Note Leaves Loopholes. There is, however, much doubt on certain points covered in the note. The note, it is pointed out, is so worded as to leave many diplomatic loopfcoles for the imperial government.

It is so framed that it practically demands further elucidation on various phasos of the controversy. It is doubtful if any every way the demands of the United States. Berlin's Eyes On Ui, BERLIN', May 0. What brief comment Is made by the Berlin press to- day of the German reply to the United State voices a hope that the "incident Is closed." The organs that had apposed further concessions to America content themselves with calling at-tention to editorials previously published. Dispatches telling of the manner in which the American newspapers re-.

reived the German note attracted, more interest than did the Berlin press com-' ment, however. The fragmentary dis-: patches thus far received by way of jKngland indicate that the Impression caused in the United was un-" i favorable. Fuller reports are being 'anxiously awaited. Imperial Chancelor von Bethmann-Hollweg made an extended statement to the budget committee of the reich-stag with reference to submarine warfare and the situation involving the i United States and Germany today. He spoke for an hour and a half.

i All members of the budget committee attended the session, at which for the time the chancelor revealed cer-; tain phases of the German-American '(negotiations that had hitherto been 'known only to the government and Emperor William.

Robert DeBow took him to task for this, saying that the law provided that the special election must be conducted in the same manner as regular elections.

For this tea nun alone the president, it is said, will not'feel at liberty to pass judgment on it until he has closely studied the official text.

Apparently the German position on the vital point at issue the suspension or abandonment of illegal submarine warfare could be summed up in a broad sense in this manner: "Germany has suspeuded ils 1 1 lepra I submarine warfare in the hope that! the United States will now insist upon Great Britain abandoning its illegal blockade." Heretofore Germany has offered to sn i tious simuUaneously with an abandonment of the blockade by Great -Britain. Now Germany apparently has mtide the appears to rcprespnt. a dehnito couces- Ion and tsoinctiiing more than'" Germany has ever agreed to do before. Tie main reliance of the United States government in its belief that) Germany has met the president's de-! mauds' is contained in the orders is sued by the imperial government to its nUOIiialluV vuujmauuvio. aucil: viucin state: In accordance wttli the general pmncl- pies of visit and search and the destruc tion of merchant vessels recognlied by international law such vessels, both within and without the area declared a naval war lone, shall not be runk without warning and without saving human lives unless the ship attempts to escape or offer reistance.

The orders appear definite enough, hut officials already see a possibility that they may, be given a different interpretation according to whether or not an armeil merchant man Is regard-eel ns a "merchant vessel." The United Mates has flatly taken the stand that this la the proper and legal designation of a merchantman armed for defense. Germany has declared that the imperial government rcpanls armed merchantmen' In the British service as auxiliary warships for the ronson that the Ilritish admiralty has ordered them to attack: submarines. Tt now develops that Pecretiry Lan sing made public the American memo randum defining the alatus of armed merchantmen for the speclflo, purpose of meotinpr aome such issue as thtsi-The United States foresaw the possibility that Germany would he disposed to ex. elude British arnred merchant ships from the category of" ordinary peace able vessels, -v For Further Discussion. The question which officials are asking Is: "Does Germany agree te this definition or does Germany still maintain that fjb.e has the right to attack armed merchant vessels in the same manner that she would attack warships?" The only answer, it is.

explained, nmst necessarily come from the Imperial government And this necessitates fnrther discussion and further opportunity for Berlin to endeavor to impress it viewpoint on the United States. Judging solely by the text of the note and the manned in which the orders to submarine commanders are explained in it, the impression is conveyed that Germany does not attach any strings to the orders. German states that it is ready to do its utmost "to confine operations of the war for the rest of its duration to the fighting forces of the belligerents, thereby also insuring freedom of the sens." This is interpreted to mean that Germany is prepared to cense devoting attention to submarine operations against merchantmen if Great Britain relinquishes the blockade. Then the German note slates that "the Germnu gov-ernment, guided by this Idea, notifies the government of the United States that German naval forces have received the following order." The construction which members of Wilson's cabinet because of this place on the orders is that Germany is making her full concession in advance in the hope of bringing the -desired concession from Great Britain. Viewed in this light officials are not inclined to believe that the German government will make an issue of the armed merchantmen question in carrying out these orders.

No Renunciation, Says London LONDON, May 6. "Germany has not renounced the policy of assassiit-i atlon; she virtually defies Fres. AV'il- son to put in force his solemnly de-'. lined alternative," Says the Ball Mall Gazette today in commenting on the German reply to the recent American not. The Gazette joins other KritiHh newspapers in asserting that, the Washington government will reject the German reply.

The Westminster Gazette, which usually voices official opinion, says: "It Is for the American people to judge whether repitition of promises to be more' careful is the effective renunciation which Fres. Wilson hits manded. It' I that nothing 'but fear of the consequences will restrain Germany in the use of the We do, not suppose there is any misconception on this subject in the Peaes Opening, Says Holland. ROTTERDAM, May 6 Dutch newspapers expres the opinion that the German note to the United states was an' ingenious deviae to open the way for peace negotiations. Germany has promised what, to her, are vital cony cessions but she expects the United State to exact concessions from England.

With this as an opening wedge Germany may go still further and pro- pose the' United States as mediator to restore peace. In the note of yester- day the German government definitely announce that it has twice declared its readiness to make peace, Washington, There are many ''indications that the- German reply tc the American, note will avert thft dau ftor of an immediate diplomatic break. although President Wilson is reserving declslop until ho has hafl time to go over the official text.

German submarine commanders have been ordered to conduct their warfare ajralnst merchantmen "in accordance with the perioral principles of vlsit.nnd search recognized by, 'international i'law," and these-orders, according to the are in effect The fact that Germany by impliea- tion threatens to.withdraw the orders unless the United States obtains con-i. cessions from Great Britain relative to the blockade is not regarded necessa: rily as vitiating Germany's concession to the American demand. Can Deal With Thrsst. The United States, it is explained, iwiirknow how to deal with thia threat shonld it be put into execution. In the meantime the submarine menace to noncombatants' lives is at least tempo-Z rarity eliminated, snd this is the object for which the president has been etriv-V- fog.

i It is too early to predict with cer-'j. painty that the president will accept this concession on its face value, but Indications strongly point that way. The president received the German re- ply as cabled from Berlin just before the cabinet meeting. He read it to his advisers, and the cabinet discussed it for nearly two hours. The unfavorable impression made by the sharp words in the preliminary parts of the note was offset by the out- line of the orders to submarine manders which indicates the specific eoncessions which the imperial govern-' ment has made.

It is understood that the president felt that much of the verbiage of the note was intended for "home consumption" in Berlin. It was the guarantees, not the words, that in- terested the president. Break Stems Averted. 1 Following the cabinet meeting there were further indications that an Immediate break was not imminent. Secretary I-nnslng snld: "I cannot discuss the note in any way at this time." But he added later that certain in-tiolrles concerning the note probably wonia be made of the German govern merit.

This was regarded as an admls tlort that the note had at wt the purpose of reopening diplomatic negotiations between the two govern i ments. althoiiRh Fresident Wilson had; made It clear that In case the Gtrmno I reply did not meet his demands would not enter into any further dta- i Other cabinet officers reflected th view that the tension Lad relaxed Postmaster Burleson wonld I not discuss the matter specifically, hut I ine waun express i imp up i iv.ii m.v rmZ trmifrae. j'.
