the United States and Germany are
hereafter impossible unless Germany re-

campaign of murder which finds Ameri-

Times.-Even as a means OF securing

reassuringly. Possibly the German
Government is doing some hard thinking

Of regret will undoubtedly please Presi-
dent Wilson because they convey the
inference that Germany disavows all in

German Ambassador made to the Ameri-
can State Department upon instructions
from Berlin. Every friend OF America
must. Of course be anxious that this
country be kept out Of the world war.
To US German Americans the establish
ment and the furtherance OF friendly
relations between the two countries must
be particularly a hearts desire.
With good will on both sides a way
must be ound for the removal Of the
present difficulties, In the meantime
we record with qualification the fact
that the newspapers printed In English
heaved a sigh OF relief in their vening
editions yesterday when II was made
known that the German Ambassador had
