dicatiOD of the Kaiser was being con
sidered seriously in Berlin and that

excited intense enthusiasm here last
night, which died away, however, on
tho receipt Of official statements from
London that such reports were IN.
founded and on the receipt Of n retract-
ion by the Dutch newspaper which first
sent the announcements out.
New York Got News
The New York Times issued a hulIe
tion carrying despatch from The
Hague, in which a correspondent stated
"authoritntively" that Germany's an
swPr was expected to be sent this af
terncon. In this reply to the Presi-
dents last note to Berlin, Germany
would accept Wilson = terms on the con
dition that "Gcrman interests are guar
