BRITISH LAUD WILSON
FOR NOTE TO germany
Westminster Gazette Says 1t Is Chief
Event of War and Ranks with
Great Papers.

| London, May 16.-The Westminster Ga
zette characterizes the American note to
| Germany as the greatest event of the
war. 1t says:
| We are aware that ii will not help
! President Wilson for the citizens of any
| belliGerent nation TO hail him as a
Daniel come to judgment but We can
| not refrain from expressing our sense
of the profound Importance of the Amer
| lean note to the German government to
confine themselves to the case of their
| own citizens. and to pass by that Part
| which concerns noncOmbatants of hcllig-
| erent governments as no concern of
| theirs. They have not taken this course.
| They have taken their stand firmly on
what may be called the common law of
| nations. and on this ground challenge in
its entirety the new kind of subma rine
warfare Germany is trying to establish.
We will not speculate on the sequel
or offer untmely advice on what the
American government may do if their
protest proves Intellectual That is for
them to decide. and they may be relied
upon to defend their honor and their
interests. and to do it all the more earn
estly and seriously because they have
been reluctant to involve themselves in
the affairs of Europe. But We may say
in the meantime. that we count this note.
as from all human and moral points of
view. the greatest event of this war.
The forces are now ranged on one
side or the other of the legal and moral
boundary. and nothing can be as it was
before, when the most powerful of
neutrals has definitely taken its stand
for the great principle affirmed in the
American note"
The Star says:
The American note is a document
which affects the future of the world so
profoundly that it is quite impossible
to eXaggerate its enduring significance. 1t
is not too much 10 say that it ranks
with the Declaration of Independence as
a Notwithstanding proclamation and pledge |
Never since she established the freedom |
and equality and rights of man within |
her borders has America been lifted |
higher by her conscience and courage. |
The voice heard in this note is a new |
voice in the storm of war. 1t is, we are |
not afraid to say. the voice of Christianity !
