New York, July 23.-EditoriaIly
commenting on President Wilson
latest note TO Germany. the SUN to-
morrow will say:
Sustained by a sober and unani-
nous public opinion from which
every trace of rancor and pugnacify
has been deleted, the administration
at Washington has RENTED to the
imperial German government at Berlin
the determination OF the future rela-
tons between the United States and
Germany. Without permitting irrele-
want or extraneous contentious to OBJ
scure the original the paramount
question at issue, the State Depart
ment has reiterated the position this
nation assumed In the first note called
forth by the sinking of the Lusitania.
The future lies with the kaiser. The
United States, with undated friend
ship. stands not as suppliant for
favor. seeks no privilege. the rights
OF neutrafs and neutral nationals,
founded in custom and buttressed In
law. enlist our defense. To evade
them must be an act unfriendiy, not
alone to the Immediate sufferers. but
to all mankind There can be no mis-
understanding, no misinterpretation OF
the message detailing with firmness
and admirable clarity our dissatisfac-
ton with the German course, that
went TO Berlin yesterday.
The German answer may come in
words. II may be expressed in deeds.
Whatever its tenor. the United States
has done more nor less than its obliga-
lions demanded, and confronts the
future confident and with conscience
clear
In the meantime the immediate cir
cumstances suggest that the duty OF
those who denominate themselves
Characterization Is to endeavor now
to encourage good relations between
the countries that enlist their SYM
pathetic interest, and TO refrain from
fomenting q .scord and violence In the
land of their domicile.

minimum Of Demands.

The New York World:
What the President exacts OF Ger
many is the minimum that self
nation can demand of an
other responsible nation. which has
wilfully murdered Its citizens and de-
uberately outraged its sacred rights.
He. therefore. insists that Germany
shall disavow "the wanton act OF Its
naval sinking of the Lusitania. that
1t shall "offer reparation for American
lives lost. so far as reparation can
be made for needless destruction OF
human life by an illegal act" and that
there must be no repetition by Ger
man commanders OF such crimes against
citizens of the United States These
demands are not excessive. and In
formulating them President Wilson
speaks not only Of the American peo-
Die. but for civilization itself. Unless
the United States maintains its neu-
trail rights without compromise and
at any cost there are no neutral
rights left which any bclligerent is
bound to respect and the whole worid
is given over to the terror of the
sword.

RUROEDE GOES TO PRISON
Pleads Guilty to Furnishing German
ReserVists Fraudulent Passports.

NEW YORK For attempt-
ms to aid German patriots to get
back to their country by means Of
fraudulent passports, Carl Ruroede,
a naturalized American citizen. was
sentenced to serve three years in At
lanta penitentiary by Judge Neterer
OF the United States District court
before whom Ruroede entered a plea
of guilty.
1t was chiefly because Ruroede was
a citizen of the United States and
could not. therefore, lay claim to 10y
atty to Germany as an excuse for his
acts that Judge Neterer was so Sc
we're in his sentence. On the other
hand the judge was extremely lenienr
with the four young German reserv-
istr who were arrested on the Nor
wegian steamship Bergensfjord as
they were leaving with passports OBJ
tanned for them by Ruroede. He
fined them 5000 each.

CARRANCISTAS CLAIM
IMPORTANT VICTORIES
Monterey Falls into Hands Of
Chief; Gain in Yucatan.

Ell PASO, TEXAS Monterey
fell into the hands of the attacking
Carranza army at noon, according to
a0vices received by the Carranza con.
sulate in Ell Paso. General Pablo
Gonzales, who commanded the victO
r1cus army, is declared to have sent
2,00G troops to Monclova, to assist
General Maclovio Herrera operating
in that district.
CarranZa forces are getting close to
Juarez and are doing much mischief
in the rear of General Villa. Confir-
nation is had of the Carranza report
of the cutting of the railroad between
Chihuahua and Torreon last Friday
by CarranZistas and later has come
the news of the cutting of the rail
road south of Juarez only eighty-six
miles. This was done Sunday when
a Carranza band captured a freight
train loaded with provisions and some
military equipment consisting of sad
dies and clothing. The raid was made
by band of about sixty mounted
men.
Fierce fighting in Yucatan is also
reported in which it is claimed that
the CarranZa column advancing on
Merida, the state capital, has infiict-
ed two severe defeats on the rebels
and expects soon to occupy the city.
Yucatan recently declared its indie
pendence of all factions.

COTTON UNDER ALLIES BAN
Southern Staple Put on Contraband
List by British Decree.

List by British Decree.
WASHINGTON, d. C.-The British
embassy announces that cargoes OF
cotton consigned to German or Aus
trian ports shall no longer be per-
mitted to proceed by the British pa
trolling fleet. In a statement dealing
with the cotton situation the embassy
says that cargoes of cotton consigned
to neutral ports can go forward under
certain restrictions. But in effect the
embassy, in it's statement, places cot
ton, heretofore not interfered with. In
the contraband class.
This is the first official declaration
supporting England's blockade dec.
laration and it is expected that it
will form he basis for the first con-
crete protest by the United States.
