Verdun yes
terday are an indication that the Ger
man blow is spent" says the Echo de
Paris. General Petain is complete
master of the situation and though
the Germans are likely to continue
sporadic activity, designed to hasten
our reserves in the Verdun regions,
attacks against the British front may
notw be expected. though it is likely
the heaviest blow will be against Riga
by land and sea, with an advance on
Dvinsk.'
Joseph Reinach. the official war
historian. says:
"The German army is still strong,
but it's command is weakening. The
staff does not know which way to
turn. That the end is approaching. is
evident from several unmistakable
signs"

London, April 2S.-There is more
bad news from Kut-el-Amara and the

for another doleful task that of dis
closing to the public the full extent

Tonight the following curt but signif-
cant official statement was given out &:
An attempt made on the night of
April "a to send a ship with supplies
for the Anglo-Indian forces shut up
in kutel-Amara, though carried out
with the utmost gallantry, untortu
nately failed. Our aeroplanes discov-
cred the ship aground near Nagasis,
about four miles east Of Kut-cl-
Amara."
Behind this carefully dried rel.ort
lies the ominous fact that Gen. Town
shend has now been bcleaguered in
Kut-el-Amara for 145 days, that the
place is a pest hole Of marshes, and
that no one here seems to know NOW
many men are left of the bottled-up
forces. When General Townshend
last November reached Ctesiphon, IS
miles from Bagdad, in his effort to
safeguard the Tigris valley gate to
India, he is reported to have had be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 men.
