W ashington, May 14.—In diplomat-
! ic circles there is a disposition to he
somewhat optimistic over the German
I bituation. It was said that Ge.-m.mv
, v/< uld consider long- before assuming
J responsibility for a break witi the
! Nation that dominates the Western
I Hemisphere.
While Chile, one of the chief factors
, in the powerful "A. B. C." combina-
; tion, now running South America, af-
i fronted and defiant, too, because of j
| Germany's position in the Dresden af- |
fair, diplomats say Germany's need
for conciliation never was so appar-
ent. They point out further that in
the past, when political expediency
has demanded, Germany has never
hesitated to change her attitude or !
policies.
Especially at the Allies' embassies
it is realized that should Germany
meet the United States openly and
frankly declare that her past policy |
had been wrong, a wave of German
sentiment would swoop America from
tl.e Atlantic to the Pacific.
Incidentally, attention is called to
the fact that Holland and the United
States have never-been so close as at
present, that Holland has serious
grievances of just the same sort as
America s, that there is -i growing be-
lief the Dutch may specifically indorse I
the United States' declaration on Ger- ]
man submarine warfare, and that '
they have a determined army of four
hundred thousand men massed on the
kaiser's frontier.
These men. officials here say, are i
the equal of the German first line
fighting force, while their position;
strategically would hardly be improv-
ed. in that the frontier is less than j
fifty miles from Essen, the great I
German munition center.
If Germany should be convinced j
j that there was danger of the United
States and Holland making common
cause, she would consider carefully,
: diplomats say, before completely de-
fying this country.
Some diplomats thought that Ger- ;
many would make a conciliatory re-
ply, whicli would dodge the question
of ending at once her submarine war-!
fare and would privately assure the j
United States that there would be no j
further cause for complaint. Officials 1
generally said they did not believe1
such action would be acceptable, the
demand for an answer (ailing for t
specific one—the only kind that will i
relieve the strain.

AT THE FRAM!NG
Thursday May 20, 15 at 8:15
This is a clever modern comedy,
portraying society life at Newport.
Three acts of laughable situations
and amusing lines.
We are looking for a big day Sun-
day. Will you be out to help to make
it such? We want our Sunday school
to be the largest ever. We can make
it so if all are there. You be there.
Classes taught by trained teachers.
They will interest you as well as give
you something that is the thing that
you need. Preaching at both hours by
the pastor. Subject at 11 o'clock:
"The Man Who Stemmed the Tide—
Noah." This will be the second of the
character studies that the pastor is
giving in the month of May. Do not
fail to be present and hear this lec-
ture. It will be discussed from the
modern point of view, and lessons that
will be helpful in the battle of life wlil
be brought out. On Sunday night the
pastor will bring the third of his lec-
tures on the second coming of Christ,
Subject being, "What Shall Happen
During the One Thousand Year Reign
of the Christ on the Earth?" We
have had great crowds the last two
Sunday nights to hear these lectures.
Let's have the same again Sunday
night. Whether yo i agree with the
pastor or not in these discussions, you
will be interested in his point of view.
They all have a practical turn to
them, and in all of them there are
brought out some lessons that are
worth the hearing and the having, so
be on hand, and bring some one with
you. Remember that the young peo-
ple meet at seven o'clock. Our young
people are doing a great work for
which we are very thankful. If you
want to get with a union that is de
