Our Message to Germany.

The Presidents note meets and
thoroughly satisfies the national ex-
pectation both in its substance and
in It's form.
The forecast OF our message to
Germany is found to be accurate.
The words in which the President has
clothed our appeal To conscience and
our demand of right arc naturally
inspected as under Il microscope.
Reparation for the past and 9uaran-
tees for the future are cNactcd as
clearly tand more effectively so tar as
any prospect OF compliance IS con-
ccrned) by the language of courteous
consideration which is employed as by
harsher and more heated words. The
warning notification that the United
States will not omit any word or
any act necessary to the performance
of its sacred duty OF maintaining the
rights OF the United States and its
citizens and Of safeguarding their free
exercise and enjoyment is given as
distinctly. as firmly, and as impress
ively by the indirect method that is
employed as it would be by direct
threat.
In respect to one point the Presi-
dent has gone farther than was an
ticipated. Not conhning himself to
the specific cases under discussion, he
seems to challenge broadly the use of
the submarine in enforcing blockade
and in attacking unarmed belligerent
merchant ships. His appeal is to the
humane and enlightened Germany of
the past as against the war-mad Ger
many of the present.
Along which course will the Ger
many of the future be directed? Be-
cause England has unlawfully taken
measures which tend perhaps to
threaten some German non-combat-
ant with possible starvation in the
remote or uncertain future shall Ger
many today in retaliation unlawfully
kill with premeditation American
men, women and children? Shall
Germany on the ground of such re-
taliation even slaughter non-com-
5atant belligerents on unarmed mer-
chant ships?
Our direct and immediate concern
in the German answer to the last
question is perhaps limited in appli-
cation to cases wherein American
lives are lost in the indiscriminating
slaughter by submarine. But the
broader issue suggested by the Presi-
dent in his challenge of the justice
and humanity OF using the submarine
to enforce blockades and to attack
unarmed belligerent merchantmen
will be discussed and decided in the
post-bellum settlement by the world
OF the new international law
The new world and the old await
anxiously the response of the Ger
man ruler and the German nation to
the American representations ad-
dressed to their reason, their con-
science and their humanity. What
shall the answer be?

The Middle States.

A staff correspondent of The Star,
now ON tour, describes in letter
from indianapolis political conditions
in Indiana, and shows the strength of
Mr.. Fairbanks at home. His friends
earnestly hope for his nomination
next year for President. But if they
cannot achieve that they will insist
upon a man from the middle west, 4
good protectionist, though not a re-
dictionary, and that James R. Mann
of Illinois is likely to be much in
favor"
This statement then follows:
THE sentiment among republicans
here is that the party candidate must
be chosen from the great middle
west. They do not believe that Penn
sylvania or New York can present a
candidate who would hold the pro-
gressive vote 1t is we'll understood
among all the leaders that the nomi-
nee is to be chosen in an Embossed
convention and selected for his
strength before the people. Indiana
and Illinois are likely, it is said, to
be in very close touch with each
other, and if the favorite son of one
state cannot get it the others favor
ite may receive the combined
strength of the two"
The republicans have gone to New
York but once for their presidential
candidate. They nominated Mr.. Lin
coin, a middle state man, over Mr..
Seward, a New Yorker. Gen. Grant
was accredited to Illinois. Mr..
Hayes, a Buckeye, was nominated
over Mr.. Conkling, New Yorker.
Gen. Garfield was a Buckeye. Gen.
Harrison, an Indianian, was chosen
over Mr.. Depew, New Yorker. Mr..
Mckinley was middle state man.
Mr.. Roosevelt, New Yorker, was
nominated in 1904, not because of
locality, but because he was in Office
and the logical expression of the
party's appeal that year.
Pennsylvania is not in, and cannot
be brought into, the calculation. She
is not in the slightest degree pivotal,
but marked as certain" by the re-
publicans whoever carries the stand
ard.
New York, on the other hand, is
important for the republicans, and
the New Workers are preparing to
emphasize the fact at the national
convention. They will present the
name of a favorite son, with the as
surance that with him in the lead
the state will be safe in November.
At the same time the record shows
the magnitude of their task. An
extraordinary effort will be necessary
to execute it. The middle section of
the country, which has won so often
over New York, will be strong in the
nominating convention next year. Its
favorite sons are well known, and OF
presidential size. All have had sue
cess in high office. All are rated as
good republicans. Three of them
Mr.. Fairbanks, Mr.. Mann and Mr..
Burton-are intimately associated
with much important national busi-
ness transacted within the past few
years, and, therefore, are live
wires"
A very pretty game is in progress,
and the winners will earn all they
get. The middle staters are not rated
as equaling the New Yorkers in
skill. but they play we'll, and, with
good hands, are very formidable.
They hold good hands now.
