Berlin, April 26.-Imperial Chancel-
lor Won Bethmann-Hollweg and Ad-
miral Won HoltzendOrff arrived today
mt Kaiser Wilhelm IS field headquarters
for an all important conference con
cerning the crisis in German-American
relations Won Hollweg is expected back
in Berlin by the weekend, perhaps
with a rough draft of the German reply
to American submarine demands.
The split in newspaper ranks over
the submarine issue was more pro-
nounced today The Vossiche Zeitung
led that portion of the press urging
the presentation of friendly relations
with the United States.
On the other hand Count ReventlOw
in his writings demanded that no furth-
er coicessions be made, arguing that il
war results from this stand and the
United States seized interned German
ships, the German victory will more
than restore these losses. If beaten in
the war, Reventlow argued that Ger

ing them is most serious obstacle in
the path of an amicable settlement OF
the German.American dispute, the Uni
ted Press learned today on good auth
ority. Other points at issue may be
disposed Of without danger of a diplo
matte rupture. But strong opposition
is felt to safeguarding the crews Of
frcighters, since practically every en-
emy freighter is engaged almost solely
in carrying munitions to the allies
There is growing feeling, however
that there will be no German American
break. 1t is still too early to say thai
the crisis has passed. The situation
apparently depends upon the firmnes
of President Wilson s stand. Matter
are awaiting Imperial Chancellor VoI
Bethmann-H Hollweg's return from hi
second conference with the kaiser. H,
has reported to the kaiser his converse
tion of Monday with Ambassador Ger
ard, in which he sought to learn th'
exact conditions with which German,
must comply in order to satisfy tn
president.
Prominent Germans talked with voi
Hollweg after his conference with Ger
ard, and one of the most distinguished
said later that the best German force
were attempting to reach satisfactor,
understanding and that they would b
successful unless Washington weighe
Germany's position too lightly.

Washington, April 2G-Warning is
to be issued to Americans to refrain
from travelling on certain armed ships
as soon as the administration learns
what vessels are under mandatory or
ders from the allied governments, 1t was
learned today.
The state department asked the allies
to reveal what orders had been issued
to armed vessels. If these orders carry
a penalty for disobedience or are man
datory in any sense to the ships com
manders, the government plans to no
tify Americans and warning them they
are not immeune if they are travelling
on such craft.
These facts were revealed at the state
department apropos Of the sentence in
the armed liner memorandum which
read: "Any person taking passage on
such u vessel cannot expect immunity
other than that accorded persons who
are aboard a warship, -
Americans leaving American ports
aboard armed liners win be warned II
the government considers the vessels il
legally armed. The state department
is awaiting official copies of the Bri-
tish admiralty orders. If not forth
coming, it was intimated the govern
ment might issue stringent port regula-
tions with regard to armed ships.

Dolly Twins Are
Charming Washingtonians

Every one at all familiar with con-
temporary stage history knows that
the Dolly Twins can dance more ex-
quisltely than anybody of the stage
and act with a charm and piduancy
that is altogether foreign to the
American artist. Also that they are
beautifully alike and alike beautifully
His Bridal Night in which they are
appearing at the BeIasco Theater is
especially adapted to meet these va
riOus and delightful requirements of
the twin sisters.
The story has to do with a young
man who, on his bridal night, dis
covers that he cannot tell his wife
from her beautiful twin sister. He is
in love with one, one loves him, but
he doesn't know which he has married
and whether he has married the right
one. Both sisters have reasons for
claiming to be his wife, and a mix-up
results which, because of the striking
similarity of the Dolly sisters, affords
considerable amusement. An unusual
climax is built up, in which the Dolly
sisters are given a logical opportunity
TO include their famous dancing, and
this is followed by a denouement full
Of surprises to the very end. The cast
includes besides the Dolly sisters such
famous players as Lucille Watson,
Jessie Ralph. Frank Thomas. John
Westley and Harry Lilford.

remainder of the week with Saturday
