PASSED UNANIMOUSLY
BY STATE SENATE
DEiRLIN, May 19.
Forecasting the eply to be mads to the
American note, the semi-official Vosslche
Zeltung states today that Germany will
make three Important counter. demands
on the United States as follows!
First. That It shall Insist upon Drltlih
merchant vessels abandoning the use of
false flags.
Second. That It shall Insist upon Eng
land's ceasing to arm merchant vessels.
Third. That It shall Insist upon Eng.
land refraining from carrying contraband
of war upon vessels which have American
passengers on board,
If America does these things," the
Nosslscho Zeltung adds, '"America will
find Germany on Its Bide In the endeavor
to lead submarine wnrfaro Into humane
chnnnels. If America falls to Influence
Great Britnln, America will have to put
up with submarine wnrfaro."
The Cologne Gazette says thnt tho
American note cannot be expected to
sway tho German government a hair's
breadth from tho plans formed after ripe
consideration, while the Berlin Tngeblntt
saya that tho submnrlno campaign will
be continued nn n matter of course.
Hcrr von Jngow, Foreign Secretary, to
dav submitted to Von Ucthninnn-Hollweg
a first draft of the reply to tho American
note on Riibmarlno warfare. Thn Chan
cellor suggested sonic changes nnd the
revised draft will be presented to n minis

The repl.v will probably be Issued Friday

non-entry of Italy Into the I3urope,an con
flict might have an Important bcnrlng on
tho tenor of the Ocrman reply.
That Germany will delay reply to tho
Wilson noto is regarded as certain hero
, for two reasons:
First, If Itnly enter tho war, the Kaiser
would be confronted with an entirely new
military situation. Involving cutting off
of supplies through tho Mediterranean
nnd hurling tho big Italian army and
navy into the war pit.
Hecond, the Interim of delay will re
veal whether tho United States Is pre
paring a protest to the AlIleB on the In
terference, largely by Great Britain, with
American commerce between this country
and tho neutral ports of Europe.
The report that thhi Government has In
contemplation the transmission of a
strong note of protest to Great Britain
Is given credenco here,
A note from this Government to Groat
Britain, seeking a modification of the
order In council, It Is believed, would con
vince the German Government that the
United States a determined to be equally
Insistent upon the respect of Its shipping
rights by Great Britain as by Germany.
GERMAN SUBMARINES CALLED
OFF, VIEW IN WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON, May 19.
From a discussion of tho report that
the Anchor Lino steamer Transylvania
had been unsuccessfully attacked by a
German submarine off northern Ireland,
developed unexpectedly the news that the
German Government has ordered sub
marine warfare, against merchantmen
suspended pending negotiations with the
United States. In spite of several recent
Instances ,of submarine attacks on mer
chantmen,' It was credited here today that
Instructions had been Issued from Berlin
which ought to prevent a recurrence of
the Lusltanla disaster. It Is understood
that the German Kmbassy ia aware of
the suspension of the submarine cam
paign and that Us members were greatly
surprised to hear of the reported narrow
escape of the, Transylvania,
ft Is not surprising that the German
Government, In view of the difficulties
surrounding any attempt, on its part to
pacify neutral sentiment, should have
taken steps to avoid any further friction
with neutral nations. If tha- Transylva
nia were attacked. It Is assumed by those
who ought to know what the German
Governriient's Intentions are that the sus
pension notice from Berlin simply failed

Resolution to Have 24 Council
men Accompany Relic to San
Francisco and Back Signed.
Mayor Blankennurg allayed all fears
of tho "lucky 21" Councllmnn that the
merry Junket to San Francisco with tha
Liberty Bell might stop short of rcaltty.
Ho signed tho resolution adopted by
Councils transferring the theoretical cus
tody of the national rcllo from tho Bu
reau of City 1'ioperty to the Special Joint
Councilmanlo Committeo In charge of the
excursion to the Panama-Pacific Inter
national Exposition.
The resolution automatically transforms
the old bell from a relic of rather abstract
and sentimental value to a genuine asset,
recognized as a certificate for at least M
round trip Councilmanlo tickets to' tho
-Ity of the Golden Gate and for all meals
en route and Innumerable perquisites and
emoluments for the Junketing party.
There were such gravo misgivings
among the Councllmen comprising the
"lucky 21," that the Mayor might veto the
resolution that not n single definite con
tract concerning the details of the trip
has been even verbally made, Now all is
rosy In the minds of the committee and
the vista of the great West Is opening
before them. They declare the Mayor
Is now committed td the trip thut will
cost the city of Philadelphia at least
J10O.00O before the bell Is again in In
dependence Hall, either whole or in
pieces.
