gTess, declared that Germany would
never yield to U. S., preferring to
face another enemy without than an
internal crisis in Reichstag.
The VOssesche Zeitung assured it's
readers that there was no serious
danger of a break whatever Pres.
Wilson's personal views, since he
could take no decisive step without
approval of American congress,
which was opposed to any action
that might lead to war.
Germany will never yield to Amer
lea because Of Pres. Wilson's bluff"
said Count Won ReventlOw, the Ger

wooden one"

Beilin( May New instructions,
emphatic and clear, are to be issued
by the German government to the
commanders of all Teutonic subma-
rines in regard to attacking ships.
This was officially announced and,
while the nature of the instructions
is kept a secret for the present, it is
believed in diplomatic circles they will
modify those under which the com
manders now are acting.
Berlin, May Anew instructions
ment from Berlin that new and def
mite instructions are to be given to
German submarine commanders is the
first positive indication Of how Ger
many will attempt TO meet President
Wilson's final demand that it declare
and effect an abandonment of the
present method of submarine warfare.
Whether the new instructions will
meet the terms OF the last American
note and thus prevent a break in
diplomatic relations can only be de-
termined by a close and careful ex-
animation
President Wilson Is represented by
those closest about him as unshaken
in his determination that the issue is
not negotiable and that a settlement
cannot be delayed by discussion of
side issues.
With a declaration that new orders
have been given and evidence that
they will be carried out in good faith
the president Is willing to discuss the
conduct Of submarine warfare, but
only on that basis
