Gcrmary's Attitude of Defiance

+ the discussion of submarine warfare and
l. the attitude Germany should take toward
the United States. which appears in Count
Reventlow's semiofiical Tages Zeitung may
be assumed to represent German government
opinion. there is small hope of keeping the
relations of the two nations on peace basis
The article. reproduced N The Times
Dispatch yesterday contains the usual protes-
'atons that Germany is justified, because she
is at war with half the world and fighting
for life, in doing whatever she considers
necessary The submarine warfare will be
continued. ii is asserted, without regard to
Americas protests. Let America. Count
Reventlow concludes. then do or not do
what she likes We neither care for her
bluff for lTtr deeds.
If this is mere rhetoric it is not particu-
larry important. If it represents what Ger
many thinks it bodies i'll for the cause OF
peace When the author says I'VE do not
forget that there are certain interior difficult
ties III America" he hints plainly that in the
event of war, there would be some lack Of
loyalty on the part of citizens of German
birth or descent. That suggestion contains
all the elements OF Il libel--a libel moreover,
that has been Indignantly and passonately
repudiated by those against whom ii is d-
rected If Germany really believes that Ger
mun-Americans will fail in their duty to the
land and the institutions they have sworn to
uphold. it is just one more illustration of
German official inca pacity to understand any
thing save itself.
Certainly. Count Reventlow does not
derstand the President of the United States
nor the temper OF the American people. In
the Presidents note based on the sinking of
the LuSitania. with the consequent destruc-
ton OF over 100 American lives, and al
lied incidents. there was neither bluff
buster. There is neither bluff nor buster
in the support the President receives from
every section OF the land and from every
shade of political opinion
When the President spoke. America spoke.
Germany's answer. which has been handed
to Ambassador Gerard. at Berlin. is now on
the way TO Washington. If il fails to meet
the conditions laid down or at least to
promise the suspension of submarine attacks
pending these conditions further discussion.
diplomatic relations with Germany will he
severed. The President would not consider
nor the country approve further palterng,
couched in phrases however suave.
81, We have believed from the first that the
Lusitania incident charged with graves
consequences for this country. although
have joined in the hope. widely and gen
orally expressed III the American press. that
Germany would wake from her nightmare Of
'frigh tfulness' and agree wage war with
civilized egard for neutral rights and neutral
pect that Germany will ma Ike the substantial
concessions the situation renders imperative.
Berln,s answer will tell the tale.
