be no further debate, but, lnste"u,
there will be an abrupt severance u
diplomatic relations.
The remainder of the note--that Is
Germany's reiterated complaints
against the British starvation block
ade-is obviously intended to satlsiy
public sentiment in Germany. inc
Berlin Government has a natlona'
opinion of its own to deal with. 100
complete q surrender to the United
States might have aroused that opln-
ion to a serious degree, and to pre-
vent such a situation, Germany mas
again indulged in bitter protests
the British blockade policy. +
With full knowledge of this az
titude, Germany has not conditioned
her concessions upon the idea that
the United States would agree to COM
pel q removal of the British bloc-
ade against the Central Powers All
that a careful reading of the note
shows IS that Germany hopes that
the United States will move for
modification of the blockade lin con-
sequence of the new orders issued
to the submarine commanders and not
as a condition of the issuance OF
those orders.
One other phrase of the note seems
to have deep significance. That is the
statement of the Berlin Government
to the effect that twice within re-
cent months it has indicated a will
ingness to discuss terms of peace, and
therefore it would deplore any event
Threatening maintenance OF peace
between the two nations.
Germany, it is believed, considered
this section of the note very careful
ly and, embodied in it the idea that
peace was still matter about which
she is willing to confer. Moreover,
the Germans apparently realize that
it would be difficult to promote peace
negotiations with another power1ur
enemy arrayed against them, to say
nothing of the influence of break
with America upon other neutrals.

Demands Of the United
States Yielded to by
Kaiser
ORDERS FOR U-BoATs Y
Merchant Craft Will not be Sunk
Without Warning, is Assurance
Given by Teutons

Given by Teutons
President Wilson is declared Of
good authority to have practically
made up his mind to accept Ger,
many's note as its face value.
Washington, May c. President
Wilson has before him the official
text of the German reply to the Am
erican submarine demands.
A careful study of the press YER
sion of the note is understood to have
convinced the President and his adj
visers that the essential features OF
the demands have been met and an
open break averted.
This much stands out boldly IN the
unofficial text Of the German note re-
ceived in Washington yesterday and
examined for more than two hours
by the President and his Cabinet.
The rest may be more or less obscur-
ed by collateral issues, but the one
big fact remains that the German
Government has agreed to abide by
,ho law of nations rs laid down by the
United States.
Whether the assurances given Ill
this note prove satisfactory to the
President and his advisers remains to
hc seen. No official opinion has been
Given. upon that point and none rs
promised until the official copy OF
the note has been received and the
full measure of the German surren-
der determined.
At all events, no immediate break
with Germany is imminent. lhat
much is absolutely all that can be
stated with certainty. Time Will be
taken to consider the note and to
see lust how nearly it squares with
the ultimatum which the President
forwarded to Berlin more than TWO
weeks ago. All doubtful points vii!
have to be. cleared up, and this may
necessitate further communication
with Germany, just as the exact mean
ing of some phases of our demand
were informally explained days after
it's dispatch.
Only the most venturesome are
willing to hazard prophecy as to the
German answer, but it is predicted
that the note will be accepted at
exactly it's face value and that the
future course of the President viii
be fixed more upon a basis of what
German submarines may do than upor
what German officials may say.
In other words, the responsibility
for future relations between the two
governments rests upon the actor
of undersea boats rather. than upor
the written assurances as to thell
behavior. If no more merchantme'
are illegally sunk there will be NJ
further conflict between Germany ant
the United States. Action and no
pledges will be the mark OF goo'
faith.
: The reasons to be offered why thi
will be the decision of the Presiden
are perfectly plain. In the first plac
all that was expected of Germany wa
an abandonment of submarine war
fare that violated the laws of ma
tions. Germany announces that sh
has abandoned such assaults and ha
quoted the order to that end. In tn
second place, we demand that tn
abandonment be effected" not mere
" promised. Germany states that
has been effected.
1t now remains to be seen whetf
err the note means what it says.

COST OF ICE NOT
 TO INCREASE HERE
Manager Thurman LOuthan of Pine Bluff Delivery Company Says No
 Increase Contemplated.

"There has been no increase in the cost of ice here, and there is no in crease in prospect" said Thurman Louthan, manager of the Pine Bluff Delivery company, yesterday, during conversation over the increases put into effect in number of cities and towns in this section. .,;;
 Memphis, Little Rock, Meridian, Miss, and quite a number of other cities have been called upon within the past week or ten days to pay more for ice than has been the case for some time past, and in some of the; towns there has been considerable objection. *a.: ' We have not considered making any increase here," said Mir. Lo,ithan "This City has two ice ,plants now in operation, neither working to it's full capacity, and ought to have. no ice troubles this summer. Ice, it might be remembered. is oife of the very Few necessities which has not fncreased in cost here,. natural gas, which we use, as fuel at our plants, having been. the latest to~move up in cost."s ...e
 Pine ,.B1uf< people pay from .25ss to 40 cents per 100 pounds for ice, based on the quantity purchased at one de livery. The ordinary consumer pays 40 cents per 1000 pounds, for the ice delivered at his home, in small Quan- titles, which arrangement is general ly considered fair and satisfactory.
