Berlin, April 22, 10 a. m., via Lon- don, 4:45 p. m.—Germany’s answer to the latest American note is likely to be delayed by some parleys and re- quests for further information on certain points, according to the Lokal : Anzeiger, which says it learns that the note is a decidedly long one and | that it will be examined with German thoroughness. The American note is now in the hands of Emperor William, Chancel- lor Von Bethmann-Hollweg and Geo. Von Falkenhayn, chief of the general staff at general headquarters. Expect Answer Next Week. ‘Washington, April 22,—With official word that the American note had. been presented to the Berlin foreign of- fice, administration officials today mo- mentarily expected definite advices from Ambassador Gerard as to how the corimunication was received, to- gether with some indication as to the nature of the German reply. In reporting the delivery of the note late Thursday afternoon Ambas- sador Gerard advised the state depart- ment that he had afterwards con- ferred briefly with Foreign Minister Von Jagow. The contents of another message from the ambassador was . closely guarded, although it is said that he informed the department that assurances had been given him of im- mediate consideration of the docu- ment. Some officials indicated that they look for a reply from Germany by the middle of next week. Count Von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, who is away on a brief trip, is not expected to return until Monday unless important dispatches regarding the submarine issue are received at the embassy before that time. It is known that he has ad- vised his government to modify its submarine warfare to meet America’s latest demands. Clemc Approves Note. Paris, April 8:25 a. m.—Unqual- ified admiration of President Wilson’s message to Berlin on the submarine issue is expressed by Georges Cle- menceau in his newspaper, L'Homme Sibre. In an extended analysis of the message, M. Clemenceau says: “What strikes one above all in this piece of world diplomacy which the chief of the American republic has submitted to the national rep- resentatives, is its fine, impassive ob- jectivity, neither complaints nor re- crimination. Facts. No signs of lit- erature, contrary to what we have seen ‘the case of other countries, nothing, too, of the learned lawyer by happy surprise. Simply strong words of a statesman. “The right, the august imprescrip- tible right, which the Pilgrim fathers of the Mayflower brought from Eu- rope their sons are bringing back to us under a shield of iron forged oy their own strong hands. “Hail to you , American citizens who march into the history of Europe under a great arch on the front of which Washington, Jefferson and so many others have carved the noblest claims of humanity. “What the Kaiser may decide to do is unimportant. Withdrawal or bombast—it will all be the same in the end.” ceau 22 MOTORCYCLIST HURT. New Britain Man Thrown from Wheel Tn Plainville. (Spectal to the Herald.)

Pittsburgh, April 22—The Westing- house Electric and Manufacturing company’s shops at East Pittsburgh, where a strike for an eight hour day was inaugurated yesterday, were closed today. The company’s manage- ment s$tated that the workmen’'s grievance committee which heretofore had conducted all negotiations for the men, had made no demand, and the company was in jgnorance officially as to what the strike was for. Recently an advance of ten per cent. was grant- ed throughout the works. The company employed 18,000 hands and was engaged in filling large war orders, as well as upon its ordin- ary products for domestic consump- tion. Only about 5,000 men reported for work this morning. Leaders of the strike announced they would organize a parade at noon ot visit the other towns in the Turtle Creek Valley in an attempt to bring out the workmen in factories which do not recognizc the eight hour day. If they succeed, they sald, they would have 28,000 men on strike by night. movement Springfield, Mass,, April 22.—One hundred machinists and toolmakers quit work at the East Springfield plant of the New England Westing- house company this morning, joining about 200 who struck several days ago. HUNGARIAN PRESS 13 CLAMORING FOR PEACE Fears Germany Will Swallow Their Country at End of War. London, April 22, 5:35 a. m.—The Daily Telegraph’s Milan correspon- dent says that a significant symptom regarding the Hapsburg Monarchy ir shown by an outburst of the Hun- garian newspapers in favor of peace. Premier Asquith’s speech regarding peace conditions, the despatch says, has been commended by Hungarians, who are anxious on account of Ger- man aggressiveness respecting smaill rationalities at the end of tthe war. In connection with the visit to Berlin made by Baron Burian, Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, it is suggested that Germany proposed the Hapsburg monarchy should be divided into small autonomous states, presumably so that they may be more casily swallowed up by Germany. The Slav nationalities, it is hinted, are 1o be given the minimum of liberty, Galicia also receiving autonomy. The correspondent says that the Hungarians have taken umbrage feeling that their turn would come next and that the Magyars would thus succumb to German predomi- nance. SOUND STEAMERS ARE TIED UP BY STRIKE Transportation Company Not Receiv- ing Freight at Either End of Line —Trouble May Spread. Hartford, April 22.—The Hartford and New York Transportation com- pany’s steamers are tied up by a union seamen’'s and firemen’s strike called just before 5 o’clock Friday af- ternoon. The steamer Hartford was unable to leave her pier Friday and the Middletown, which left here Fri- day afternoon and reached New York this morning will be unable tn leave today. The company gave no. tice at noon that it was not receiving freight for shipment at either end ot the route. Providence, Hartford and Bridgeport lines are affected by the strike. The Hartford line steamers each carry six of these seamen and six fire. men. Manager Charles C. Goodrich sald that although each steamer had n crew of seventy-five men it was not allowed to leave port even one man short and could not pick up non-union seamen and firemen to take the places of the strikers. He said the pay of the men was advanced at their own re- quest to $45 ten days ago and now they want $50 to $55. He expected a strike would be declared on other lines be- fore the day was over.

Franz Von Papen, recalled German military at- tache, will not be restored to the Ger- man embassy until Count Von Bern- storff returns to Wshington from a week-end trip. Count Von Bernstorff will be asked to distinguish between the official and personal matter in the documents. It was not believed today that ihe German embassy would agree to this procedure, contending there is no au- thority for the removal of papers of any kind from the person or posses- sion of a diplomatic ageat.

Investigation “Furthered.” Inspector Faurot and his men re- | turned from West Point at midnight last night, declaring that the inves- | tigation had been “furthered” and that he was satisfied with the result, but declining to answer at first a question as to whether a body had been found. It was stated that the inquiry would be continued at West | Point by the New York detectives. The house where the body is said to have been recovered fits the descrip- tion of that mentioned in Glennoris’ story. It is now owned by a New York banker and has not been regu- larly occupied for about ten years. It lies two miles south of West Point and is in an isolated locality.
