Berlin, April 22.-(via London )-Ger many's answer to the latest American note is likely to be delayed by some parleys and requests for further infor nation on certain points, according tt the Lokal Anzeiger, which says it learns that the note is a decidedly long one and that it will be examined with Ger man thoroughness.
 Berlin, April 22-(via London)-Th' American note is now in the hands o Emperor William, Chancellor von Beth
 mann-Hollweg and General von Falken hayn, chief of the general staff at gen eral headquarters
 1 A summary of the note was tele graphed yesterday to general headquar ters and a courier. bearing the full tex and the appendix, was sent there by train.
 The deliberations of the Emperor, the chancellor and the chief of staff will de- ternline the future shaping of German American relations.
 NOTE IS PUBLISHED ne HULc dppcdTS III the newspapers Ol this afternoon. All Is quiet here. The Lokal Anzeigers prediction thai the German reply will be delayed il borne out by the fact that it has been forwarded to general headquarters. Prior to the publication of the note the newspapers were permitted to prin nothing concerning it except one dis patch sent from Washington by an Eng fish news agency on Wednesday. Thi, message was cabled before that day. session of Congress and apparently wa. intended to prepare the people for ths note itself.
 The Lokal Anzeiger endeavors to talk. a fairly. optimistic view of the situa ton. basing this on what it terms the
 almost invariable misleading character o1
 English news dispatches. It declares
 however, that as England is endeavor. ing to starve this country, Germany can
 not give up the right of self-defense. ONLY BRIEF COMMENT Other Berlin newspapers have published only few lines of noncommittal com ment. Of the prominent out-of-town pa pers only the Cologne Gazette referl editorially to the situation. It says An understanding between Germany and America concerning the use of sub
 marines hitherto has not been reported" The Lokal Gazette repeats the frequent
 ly heard attack on American neutrality

GENERAL OPINION IS
 THAT GERMANY WILL
 BEG THE QUESTION
Whereupon Orgy of Notes Will COntinue-Crisis Has Served to Draw Attention From Mexican Muddle
By HIGH ". ROBERTS


 :
 Washington, April 22.-(Special.) In regard to the crisis which this government faces in it's relation ship to Germany, democratic lead CTS in both branches of the gov ernment have agreed to withhold expression of opinion in the hope that the President may emerge with all the honor in the pending diplomatic barley. There is no question, on the other hand, but that if Germany takes such action as to make a break with the United States inevitable, democrats will freely express them selves before permitting the nation on an alleged flimsy excuse, to be drawn into actual war. The idea prevails that Germany, despite the final word' of the President, will argue the points in issue, thus making a severance of diplomatic relations unnecessary. : If the worst should come to the worst. however, Congress will en- : deavor honorably to avoid war with : all it's attendant slaughter.

To Intensifx RIockade

Berlin. April 22.-(via Wireless, )--Ac- cording to a dispatch from Geneva to the Overseas News agency, it is reported from Lyons, France, that an intensified entente blockade against neutral coun- tries will be begun without any preceding announcement
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-04-23


 Washington. April 22.-tspeciaI.) Recent developments make it certain that Congress will take any action the President might direct it to take, sI- that this nation should not he plunged into war because Germany, in an ef- fort to break the English food block ade, has resorted to the use of the submarine.
 Speculation is rife respecting the
 probable course to be pursued by
 the imperial German government.
 Should it yield to the insistence of
 the President and abandon the use
 of the submarine in the destruction
 of merchara vessels, it would by
 such yielding, permit the blockade
 against itself to become absolutely
 impenetrable. Should it decline to
 yield, it will lose the friendship and arouse, in all probability the
 active antagonism of the American
 eoyernment; and thus strengthen
 the British blockade by forcing to
 its assistance the friendly agencies
 of the United States
 The most conservative prognostica- tion is that Germany will yield to the demand of the United States to such an extent that President Wilson will find himself justified in further barley ling with the imperial government-in other words, that the orgy of diplo- matic notes will still pursue it's glut- |tonous course.
 NOTES PRIME EFFECT Two notable effects have already been produced by the note. or the att |titude of the President. i. The possibility of this nation en- gazing in war with Germany centered attention on the "unpreparedness' of the United States, and resulted, it is believAd, in the adoption by the Senate lof an amendment to the Chamberlain bill under the terms of which the standing army will be built up to the 25o.oo0 standard. g. The position of the President in re- spect to the German relations has dis tracted the attention of the public and of Congress from the precarious and delicate Mexican situation, out of (Continued on Page Two)
