The German government will only
state it has imposed far reaching re-
straints upon the use of the submarine
weapon, solely in consideration of neu-
trails interests Ind in spite OF the fact
that these restrictions are necessarily
of advantage to Germany's enemies. No
such consideration has ever been shown

allies.
Made Proposals to U. s.
The German government has made
several proposals to the government of
the United States in order to reduce to
a minimum for -,.meriean travellers and
goods the inherent dangers of naval
warfare. Unfortunately, the govern
ment the United States has decided
not to accept these proposals. Had 1t
accepted, the government of the United
States would have heen instrumental in
preventing greater part of the acci-
dents that American citizens have met
with in the meantime.
THE German overnment still stands
by its offer to come to an agreement
along these lines.
AS the German government has re-
peatedly declared. it cannot dispense
with the use of the submarine weapon
in the conduct of its warfara against
enemy trade. The German government.

No Action Will Be Taken Until Official
Copy Is Received and Studied Gen.
eral Tone Creates a Very Unfayor-
able Impression

Washington, May 5.-The press copy Of the German
reply to the latest American note placed before the
cabinet today The first impression of the full text did
not much relieve the unfavorabe impression created by
the opening portions, although it admitted the
instructions to submarine commanders would be weighed
and considered before their acceptabty to the United
States would be determined.
One of the chief points for consideration seemed to be
Germanys reference to immunity of merchant vessels
recognized by international law This regarded
having possibilities Of relating to the dispute ques
ons of armament and the alleged instructions of the Brit
sh admiralty to merchant captains to attack submarines
No action will be taken until the official text of the note
arrives and has been studied President Wilson has al
ready discussed with the cabinet steps to be taken
the note is found unsatisfactory. The official text
pected by Sunday, the anniversary Of the sinking of
the Lusitania.
After the press copy of the German note was read two
views current in official circles One that Ger
many had declared her intention of abandoning her pres
methods of submarine warfare demanded by the
president and that the United States might have to wait
whether the abandonment would be effected. The
other that the United States having already attempt
ed to have Great Britain give up its interference with
neutral and having told Germany that it
not discuss with her it's negotiations with Great Britain,
has but to break diplomatic relations with Ger
many.
While the general tone Of the German note created
unfavorable impression officials took the view that the
language immaterial if the guarantees were real
Germanys declaration that she had issued orders to
submarine commanders not to attack without warning
merchant vessels recognized by international law
considered the chief point.
The cabinet was in session for over two hours the long
est meeting in months Cabinet members
mnicative saying steps would be taken until the Off
ca text before the president The private view OF
officials apparently that the orders to submarines
commanders apparently met the demands of the United
States unless the Interpretation placed them lead to
attacks merchant vessels armed for defensive purposes
The general tenor of the German note however con-
sdered unsatisfactory AS members left the White
House several indicated that the United States would have
to wait and see whether the orders to submarine
manders were carried out
