Germany Balks Over
Warning to Freighters
'By CARL W. ACKERMAN.
BERLIN. April 26 -President Wilson's
demand that German submarines warn
freighters, as well as passenger liners,
constitutes tho most serious obstacle
In the way of a satisfactory settlement
of German relations. It was learned au
thoritatively today.
I 1 Other 'points at controversy i can be
VettUd ylthout any danger of a diplo
matic rurjturc.
Bu' strong opposition exists here to
safeguarding the crews of freighters,
since It Is held that every enemy
(relfhiet Is engaged almost sololy in
carrying munitions or other war sup
plies to the allies.
Tluro Is a crowing feeling, however,
that thorn will be no diplomatic break.
It Is entirely too early to say that the
crisis nas passea. rne situation appar
ently depends upon the firmness of
President Wilson's stand.
.Matters marued time today pending tne
return of Chancellor von Uethman'Holl
weg from his second conference with
the Kaiser at army headquarters.
The chancellor carried to the Em
poror a report on his conversation with
Ambassador Gerard Monday noon, m
which he sought to learn exactly what
conditions Germany must comply with
to satisfy President Wilson.
A prominent German who talked with
the ambassador after his conference
said he hpped Gerard's message would
reach President Wilson and a reply be
received before any definite action was
taBen here.
This German declared that Germany's
best forces were attempting to reach a
satisfactory understanding and would
be succflssful. unless Washington
weighed too lightly Germany's position.
The American Chamber of Commerce
of Berlin held a lengthy meeting yes
terday, but reached no decision as to
whether members should close their
affairs pending the outcome of the
crisis.
Beveral American business men are
leaving.
It appears probable the German reply
will not be sent until an answer Is re
ceived from Washington to the message
dispatched by Ambassador Gerard Mon
day night, with a request for more
definite information as to what condi
tions the. American Government wants
to Impose.
Ambassador Gerard has received no
confidential Information alnco the note
was received here and knows nothing
runner or tne attituae or America.
Onlv meager ores dispatches have been
received here from the United States
since the note was dollvered.
Americans Quit Germany;
Fear Diplomatic Break
LONDON, April 26. A number of
Americans who left Germany, convinced
that a diplomatic break Is Imminent,
have arrived at Copenhagen.
Paris dispatches today reported the
arrival nt Geneva of several Americans
from Germany.

Then Shoots Self
Suicide Provides for His Funeral
and Leaves Cash for

.PHILADELPHIA, April 26.-After
writing a letter to Coroner Wright an
nouncing his death andglvlng Instruc
tions for the disposal of his body and
estate, Joseph Freeman, alxty-nve. com
rnltted suicide by shooting hlmseir In
the head. The tetter, which was re

"inclosed you will find money order

"I beg you to Inquire Immediately In
my residence, 'COO Diamond street, and

"I desire to be cremated. Avoid all
unnecessary expenses, and remit to A.
B. hpecker, C06 Diamond street, the sum

''There will be left a fair balance,
which you will kindly apply for the
most needy1 fellow-mon. for Instance,

pital without means and Is too weak to

Belligerents should presume an armed

Is "conclusive evidence" to the con

flclally declared today by tho State De

merchant vessel Is armed docs not con
stitute sufficient reason for a belligerent
to declare It a warship and to attack it

Titesu points were announced In a
memorandum Intended to make near

waH intended to dcline tho status of an
armed snip on the high bciih. in neutrul
water, however, sum the mouuiianaum,
the Hiatus would be decided ':from all
the circumstances of tho taie."
"A, neutral government," nay the
statement, "may proceed upon the pre
sumption that an armed merchant ves
sel of belligerent neutrality Is armed for
aggression, whllo a belligerent, should
propecd o nthe presumption that tho
vessel Is armed for protection."

In which he will make provision for
Just as many local clubs a possible,
Meanwhile there I In preparation by
the officials of the National Rifle As
sociation, a set of Instruction In thre
parts which will become a sort of hand
book for th guidance of local clubs.
These bulletins will contain all general
Information possible touching the or
ganltatlon and conduct of rifle clubs. It
will outline the Instruction which 'can
be had during the boat ride to Win
throp, and give the details of the courses
open to those who visit the outdoor
range, aa well as Instructions as to
"isnge etiquette."
It Is rumored around the associa
tion headquarters that a new aeries
of courses are In preparation for rifle
clubs affiliated with the national or
ganisation. It is pointed out that at present, for
Instance, In shooting the marksman's
cotlrse, a rifleman must hav three
ranges of varying length. Thlr haa
Imposed more or less of a hardship upon
rifle clubs who have their own ranges
and whose ranges arc not susceptible
of thv different distances.
Therefore. It Is quite possible that a
marksman's course In which a rifleman
can qualify at the fixed distance of 200
ard will be provided.
The new regulations and perhaps the
new courses rrlll be adopted. It Js be
lieved, during the coming summer by
all citizen camps, and those who qualify
on these courses will be given their cer
tificates by th National nine Assocla
tlon. - '
