Gerard's Advices Considered
More Optimistic. Confidential
Dispatches From Ambassadbr
Gerard Received LasJ'TNifeht
Indicate that Germany Will
Make Concessions to the Unit
ed States in Response to the
American Note Demanding an
Immediate -Abandonment of
the Present Methods of Sub-
marine Warfare.
Washington, April 24. Confi
dential dispatches from Ambassa
dor Gerard at Berlin indicate that
Germany will make certain con
cessions to-the United States in
response to the note, demanding
the immediate abandonment of
present methods of submarine
warfare.
Whether the concessions will be
sufficiently broad to meet the
American demand appears uncer
tain. However, officials reflected
an air of hopefulness for an ami
cable settlement of the issue.
It is understood Ambassador
Gerard has received broad intima
tion that the German, government
will go to great length to preserve
friendly relations with the United
States. He is understood to have
gaiued his impression from the
officials of the; Berlin foreign office
including the foreign minister.
, The Berlin government is con
fronted with finding a way to satis
fy the United States without a
rousing the elements which hsi&ts
u pon a relentless submarine cam
paign.
Mr. Gerard's dispatches are of
a highly confidential nature and
were received during the night. ,
It was a real pleasu re to have a
call from Mr. M. Dv M. Calton,
of Gal toliha Farm, on Monday.
He informs us that they are cut
ting large., quantities of lumber
