Cronin, of Philadelphia, long prominent in labor matters in Philadelphia, had been dis missed or asked to resign as a mem ber of the State Industrial Board could not be confirmed here to-day, but it was admitted at the office of the Gov a ernor that Cronin's case was being considered. For some time there have been ru mors that the State authorities were dissatisfied with the manner in which Cronin was handling work assigned to him, especially on standards and some two weeks ago he was placed in what amounts t6 a state of suspension as far as connection with the State government is concerned. Yesterday he was given a hearing on the matter by the Governor, but no one present would discuss it then or to-day. In quiries regarding the matter were met with the statement that there was nothing to say at present and in qurers were referred to Mr. Cronin.

Under no circumstances will his de partment or any department of the State government be permitted to be come embroiled in any political ma neuvering." I There have been rumors ever since 4 the death of the late Highway Com- ! missioner that his department, whose activities extend to every part of the State, would be involved in the fac tional disturbance, as men identified with the Brumbaugh campaign had intimated that the department was | riot, giving them any help.

Frank DELAY, EVASION AND SUSPICION HAS MARKED A EXCHANGES DURING LAST YEAR By Associated Prest j Washington. May 5. Germany's diplomatic correspondence with the ! I'nited States on the submarine Issue lias extended over nearly a year and lias been characterized by delay, evasion and even suspicions of In sincerity which more than once have brought the two countries to a pass where the long expected break seemed unavoidable. All along Preeident Wilson has spoken primarily for the Inviolable rights of Americans and s generally for the rights of neutrals. Germany has been restrained by a powerful sentiment aroused against curtailing the effectiveness of her best weapon against her enemies and President Wilson has been em barrassed first by dissension in the cabinet and later in Congress and by I pro-German propaganda conducted throughout the United States. lAisitunia Started Trouble Submarine warfare did not actually | enter the realm of diplomacy until i after the destruction of the Lusltania. The accumulation of cases affecting' Americans was taken up in the Hrst note to Germany which was dis patched May 15, 1915. It character-, ized the attacks on the Falaha, Crush ing, Gultllght and Uusttanla, as a series of events, which the United States has observed with growing concern, distress and amazement. It pointed to Germany's hitherto ex pressed "humane and enlightened at tHude" in matters of international right and expressed the hope that submarine commanders engaged in torpedoing peaceful ships without warning were In such practices oper ating without the sanction of their government. The note closed with these words: First limHtlnfaelory On May 2K, 1915, Germany replied with H note which coverd a wide range of argument and was in evry respeet unsatisfactory. While the American reply to was be ing framed, dissension in the aabinet resulted In the resignation of Secre tary Bryan. Meanwhile, several sensational inci dents cropped up in connection with the negotiations, ohief of which was the sending of a message to the Ber lin Foreign Office by Dr. Dumba, the Austrian abassador later recalled at the request of President Wilson, which was represented as stating substantial ]y that Mr, Bryan had intimated to the ambassador that the vigorous tone of the American notes should not be re garded in Berlin as too warlike. Secretary ].ansing took office as Mr. Bryan's suocessor and his reply to the Oertnan note took Issue with every contention Germany had set up in the Falaba and L.usitania cases. To that note, Germany did not reply until July 8 and the Herman rejoinder came no nearer to meeting the Amer ican contentions than did the former German note. In fact it discussed al most everything else including the Declaration of I>ondon, the British food blockade of Germany, the sowing of British mines, the freedom of the seas and made a counter proposal that both countries agree upon a certain num ber of neutral passenger steamers for traffic between the United States and Europe. To that, the United States replied on July 21 that the German note was "very unsatisfactory" because it failed to meet "the real differences between the two governments." Meanwhile the Arabic was sunk on August 19. On September 1 came the first rift In the threatening situa tion. Count Von Bernstorff presented this written assurance to Secretary Lansing; (tttve Assurances "l<iners will not be sunk by our sub marines without warning and without safety of noncoinbatents, provided that the liners do not try to escape or of fer resistance." More hopefulness was added to the situation whan on October A, the Ara bic case was disposed of by Germany disavowing the sinking, A favorable settlement of the long and threatening controversy seemed to he In sight when all the progress that had been made WBH reduced to nothing by Germany's declaration of a new submarine polioy of sinking without warning all armed merchant ships. That precipitated a new situation so vitally interwoven with the whole structure of the Lusitanla case that i* i ■ THOMPSON MARTIN ! Palmer, president, the Rev. E. E. j Curtis, ge'neral chairman of the con | vention committee, spoke on the com | ing State convention. He said: "The j State C. E. convention will meet In the i Chestnut street hall, this city, In July, j That will not be a political convention but a C. E. gathering. No political \ convention would dare meet In this city at that time. That is the time | for C. E. workers to meet. The ses- I slon will be held In the Chestnut j street hall, Reformed Salem, Market 1 Square Presbyterian and a number of other churches. Nine denominations are interested in the convention work. Three thousand delegates are expected jtobe In attendance. Many denomina tional rallies will be held on next i Thursday evening when programs | boosting the convention will be ren j dered. The pastors of the city churches will be xirged to preach spe cial sermons on the convention some time in June. The ushers who served last evening were Messrs. Charles S. Urich, Ross H. Derrick, Millard Hess, John E. McCullough. Harry S. Pressler, E. W. Stout, Lewis Krayblll, George E. Troup and Mr. Swartz. President Wilson declined to close the Lusitanla settlement while the other issue was pending, and there the whole matter rested while the German sub marine warfare was continued and new cases Involving loss of American lives piled up. Finally the accumulation of evidence assumed such proportions with the de struction of the Sussex that President Wilson, convinced that assurances given in the I„usltania and Arabic cases were being violated, dispatched an other note to Germany and went be fore Congress reviewing the entire situation from the beginning and made this declaration: Must Abandon Warfare "I have deemed It my duty to say to the Imperial German government that If It Is still its purpose to prose cute relentless and Indiscriminate war fare, the government of the United States is at last forced to the conclu sion that there is but one course it can pursue; and that, unless the Im perial government should now. Imme diately, declare and effect an abandon ment of Its present methods of war fare against passenger and' freight carrying vessels, tills governent can have no choice but to sever diplomatic relations altogether."

SEVER RELATIONS . , WITH GERMANY fContinued l-'rom First PiMpo] and tuning told Germany tlint It cannot discuss with her Ha nego tiations with Great Britain, lias no course but to lireak diplomatic relations with Germany. While the general tone of the Ger man noto created an unfavorable Im pression, officials took the position that the language was Immaterial If the guarantees wore real. Germany's declaration that she has Issued new orders to submarine com manders not to attack without warn ing "merchant vessels recognized by International law" was considered the chief point. The German view of mer chant vessels as defined In Its decla ration of February 8 of Its purpose to sink armed ships without warning and the American views us defined in the armed ship memorandum made pub lic recently differ In several points. Home officials believe that for this reason the controversy had now come •o the point where Germany's future action would determine the course of the United States. The refusal of the German govern ment to openly admit the attack on the Sussex was considered only inci dental to the main Issue. Until President Wilson himself de cides whether the German note Is ac ceptable, there will bo no announce ment of the attitude of the govern ment.

Cabinet Members Indicate That Germany's Assurances Will Probably Be Accepted By Associated Press Washington, May 5. While final decision on the attitude of the Amer ican government waits on the official text some cabinet members Indicated that the German assurances probably would be acepted and that diplomatic relations would not be broken unless the order to submarine commanders was violated and American lives en dangered. The Cabinet was in session two hours and a half—the longest meet ing held for several months. Members of the cabinet were un communicative, all saying that no further steps would be taken until the official test was placed before President Wilson. The private view of officials ap parently was that the new orders to submarine commanders met the de mands of the United States unless an interpretation were placed on them to lead to an attack on merchant vessels armed for defensive purposes. The general tenor of the German note, however, was considered unsatisfac tory. There was some disposition among the President's advisers to be lieve no drastic steps will be taken unless the new orders to submarine commanders are violated- or modified. As the Cabinet members left the White House several indicated their view that the United States would have to wait and see whether the new orders to submarine commanders | were carried out.

Details of the ' sinking of the Ralian steamship Josef i Agost Folierozeg, formerly an Aus trian vessel, by a German submarine on April 23, when 150 miles off Land s , End, England, and the rescue of the crew from open boats bv the Nor wegian steamship Pythia were related , by officers of the Pythia on the latter's arrival here to-day from London. The Josef Agost, according to the Pythla's officers, was first sighted about two miles ahead and at about the same time a submarine was seen.
