CABINET MEETS

WASHINGTON, May 5-Within ten minutes after the final and vital paragraphs of the German reply had reached Washington President Wilson and the members of the cabinet met to take the communication under con sderaton The administration had been getting the re- ply piecemea from the wires and for time 1t looked as if Germany had decided to refuse everything. All the members of the cabinet far as they have permitted themselves to express their views seem to be agreed that Germany has conceded all that this government demanded but there was some show of uncertainty because cond
 ons were mentioned The sudden transition in the re- ply from sarcastic and contentious tone to tone of con- cesson left the cabinet somewhat confused as to the real disposition of Germany The general opinion in the cabi net however seemed to be that the matter is closed at least for the time being.
