WASHINGTON, May g.
GraveIy apprehensive, Washing
ton today awaited President VIII
sons Interpretation Of the German
reply to the American submarine
ultimatum, made public in Berlin
this morning. offieiaIdom was
widely divided as to the effect Of
the note. The text, it was admit
ted, was open to two Interpreta-
tions-either that It did or did not
meet the views of the president
Those who argued that it did
pointed out that the only part of
the rejoinder which showed def
mite action, that Germany has
changed the orders given her sub
marine commanders so that they
are specifically instructed to obey
the requirements Of international
law In attacking merchantmen, are
also to save lives except when
vessels resist or try to escape.
Those taking an opposite view,
and they include many of the ad-
ministration leaders, insisted that
the confession is 30 hemmed about
by conditions that it does not meet
the views Of the United States,
and that President Wilson has no
alternative under his own note of
April 1s, but to recall Ambassador
Gerard, and hand Ambassador Won
Bernstorff his passports. The

RepudIates Assertion


THE German government must EN-.
phatically repudiate the assertion.
THE German government will only
state that 1t has imposed far reaching
restraints upon the use of the subma.
rine weapon solely in consideration
of the interests of .neutrals, in spite of
the fact that these restrictions were
necessarily of advantage to Germany's
enemies.
mo such consideration has ever
been shown to neutra1s by Great Brit
ain or her allies.
admit that 1t has any doubt about
these orders being carried out in good
faith (by submarine commanders).
Proposals are spurned.
THE German government has made
several proposals to the government
of the United States in order to re.
duce to minimum for American trav.
elers and goods the (inherenD natural
dangers of naval warfare.
Unfortunately the government OF
the United States decided not to &C.
cept the proposals. Had it accepted
them the government Of the United
States would have been instrumental
in preventing greater part of the &C.
cidents that American citizens have
met with. In the meantime the Ger
man government still stands by it's Of
fer to come to an agreement along
these lines.
"The German government has re.
peatedly declared it can not dispense
with the use of. the submarine weapon
in the conduct of warfare against en-
emy trade.
The German government, however
has now decided to make further con.
cessions, adapting the methods Of sub
marine warfare to the interest of neu.
trails.
The German government attaches
no less importance to the sacred prin.
ciples of humanity than the govern
ment of the United States.
But, while these considerations are
of great weight, they alone, under the
present circumstances, would not by
themselves have determined the atti
tude of the German government.
Charges Discrimination.
'1n answer to the appeal by the gov
eminent of the United States on be
half of the sacred principles OF hu
manity and international law the Ger
man government must repeat once
more with all the emphasis at its
command that it was not the German
but the British government which
ignoring all the accepted rules Of In
ternational law, extended this terrible
war to the lives and property of non.
combatants.
I'm self-defense against the illegal
conduct of warfare by the British, and
while fighting bitter struggle for her
very national existence, Germany has
had to. resort to the hard but effective
weapon of submarine warfare.
AS matters stand the German gov.
ernment cannot but reiterate that the

sentiments OF humanity, which the gov.
eminent of the United States extend.
with such fervor to unhappy victims Of
submarine warfare are not extended
with the same warmth OF feeling to
many millions of women and children
who, according to the avowed intent
Ion OF the British government, shall
be starved and who, by suffering, shall
force the victorious armies of the cen.
trail powers into ignominious capitu-
Iation. .
THE German government, in agree
ment with (as we'll ash the German
people, falls to understand the dis
elimination, all the more as this gov.
eminent has explicitly declared itself
ready to use the submarine in strict
conformity with the rules of interna-
t1onal law as recognized before the
outbreak of the war, If Great Britain
will likewise adapt her conduct of the
war to these rules.
Several attempts made by the gov.
eminent Of the United States to pre-
vail upon the British government to
act accordingly Tin accordance with
the principles Of International law)
failed, because of the flat refusal on
the part of England.
England Violates Law.
Moreover, Great Britain ever since
(the beginning of the war; again ana
again has violated International law.
SURPRISING all bounds In outraging
neutral rights.
The German people know that the
government of the United States has
power to confine the war to armed
forces and to belligerent countries in
the interest of humanity and to main
tain the integrity of International law
The government OF the United
States would have been certain In at
tanning its end had it been determined
to insist (protest) against Great Brit
tain on its incontrovertible rights to
the freedom of the seas.
Partially Is Charged.
But as matters stand, the German
people are under the impression that
the government of the United States,
while demanding that Germany. strug-
Cling for existence, shall restrain the
use of its effective weapon, while max
ing application for these damnads fof
the United States1, for the mainte-
nance of (amicable) relations. Ger
many confined itself to protests
against Illegal methods adopted by
Germanys enemies.
Moreover, the German people know
to what considerable extent the en-
emies kof Germany are supplied
with all kinds of war materials from
the United States.
Appeal Meets Failure.
1T will, therefore, be understood
that the appeal made by the govern.
ment of the United States to the sen.
timenfs of humanity and the princi.
pies of international law can not meet
with the same hearty responses from
the German people which such an Al.

BERLIN Will put BLAME UPON UNITED STATES
IF ENGLISH BLOCKADE CAUSES GERMAN DEFEAT;
ASKS PRESIDENT TO CONSIDER FURTHER DETAILS

BERLIN, May 5-Germany's reply to the note of
the United States which made public today defends
Germany s submarine warfare.
The note opens with mention of the Sussex case and
the first sections of less conciatoy than had been
expected In fact there defiant tone about it. The
following excerpts are from the text of the reply:
"The German government handed over to the proper
naval authorities for further investigation evidence con-
corning the Sussex communicated by the govern
ment of the United States.
The German government begs to reserve further
communications the matter until certain points are as
ceraned which of decisive importance for establish
ing the complete facts in the case.
WILL ADMIT CONSEQUENCES.
Should it turn out that the commander (sub-
marne) was wrong in assuming the vessel (Sussex)
to be manofwar, the German government will not fail
to draw consequences resulting therefrom.
In connection with the of the Sussex the United
States made series of statements the gst of which is the
assertion that the incident be considered was but one
instance of deliberate method of ndiscrimnate desruc
ton of vessels of all sorts and all nationaes and destna
tons by German submarine commanders

The Starr Piano company announced
today that any of its employees of
military age, physically able to per-
form the duties of soldier and will

event of war, would be listed as an
applicant for admission to the train

The five men selected will be chosen
by lot from the list of qualified appli-
cants. No wages will be paid while
attending the camp. but the mems po-
sitions will be held open for them
until the completion of their months s

crowds today who read the Palladium's

governments reply to President Will

diplomatic relations with Germany in
the event that country failed to cur

!, The fact that the announcement was
made that commanders Of German SUBJ
marines had just been ordered not to
attack a merchant vessel until 1t had
first been visited, searched and its
crew and passengers given an oppor-
tunity to escape, was looked upon by
many as a complete acceptance OF
President Wilson's demands. Others,
