YEARS IS UK AD. of President to Offset Feelings Knirendered by Strife; Ideals Arc Considered Highest. tin KZV TVASH I.VGTON, May 6. The prob ability that a diplomatic break with Germany has been averted, at least trmporarily. was strengthened today when the official tpxt of the German note laid before President 'Wilson and Secretary Lansing was found to be almost identical with the unofficial version sent to the United States in press dispatches. Off icia Is had indicated that, phould the official text bear out the unofficial version, they thought it improbable diplomatic relations would have to be severed, unless there should be further attacks upon merchant ships in viola tion of the now pledges given. Disappointment has been indicated over certain features of the German reply, and some high officials believe that if at least cannot be accepted un conditionally. The President and Sec retary La nsing studied the text care fully today, going minutely over the phraseology and the shades of moan ing that might be attached to various expressions. Q.ueftion of Answer in? Open. Opinion as to whether the note re quires an answer seems d ivided. So far the President has not indicated to anyone his final judgment in the mat ter. It is entirely possible that no reply will be sent, for the present at least, and that the President will maintain complete silence for a time, allowing Germany to demonstrate on her own behalf the good faith of her intention to carry out the policy indicated in her new orders to submarine commanders. Although the President realizes that the promises given are the cardina elements of the note, he is' understood to be displeased over the language used and the conditions apparently attached. Should the note be accepted as satis factory and a reply sent, it is said it will take the form of a notification to Germany that the United States has de cided not to sever diplomatic relations as long as the new submarine orders remain effective and are observed. The only indication regarding the personal attitude of President Wilson was obtained today from persons close to affairs of the White House, who described him as feeling himself in a position where be fould not question Germany's good faith, unless the dec larations made by the German govern ment should not prove effective. Slight Kl(ferencen Shown. The official text of the German note was made public today by the -State De partment. Ambassador Gerard, in transmitting the rjocnmont. paid he had rocrivfd copies in both German and Knglish, probably accounting for the fact that the official and the unoffi cial versions were eo nearly Identical. A slight difference in the text occurs in that paragraph where the unofficial version says that Germany "has de cided to make further a concession adapting the method of submarine war fare to the interests of neutrals." In the official text the words "in adopt in" appear in place of the. word "adapting.' Another difference has to do with an omission, probably due to an error' in cable transmission. The words in the unofficial version, "sev oral attempts made by the Government of the t nited 'States to prevail upon, preceding the words "the British gov ernment to act accordingly failed be cause of flat refusal on the part of the British government" are mussing from the official text. i The only other discrepancy the unofficial version speaks place of the "incontrovertible to freedom of the seas, while f icia 1 text employs the term testable." i - t J if !

BERLIN", May 5, via London, May 6. After figuratively taking the public's breath away two weeks ago by a dar ing article captioned "If I Were Wil son, Maximilian Harden today returns to an exhaustive defense of President Wilson, his policy and the entire American standpoint. In a leader in the Zukunft entitled "The Real Wilson," Herr Harden praises President Wilson as a "man of high moral and high spiritual char acter, of whom we might be proud he were ours." What the writer ch acterizes as "lazy ignorance" is repre sented as "chattering from the mantle of would-be patriotism, whi-h in reality has nothing in common with genuine patriotism, when President W ilson is assailed as he frequently has been." Wilson Praised an Author. "Xinety-nine one hundredths of all the so-called war literature," Herr Harden continues, "should be sent where it belongs to the paper mill and the public should return to book from which a wide-awake spirit spe including President Wilson's 'The Freedom Then, perhaps, pure com mon sense will return to you and awaken you to the duty of respecting the dignity of foreign people." Herr Harden follows with a brief character sketch of President Wilson, in which Jie calls the President "a brave opponent of evil and abuses," and al ludes to him as "actuated by a love for his people and possessed of the will to lead them to the heights of his ideals after they had got into the swamp land." Absolute Conviction Conceded. "Germany." he adds. "should be ashamed of people who slander him be cause they have read calumny in news papers." In all his controversies with Ger many, says Herr Harden. President Wilson has acted from absolute convic tion. "Dare we measure by the stand ard of a student's squabble the com plaints of a great free Nation, led by a man of the weight and importance of President Wilson?" asks the writer. "If President Wilson, after a thorough in vestigation, is convinced that warlike acts of Germany have broken the laws of humanity, it was not only his right, but his duty, to talk with clearness. He owes this not as a duty to himself, to us." ills ooks, t eaks, I New I t 1 v, i : f j- M 4 if s ) t f . qtJ 'i J I . ' t'.: H - " j It ' : HI Sirs.

( Special. I Many of Chicago's most prominent suffragists today sent their resignations to the chairman of the Congressional Union for Woman's Sutfrage. The resigna tions are tiie result of the Congres sional Union's reported determination to form a woman's party in Chicago, June 4-6. Among the other reasons given was the answer of the union's . chairman when asked if she intended to thank Colonel Koosevelt for coming out for the Federal amendment. "I do not think we should thank him for having made what he no doubt con siders a wise political announcement and what we consider it is his duty to make," she said. Several of the women who resignel met at the annual meeting of the Po cussed their resignations. Among them were: Miss Nellie Carlin, public guard ian of Cook County; Mrs. Judith Weill Loewent hal, chairman of the Third Ward Civic League and secretary of the Illinois Equal Suffrage Association; Miss Kate Adams, sponsor for the Kate Adams law; Mrs. Ida Darling Kngelke, chairman of the central council of the Civic League; Mrs. Maud Kain Taylor, corresponding secretary of the Pol iti cal Equality League, and Miss L.

Senator Lane today charged Senator Chamberlain with "putting one over on him" in having the Columbia River fisheries bill, passed by the House Thursday, referred to the Senate judiciary committee instead of to the fisheries committee, of which Senator Lane is chairman. He said he could have the bill re ferred to his committee, and he added: "1 will keep the lid on until the voters of Oregon have an opportunity in June to pass on the initiative bill dealing with this subject." Senator Lane expressed renewed hos tility toward the bill.

Those sufferers who have been obliged to ex clude from their diet all starchy, sweet or fatty food, and are trying to keep up miserable existence on gluten prod ucts, should try a meal of any food or foods in moderate amount, taking immediately afterwards a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia in a little hot or cold water. This will neutralize any ex cess acid which may be present, or which may be formed, and instead of the usual feeling of uneasiness and fullness, you will find that your food agrees with you perfectly. Bisurated Magnesia is doubtless the best food corrective and anti-acid known. It has no direct action on the stomach; but by neutralizing the acidity of the food contents, and thus removing the source of the acid Irritation which inflames the delicate stomach lining, it does more than could possibly be done by any drug or medicine. Do not dose an inflamed and irritated stomach with drugs, but get rid of the acid the cause of all the trouble. Get a little bisurated magnesia from your druggist, eat what you want, at your next meal, take some of the bisurated magnesia as directed above, and note remarkable results. Adv.
