SouiiiidnueISFln accordance with
the new orders which the Ger
man admiralty is to issue.
1t is understood that the Presi-
dent is far from pleased with
some Of, the language used in the
note and the conditions with
which Germany apparently
hedges about her future observ--
ance Of the law of humanity, but
1t is unlikely, under all the cir
cumstances, that the President
will openly question the good
faith OF the German government
unless the declarations of the new
methods of submarine warfare
prove ineffective in accomplish
ing the ends demanded by the
United States.
Cabinet Members Scatter
That the immediate fear of a
crisis has passed is demonstrated
by the actions Of the leading cabi-
net members. Secretary Lansing
left the city yesterday for a week
end at Annapolis; Secretary of
War Baker has left his offices on
a visit tos his home city, Cleve7
land. and Postmaster Burleson,
the Presidents closest adviser,
has gone on a fishing trip.
The official text of the German
reply was presented to the Presi-
dent yesterday after having been
decided in the state department.
The official version differs in
no essential respect from the ca
bled reports from Berlin 10 the
American press. and this paral-
leling Of the versions brought
measure Of relief in the strained
situation.
The Peace Hints
The President went over the
text Of the~German reply care
fully, paying particular attention
to that parttwhich touches upon
Germany's twice outlining sug-
gestions for peace. Germany in
this portion indicated that she
was ready to entertain plans for
peace provided her national in !
tereSts are satisfactorily safe
guarded but that no response was
made by the Allies to her hints.
1t is evident from the tone OF
guarded official discussion here
that there will be no further
moves for peace made on the part
of the United States until the,
Allies are willing to receive sug-
gestions, which, it is thought.
they are not now, because of
German demands which they will
not meet

AMERICANS GET BETTER
RATE ON TIME DEPOSITS
v~estigates Canadian and United
States Banking System.

Minneapolis, May 22.-Farmers and
business men on the American side OF
the international boundary enjoy sub
stantial advantages In obtaining cred
it, receive a materially better rate ON
their time deposits and pay no higher
rates than those who are customers
of the Canadian banks. If anything,
the rate level on the American side
is slightly more advantageous to the
borrower than in Canada. These r
the principle conclusions Of a lengthy
report on an investigation of Canadian
and American bank rates, which has
just been forwarded by the Federal
Reserve Bank of Minneapolis to the
Federal Reserve Board in Washington
The report further states that there 80
little hope for any substantial reduc-
ton in interest rates on the American
side of the international line until
depositors in country banks are will
ing to accept a lower rate Oil their
time deposits than the 5, 5k and s
per cent level which prevails.

DUTCH HOLD GERMANY IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR SINKING
Decide to Send Strong Note to Berlin
Regarding Torpedoing of
Steamer Turbantia.

London, May %. - The Dutch gov
eminent has decided to send a strong
note to Berlin saying that the Ger
man version Of the torpedoing of the
Dutch steamer Tubantia cannot be ac-
cepted and holding Germany respon-
sible for it, says a dispatch to the
Daily Mail, from Rotterdam.
A dispatch from The Hague last
week said the discussion of Dutch tor
pedo experts in Berlin regarding the
sinking Of the Turbantia had been
without conclusive results. Germany
admitted that metal found in the
Tubantia's boats was part Of a Ger.
man torpedo, but asserted the com
mander Of the submarine, from which
the torpedo came, said it was not fired
at the Tubantia March 16, but at a
British warship March 6, and that i,
missed its target.

Chasing Gringoes From Mexico"
A small group of Mexicans is falling
in behind the American columns as
they move northward, always keeping
out of sight, but telling the natives
that they are chasing the gringoes
from Mexican soil. They stop when
aver the Americans halt and hide or
disarm if General Pershiug's men ap-
proach them.
Two suggestions are prevalent re-
garding the identity of these men. One
is that they are Carranzistas trying to-
give the American movement the APP
pearance of a retreat. The other is
that they are bandits seeking to an
noy the Americans by ~sniping. The
latter conjecture is the most favored.
