Washington, May 8.—The United
States answer to Germany’s note was
cabled by- Secretary T-amring to Am
bassador Gerard today. It informs
the German government that the Uni
ted States accepts Germany’s “del
duration of abandonment of her form
er submarine policy.”
It added that the United States now
relies upon “scrupulous execution of
the alterated policy to remove the
prindpal danger of interruption of
the good relatione existing between
the two countries."
With, this acceptance is coupled a
formal notice to Germany'- that the
United States cannot. for a moment
entertain, much less discuss, the sug
gestions that Germany’s respect for
United States citizens on the high
seas should be in' the slightest degree
contingent upon the condifct of any
other government affecting the rights
of neutrals or non-combatants.
This part is fc reply to' derihany*©
assertion that she would reserve com
plete liberty to change her decision
unless the United States Is success
ful : in its efforts to break the British
blockade. * '
Secretary Lansing in a statement
tonight said the greater part of Ger
many’s note was devoted to matters
the United States could not discuss
with Berlin, but he considered Ger
many had "yielded to our representa
tions.”
He said we ’’can have ho reason to
quarrel with her.” • -

The James Music Co., has arrang

every hour in the day will entertain
the large crowd which is to be pres

Daring the same' days of the auto
show, a return engagement of “The
Birth of a Nation” will be played at
the Colonial. Already many letters
have been received from out-of-town
people asking for reservations of
seats. >From all indications, it ap
pears that the attendance for the re
turn engagement will be equally as
large as the first engagement.
As the time draws near for the
opening of the big auto show by tho
Banner, interest is Increasing and if
the space was twice the amount every
inch of it could be filled with ma
chines, many which will be exhibited
have no representative here, and it
will be a splendid opportunity for
some one to secure an agency of a
machine which will be attractive.
Large signs have been erected on
the building, both on the Clayton
and Washington street side announc
ing the dates of the big show which
will be tbe first to be held in Athens

Friday afternoon at 4 o’clock.
As usual to dope the teams this
year is beyond the power of the
wisest sage. There have been times
when both teams were cock sure on
account of some premier pitcher or
an unusually strong batting crew but
this year there Is hardly a pitcher in
the entire outfit that is above the
average while the batting of - each
team has been erratic all season.
Big Jim Senter will be the Jackets
mainstay in tbe box. That goes with
