BRITISH FLEET SHIFTED
TO INTERCEPT RAIDERS
BalfOur Tells of New Measures
to Protect Southeast Coast.

London, May "a. ]. Balfour, First
Lord Of the Admiralty, foreshadows in
a published letter changes in the dis
position of Great Britain's naval forces
TO meet German raiding squsdrons.
Mr.. Balfour says: "The Germans have
made their last raid. because, having
duped the Irish rebels to their destruc-
tion by the promise Of serious at
tack on Great Britain, they made a
show of fulfilling their engagement by
bombarding Lowestoft and Yarmous IN
for thirty minutes.
an the earlier stages Of the war
strategy kept our battle feet in more
northern waters. But our maritime
position has now improved. The sub
marine portion Of the Grand Fleet rs
now available in growing numbers for
coast defence, and-which is even more
important-the increase in the strength
of the Grand Fleet itself will enable
us TO bring important forces TO the
south without impairing any naval pre-
ponderance elsewhere"

French Press Regards
Note "Dignihed Rebuke"

Paris, May 9.-The American reply to
the German note is given marked
prominence in all the French papers.
Editorials and headlines treat it as
"a dgnified and decisive rebuke,"
which accepts all Germany offers and
declines to renew the blockade issue
with Great Britain.
The journal des Dcbats," however,
is somewhat critical on the prolonged
note writing.

Lusitania Case Up Again.
Secretary Lansing expects 10 resume
negotiations for the settlement of the
Lusitania case with Count Won Bern
storif within a short tine. The parleys
were broken Off early in February be-
cause Of the issuance of the German
memorandum announcing policy of
ruthless submarine war on armed mer-
chantmen, which was held TO invalidate
previous assurances. At that time the
two governments were substantially in
accord as TO the form of words" that
would satisfy President Wilson's de-
mand for a disavowal Of the Lusitania
massacre.
By the terms Of that agreement,
which was all but contaminated, Ger
many recognized liability" for in

stroyed one year ago last Sunday. This
admission was held by President Wilson

The German government declared
that literal disavowal was impossible,
as the destruction of the Lusitania was
in accordance with its orders and had
been justified publicly in the German
notes.

Il is expected also that the Falaba,

TO Germany is regarded as "rgrettable"
in German quarters here, but at the
same time the incident" is declared to

there will be no more notes nor oc-
casion for them.
The Presidents statement that he
acted from motives of friendship" is
healing phrase. The "rgrettable"
part to the Germans is that President
Wilson felt obliged to "call Germany's
bluff" which, they say, was intended
purely for home consumption. The
Kaiser's announcement that he would
reserve complete liberty of decision"
in case Great Britain declined 20 relax
the starvation blockade Of Germany
was only thrown in. it is said, to make
Germany's complete backdown pslatable

dent Wilson has spoiled it all by strik-
ing it out.
Among prominent Germans here Il is
said that there will be no more sub
marine outrages, and that there would
have been none even if President Will
son had not sent his note of yesterday.
IL is plainly indicated that there is no
length TO which Germany will not go to
preserve peace with the United States.

French Newspapers Treat the
Reply as "Dignified and

London, May 10.-"The Daily News,
in an editorial under the caption "The
Kaiser's Dilemma" finds President Will
sons reply TO the German note at once
skilful and firm. Read strictly, "The
News" considers, the German promise
virtually puts the submarine out Of

warning of an attack, the submarine
runs tho risk Of disaster, and il can
not take the crew or passengers of its
victims on board or convoy a prize
to a German port, because there is no

There Is the further consideration
that Germany may decide to resume
her submarine campaign, and, If it
fails, use the addition Of the United
States to the ranks Of her enemies as
reason for confessing defeat before

best, this policy would give her a start

THE Westminster Gazette" remarked
last night that the German concession
agreeing to adapt methods Of subms-
ting off of this discussion makes fur
trails was not in conformity with Pres
ident Wilson's demand, which required
the abandonment of submarine warfare
against passenger and carrying
vessels presumably of all nationalities.
II also pointed out that, although Pres

policy of Germany having been "happi-
ly abandoned" the Cymric had been

SAY KAISER MADE
PLEA TO WILSON
London Reports Give De-
tails of Alleged Personal
Letter to President.
-By Cahle 70 Tie Tribune ]

London, May 10.-"There is no doubt
whatever" says THE Daily Telegraph,
that during the last few days a def
mite attempt has been made by the
German government to impress neu-
trails with its strong desire for peace,
with a view TO inducing them to come
forward as medators and break up the
alliance of its enemies by getting one
of them TO conclude a separate peace.
For the present IL would not serve
any useful purpose TO disclose the facts
in their entirety. but il can be said
that the Kaiser has personally sent a
letter TO President Wilson in which,
appealing 70 him as the greatest neu-
trail authority, he eXpatiates on the ne
cessity of urging the Western powers
not to prolong indefinitely what seems
to him their "quite useless efforts of
revenge"
Moreover in the capitals of several
of the neutral countries the German
representatives have been particularly
insistent in their assurances that II
given a fair chance Germany would do
her best to conciliate her present OPP
ponents. According TO the best inform
ed opinions this most recent attempt
of the Kaiser's diplomacy, besides its
apparent aim. namely. the conclusion
Of an early peace Of which the idea can
not be entertained by the Allied powers,
ahdther aim and far more real one,
namely, to make President Wilson
realize the glorious and by no means
unuseful part which is in store for him
if he can wait and be patient long
enough TO allow German schemes TO
mature.
at is believed in many quarters that
so far as Germany is concerned. the
Irish troubles were engineered with
the idea of bringing home 10 President
Wilson an approximate estimate of the
internal dangers his own country would
incur if it should be called upon to
make war upon Germany with so many
millions of Germans and Irishmen liv-

But the French have met the attacks

no longer depend upon them: Instead,
the reliance now is upon machine guns,

in the hands Of ordinary soldiers, are
now the equal of mitrailleuse.
