NEW, BRITAIN .DAILY HPBRALD, TUESDAY, MAY 9, 1916. No String& Attached to Acceptance By America Germany’s New Submarine Policy Satisfactory But Wil- son Will Not Permit Blockade Issue to Be Dragged Into t he Discussion. Washington, May 9—The American Ambassador in Berlin was instructed yesterday by cable to deliver the fol- lowing note to the German Minister of Foreign Affairs: The note of the Imperial German government under date of May 4, 1916, has received careful considera- tion by the government of the United States. It is especially noted, as in- dicating the purpose of the Imperial government as to the future, that it “is prepared to do its utmost to conflne the operations of the war for the. rest of its duration to the fighting forces of the belligerents” and that it is determined to impose upon all its commanders at sea the limitations of the recognized rules of intéernation- al Jaw upon which the government of the United States has insisted. Throughout the months which have clapsed since the Imperial govern- ment announced, on Feb. 4, 1915, its submarine policy, nmow happily aban- doned, the government of the United States has been constantly: guided and restrained by mo tives of friend- ship in its patient- efforts ‘to bring to an amicable settlement the critical questions arising from that policy. Accepting the Imperial government's declaration of its abandonment of the policy which has so : seriously menaced the good relations between the two countries, the government of the United States will rely upon a scrupulous execution henceforth of the now altered policy of the Imper- ial government, such as will remove the principal danger to an interrup- tion of the good relations existing be- tween the United States and Ger- many. The government of the United States feels it necessary to state that it takes it for granted that the Im- perial German government does not intend to imply that the maintenance of its newly announced policy is in any way contingent upon the course or result of diplomatic negotiations between the government of the United Btates and any other belligerent gov- ernment, notwithstanding the fact that certain passages in the Imperial government’s note of the fourth in- stant might appear to be susceptible of that construction. In order, how- ever, to avoid any possible misunder- standing, the government of the United States notifies the Imperial government that it cannot for a mo- ment entertain. much less discuss. a suggestion that respect by German naval authorities for the rights of citizens of the United States upon the high seas should in any way or l'in the slightest degree be made con- | tingent upon the conduct of any oth- er government affecting the rights of neutrals and non-combatants. Re- sponsibility in such matters is single, not joint; absolute, not relative. LANSING. Statement by Mr. Lansing. The following statement by Secre- tary Lansing was made public after the note was on its way to Berlin: “The greater part of the German answer is devoted to matters which this government cannot discuss with the German government. The only questions of right which can be dis- cussed with that government are those arising out of its action or out of our own and in no event those questions which are the subject of diplomatic exchanges between the United States and any other country. “The essence of the answer is that Germany yields to our representations with regard to the rights of mer- chant ships and non-combatants on the high seas and engages to ob- serve the recognized rules of inter- national law governing naval war- fare in using her submarines against merchant ships. So long as «hs lives up to this altered policy we can have no reason to quarrel with her on that score, though the losses re- sulting from the violation of Ameri- can rights by German submarine commanders operating under the for- mer policy will have to be settled. “While our differences with Great Britain cannot form a subject of dis- cussion with Germany, it should be stated that in our dealings with the British government we are acting us we are unquestionably bound to act, in view of the explicit treaty engage- ments with that government. We have treaty obligations as to the manner in which matters in dispute between the two governments are to be handled. We offered to assume mutually simi- lar obligations with Germany, but the offer was declined. When, how- ever, the subject in dispute is a con- tinuing menace to American lives it is doubtful whether such obligations The Cup That Cheers Most is the cup that is the most wholesome—for unpleasant after-effects can mar the keenest pleasure.

ROADS WILL RESIST ADVANCE IN WAGES But Conference Committee of Managers Agrees to Arbitrate New York, - May 9—The National Conference committee of Railroad Managers, apointed by the fifty-two railroads affected by the wage de- mands of, the four great train ser- vice wunions :0f the country, ‘met in the Grand Central station yesterday to organize. This committee will have charge of negotiations carried on with the union representatives. Elis- ha Lee, assistant general manager of the Pennsylvania lines east, was chosen to head the committee. Conferences between the managers’ committee and the representatives of the train service employees will be- gin in New York on June 1. Upon these conferences will depend the outcome of the men's wage demands. How long they will last or what the result will be no one is predicting, but the railroad managers, who are working in unison for the first time, say they are preparing to stand their ground. Meetings will probably be held in the Engineering socleties building. The managers estimate that there will be present about 800 delegates from the employees of the roads mak- ing demands, although the heads of the four train service unions—con- ductors, engineers, firemen and tratn- men—will meet directly with the railroad managers. The situation as outlined yesterday is that the four unions agreed 1o meet the railroad representatives hers or in Chicago to talk over the opening of the wage schedules necessitated by the employees’ demands. The rail- roads are prepared to resist advances in wages, but will agree to arbitra- tion. It will therefore be determined at the conferences whether the differ- ences will be arbitrated, whether the union heads return to their men to take a strike vote or whether the whole matter will be threshed out and settled by conferees. FOLLOWS DAD’S FOOTSTEPS. Tokio, May 9.—The first act of Mr. Ulysses S. Grant on arriving in Tokio yesterday to begin a tour in Japan was to visit Ueno Park, where, in 1879, his famous president-father planted a magnolia tree to commemo- rate his coming to this country. Mr. Grant who is accompanied by his wife will visit South America. His home is at San Diego, California. SWEDISH BAPTIST NOTES. Rev. A. Manuel of Montclair, N.

THREE CONVIGTED OF SHIP SINKING PLOT Fay, Scholz and Daesch Found Guilty on Two Charges New York, May ~Robert Fay, the self-styled German army lieutenant, who came here from the western war front to undertake the stoppage of munition shipments to the allies; Wal- ter Scholz, his brother-in-law, who is a skilled mechanic, and who assisted him, and Paul Daeche, a young Ger- man, who went to Bridgeport for Fay, to purchase trinitrotoluol, were con- victed last night by a jury in the fed- eral district court, on two indict- ments charging them with comspiring to sing freighters carrying munitions to the allies by attaching bombs to It took the jury just five hours A telephone message that the jury had agreed was sent to Judge Howe at his hotel and he lost no time in re- It was about 10 o'clock when he arrived, and a few minutes later the jury was escorted The three de- ready in their places about one of the long tables. There was absolute silence in the court when Clerk Willlam Leary asked the jury whether it had agreed upon a verdict. “We have,” said Foreman Howard M. Patterson, arising. ‘‘We find the three defendants guilty as charged in the two indictments, and we asked ‘a strong plea for clemency for Paul Daeche.” Daeche leaned forward as though to hear better. He gulped in the effort to keep back the tears that welled up to his eyes. Scholz straightened up in his seat, but Fay never stirred. Not a muscle of his face twitched and there was no flash of expression to tell that he had just heard what might cause him to spend the next ten years ot his life in a federal prison.

This gift was announced in a letier to the hospital directors from Rd- ward S.
