Momentous Gathering of Heads of German Nation at
Grand Army Headquarters Concessions Will Not Be

and Navy Chiefs With the Emperor Congress More
Optimistic Warning to Americans to Keep Off Ves
sels Which Do Not Adhere to United States' Terms
Will Head Off Possibility of Further Warning Reso
lutions Being Introduced, It's Thought
(By Carl W. Ackerman)
Berlin, Apr. 27. The crisis in the German
American situation has virtually passed. There
will be no rupture, it is predicted on developments
to date. The United Press is able to make this
statement on most excellent authority.
Berlin, Apr. 27. A momentous conference with the
continuance of friendly relations with America in the
balance, is in progress at the Grand Army Headquart
cers, where the Kaiser today received the views of Chan
cellor Betham-Holweig, General Staff Chief Falkan
hayn and Chief of the Admiralty Staff Holtzendorff. It
is generally understood that Germany will not fully meet
President Wilson's demands but will make concessions
sufficient to prevent a break.
Congress Hopeful Since Issuing of Memorandum.
Washington, Apr. 27. Hope for a peaceful settle
ment of the German submarine situation increased in
Congress today following Lansing's memorandum de
fining the proper activities of armed merchantmen and
submarines, and warning Americans to keep off those
which do not adhere to the terms named. It was also be
lieved the memorandum would head off any future warn
ing resolutions in Congress.
(By R. J. Bender)
Washington, Apr. 26. Optimism prevailing in Wash
ington pending the German negotiations comes "from
thin air," according to a high official. The danger of
overconfidence was again today warned against. It was
pointed out that Gerard's cables merely have contained
resumes of German newspapers' editorial opinion, and
not his own nor opinions he believes the German officials
hold.
.Warning of Freighters Big Question.
(By Carl W. Ackerman)
Berlin, Apr. 26.- WHson's demand that German sub
marines warn freighters as well as passenger liners con
stitutes the most serious obstacle in the way of a settle
ment, it is said. Other points in the controversy, it is
believed, can be settled without trouble. The feeling is
growing here that there will be no break.
Embassy Now Indifferent Over Taking of Von Igel
Papers.
Washington, Apr. 26. Ambassador Von Bernstorff's
return from New York today was marked by a complete
change of attitude at the Embassy regarding the seizure
of the now famous Von Igel papers. The new attitude
is one of calm indifference. The whole question is now
considered a legal matter simply, to be handled by law
yers. If it be shown, however, that Von Igel is guilty of
improprieties as an embassy attache, which, of course,
is not admitted, the embassy takes the view that he will
be recalled, as were Von Papen and Boyed.
Memorandum on Armed Merchantmen.
Washington, Apr. 26. America's attitude on the arm
ed merchantment question was made clear this after
noon in a memorandum from the State Department. The
publication is for the purpose of defining clearly what
the President meant when he demanded that Germany
abandon the "present methods" of submarine warfare.

part. A young man was named. A
doctor said that he had refused to

A SAVING YOU
WHAT DDKS IT MEAN to you to be told that Titan engines burn
kerosene? Not much, does it? Yet because of that fact, you would
make the mistake of your life if you bought any other engine.
Gasoline and kerosene engines bui;n about .the same amounts
of fuel. .Gasoline now costs, in most places, over 100 per cent, more
than kerosene.
A GH. P. engrne, gasoline or kerosene, burns 700 to 800 gallons
of fuel in 1,000 hours' work. At present average prices, 700 gallons
of gasoline would cost you about. $175, while 800 gallons of kerosene
costs but $f)f) or thereabouts.
A Titan 6 H. PJ engine, burning kerosenewould therefore save you
somewhere around ?70 a year. N". do you realize' what a startling
statement that is? Titan engine- '.urn kerosene. See me before you
buy any other engine. Prices ri it and terms to suit you.
