Hut apart from the possibility of er

'fare implies unavoidable dangers, for
i neutral persons and goods entering the
fighting zone. Kveu in cases wiiero
naval aetion is confined to ordinary
forms of cruiser warfare neutral per

the dangers from mines as they have
led to the loss of numerous ships. Tho
Herman government made several pro
posals to the government of the I'nited
States in order to reduce to a mini
I mum for American travelers and goods
the inherent dangers of naval warfare.
'. I'nfortunately, the government of the
I I'nited States decided not to accept the

Berlin, May 5. That Germany yielded practically
every demand made in the United States submarine note
was conceded in the German reply made public here.
Every possibility of a break is apparently averted.
Germany's complete backdown was made conditional
on the success of efforts it urges America to make to
force Great Britain to observe fully the principles of in
ternational law.
Germany fully concedes President Wilson's contention
that in the future no merchantmen, whether freight or
nnsspnopr liners, shall be sunk without warning, either
within or without the war zone around the British Isles
nnlpss t.hpv resist or attempt to escape. Wilson has al
ready conceded the German right to sink ships under such
conditions.
Rnhn-mvinp rnmmanders have already received new
orders, meeting fully the demands made. The government j
expresses implicit confidence that these orders will be ex-;
prmfprl in (rnnd faith. !
