CRONIN'S CASE IS
NOT DETERMINED
Philadclphian Was Suspended
Fortnight Ago According
to Reports
Reports that John C. 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.

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.

The tenor of the German reply was'

very large attendance of members on
the floor of the Exchange and the

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.

Nationalists Will Ask For
Disarmament of Ireland
By Associated Press
London, May 5. The Irish Na
tionalist members of the House of
Commons will ask the government to
secure the complete disarmament of
j Ireland. The Nationalist, volunteers
are willing to hand in their arms it
the measure is made general. That
the situation in Ireland is still serious
is shown by letters from the bishop
of Dublin, published in this morning's
papers In which he writes:
"Martial law should not be too
quickly withdrawn from Dublin. The
danger which has been much greater
than the government will admit is by
no means past. Many armed rebels
still are at large In Dublin and the
danger of another uprising can only
j be averted by the most strict meas
| ures. This is not the time for
I amnesties or pardons. It Is a tinio
for swift, stern punishment."
