The pretended concession Is a sham
intended to trap us into n conflict with
Great Britain. This Is the game that
has from the beginning been consistently
tried by the German Government, hut
which our state Department has om-
phatically %repudiated throughout the

COUDERT SAYS U. s.
DEMAND is NOT met
"Prctcndpd Concession a sham
Intended to Trap Us Into
Conflict With Britain"
rs \ MERE REITERATlON'

The following statement was issued
Yesterday on the German note by Fred
eric Il. Coudert.
1t makes no substantial concession, but
merely ysiterates contentious already
raised and disposed u by the United
states Government.
In the note of the United States of
Nprll 10, 1915. the position originally
taken by the Executive after the de-
strnction of tho Lusitania was reiter.
Ited. to wit:
The usc of submarines for dcstruc-
;iun of enemy 5 IN is of necessity.
because 81 the very character OF the
vessels employed and the very methods
of attack which their employment. OF
course. involves. utterly Incompatible
With IN" principles of humanity. the long
established and inccntroverti bic rights
OF ututrals, and the sacred immunities
Of nun-Coinbatants.' .
The position of the United States OF
this point Is unanswerablo and has not
been met by Germany.
No real concession IL made In tho
note. since mere warning is utterly in
suftC.ent. as was so hideously manifested
IN the case ~ the Ancona and Others.
The mere possibility ~ escaping in small
boats. which is the best that the present
Germ IN orders 20 submarine commanders
oTer Is utterly and wholly inadequate.

New York, May 3O.-DeleASa es. alternates and visitors attending 41SS sS < thirteenth biennial convention of t General Federation of Women's clubs in this city observed Memorial Day by holding one of the busiest sessions of the convention.
 The nominating committee report ed the official slate and after an ad- dress by Governor Whitman, as was predicted, Mrs. Josiah Cowles and Mrs. Samuel B. Sheath of Tiffin, Ohio, were the only candidates for the presi- dency. There also are to be contests for recording secretary, treasurer and auditor.

GERMANS RECORD IMPORTANT GAIN
 NEAR DEAD MAN Capture Section of French Trench About Two Miles
 Long. 1913 FRENCHMEN
 MADE PRISONERS Austrlans Begin Another Attack in the Posina Region of Italy, and Are Bombarding Italian Positions in
 Lagrina Valley.

1 London, May 3O.-French positions on front of approximately two miles ] extending fro mthe southern ridge o1 1 the Le Mort Homme to the Cumieres village northwest of Verdun, have | been captured by the Germans, ac. cording to the latest official comnun. ication from Berlin.
 In addition, the Germans again have pressed forward in the Thaumont wood, northeast of Verdun, and add ed to their line in the eastern part of it.
 These gains, made during the light ing of Monday, have been in part ad- mitted by Paris, which has reported the loss of 300 meters of advanced trenches northwest of Cumieres and the retirement from similar positions to the south of the road, between Bethincourt and Cumieres.
 Berlin says the Germans captured 1913 prisoners, including several staff officers.
