Washington. May 5.-Within ~ MN

Washington, President Wilson ana ms
cabinet met to consider the communica-
ton. 80
The cabinet members had been get
ting the reply piecemeal from the
wires. The conference was wlth one
apparent thought-Germany has con
ceded the demands but there was some
show Of uncertainty because eondltloha
are made.
The sudden transition of the reply
from sarcastic, contentious tohei pc
lGttling the United States attitude, To-
flat statements that met practically all
concessions called for by the govern
ment. left the cabinet officers some
what confused,
The general disposition seemed TO DO

tically closed for the time being
The fact that Germany requires
Great Britain TO cease operations she
terms contrary to international law was
expected. and at first blush otflciais
inclined to the request that America
undertake to bring about such change
as may be justifiable.
1t was pointed out that Germany
has issued an order that meets the Am
erican contentious.
If Germany later because the Umteo

Berlin, May 5-That Germany yielded practically
every demand made in the United States submarine note
was conceded in the German reply made public here
Every possibility of break is apparently averted
Germanys complete backdown was made conditional
on the success of efforts it urges America to make to
force Great Britain to observe fully the principles of in
teInatOna law
Germany fully comedies President Wilson'S contention
that in the future no merchantmen whether freight or
passenger liners shall be sunk without warning, either
within or without the war zone around the British Isles
unless they resist or attempt to escape. Wilson has al
ready conceded the German right to sink ships under such
conditions.
Submarine commanders have already received new
orders meeting fully the demands made. The government
expresses implicit confidence that these orders will be ex-
The Lokal Anzeiger said today: eve hope that the
sense of the justice Of the Americans will be satisfied with

cause The German standpoint cannot be criticised be-
cause it is based on principles Of international law and

Market Breaks al Opening
But Soon Recovered

New York May 5.-The New York
Evening Suns financial review today
said:
The market rendered good account
of itself when subjected to a severe test
on the reply to the American ultimatum,
reply which many think will result
in severance of diplomatic relations,
though on that point none can speak
with assurance. 1t broke sharply at the
opening, from a fraction to 10 points
lower on Bethlehem, but opening prices
were the lowest of the day to late aft
ernoon, in most instances, and after
brief period of semi decentralization
recovered. The moss conspicuous pool
and clique specialties regained all their
early losses and something in addition.
Business was conducted on a large scale
in the forenoon and liquidation was
heavy forcing a stop to loss orders. But
it quieted down as the session progress
ed While it remains to be seen wheth-
er the verdict of the speculative ele-
ment is reduced by the community in
general, there is no doubt that the OPP
position standard issues offer to forces
of contraction indicate a stronger tech.

an enemy resorting to all kinds of
ruses, whether permissible or illicit.
But apart from the possibility of err
rors, naval warfare, just like land war
fare implies unavoidable dangers, for
neutral persons and goods entering the
4 fighting zone. Even in cases where
naval action is confined to ordinary
forms of cruiser warfare neutral per-
sons and goods repeatedly come to
grief. The German government has
repeatedly aud explicitlp pointed out
the dangers from mines as they have
led to the loss of numerous ships. The
German government made several pro,
pOsals to the government of the United
States in order to reduce to a mini
mum for American travellers and goods
the inherent dangers of naval warfare.
/ Unfortunately, the government of the
United States decided not to accept the
proposals. Had it accepted, the govern
/ meat of the United States would nave
been instrumental in preventing the
greater part of the accidents that

still stands bv its OFFER TO come 10 an
