I the reply, in all probability, will be found an empty document, ostensibly meeting half way America's demands by certain conces sions and counter ' proposal, ron-ac-teptance of which will put President Wilson In the position of having to take apparent -responsibility fur de claring war. If It can possibly be avoided, Ger many, whose mind has long been made up as to procedure in the present cir cumstances, will not reajly abandon her present methods of warfare. If a breach comes as a result of the un satisfactory nature of the reply, the German plan is to appear once more as the Injured martyr upon whom an other nation has Jealously vented its spleen. Continuation of negotiations is what Germany desires. Headquarters has made up its mind what it wants, but is crowding the issue in the hope that America again can be put off with technical proposals, which will alter nothing in the submarine warfare Rethmann-Hollwcg Returns.
