ocation and with a p0iiteness offensive
" insinuatiug. Germany rejects each
and all OF our demands and attempts
to bargain with respect to the future.
What right have we to re-
tain a seat among the self-respecting
nations Of the world if we abandon
our dead TO their fate and bargain

the living?
Berlin, July 10. via London.-The
German reply to the American note of
June 9, with reference to Germany's
submarine warfare and the American
interests involved finds unanimous
praise in all the morning newspapers
here. The comments are marked with
a tone of exultation over the fact that
the government refuses to abandon
submarine warfare.
Captain Persius the naval expert Of
the TagabIatt. says that the note
shows that Germany viii follow her
present course with the greatest re-
gard to Americas interests. He ex-
presses the belief that the note offers
the basis for a complete understand
ing with the United States.

ORGAN GRINDER AND
MONKEY ON AVENUE

A typical organ grinder and his
faithful performing monkey proved
the center Of attraction on Second ave

the grown people as children watching
the antics Of the little animal.
My, it's been years since I've seen
an organ grinder and a monkey" ez-
claimed one man.
Come to think OF it you're right at
that" answered his companion.
And such is the case. Several years
ago an organ grinder with the famtl-
lar little monk" was not an uncom-
mon sight. but Of late years. these
patient public entertainers have be
come few and far between. Indeed
some Of the younger generation have
yet to see their first organ grinder and

Comment on German Note

The German reply to President VIII
sons second note was editorially com
mented on today throughout the Unit
ed States. Excerpts from some Of the
leading newspapers follow:
New York Globe: Germanys re-
ply to the second Lusitania note is as
unsatisfactory as her reply TO the first
There is evasion of the simple issue as
to whether Germany intends to violate
international law when the violation
means the death of American citizens.
The failure Of Germany, although twice
Intercepted, to make a definite dis
claimer of such purpose, is most dis
couraging TO all who have labored TO
preserve unimpaired the historic good
relations between Germany and the
United States.
New York Evening Sun: The Ger
man reply to President Wilson's re
monstrances against the abomination
Of submarine raiding as practiced by
the kaiser's navy. would be a climax of
impudence if it were not a marvel Of
faulty.
New York Herald: Stripped of its
cant about humanity" of its parting
about Geruany's previous contentious
in behalf Of adjustment Of the right
of capture" of its TRADE against Great
Britain and its altogether specious
contentious with regard to the LUsi-
tania, the German answer to the Unit
ed States is one of defiance
Chicago Daily News: The latest Of
fetal German reply discloses that in
Berlin the safety of American lives is
still a minor consideration as com
pared with the safety OF German crews
of submarines. This nation cannot
concede that war is now the worlds
chief business and that peaceful ma
tions have few or no rights that ma
lions at war are bound to respect.
Chicago Journal; The German note
Just received in Washington is one of
the most insolent and evasiye mes
sages ever addressed by the govern
ment Of one great nation to that of
another, It fails to offer any repara-
ton or apology for the killing of Amer
leans on the Lusitania and other yes
sells. Clearly the lingo. It remains to
be seen whether President Wilson can
discover any peaceful method of max
ing such jingoes respect American
rights.
Chicago Abendpost The German
answer to the American note Of July
10 is friendly and firm AS an an
swer to the demands made by our ad-
ministration the note is what was ex-
pected-unsatisfactory, In form, It is
more Of a justification Of the German
standpoint and an appeal to the Amer
lean love Of justice than an answer to
the American note.
