BERLIN PRESS PUZZLES

wAsnrHoroN. May oo-The increas-

the issue II raises will regard TO the

noted here. Difficulty Is found in separat-
ing the fact of the known control VI
the German press by the Government
n the character Of such newspaper
expressions as have been transmitted
10 the United states In the last two
days. az expectations as to the char
acter OF the reply which Germany will
send are largely based on the comment.
Activities Of those who n few days
ago were 40 hard at work disseminating
the German view Of the Presidents
note and suggesting numerous counter
preparations and possible compromises
have been greatly lessened in the last
few days. The representations made
unoflcially In these quarters have been
r%epudiated by the comment IN German
newspapers and In such interviews with
Germany's public men as have been
published In the United States
II was suggested to-day that the abb
sence OF the Kaiser from Berlin on a
tour OF the ba'tlefronts may bc the
chief cause of the delay Of the German
Government in sending q reply to Prcsi-
dent Wilson'S note. II had been prnvi-
ously supposed that the situation with
respect to Italy was the reason for the
delay. II is pointed out in German official
quarters that naturally no action would
be taken on a matter Of such great
Importance as the Presidents note
without consultation with the Emperor.

PROMISE OF RELIEF.

OF reports that the British authorities
are exertirg themselves to relieve Amer
lean shippers of some of the difficulties
they have been experiencing with the
British Government was received hero
to-day in the form OF an announcement
by the British Embassy. Ambassador
Page at London also reported that the
situation was improving.
TIT emDassy's statement follows:
THE British Embassy is informed
that the British Government In doine
all 1t can to expedite the purchase of
cotton 'cargoes, and is in direct COM
munication for this purpose with the
American cotton representative in Lon
don. Payment will be made without de-
lay In each case to the proper parties
on proof that they are the persons en-
titled to payment and on furnishing evil
dence OF contract price. Need for these
particulars is now the only obstacle to
payment"
Much satisfaction was felt In cficial
quarters over Ambassador Pages report
OF an Improvement In the situation. The
Increase OF the British efforts to remedy
the wrongs suffered by American ship
pers is attributed partly to the urgent
representations OF Ambassador Page,
on instructions from Washington. and
pa rtly to unofficial reports sent out
OF this country to the effect that tho
United States Government was preparing
to send another formal note OF protest
against some q The British practices
in regard to interference with neutral
trade.
That eventually another note will he
sent to Great Britain dealing with ques-
tions Of interference with trad and
matters OF contraband Is expected here.

After thoughtfully CONSIDERING the

Isolation No Guarantee.

Our lack Of aggressive intention and
our righteous intentions minimize the
sources and causes OF war. but We
ourselves have frequently been at
war. Our isolation has not. as a
fact, assured our freedom from con

isolated have been involved In war,
and no sound reason can be adduced
which would Justify a sane man In
concluding that isolation alone spells
