Little Miss Renee Reiss, who hardly
knows whether she is a Fraulein or a
Madamoiselle, was one of the inter-|
esting figures at the barbecue given
the opera visitors Wednesday at the
Druid Hills .Golf Club. She isn't a
member of the Metropolitan, but she
may be some day. |
Her father, Albert Reiss, is the
diminutive tenor who sings so many
comedy parts. He has been heard
here In “Tales of HoXman"” and half a
dozen other works, and this vear he is
to sing David in “Die Meistersinger”
anl his daughter came along to see
that he sings it wel
Mr. Reiss, a year or more ago,
tlought he had seen the last of his
family, for he was interned in a
t'rench concentration camp and
thought every moment might bring a
tring squad. For Reiss Is German by
“irth, and though he had married a
Frenchwoman and lived for years in
‘e suburbs of Paris, he was officlally
4 German and the French nanbed
bim. It took the combined efforts of
tto Kahn, New York capitalist and
chairman of the Metropolitan direc
tors; the American Ambassador,
Gattl<Casazza and Willlam J. Guard
1o get him out of France and safe
aboard a lugger.

Ambassador Goes to Talk Over
American Note—Reply
Being Framed
AMSTERDAM, April 27.—A
semiofficial statement in The Co
logne Gazette prepares the Ger
man people for a partial surren
der to the American demands on
submarine warfare. According to
advices received today, Germany
will yield in order to balk the ef
forts of the Entente Powers to
gain the complete support of the
United States.
(By International News Service.)
BERLIN (via wireless), April 27.—
James W. Gerard, American Ambas
sador to Germany, will leave tonight
for German army headquarters, it
was announced today. The Ambassa
dor will be received by Emperor Wil
llam and it is understood that the
submarine question will be fully dis
cussed by the Kaiser and the Anferi
can envoy.
The visit of Mr. Gerard to army
headquarters is being made, it is
stated, at the personal invitation of
Emperor Willlam, transmitted to the
American Embassy this forenoon
through the Foreign Office,
With the return of Chancellor von
Bethmann-Hollweg from army head
quarters, where he conferred with
Emperor Willlam, it |s expected that
the formal reply to the American'
note on submarine warfare will be
immediately prepared and handed to
Ambassador Gerard for transmission
to Washington. Unless unforseen de
lays occur, it was stated at the For
eign Office today, the reply will be
in Washington by Monday.
Crisis Believed Past.
All external indications are that the
crisie has passed and that there will
be no break in the relations between
Germany and the United States. An
analysis of the American note causes
it to be viewed by German otliciaidom
as less stringent than the first hasty
perusal and advance bulleting had
indicated.
Its seriousness Is in no way under
rated, but moderation is shown in
most of the editorial comments in the
Berlin and provinelal press, A can
vass of the situation made by the In
ternational News Service in all quar
ters revealed no one with a belief
that the affair was so critical that a
settlement could not be reached.
Demands Not New.
Ambassador Gerard has received
numerous visits from German offi
clals and prominent diplomatic and
parllamentary leaders, It is under
stood that these visitors recelved as
surances from the Ambassador that
the United States Government was
making no new demands, but that it
would insist upon Germany maintain
ing its pledges,
The Sussex case is stiil under in
