BRITISH PRESS APPLAUDS
REPLY TO The KAISER
By The United Press.

LONDON, July 24-The British
press today, practically without excep-
ton, applauded the latest American
note 70 Germany. Brief editorial COM
ments, preceding the published text,
emphasized the frmness Of President
Wilson's missive and declared that
Germany must now either back down
or be prepared for grave conse-
euenees.
The Evening Standard predicted
that Germany will ignore the warning
and will continue to torpedo ships
aboard which Americans are passen-
gers, as IL the note was never written.
THE drowning of more Americans
will soon force President Wilson to
show what backing he is prepared to
give 10 his statement said the
Standard.
President Wilson used the strong
est words diplomacy could employ
without breaking off relations" was
the observation of the Westminster
Gazette
The Pail Mall Gazette commented as
follows, The American note shows
an inhoXible resolve TO hold Germany
responsible and not 10 let sophlstries
! disguise outrageous acts. Its plain
ness is Of the kind that he who runs
amuck may read"
The Evening Star headlined the
note Firm and in its comment de-
clared
Americas message is couched in
plain, unmistakable language which
will be little relished in Berlin. Thus
Germany's frantic efforts TO Justify
her piratical methods In the eyes OF
the people of the United States have
definitely and finally failed.
"rhe notes grave tone is most &C
centuated in the warning TO Germany
that future attacks imperiling the lives
Of American citizens will be regarded
as deliberately unfriendly."

BY The United Press
WASHINGTON, July 2t.-president
Wilson will map out, on his return
from Cornish, a fair, reasonable and
practicable" program of national de-
Tense. the White House announced to-
day This program will be based
upon conferences between the Presi-
dent and the secretaries Of the navy
and war. During his stay at Cornish
the President will devote much Of his
time to the defense problem, it was
stated.
The White House Official statement
follows.
THE Pres Aert has been consider
ing every .ae Of this Important
matter, and intends, while away, 20
give much Of his time to a full con-
sideration Of It, Upon his return
from Cornish there Will doubtless be
conferences between him and the Sec
retaries Of the navy and war. The
purpose OF these conferences will be
10 procure information upon which he
can base a fair, reasonable and prGcti-
cal program OF national defense"
Coming within "a hours of the re-
ceipt of the third American note on
submarine warfare, the White House
statement was regarded as Of peculiar
Significance. Al the earliest possible
moment it was believed, Secretaries
Daniels and Garrison, OF the Navy and
War Departments, will submit 10 the
President all available information in
their possession.
Il was understood this information
will be dispatched to Cornish 10 en-
able the President to gain further
insight into the big national defense
problem he has shouldered.
Regardless Of the apparent signif-
canoe Of the Presidents move, the
impression was gaining ground in
Washington today that the United
States is further than ever removed
from war with Germany. There was a
strong conviction that Germany will
meet the submarine warfare demands
OF this government rather than widen
the breach between the two nations.
On the other hand. the opinion pre-
vailed that the President believes ma
! tional defense is a theme very close
70 the American people. Particular
~ by reason Of the European war
and the frequent assertion that
America practically is unprepared for
war with a first class power
II was learned today that the
President addressed letters TO Secre-
taries Daniels and Garrison on this
subject several weeks ago.
