Boston (Mass) Transcript-lt isl
not saving enough to characterised the
German note as disappointing or eva
sive. II is insulting in the implied at
titude of Germany that the United
| states is not a power demanding
| prompt consideration, The time Mas
come for our government to define to
Germany "strict accountability In
the terms and tones of an ultimatum.
Providence tR. 10 Journnl--It is
doubtful If any state paper from one
government to another in recent gem
eratons has ever fallen TO such
depths of stupidity and prevarication.
I The president will, Of course, brush
aside this contemptuous insult aud
insist on am immediate compliance
with our demands. failing In which
will proceed to sereve diplomatic re-
lations
Savannah tGa) Press Germany's
reply is decidedly unsatisfactory.
Mobile (Ala.) Item--Uncle Sam Is
a plain, blunt citizen who knows lit
tie and cares less about eyasve di- |
plomacy II Herr Jagow's note Is a /
| feeler, Germany viii not remain long
! i'm ignorance that the whole Ameri- |
can people are behind President
Wilson.
Richmond tva) News-Leader--
The German note must he answered |
promptly with demand for action !
rather than for argument
st. Paul tMinn) Pioneer Press
The announcement from Washington
that the German reply TO the demand
of the United states. is in reality no
answer and Is wholly unacceptable,
will meet responsive echo from end
to end of the country.
Chattanooga Glenn -News-The
situation is by no means easy to adj
Just, but we cannot see in II any
ground for apprehension that there
will be more than war of words.
ST. Louis (Mo) Post Dispatch
Hope of T. satisfactory adjustment I
held out in the German suggestion
for arriving at common understand
ing of facts as a preliminary to a fl
nal settlement is diminished by The
spirit of the note.
Seattle Times--Since we have been
patient to an incredible degree moth
ing will be lost through concession
whereby the decisive reports OF the
two governments will find out exactly
what are the facts.
Seattle Post olitely
but flatly does the imperial govern
ment justify its war policy. It dis
avows nothing. The sacred duty so
clearly indicated fortnight ago by
President Wilson now becomes all the
more sacred and imperative.
Stockton (Calif) Mall-What this
country wants Is not effusiVe regrets
for our loss in the Lusitanla disaster
modified by denial of responsibility,
but just reparation and guarantee
that Germany will cease her outrages
upon the high seas.
Philadelphia Inquirer-The reply is
temporizlng in nature. 1t Is a play
for time; studied effort to involve
this country in meaningless and
long drawn out discussion far afield
from the real point of issue. To put
it plainly, Germany is trifling with
the United States.
Philadelphia Press-The text of
Germany's reply TO the American Lu-
sitania note is extremely unsatisfac-
tory. The reply does
not meet the issue.
Albany IN. " Knickerbocker
Prcss-Thc reply is deliberately eva
slve, II is an answer which pur'
posely does not answer.
Sioux City Iowa) Tribune-~Ger-
many is short of diplomats II is be-
meath the dignity of this government
to carry on Il correspondence with
nation using this tone and holding TO
this view of its duty to a civilized
power, to say nothing OF its treaty
agreements.
Donver (Colo.) Times--Germany
answer TO President Wilson's note /
leaves the way open for
further diplomatic exchanges The
answer is not a direct admission Of
German error but neith
er is 1t an abrupt and discourteous
retort to a sternly worded inquiry. It
will not please those who would have
goaded President Wilson into making
his note of inquiry virtually a declar-
alton of war, but it will bring relief
to those who had feared that Ger
many harassed by active enemies on
al sides, might fling all considera-
tons of friendship to the winds ana
leave no basis for settlement OF ques-
tons involved
Chicago Journal--rhe claim that
the Lustanla was an armed vessel Is
an unmiXed insult to the United
States, which cleared the ship as
but the request for an
investigation of circumstances already
known to the civilized world is as
shifty as it is insolent.
indianapolis Star--Level headed
Americans Will await the progress of
events with calmness
