A Night GERMANY AGREES TO CHANGE mHOD OF U-BOAT WARFARE Daniels-Fiske Quarrel I^ikely T o Start Probe Washington. May 5. ? The possi bility that a naval court of Inquiry may bo the outcome of the quarrel between Rear Admiral Bradley A. Flake and Secretary of the Navy Daniels was widely discussed today. Secretary Danlesl now has before him the letter of Rear Admiral FIske made public today by the Seratej Naval Affairs Committee, In which the Admiral substantially accuses the Secretary of misstatements. Navy Department officials indicate that if Secretary Daniels desires to be vindicated there should be h court of inquiry to determine wheth er Admiral Fiske has violated navy regulations or Is guilty of conduct j unbecoming an officer. Another suggestion todRy w?.s that the Senate might conduct an I inquiry. Guilty of Sniping. In making public the letter. Sena tor Tillman, chairman of the Naval Affairs Committee, a&serted Admiral Flake has been guilty of "sniping or guerilla warfare." I "It would be easy to show from ! official records," said Senator Till man on the floor of the Senate, "how unreasonable and un justifiable Hear Admiral Fiske's utterances and attitude are. The Secretary of the Nary has nothing to conceal and courts an Investigation if one is de manded. "Therefore, I aak that Admiral Fiske's letter be published in the Record su that all many judge how little there really is to his utter ance except malice and wounded vanity. "Disappointed ambition, too, has hod much to do with his conduct. He has brooded over what he supposes jto be hir. wrosgs untlt he seeniB to (bc obsessed, and really I feel very sorry for him." Defended l?y Lodge. "Admiral Flake Is an officer of the highest rank, who has an unblem ished career In the navy," said Sen ator Lodge. "Ho is engaged in no ^ '?n I ping, guerilla warfare, but has i the desire that every honorable man h?B to protect Ills own reputation I for truthfulness." That. I think, ho I has a complete right to do. | . "The facts can be easily defer | mined when they are laid before the | Senate. 1 do not wish to Bee an in justice done to a distinguished and patriotic officer." Answering Secretary Daniels' statement that he was "greatly sur prised" la learn of the existence of Fiske's report en naval unprepared Incss, the Admiral said in his letter to the Senate: "This statement constituted an accusation against me of a grave breach of official propriety ? in fact of actual undprhandednesn. of an at tempt to conceal an Important lei jter from the Secretary, while as a matter of fact. I was always scrupu . lousiy careful ne\er to permit him 1 to receive or to remain under any I mistaken impression, or to he In Ignorance of any important matter, . If I could prevent It. ' "1 respectfully request permission It o appear before such persona as you may designate and state facts which I and other officers remember I very clearly, and which are noted in my diary, showing there has been a J lapse of memory on the part of the , Secretary."

DEMANDS THAT ENGLAND ABIDE BY THE LAWS CONCEDES FULLY TO WTLAON'8 CONTENTION HEG.%RIMNG MERCHANTMEN AND FREIGHTER#. FREEDOM OF THE SEAS ASSURED Nolo Repeatedly Inalat* Ttiat the United 8t*tos Call England to Hook for Violation.* of the Inter national Law in the Past. (By United Press) Berlin, May 5. ? Germany has yielded practically every demand WUson made regarding a complete cliangc of Germany'* submarine warfare. Every pos aiblllty .of a diplomatic break apparently been averted. Ger many concedes fully to Wilson1* contention that no merchant man, passenger or freighter shall be sunk without warning either within or without the war zone unless they offer resist* ance or attempt to escape. It ?ays that it expects the United States to bring England to terms and If this cannot be done, "reserves the right to liberty of action." New York, May 5. ? The text of he German reply, received by wlre from Berlin today. Indicates In ta early portions, a temporizing answer to America's demands that ? present submarine warfare be dis continued if diplomatic relations between two nations bo maintained." The reply declined to admit the torpedoing of the Sussex and de clared that Germany "must emphat ically repudiate the assertion that the German government thinks It of little avail to enter into details in the present stage of affairs. The note adds: "More particularly as the l.'nitod States omitted to substan tiate the assertion by reference to concrete facta." Germany expressea implicit confl uence In the good faith of naval of cera in carrying out submarine In structions. The note also po'.ntedly jemhpaaizea Eng'and'a "violations of international law" and exprcasea regret that America haa not taken steps to bring England to %>ook aa ahe haa Germany. It reiterates statements ?>f prev ious notes to I he effect that Germany stands ready to observe the princi ples of international law fully If England will also indicate her wll I'.ngneaa to abandon starvation and other allied Illegal methods of war fare. It says that If the investiga tion now progressing shows that a German submarine torpedoed tho Sussex, fullest amends will be made. It also declares that Germany frequently proposed suggestions that If adopted, would minimize the dan gers of travelers on ships, but "un fortunately the United States de cided not tp accept the proposals." i It again declares that Great Brit ain. and not Germany, by Ignoring all of the accepted ru'es &f Inter i national law. extended the terrible war tp* lives and property of non combatants. | As maters now aland. Germany I cannot bat reiterate the rennet that the sentiment of humanly which America exenfis with such fer^er to the unhappy victims of submarine warfare were not extended with the sama ferver to the many millions of women and children, who. accord ing to the avowed intention 4t Brit ain. ahall be starved. thereby fare , ihg the victorious armiei of the e*a?
