1.-THE note shows to Americans most |
clearly that the German government
so far as lies In it's power. is honor |
ably concerned to preserve peace and
friendship with America in future. I'll
is now up to them to submit the pro-
posals made to unprejudiced consid-
Grafton.
Feeling has undoubtedly cooled down
somewhat on the other side Of the
water, and Americans will undoubted-
ly admit that 1t Is not Germany that
tries to monopolize the freedom Of the
seas for itself alone.
In any event, we have now done
our utmost and can quietly await what
answer President Wilson and his adj
visers will think suitable
Count Reventlow, writing in the
Deutsche Tagezeitung, says that the
continuance of the submarine war is
"a sacred duty" and the Neueste
Nachrichten rejoices that the note
makes it plain that Germany will
DOT tolerate outside interference" On
ly one Berlin paper takes more seri-
Gus view Of the matter. The Tage-
blatt says:
Zone need make no bones Of saying
+, it is impossible to reconcile the Ger
man and the American standpoints.
That would mean for-us the giving up
of submarine warfare, and II Ameri-
will not see that we cannot do that
there is nothing to be done. There is
no necessity of exchanging notes to
reconcile irreconciliable differences.
The exchange is made for the purpose
of finding tolerable compromise, and
in this decision the German note goes
extraordinarily far"
While the German papers are agreed
that the note makes large concessions
to America, the Paris papers are un-
animous that it evades the point in
that they term an elusive and i'm
pudent" manner. The Paris Matin
heads its article "a Monument of
Impudence," the Radical prefers the
term Hypocrisy" and the general tone
of the press is ironical The Echo de
Paris says:
"The note marks sensible progress
over the preceding notes; to cynicism
the Germans now add persiflage. To
comment seriously on such a morsel
would be to permit ourselves to be
flouted by the Germans; to laugh at
it would perhaps fail in respect to-
wards the Germans two victims-the
Lusitania and the prestige of Presi-
dent"
The Figaro speaks of "the impudent
cynicism of German diplomacy" and
the Gaulois says the note "embodies
the fundamental principle of diplo-
matte action accusation without
proof" while the Socialist Humanite
says:
1.-THE German reply exceeds any
thing one might have expected OF the
blindness of the Berlin cabinet. With
tranquil audacity it throws upon The
Allies the responsibility of all the VIC
lations of international law of which
Germany has been guilty during thu
eleven months. For the government o
William IL, it is always the victim!

The Italian press comment in sim
lar terms and the Rome Idea National,
remarks:

Germany would have the audacity t
present to Washington a documen
which undoubtedly is the most inso
