in typical r.egro style:"We ain't paid t

K proving to be an abundance of beau- t
tifully hand embroidered and cro- v
cheted pieces and serviceable linens v
of many and varied descriptions. c
A "bride's booklet" was then passed q
around and each one present regis- v
e" tered and gave a few words of ad- n
,e vice to the bride-to-be concerning
her future. After this, Mrs AD \
Jones read aloud the words of ad- v
V vice and warning, which caused much 0

HAY DELAY REPLY TO WILSON'S
"ULTIMATUM" UNTIL SUBMARINE
DISPUTE CAN BE SETTLED.
Berlin, April 25:? (Via London.)? ;
American Ambassador Gerard is to
lave another conferene with Dr Von
Jethmann-Hollweg this evening, pri>r
to the imperial chancellor's de)arture
for great headquarters.
At the foreign office the corres- |
indents were informed that the
ihancellor was devoting the holidays j
o conferences on the submarine1
ssuelwith the departments concern- j
:d. These have not yet been con-'
:luded.
The main purpose of the imperial
ihancellor's flying trip to Berlin has
>een, as is evident from his proracted
conference with Ambassador
Gerard on Monday, the desire to obain
as clear an idea as possible of
he attitude and policy of the Ameri:an
Government, what, if anything,
ies behind and beyond the Ameri:an
note, and what measures are
lecessary to satisfy the American
lemand before the momentous decison
is taken by the Emperor and his
idvisers.
The crisis has come to a head in
he midst of the Easter holidays, a
eason playing a highly important
ole in German life, when public
nen are widely scattered from Berin;
and their views, which the Em>eror
would naturally wish to ascer- !
ain before reaching a decision, not
[uickly assembled. Thus the formu- !
ation of a reply to the American J
lote, which presumably would spell !
par or peace, cannot oe rusnea.
So far as Germany is concerned '
here still is a possibility of a settle- 1
[lent, and hope has not been aban- j
oned here. But the Germans apiear
to wish to know before giving
heir answer what sort of answer
pould satisfy the United States,
phether assurances of a properly
onducted submarine would be adeuate
and whether concessions now
pould be the prelude to more delands
later.
It can be stated positively that Dr
fon Bethmann-Hollweg and his adisers
realize fully the disadvantages
f a break with the United States,
nd that they do not desire it if it
an be avoided. But they feel, if a
reak must come ultimately, it would
e useless to indulge in concessions
nd compromises now, and that they
light as well have the matter setled.
During the crisis there has been an

LANSING AND CORRESPONDENTS.
Washington, April 2o:?Secretary
