GERMAN REPLY IS SATISFACTORY
Carranza Ratifies Agreement With Obregon
FIRST PART GERMAN REPLY
REPORTED DISAPPOINTING
WASHINGTON, D. C. May 5.—
The unofficial reports of the first
part of tho German note are very
disappointing. It is now expected
that the full version will be received
before Sunday according to Secre
tary Lansing himself.
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 5.—
Attorney General Gregory says that
the men behind the movement de
luging the administration with tele
grams, letters and circulars oppos
ing a break with Germany are
known to the Department of Justice
and it is a wholly foreign plan to in
fluence American public opinion.
The officials are daily flooded
with an inundation of these tele
grams.
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 5.—
It cannot be said as earlier reports
indicated that the German note is
unsatisfactory to the United States.
On the contrary Germany shows
every indication of conceding what
has been demanded by the United
States government.
The reply for example declares
that the naval forces of the Imperial
German government have been given
orders not to sink within or without
the naval war zone merchant ships
without warning and without saving
lives unless the ships attempt to
escape or offer resistance,
j The note requests action against
| tho Allies citing instances where
international law has been violated.
Only with referonce to the re
servations can any American objec
tion be lodged.
BERLIN, May 5.—It is here in
official circles felt certain that the I
German note will satisfy Wilson. j

REPORT OF GENERAL FRENCH
LONDON, May 5.—Field Marshal

tion today intimates that “the si
tuation in Ireland has again re
turned t< normal conditions with the
country tranquil”.
The heavy censorship that pre

in escaping.

portions of Wicklow are still at
large in considerable numbers,
especially among the Wicklow hills
where police and soldiers are system
atically beating the sides for them.
Occasional brushes with these are
reported with two fatalities recora

James Sweeney and Josoph M’Nulty
who took part in the Dublin fight.
