Believed All Danger of Diplomatic HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH LXXXV— No. 103 TEXT STRENGTHENS BELIEF THAT BREAK HAS BEEN AVERTED Authentic Version, Fully Decoded Is Placed Before Presi dent Wilson; Shows No Material Difference From Reply Already Published REFERENCE TO U. S. PEACE TERMS CAREFULLY CONSIDERED; MAY MAKE BRIEF ANSWER Will Indicate That So Long as New Orders to Submarine Commanders Are Fully Observed Relations Will Not Be Severed on That Score By Associated Press , ■Washington. D. C., May <">. The official text of German's note, fully decoded and laid before President Wilson shows no material difference, from the unofficial text published yes- j terday in news dispatches. This strengthens the probability that a diplomatic break lias been averted, at least for the present. Overnight study of the note by; Cabinet members and officials did not; change their views that probably there would be no break in diplomatic rela tions unless there were further at tacks In violation of international law. There is a possibility that the Untied States may make a brief reply notify ing the Berlin government that as long as the new orders to submarine commanders are fully observed diplo-j matic relations will not be discon- j tinucd on that score. Secretary Lansing already has Studied the note once and was goinE over it very carefully again to-day. There were indications that further consideration by the cabinet would not he necessary. Carefully Heads I'oac*- Portion President Wilson read to-day with: careful attention the portion of the j note touching on peace. Some officials believed unusual significance should be attached to that part of the nole because it was taken to indicate offl cially that recent speeches of Chan i eller von Rethtnann-Hollweg before the relchstag were intended as no tices to the world that Germany was ready for peace on certain terms. The note says: "The German gov- i ernment, conscious of Germany's \ strength, twice within the last few months announced before the world it.; readiness to make peace on a basis j ■safeguarding Germany's vital interests.' thus indicating it is not Germany's fault if peace is still withheld from the nations of Europe." While it was indicated to-day that | President Wilson would make no fur ther peace moves until the allied gov ernments have signified their willing ness to receive suggestions on the sub ject. some officials thought 10-day (he German note might possibly draw forth something from the allies. Here Are the Demands of the United States and Way Germany Has Met Them The specific demands of the United r.afes and the manner in which Ger many meets them are as follows: The United Slates I Minimum If it Is still the purpose of the Im perial Government to prosecute re ientlesa and indiscriminate warfare against vessels of commerce by the use of submarines without regard to What the Government of the United Slates must consider the sacred and indisputable rules of international law and the universally recognised dictates of humanity, the Govern ment. of the United States is at last forced to the conclusion that ihere is but one course it can pursue. Unless the Imperial Government should now Immediately declare and effect an abandonment of its present methods of submarine warfare against passenger and freight-carrying vessels, the Government of the United Stales "•an have no choice but to sever diplo matic relations with the German Em pire altogether. Again and again the Imperial Gov ernment. has given its solemn assur ance to the Government of the United States that at least passenger ships would not be thus dealt with, and yet it has repeatedly permitted its under sea commanders to disregard those assurances with entire impunity.
