Inspector Murasky,s case was short.
He was charged with furious driving,
being on the wrong side of the street
and, driving without lights. Only the
first charge was heard In q brief
statement, Murasky said he was per-

not control it. He said his tail-light

THE GERMAN REPLY REAssURING.

Germany Is prompt acquiescence in the spirit
Of the United States note concerning submarine
warfare and neutral commerce is extremely
gratifying to the American people.
1t is no small thing for Germany to concede,
as yesterday s dispatches to the Star Bulletin
indicated She has conceded, that her submarines

the proclaimed "war zone before attacking
these ships for carrying. contraband or sailing
under neutral colors to secure immunity Ger
many's proclamation was issued in the face Of
extreme need, as the kaiser IS government frank
" admitted. Her war on British commerce is
an offensive measure adopted only because of
absolutely vital interests Part of the effect
iveness of that war consists in spreading the
feeling among British masters that they cannot
hope for protection by hoisting neutral flag
And in conceding now that vessels carrying
neutral flags cannot be sunk without prior in
yestigation, Germany lays down one of her most
potent weapons.
The German reply relieves those uniformed
Americans deeply alarmed and distressed be
cause of fear of an open break between the
United States and the Teutons and It eonfOunds
the jingoes who shout war and the croakers
who predict it because Of the administration s
diplomacy.
Whether one agrees or disagfees with Will

himself no weakling in the greatest emergency
that has confronted chief executive since
Lincoln calmly faced the Civil, War The press
and the people of the belligerent countries may
rail at the United States because it stands neu-
trail, but the chancellories and the embassies
are well aware that up to the present time
Uncle Sam has not compromised his impartial
position The German note is d profound trib-
