BRITISH BLOCKADE IS RELAXED IN QUARTET IT Action Coming on Day Ger man Note Reached U. S,! Deemed Significant, i DUTCH VESSEL RESTORED Admission Hade Britain Wrong1 aa to Facta Outlined In American Remon strance at Ssizure of Teutons. London, May 6. tl. X. R.) (ireat ' Britain yesterday announced -a relaxa tion of her rvgorotis blockade in four i lmportitnt caseH. j Thix action, taken on the very day' that the German note called upon fhe ( 1 tilted Mates to hrtmg as much pres sure to bear on Kngland as on Ger many for the observation of Inter national law, is significant. I.ord Robert Cecil, minister of war trade, made the announcement. Concessions Made by Britain. First. Business documents from shippers to and from l eutral countries will be placed in a separate mall bail, which will receive immediate exami nation and will proceed on the nip on which it was originally mailed. I No guarantee will be given that this i bag will not be opened, but shippers j w ill be assured that there will be no ! delay. Second, a prize court order restores to its owners the Hutch steamer Al- i wlna. Condemnation had been asked on the ground that the ship was I seize at Falmouth had been or was at tempting to supply coal to German cruisers in Ihe Pacific. Cargo Not Delivered to Enmy. The court ruled tnat while the Al wina had been carrying contraband and had false papers, her cargo had never been deliverer! to the enemy. Third, appeals granted to the own im of the Swedish steamer Zamnra. Thr- uttaniiT with its rnren of Conner! was seized last June and later requi sitioned by the British government. Lord Robert hinted that it might be necessary to abandon several block ade orders as a result of this decision, which was rendered by the privy council. Immediate release of 3S Germans and Austrians taken from the Ameri can steamship China was oraereu. Britain Admit Sne Was Wrong-. Great Britain admits itself in the wrong in regard to the facts outlined in t lie American remonstrance. The reply, however, will! be couched in such terms that no general precedent will be established. The state department at Washing ton has contended that the facts in the case of the steamer China are similar to those of the famous Trent affair. While it is not known what attitude the British reply will adopt toward this argument, I.ord Cecil gave It as his personal opinion that the, two cases present wide differences. Change in Ministry Likely. Washington, May 6. (I. N. S.) Of fieials of this government have re- I ceived from London information that within four months there will be a new ministry in Great Britain. David Lloyd George, It was declared, will he the new premier and the pres- ( ent premier, Mr. Asuuith, will not be included in the next cabinet. Lloyd George, according to the information received here, will associate with him self principally Tories. Statesmanship Much zreefled. The reason for dropping Mr. Asquith was said to be a "purpose to substitute statesmanship for politics during the remainder of the war and to have a statesman at the head of the govern ment when the peace conference is held." It was said Lloyd-George had risked his great popularity by supporting con scription, which Mr, Asijuith believed would prove a failure through sup posed hostility on the part of the Brit ish public. Lloyd-George, it was said, was willing to risk his future to serve the best Interests of the nation, which required compulsory service. Lloyd-Oeorg for Conscription. Lloyd-George's most telling argu ment in favor of conscription, it was said, was that Kngland must have it if she would continue to be an inde pendent nation and not a subject peo ple. A general feeling throughout Kng land that Mr. Asquith sacrificed the national interests for the sake of party and factional advantage is said to have been seized upon by the most, powerful political and financial interests in the country. The program, officials here are informed, will not be rushed to realization, but will be carried out in an orderly way without jeopardizing any of the national interests. Memorial Services To Be Held at Plaza Memorial services marking the an niversary of the sinking of the l.usi tania May 7. 1H1 5, are to be held in the Plaza block oppositie the courthouse at :30 o'clock tomornrfw- afternoon.

KAISER WANTS WILSON TO END WAR, IS BELIEF (Continued From Page One) would satisfy President Wilson and the Americans. There were no ad verse editorials. Newspaper admitted Britain would vigorously that Great oppose the i effort by the I'nited States to curtail its blockade of the central empires. It was pointed out that the blockade is as valuable to Great Britain as the submarine .s to Germany, and that lit will reyuire unusual pressure from i America to force the British to a strict compliance with international law. The Tageblatt expressed a hope that the note would accomplish its purpose. 1 The Dokal Anzeiger hoped that it would satisfy the Americans and con gress, even if it did not satisfy Wil son. The Vossische Zeltung emphasized 1 the charge that Wilson is one-sidedly 'neutral, and added that Germany had made an honest and earnest endeavor to. avoid a break. Imperial Chancellor von Bethmann Hollweg, Foreign Minister von Jagow. Minister of Finance von Helferricn and Admiral Capclle addressed a secret meeting of the reichstag committee, at which the note and the reasons for the government's course were explained. GERARD CONFERENCE WITH KAISER THOUGHT TO REFER TO PEACE Washington, May . (V. P.) Of ficials guardedly indicated that some thing may result directly from Ger many's plain Indication that It is anxious for peace. The conference between Ambassador Gerard and the kaiser suddenly looms 1 large in the minds of officials. It had not been seriously thought that the emperor discussed details of the submarine issue with Gerard. Since the arrival of the reply there is a strong belief that peace may have played a prominent part in the conference. Germany's admission that she twice offered to make peace and a declara tion that she yields because she be lieves prolongation of the war a calam ity, these if not actual Indications of uneasiness for the future are appeals to this country for affirmative steps that will stop the carnage, according to the belief of German as well as ad ministration circles. Nation Sick of Fighting-. It may be said authoritatively that some persons close to the president be lieve he should tentatively sound out the belligerents on the question of pos sible peace and the result of the Ger man note. One of these said: "We hear In this no voice of the braggard or the bully, but the voice of a nation sick and tired of the endless fight. It is the heart and soul of Germany speaking what it feels." The president for more than a year has declined to offer his services to ward peace. Vntll such action is sug gested by a belligerent. It is believed he will make no move. This sugges tion, in the minds of many, has now come. Whether the president will so regard it remains to be seen. Much probably depends on what Am bassador Gerard communicated wit.i regard to his conferene with the Kaiser. The contents of his communication on that point are closely guarded. Tn the meantime the president will not act in this direction until he has determined whether he can with dig nity accept the new German pledge as t wholly apart from its discussion of the British blockade. The offh-,,11 text t is practically identical with the press text. It was said. Dutch See Peace Proposal. London, May 6. (I. X. S. A dis patch to the Dally News from Rot- terdam says: , "Considerable importance is attached i here to the curious tone of Germany's j reply to President Wilson's submarine demands. It is believed that behind! the cloud of vague and conditional I promises there is a certain anxiety that i negotiations should be opened once j with England through the mediation I of the United States for a return to the conditions as regards contraband ! that existed before Decehiber, 1914. "The immediate object, if these sup positions are correct. Is to be the. pre text for opening a discussion of a far wider nature. embracing even peace conditions. "Today I interviewed an American who had just left Berlin and gathered that the belief exists there that Am bassador Gerard's visit to Emperor Wilhelm at headquarters, while osten sibly in connection with the German reply tp America's note, led to discus sion far wider in range than those of submarine warfare and its effects upon American interest. "In some quarters it is even sug gested that the possibility of America acting as intermediary in peace pro posals was broached." England Disappointed. London. May 6. (17. p.) Dispatches from Washington reporting the prob able acceptance of the German sub marine reply by the United States government brought disappointment to Great Britain today. The morning newspapers nublished lengthy editor ials, and agreed almost unanimously that the reply failed to meet the American demands. The press ex pressed concern over the attempt to embroil Great Britain and the CniteJ States by making the concessions conditional on a change of British methods. The only paragraph satisfactory to London was Germany's declaration that concessions made would prevent the prolongation of the war. Critics seized upon this as an admission that Germany is highly alarmed over the possible effects of America's entrance into the war on the side of the allies. The Post and the Chronicle agreed that Germany was prolonging the ne gotiations again. Jordan Says Offer Valueless. Palo Alto, Cal., May 6. (L P.) "Peace suggestions made in the Ger man note to the I'nited States ate not In such shape as to be of any value." declared Ir. David Starr Jordan, chan cellor emeritus of Stanford university, today. The noted peace advocate as serted that peace could only be effec t ed if all nations agreed to go Irai k to where they were before the war began. 'The allies," said Dr. Jordan, "will not consider an proposal that does not include the restoration of Relgium and m i l hern France. Conditions on the eahiern front would also have to be adjusted by an international com mission. "1 think that Germany should say squarely that it is ready for a con sideration of terms of peace. These terms should include the evacuation of Belgium and northern, France. An other condition should be an agreement on the part of Great Britain to return all of Germany's colonies. peace at present can only become a reality when the nations agree to go back to right .where they were when the war started.''

VlUlstaa Were Sleeping. Major Howze struck the trail of the bandits Wednesday afternoon, and he followed it all nignt. At daybreak Thursday a scout returned with the information that the Villistas, resting, were encamped a mile ahead. Their horses were tethered, and the Villistas were sprawled about on dirty blankets. The sentinels were dozing. The Americans were upon the Mexi cans almost before the aiarm was given. Yelling at the top of thei voices, the bandits made a dash for their horses, the Americans opening fire The handits mounted and fled at top speed. Piffht "Past and Furious." "The fight was fast and furious while it lasted," reported Major Howze. General Pershing's report to General Fitnston of the fight stated that five Carranzista generals held by the Vil listas to be executed were released. General Scott is of the opinion that this will go a long way toward Con vincing the Carranzistas that the Americans are willing and sincere in their efforts to cooperate with the Car ranzistas in ridding the country of brigandage. SCOTT EXPECTS THAT HE WILL SIGN PACT WITH OB REG ON TODAY El Paso, Texas, May 6. V. P) General Hugh Scott expects to sign today the agreement which he entered into with General Alvaro Obregon covering the operations of American troops in Mexico. Whatever obstacles prevented Obregon from signing yes terday are believed to have been over come today and it was expected he would meet Scott in a last corifrence without further hesitation. Obregon declared that his messages from Carranza were garbled and that this prevented the sealing of the agree ment. Officials did not credit this, however, asserting that Carranza probably hoped the German reply would affect the situation. Brown Saw Gavira First. Circumstantial accounts today re vealed an interesting phase of the pre liminaries. Scott sent O. P. Brown, agent of the war department, to Jaurez to "throw the fear of God into the Mexicans' hearts," before the first conference, according to these reports. Brown failed to find Obregon but con ferred with General Gavira and Consul Garcia, giving them Scott's message. He communicated a warning that the United States would no longer tolerate anarchy in Mexico and that if the Mex icans continued their attitude of asser tiveness and defiance, the next t wo years would be blacker than 1846 and 184". Ohregfon Backs Sown. Despite tnis, Obregon made a sweep ing demand in the first conference, it was learned, issuing a virtual ultima tum for the withdrawal of American troops from Mexico. Scott's attitude was effective, and In the second con ference Obregon was ready to "talk turkey." Negotiations proceeded rapidly, with the understanding that the I'nited States forces would quickly clean up northern Mexico.

South America has the greatest confidence in the good faith of the United States toward Mexico. Any action taken will be received without question there. This was the statement today of Senator Fletcher, returning from South America. "South America," he said, "thinks that the patient course of the United States toward Mexico is ample proof that it doesn't seek to dominate all t lie Americas. Many South Americans fe -1 that w-e have gone as far as we can to save Mexico from itself, and that all we can do now is to withdraw or intervene. Either course would not be disapproved." ' Situation Is liright. Washington, May 6. (U. P.) Fear and hope were mingled in the discus sion of the Mexican problem today. The fear was that Carranza would de lay ratification of the Scot t-Obregon agreement, again asking for withdrawal of I'nited States troops. There was hope that tin- reported definite location of Francisco Villa might mean early suc cess for the American expedition. Administration members doubted that Carranza would insist to the point of thwarting the agreement though it was believed he might ob ject anew to the presence of the troops, "'just to keep the record straight." Oftidals said the situation was brighter than in weeks. They antici pate that an early withdrawal of American troops is possible, though no date has been fixed. ANOTHER IRISH REBEL IS SHOT BY FIRING SQUAD 'Continued From Tage One) Lady Bellew, widow of the third Baron Bellew, who was brother of the ptesent peer of that title. A meeting: of Irish Nationalists for Tuesday to consider the conscription question was called today by John Redmond.

Mystery today surrounded the case of .lames Mark Sullivan, former Amer ican minister to Domingo, supposed to have been arrested In connection with the Irish rebellion. A government of ficial today denied Sullivan had been arrested. His statement, however, was so ambiguously worded, ag was a gov ernment denial issued last nignt, that it is generally believed Sullivan is in custody. Sullivan s wife has appealed to American Ambassador Page, stat ing her husband has disappeared. The belief that Sullivan Is under arrest was increased when the British government also issued a dental to the effect that St. John Gaffney. former American consul general at Munich, was not under arrest, and that so far as known, he did not land In Ireland. Gaffney Case Puizling. This statement in reference to Gaff ney is particularly puzzling. At no time prior to this has there been any intimation that Gaffney was either In Ireland or that he had been arrested. Gaffney some time ago got Into dis favor with the state department, be cause of his pro-German views and ut terances, and was dismissed. It was generally believed that he was In America until the mysterious denial was made that he had been arrested. Sullivan's case was all the more com plicated today, when Mrs. Sullivan re- ported to the American embassy here that there was not the slightest basis for the charges against her husband. Mrs. Sullivan is evidently under the belief that her husband has been ar rested and is being secretly detained. Mrs. Sullivan believes that her hus band has been brought to England, but all efforts to locate him have been futUe. Connolly Being Guarded. Dublin, May 6. (I. N. S.)
