The Famous Military Critic and Expert.
LONDON, May s.—The battle of Verdun is won. The great
est battle ever fought, an action with consequence that will as
feet the whole future of mankind almost much as the original
vietory on the Marne has been won by the French,
For the Germans it means that the , effort on which they
concentrated -the whole of their available resources for which
they had spent months in preparation and in which they had
such confidence that they risked open declaration of vietory and
definite prophecies of success, has resulted for them in blgpdy
and irreparable defeat.

* WASHINGTON, May 5. Official Washington today was well nigh convinced that the
{long anticipated diplomatic break with Germany can not be avoided. Publication of the unoffi
cial text of the German reply, which, it is accepted, is in every way accurate, came as a most un
pleasant surprise to those who have been expecting that the American viewpoint would be
met. The note is accepted as a defiance of the position outlined by the President on April 18
and officials believe that it shows that the German Government still fails to realize that the
United States is in deadly earnest in its demand that presént submarine methods of warfare
be abandoned. | | bR A R ' s ’
(By International News Service.)
BERLIN, May 5. Germany’s reply to the note of the United States, which was made pub
lic today, defends Germany’s submarine warfare. Germany does not regard the reply as final.
In the response the opportunity is asked to make further representations of the United States,
particularly in regard to the Sussex.
The note declares that the German Government has restricted her submarine activities to
her own disadvantage and to the advantage of the Allies, adding: .
“No such consideration has ever been shown neutrals by Great Britain and her allies.”
The contention of the Imperial German Government is that the submarine warfare of this
nation has always been conducted with regard to the rules of war.
The exception has been made in the case of enemy trade carried on in “war zone" waters
around the British Isle, the note states. :
However, no assurances were ever given to the United States in respect to such trade, it
was declared by the Foreign Office.
; The United States is charged with responsibility for the dan.
gers confronting citizens of that country traveling upon ships fly.
