Copyright in Great Brittany
Berlin, July 27.-Germany, in her
reply to the last American note, must
be firm. Zimmerman, the under
secretary of foreign affairs, this af-

not sanction a discrimination of
submarine warfare.
Zimmerman said that in this day

blows. Germany will never do
anything to bring that about" he
added," and in all possibility we
shall answer the note ina manner
that the writer calls for when he
says, 'be. firm We can never give
up submarine warfare, as you can
see the people will back us up"

intended victims. The sheriff of Schuy-
