York World.
New York Sun: The note, in the
Of it's tone, it's logical
progress, and it's marshalling of evil
dence and precdents, reflects exactly
American sentiment and describes ac-
curately American purpose. We stand
upon the law, and demand that Great
Britain shall obey that law; and in
this the administration only expresses
the will of the American people.
New York World: On such show
ing of outrage as is here made, the
terms of the American protest which
are 1awyer-like throughout must be
regarded as exceedingly temperate.
To gain military advantage more or
less important Great Britain has be-
come a grievous offender against it's
own cherished principles, against sew
eral of the small nations of Europe
which it has assumed to champion, and
against the best and most powerful
friend that it has among all the
neutrals of the earth. 1t has not killed
Americans; it has killed American
rights. It has done more than seize
American property; it has seized the
opportunity thus wantonly gained to
extend it's own trade. If even
a CLEAN of sense can penetrate Down.
ing street the British government must
soon perceive that unless it changes
it's methods it's own accountants viii
have something to do presently.
Baltimore American: Great Britain
has indulged in no murderous work
but she has destroyed mill
lions of dollars of American property.
This is the gravest charge the United
mighty serious charge, one that may
endanger the friendship of the two
great English-speaking nations.
San Antonio (Texas) Express: It
is cause of satisfaction that the is
sue is put so squarely before Great
Britain. The continued violation of
law of nations is indefensible.
Indianapolis Star: The whole range
of British contentious is brushed aside
as untenab1e, and even offensive.
This note puts up to the British gov
ernmetn very sharply defined choice
betwe zen radical amendment of its
course and conscious defiance of the
United States.
Knoxville Journal and Tribune: The
President strips the alleged embargo
of it's gauzy garments, exposes its
nakedness and it's pretense and hypoc-
risy.
Cincinnati Freie Presse: President
Wilson's note to Great Britain is not
likely to cause apprehension in
Downing street. It insists, of course,
that the American government cannot
submit to further disregard of inter-
national law, but nothing contained in
the note suggests that further viola
ton of American represents by Great
Britain would be considered as uu-
friendly act-a tone so readily adopt
ed in our diplomatic intercourse with
Berlin.
Pittsburg Gazette Times: The Amer
lean note to Great Britain is clear and
| unqualified in it's rejection of the Brit
ish contentious and in that respect
will command cordial support in the
t United States. Nevertheless, when you
get through with it there still remains
the old question, what is our govern
t ment going to do about it?"
I'll Pittsburg Dispatch: The note = I

feet in causing the British government
: to alter it's high-handed course is un
q likely.
