WILSON NOTIFIES BERLIN
HE ACCEPTS CONCESSIONS
Brief Reply Sent by President
to Germany'S Note on
U-BOat Issue
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, May 9.-America' S
latest note to Germany on the subma-
rine controversy mad gone forward 70
Berlin today and administration Off
Gals were interested in knowing wheth-
err Germany would make any reply. IT
was intimated in German circles that
the Imperial government might not
consider an answer necessary.
The text of the note, made public last
night, shows that the United States &C
cepts the German promises that sub
marine warfare in the future will be al
tered to conform with recognized rules
of international law. 1t insists, how
ever, that Germany must not consider
her respect for rights of American cit
liens on the high seas contingent on the
conduct of any other belligerent with
whom the United States may be negoti-
ating.
Responsibility in such matters is
single, not joint; absolute, not rela-
tive" says the note.
Secretary Lansing gave out a state
ment explaining that a large part of tho
latest Germany reply dealt with ques-
tions concerning the conduct of other
belligerents which the American gov
eminent could not discuss with the Ber-
lin government. He stated, however, he
considered Germany cad yielded to our
representations and that I'VE can have
no reason to quarrel with her" so long
as the altered submarine policy is not
violated.

skirts of this city had destroyed thirty

brands ignited houses situated blocks
from the center of the confiagration, and
much difficulty was experienced in fight
ing the flames. The burning section
is outside the city limits and single

able water supply. The scene is one
of great confusion, hundreds of persons
being feverishly engaged in efforts to
remove household effects and valuables
from houses in the pathway of the
flames A stiff breeze is blowing. The
majority of the burned and threatened
dwellings are small.
At $50 o'clock the fire was under
control, after having burned 80 houses
and damaged as many more, more or
less seriously. The flames were checked
by a frame building with a fireproof
roof. An adjoining brick residence with
a shingle roof was completely de-
stroyed.
The estimated aggregate loss was
$4,000.

Valuations given here are ultra-con-
SENTATIVE it anything. Atlantians ia
miIiar with the prices which cultivated
lands in South Georgia are bringing
today. state that IT is probable the
home will find its bequest doubled in
value in the next few years.
News Of the legacies contained in the
will were received with much surprise
in Atlanta Wednesday, for il was not
generally known that Miss Catchings
contemplated any such disposal of her
estate.
She was an old maid, sc years old. For
years she had lived alone on her planta-
ton in Quitman county. She was re-
garded as one OF the wealthiest women
in Georgia and was said to be the larg-
est woman landholder in the state.

front porch of her home. She mad been
beaten and strangled. There was a ring
in her hand. Officers traced its owner
ship, with the result that Rich Hender-

upon his death. Oak View consists of
from / 500 to 400 acres of fertile farm
lands. Estimating their value at SIS
an acre-a conservative price for South
Georgia lands-they are worth about
$4,000.
To the Home for the Friendless in
Atlanta Miss Catchings left 1,72O acres
in Clay county, Ga, known as "the Riv-
erside place." and So acres in Clay
county known as ''the residence place
of the Burney plantation" out of the

CBy Assoeiated Press.l

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico. May 9.-Ac-
cording to official estimates the Porto
Rican tobacco crop will fall far short
of the estimate made during the grow
ing season and, as a consequence. the
highest tobacco prices in ten years are
now prevailing. The present crop will
amount to approximately 100000
pounds instead of 100000 or 10000
600 as previously expected.
Prices for sun-grown tobacco range
about 30 cents a pound as compared
with 20 cents last year and about Is
cents for the crop of two years ago.
AS a result OF present prices tobacco
men estimate that this years crop will
bring between 100000 and s4,OOO,O0
more than that of last year. The United
