Won Jagow. politely evading the real
issue. presents Germanys case strong
ly. Germany Graves this nations friend
ship and respects the American flag.
This is manifest. Hence an understand
ing should be reached without diplo-
matte breach.
Fighting for her very life, Germany
does not guarantee the safety of Ameri-
cans who elect to travel on ships of
belligerent nations carrying contraband
OF war. 1t is in no bellicose spirit that
the imperial government withholds
promise of any sort which involves a
change or modification of its war policy

by the continuance Of this correspond
to adopt. .
To be weak and inflrm of purpose now
would be for US a deplorable blunder.
That would invite a continuation Of the
correspondence with all the perils
therein involved. We must renew with
the emphasis of brevity our demand for
the assurances asked for in the pre-
ceding notes, and we must ask to be
informed with reasonable promptness
whether 1t is the intention Of Germany
to grant or to refuse compliance.

The immediate effect Of the Berlin note
is not difficult to torsee. 1t calls for no
ultimatum in the ordinary sense OF that
term. Every note on the subject sent
from Washington ha' been an ultima
tum. for every note has expressed the
dAtermined purpose of our administra-
tIon and our people. The latest COM
munication from Berlin, by making dis
tinct proposals of a new kind and offer
invites and requires a reply; and this
can be nothing more or less than a
friendly but sufficiently emphatic re-
iteration. Meanwhile the siuation re-
mains what 1t was, with the always
grave peril Of a new incident.

British Quick to Give

LONDON, July 1.-THE surprising
manner in which all classes of the
English people rallied to the support Of
the governments new war loan was in
stanced by Home Secretary Sir John
Simon this afternoon as an example OF
national loyalty in times of war.
Speaking at a meeting in Legion, a
London suburb, the home secretary ex-
pressed the governments appreciation
for the warm response tho government g

Two months after the sinking OF the
Lusitania. Germany not only ignores
every request made for reparation. but
imposes rules and regulations Of Its own
making, In disregard Of neutral rights
and International law, with which no
self-re specting government can comply.
1t Is Impossible to see how negotiations
between the two governments can con-

the time has como for Mr.. Wilson to
act.

Germany's reply to the United states
note on submarine warfare Is disap-
pointing in its evasion Of some Of the
points most emphasized by President

pleasure by breaking off diplomatic re-

The German reply Is not reply. 1t
IS simply a harangue to hyphenated
Americans In this country. 1t contains
a long -winded harangue on military
necessity" and Fighting for existence
This has been the excuse Of every muir
derer and criminal since Cain slew Abel.

lighting for its existence. and II they
are all entitled to violate international

Detroit Free Press.

What Germany contends Is that the
people of the United States must keep
out Of regions where they have definite
rights to travel at will and without
molestation. Germany must know that
the plan 1t proposes cannot be accepted
and that the denial II makes Of the
rights of neutrals to traverse the oceans
in safety cannot be conceded. 1t Is diff
ficult to believe that the suggestions It
makes are even put forward In good
faith. They do not, in point of fact, de-
serve an argumentative reply.

Germany's reply embodies a counter
proposition. which has for its basis the
assumption that Germany. owing to her
necessity, is Justihed in establishing
way common to all the world.
There is no difference save in de-
gree eetween this and a claim OF rights
to block the road altogether. II the
fly of the one II can recognize the
validity of the other, and the United
States has already pronounced its
Judgment on that point.

an answer to President Wilson's note
will amount to permitting Germany to

quiesces calmly therein. then such free

The German reply Is as evasive as the
