Safety Methods the Problem

(From the Philadelphia Inqufrer1
 The crisis brought about by the sinking of the Arabic has been pass ed If Germany scfc1<s to the assur- ances which she has given the United States through her Ambassador at Washington, great victory will have been won and what has constituted serious menace to peace will have dis appeared.
 The position of the United States all along has been inpregnab1e and unshakable.i The victory is complete, so far as 'principIe'' is concerned. We shall now see whether it is complete Tn the actual operations of the sub marines. In what manner is safety of human life to be guaranteed? That is the vital question that applies to the future.

A Splendid Vindication. From the Boston Herald.

The Imperial German governme ent has exhibited slight regard for the sensibilities of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and other denouncers of elocution, as contrasted with action. For the Presidents De1phic phrase that some people are too proud to fight he has suffered many jibe. All that the. world now needs to know is that he did not fight when he might have done SO, and that the aim of his endeavors, so far as American interests on the sea are concerned. has now been amply realized This dents course. For his wisdom and patience in working out a trouble some complication he is entitled to the gratitude of his fellow country men.

GERMAN PAPERS SILENT
 ON CHANGE IN POLICY

London, Sept. 2.-~The German pulp lie has been kept in ignorance of, any concession to the United States con corning submarine warfare according to the London Times. which asserts that German newspapers of Saturday and Sunday make no mention of change in policy and refer only briefly to the Arabic case.
 The British admiralty's revelations regarding the loss of many subna- rines also has been concealed from the German people, the Times asserts.

Answers Wilson's Critics

(F'rom The Cleveland Plain Dea1er)
 Germanyss complete acceptance Of America.s interpretation of 1nterna- tiona1 law relative to the activities of undersea craft furnishes a suffi- cient answer to two groups of critics in this country. On the one haAd, tn e any-price pacificfsts, who have de-. cried the Administrators insistence that be1ligerents should respect the rights of neutrals because it, was pro- vocatiye of war, see the folly of their stand. On the other hand the jim goes, who have criticised the Govern ment's stand as coward1y because it has preferred diplomacy to bIuster, and who would have had this nation declare war as the only fit reply to the Lusitania and the Arabic incidents may now observe the complete tri- unnph of methods they deemed made Quate.

4 Diplomatic Triumph.
From The Baltimore Sun.

From The Baltimore Sun.
 It may be that Germany has con cluded that this concession is the best way to aid the Washington govern ment to induce England to remove the ban cotton. It may be that Germany has finally realized that the submarine warfare upon non-com- batants, women and little children, is barbarism and if persisted in would make her an outlaw. But, be that as it may, the outcome is diplomatic triumph which will bring enduring re noWn to the administration of Wood row Wilson and put his critics-the war party and the peace-at-any- price party-to confusion.
 The scene now shifts to England.

.i A Bluff As Good As -Four Aces
 (From The Cincinnati Commercial
 Tribune.)
 Since this nation. at no time has oc- cupied an uncom mpromisingly bellicose position and has been more interest ed in securing results than in ex- plotting a fictitious dignity, the Gov ernment we'll may afford to forget the brusque and undiplomatic language of the German notes written at a. time when the Wi1he1strasse statesmen thought Uncle Sam was sitting in the game with a pair of deuces. / Whether or not their original estimate was cor rect is immateria1. A bluff is as good as four aces so long as it isn't called, and somewhere in the Inner sub-consciouSness of the Teutonic mind there must have been a. doubt that it was altogether bluff.

From The Baltimore American.
 While Germany's formal agreement to the demands of this Government regarding submarine warfare is a brilliant victory for President Wilson and Secretary Lansing, it is more than that It is an open confession on the part of Germany that it's undersea campaign has been in direct violation of international law. To this admis- sion must be added the fact that it has been carried on with utter disre- gard of all laws of humanity.

Fundamental Principle Recognized

 .It appears to be a recognition of the fundamental principle for which we have contended.,
 Such is the comment of the Secre- tary Of State upon the note that the German Ambassador sent to him yes- terday. There could hardly be a better statement of the case. There is no definite explanation or dis avowa1 of the sinking of the Arabic, no formal apology for a '<de1iberate1y unfriend1y acf.' But if Germany now redeems the pledge which the Am- bassador has given. if no more liners are sunk by German submarines without warning and provision for the safety of non-combatants. then the point for which the Administration has so earnestly contended will have been gained.

Triumph For All Neutra1s From The C1evafaud Teader1

6F'rom The Cleveland ,Leader)
 The success of the United States in tfons of the German submarine war Is a triumph, ofscourse, for all neutral countries It is far wider and finer than any possible advantage limited to this republic alone. It is a gain for humanity, a vindication of those who have insisted that no power could be great enough to place it's war time needs above the rights of neufrals. Beyond doubt the United States will now exert heavy pressure upon Great Britain and France and their allies for the further advantage of neutraIs and the honor of mankinn.

The Better Geqnany

Led by woodrow Wilson, the Unf- ted States has won a great victory for law and order. Germany, in acceding to our demands, has just awakened to her better self. This is the Germany whom we have known so long. with whom we have been friends for years.
 The greatest thing that Germany could do to today would be to repu- diate and abandon other practices by which she has anenated the sympathy of the neutral world, to disavow and make all possible reparation for her sin against Belgium.

Three Glasses Discredited (F7rom The Pittsburgh Gazette

Germany having admitted the Iegi- timacy of our demands, where does this leave those 1oudrvoiced members of our home guard who have been consistently virulent critics of their country's course? There have been three classes of these critics: The pro- Germans, who in any dispute hastened to give the benefit of the doubt to the Father1and: the jingoes, who howled for war without waiting for the aggr essor to explain or justify or offer disavowal and reparatton and who condemned the American Admin istration's policy before giving it a chance to make good; and the peace at-any-price folk, who wanted Presi- dent Wilson to back down for fear he might plunge the Nation into war. Now by Germany's action all three classes have been thoroughly discred- ited.

(From The Kansas City Star)
 The great service that MT. Wilson will have rendered to the American people is doubly- enhanced by the fact that it was a service pereformed for all humanity, in the name of human ity. The. highest ideals, not only of the American Republic but of civiliza- ton, were contended for by the Amer ican President. They have been con- sceded, as it now appears, by the Inn periaI Government. That this great result will have been reached with out a. serious break, in international relations will bring deep satisfaction sto the United States.

Count Von Bernstorf told Secretary Lansing that the German government had authorized him to say that Timers will not be sunk by our submarines without warming etc. Liners are not the only merchantmen on the sea In fact, they constitute a very small part of the worlds shipping. Our contention has been that peacefuIs nlsrchantment must not be sunk with-' out warning or without visit and search and opportunity for non-cor11-. batants to escape. Our contention was never limited to the big liners.

 Now that Germany shows some signs of being willing to abandon its bar barous methods and evidence of little respect for this country, in conformity to international law, we can with more grace approach Great Britain in the matter of it's interference with our trade with the Continent of Europe. Perhaps Germany has at last sensed the value of this with relation to it's own affairs. If SO, it was a long while seeing the light.
