Monument of Hypocrisy"

PARIS. July 1l.-Paris newspapers
to-day published in full the text Of the
German reply TO America. Such head
ings rs "A Monument of Impudence"
and "A Monument of Hypocrisy" ex-
press the attitude the press generally
assumes toward the reply.
The Echo dc Paris has this to say:
The note marks sensible progress
over the preceding notes: to cynicism,
the Germans now add pershaee. To
comment seriously on such morsel
would be TO permit ourselves to he
houtcd by the Germans: to laugh at il
would perhaps fail in respect towards
the Germans two rictims--the Lusi-
tania and the prestige of President
Wilson"
The Figaro says il is embarrassed
10 determine which is the more re-
markable--"the impudent cynicism of
German diplomacy or tho extraordinary
presumption leading them to believe
that the United States would be salts
fled with such reply"
The paper adds that it is puzzling
as 10 why ii took SO long TO produce
nothing save affirmation, which seems
of transcendent irony, or the zeal of
Imperial government for the principle
of humanity"
Under the heading. THE German Re-
ply to America Is Il Tissue of Quibbles."
the Petit l'arisicn, after summarizing
President Wilson'S note, says:
To this the reply of the Berlin Caki-
net seems 10 he in disdainful irony

OF the Jcutonic admiralty against the
Franco British blockade. 1t offers
America derisire guarantees, and OPEN
~ seeks to prolong infinitely the neeo-
tiations that ii never intended to end"
The. Socialist paper Iumanite says:
The German reply exceeds anything
one might have expected of the blind
ness of the Berlin Cabinet With
tranquil audacity. it throws on the
allies the responsibility OF all the vio-
lations of international law of which
Germany has been guilty for the past
eleven months. For the government
Of William H., it is always the victims
fault"
The Gaulois says German diplomacy
remains true TO the system, accusations
without proof.
The journal asserts that Germany
seeks means of exploiting the liberty
of navigation desired by the Amcri-
cans"
The Radical publishes the text Of the
reply without other comment than the
heading. "a Monument of Hypocrisy

German government called on America

enemies.' whose increasing ruthless
ness compelled them. against their
human instincts, to resort to subma-
rine warfare"
Referring to the German reiteration
that the Lusitania carried explosives.
whereas the American government
gave assurances founded on tho most
exhaustive official investigation that
the Lusitania carried no explosives
whatever" and that British merchant
men were armed, the News SAYS:
1T would be simpler and more CON

three army corps at least one of which

not overestimate the success of the

south of Luhin. constitutes only forty
miles out OF total front OF about
1000 miles. Both the Germans and
Austrians arc showing signs of great
