RERUN. April 27.
A momentous conference, with the con
tinuance of "friendly relntlons between the
United .Stntes and Germany In the bal
ance, was In progress today at grnnd
army, hindquarters.
The Kalsor received the views of Chan
cellor von Dethmann-Hollweg. General
Falkenhayn, chief of the General Stnft of
the army, and Admiral von Holtzcndorrf,
chief of the Admiralty Stnff. lie lacked
only further word from Washington, ex
pected through Ambassador Gerard before
many hours, defining more accurately the
American submarine demnnda,
With the return of the Chancellor, It
Is expected the formal reply to the Amer
ican note will be Immediately prepared
and handed to Ambassador Gerard for
transmission to Washington. Unless un
foreseen delays occur. It was stated at
the Foreign Office today, the reply wllT
be In Washington by Monday.
All external Indications are -thnt the
crisis has passed and that there wild be
no break In the relations between Ger
many and tho United States. Analysis
of tho American note causes It to be
Viewed by German officialdom as less
stringent than the first hasty perusal and
Advance bulletins had Indicated.
It Is tho general understanding hero
that Germany will not meet fully Presi
dent, Wilson's demnnd In the reply to be
forwarded In Washington early next week.
How far Gormany' will go no one pre
tends to know, .but well-Informed Berlin'
newspapers believe the Germnn conces
sions will sulTlco to prevent a diplomatic
break,
Tho Tngebjatt today declared that Am
bassador Cforard Is convinced, ns a result
of his conference with the .Chancellor,
that Germany Is. honestly 'striving to

Through both Ambassad6r Gerard Arid
Ambassador Bernstorff the German Gov
ernment Is attempting to obtain a more
definite statement of President Wilson's
position before replying to the American
note. Bernstorff has been Instructed to
make a detailed report as soon ns pos
sible. The official news agency has circulated
throughout Germany excerpts from news
papers In nil sections of the United States
Indicating almost unanimous approval of
president Wilson's firm stand. This was
done obviously to silence those critics
of the German Government who Insist
that President Wilson Is bluffing and lacks
popular support.

Views of America and Ger
many Brought Closer
in Memorandum
CONCEDES BERLIN POINT
WASHINGTON V AITS WORD
FROM BERLIN; NO RETREAT
FROM U-BOAT DEMANDS
WASHINGTON, Aprl'l 27.
With i German officials In Washington
and American officials In Berlin doing,
their utmost to nvold a rupture between
the United States' and' Germany on tlie
TJ-boat nutation, the general situation
was unchanged today. Ambassador Ger.
ird has Informed this Government of the
"t.pfoeresa being made and some official
word from, the German Foreign Office Is
.expected on Its way to Washington by
Saturday,
President Wilson has been Informed
Ambassador von Bernstorff Is striving to
bring about a satisfactory adjustment of
the difficulties Involving tho two nations.
This knowledge has had a favorable effect
upon all of the President's official family,
In discussing von Bernstorffs atttude In
the prtsnt crisis', one official said today;
"There Is no question that the Ger
man Ambassador Is very anxious to
, avoid a break. He will do all he can to
make possible the continuance of friendly
relations. He has done so In the 'past.
He Js In a very trying position, and his
work: Is appreciated."
So long as German officials seem to be
working vigorously to meet the President's
Mews. It Is believed unlikely that the
President will demand greater haste or
take any other action, for the present at
least, that might embarrass' the German
Foreign Office in Its work.
nils, however, tha Intention of the Ad
ministration not to make any additional
concessions to Germany, At the request
of the President, Senator Stone today In
formed the members of the Senate Forr
elgn Relations Committee that the United
States has rested Its whole case. It Is
willlpg to give Germany, plenty of time
tq consider Its action, but the demand
that present methods, of submarine war
fare against merchant ships shall be
abandoned and public announcement made
that this la the Intention of tha German
Government, wilrnot be be receded from
under any consideration. The" slightest

WASHINGTON. April 27.
The publication yesterday by the State
Department of a memorandum op tho
nttltude of the United Stntes toward
nrmed merchantmen quickly followed the
receipt of an Important dispatch from
Ambassador Q nrd at Berlin,
Tho memor's turn wns Interpreted by
close observers ns benrng directly on the
crisis with Germany, in Its ndvico to
traveling Americans it has the color of
a modified McLemore resolution,
The position of the United Stntes now
Is that itn 'nrmed belligerent merchantman
under Instructions to attack In nil cir
cumstances enemy navol vessels, or In
fluenced to do bo by offers of prize money
or penalties, loses Its status as a peaceable
merchant chip.
This is stated In tho following passage
from the memorandum:
In the event that merchant ships
of belllirtrent nationality are nrmed
and under commlitslon onorilrrs to at
tack In' alt circumstances nertaln

Continuing, Its stand on such vessels tho.
United .States asserts:
It should, therefore, be considered
as an nrmed public vesse) and re-,
celve the treatment of a warship.' by
an enemy anil Ity neutrals.
Any person tiiklnc passage on such
a vessel runnnt expect Immunity

nre on board n warship.
SUGGESTED BY GERARD,
The position tnken by this Government
Is regarded as favorable to the Oorman
contentions, and the announcement Is con
nlderrd to have a most Important bearing
mi the controversy between the United
Stntes and (iermuny.
The memorandum was prepared In
March by direction of President Wilson
and was originally Intended as a circular
note to the various governments. .Its
publication yesterday, It Is understood, Is
the direct result of a suggestion from Am
IinsHudor nerard, '
The statement is the first official de
claration of this government on the sub
Ject since September 19, 1914, when it
announced that merchant vessels might
carry guns up to six Inches In calibre for
defensive purposes only without taking on
the character of warships.
According to State Department officials,
the settlement of the acute Issue with (ler
munr depends In Uree measure on the
outcome of the diaries of the Herman
Government that British merchantmen
have been ordered to attack-enemy sub
marines. It has been charged by Ger
many that such Instructions were 'issued
secretly by the British Admiralty, nnrt
that prizes were offered in London to the
captains and crews of merchant ships for
tho destruction of German submarines.
REQUEST TO ENGLAND.
It was admitted, by Secretary of State
Lansing today that the United States has
made as second demand on Great Britain
to produce copies of her instructions to
merchantmen to determine whether she
has given mandatory orders In violation
of international law,
If the United States decides that Brit
ish merchantmen have received the In
structions, as charged by Germany, this

A country-wide Investigation of the
activities of anti-British Irish-Americans

Information pointing to the probable com
plicity of Irish-Americans in the Dublin
rebellion was transmitted from vnrlous

Issued which will result In tho surveillance

Separatists. Groups of Irish-Americans
both In New York and Washington have
been In close touch with the "Free Ire

Harry Chappelle, serving a sentence for
wife-murder In the Eastern Penitentiary,
died In that Institution from shock Inci
dental to scalds received last night while
making repairs to a caldron useif for cook
ing. According to. Warden Mclenty, Chap,
pelle's death was not due to'the burns.
which were dressed by the prison physi
cian and appeared to be trivial. He was
corking a rivet on the caldron and the
job was about completed. He asked that
steam be turned Into the caldron to ascer
tain if the rivet was tight.
The sudden Influx of the hot vapor Into
the cooled metal caused the ''dished" boU
torn of the caldron to swell upward, scat
tering the steam In all directions. Chap
pelle's hands and feet were splashed, but
otherwise he appeared to suffer no Injury.
Prompt treatment was administered at the
infirmary, and Chappelle's recovery In a
day or two wa expected. Less than an
hour after his admission he showed signs
of collapse and uleu within a few minutes.
Heart weakness la believed to have caused
his death, but the Coroner will make a
post-mortem examination.
Chappelle was admitted to the peniten
tiary on June SB, 1916, under a sentence
of not less than 14 and not more than )$
years, for second degree murder.
Qn September J 5. 191 J, Chappelle, then
living at 20S North Satford street, shot
and killed -hU wife, Millie, 3 yean old.
during a, quarrel at their breakfast table.
The woman ws shot in the heart and
right arm, dying instantly. After killing
her. Chappelle nred a bullet Into his fore

PARIS. April ST.
The German bombardment of the Ver.
dun front is increasing In violence, and it
is believed tha,t massed attacks, which
usually follow such a terrific cannonade.
wilt be launched tonight or tomorrow. It
is understood In Paris that, as May 6 Is
the birthday of Crown Prince Frederick
"William, the Kaiser Is' anxious to capture
Verdun by that date, or secure dominating
positions for the German troops that will
assure their final victory.
The official communique, Issued this aft
ernoon, reports only one Infantry attack
by the Germans. This was made In the
Vaux sector by small forces and was re
pulsed. '
According to the communique, the Ger
mans centred their bombardment last
night on tho French position!) near Avo
court and at Cote du Polvre (Pepper
Heights). These two points, situated on
the west and east banks of the Meuse
River, respectively, are key positions In
the defense of the French fortress.
The fighting during the nine days that
are to elapse before the Crown Prince
celebrates hi birthday Is expected to
surpass In fierceness all the sanguinary
conflicts that have marked previous Ger
man operations against Verdun. Immense
French forces, supported by Russian re
inforcements, have been concentrated to
meet the attack.

expected to recover,
Mrs. Coledy had filled a baby's iathtub
with the scalding water. Alexander Jr.,
Just 18 months old, was playing nearby.
He saw the steam rising from the little
tub and toddled over to'lt. His screams
attracted his mother, who was .getting
things ready for the Infant's bath ' Plung
ing her arms (nto the scalding water, she
lifted the baby out and ran to the street.
A sympathetic nefshhnf imimnr n
passing, automobile, and mother and child
wera miten 10 tne Jtoosevelt Hospital,
Dr. Frank Boston did all that was pos
sible for both the Infant and his mother.
Tha baby was scalded so severely that he

Coledy's arms were also scalded, and she
was compelled to remain at the hospital.
The father qf the child said today he
ureameu last night that the baby would
meet with death, For weeks he had been
worrying about tha Infant. Each day ha
cautioned his wife to keep a close watch

much Impressed with it, and followed
every move of the Infant closely.
It was when she. turned for an Instant
to get soma cold water for his bath that he
