as Definite Challenge
BY Associated Press

London, May Is. = The Times. in an
editorial to-day, regarding the Ameri-
can note to Germany, says:
THE American note to Germany, both
in substance and expression. recalls the
best traditions of American diplomacy.
Courteous and ven considerate in
form, it can leave m-Strasse I'M
der no illusions as to the state of
American feeling or the determination
of the United States Government.
Nothing could be more vigorously or
more ~persuasively expressed, and not
only the allies. but the whole world of
neutrals may well rejoice that the
United States has at length spoke out
so forcibly and to the point.
Germany to-day finds herself clearly
confronted with the demand to aban-
don her submarine warfare on shipping.
With that emand we do not for a mo-
men believe she will comply"
The Daily Graphic in an editorial on
the note. has this to say:
THE American note is a definite
challenge, and 1t is difficult to see how
either country. can evade an issue so
clearly stated"
