WOULD MAKE CONCESSIONS

Washington, April 25.-A report
from Ambassador Gerard at Berlin
outlining the results of his confer
ence yesterday with DR. Won Bethmann
Hollweg, the German chancellor, over
the American note was expected at
the state department today. 1t was
expected that the ambassador would
shed further light on the attitude of
the German government regarding
Americas demand in the submarine
controversy.
Mr.. Gerard is understood to have
already represented that strong po-
litical influences are at work in Ger
many to prevent a rupture between
the two nations. Labor leaders and
Socialists were represented as being
particularly adverse to a severance of
diplomatic relations. The ambassador
is said also to have reported that there
were strong indications of Germany's
willingness to make some concessions.
Whether the concessions will be broad
enough to meet the American demand
is problematical.
Long Conference Held.
The fact that the ambassador and
the chancellor conferred at some
length was pointed to here as a hope
full sign. If Germany was not dis
posed to meet the demands of the
United States, it was believed that
there would have been no lengthy
discussion

Parade and Features Scheduled
for Tomorrow.

On account of the weather. the
opening game of the Western league
baseball season here today between
the Savages and the Denver club was
called off shortly before noon.
The Santa Fe, the banks, mortga sc
companies and all the local firms that
had agreed to close for this afternoon
announced that they would do the
same thing tomorrow.
Tomorrows game will be called
promptly at o'clock. and every fea-
ture of the program planned for to-

parade.
Make Crowd Bigger.
The announcement of the postpone
ment came just in time to allow the
business houses and the Santa Ee 20
make their arrangements so that they
would allow their forces to be away
tomorrow afternoon instead of today.
And, in as much as the Savages were
rained into financial losses at st.
Joseph, a movement was started early
this afternoon to make tomorrow )
crowd bigger than todays would hava
been under the most favorable cIf-
curnstances.
By tonight it will be known Just
how large the crowds were in Wich-
ita and Omaha if the opening games
were played in these two cities, and
there is a determination to out do the
attendance in these two places, even
II the local boosters have to impo.t
spectators.
None of the players were allowed on
the diamond this afternoon after it
cleared up. as it was thought more
essential to keep the playing field in
good condition for tomorrow than to
give the men what little practice they
could get.
All tickets that were bought for to-

nal will apply on the attendance to-
