PROPOSAL II BE
IDE BY GERMANY
Berlin Government Said to be Willing
to Submit Present Differences to
Proper Court.
NOTE TO BE ANSWERED FIRST
German AmbajttOdor to United Staled
May llo Given Instructions to Siig
gt Arbitration to America Note
Now Relieved to Have Hraclicd
Uorclgn Office.
BERLIN, May 15. The president
note voicing the protest of the Igni
ted States against the German sub
murlne warfare on merchant vessels
la In the hands of the German gov
ernment. It was prewnted to the
foreign office by Ambassador Ger
ard at 11:30 a. in.
BERLIN. May 15. Germany la
willing to arbitrate the exiatlng dif
ferences with the United States, ac
cording to the Vosslsche Zeltung.
"High government circles" favor
ubmlttlng the LustTanla difficulties
with America to a court of arbitra
tion, the paper atuted. Ambassador
Von Bernatorff may be given Imme
diate Instructions to suggest arbitra
tion to the United Slates, It was add
ed. The Vosslsche Zeltung stated It
was believed In official circles that
Germany will make a prompt answer
to the note before proceeding with It!
policy of torpedoing merchant steam
ers carrying passengers.
German public opinion Is hlghli
Inflammed because of the anti-German
riots In England and the decision
of the English government to Intern
all aliens of military age. Newspa
pers declared that England Is wreak
ing vengeance upon helpless civilians
only because she Is powerless to act
In n military way. Some advocate
reprisals against Englishmen Intern
id in Germany.
The Vosslsche Zeltung, which an
nounces that arbitration is likely, is
the liberal party organ. The North
Cermnn Oniette Is usually used as
the government'! mouthpiece.
WASHINGTON, May 15. The ad
ministration was satisfied this after
noon that Germany has now received
Wilson's note of protest although no
Official word that It had been dellv
ered to the foreign office has been
received. Ambassador Gerard In a
cablegram stated the note hod not
liceji received at 7 p. m. on Friday.
With the president at iea en route
to New Tork on the Mayflower. Sec
retary Bryan Is "sitting on the lid"
while officials speculated as to the
outcome of the tense situation. They
are generally hopeful. The unani
mous prediction of leading British
and French papers that Germany
would defy America led many offi
cials to take opposite views, how
ever. The allies doubtless are ear
nestly hoping for a break and It was
believed here that Germany would
give this attitude cognisance In deter
mining Its decision.

us were anxious to see Multnomah
county build good roads was knowl
edge of the fact that a successful
road campaign there would encourage
workers in other counties We felt
that If the road bonds had failed in
Multnomah reople in other counties
would have become discouraged. !
"Put the Multnomah county bonds
were voted by a two to one majority.
The majority would have been heav

of success. The fact Umatilla county

bring about reductions In transporta

for road building that did nol exist

LONDON. May 15. The Britiah

refusal to comply with the American
demand to abandon or substantially
alter Its methods of submarine war
fare waa a foregone conclusion. News
papers stated, however, that thli does

the note as "studiously courteous,

The Express declared editorially:
"Th note is admirably dignified and

The reference in the note to Ger
