French Approval.
Paris.-The full text of President
Wilson's note to the German govern
ment, published today in French pa
pers, elicits unanimous satisfae fion
and enthusiasm. LIE Figaro, LIE Matin
and LIE Echo de Paris, the organ of
the French army, gave prominence
to editorial comments, stating In sub
stance that those who feared the
president would hesitate to do his
duty found no confirmation of their
fears in Wilson's calm, dignif1ed de-
termination to re-estabIish interna-
tional justice and the rights OF ma
tions.
CIemenceau Moved to Praise.
Senator Georges Clemenceau, whose
criticisms in his caustic journal, Il
Homme Enchaine, of certain neutral
governments owing to their apathy at
the German violation of Belgian neu-
trality have hitherto been written in
a vein of 1nocking skepticism, earning
for the former demolisher Of cabin
cts the name Of the Euripides of the
third French republic, today for the
first time turns over new leaf and
in his editorial, entitled "The Logic
of Events" declares those two Ger
man torpedoes exploding under the
Lusitania's keel have erystalized the
Washington cabinets conceptions of
International jurisprudence, not sexr
pressed at the violation of Belgian
neutrality nor at the wanton waste
of Louyain, Dinant and scores of
other towns.
The American note also gives pres
tige and popularity to Ambassador
Sharp, whose frequent conversations
with Theoppile Del Casse, minister of
foreign affairs, have enabled the gov
ernment to appreciate his calm, un-
ostentatious and sound common sense
views and methods.
Another characteristic feature is a

caricaturist Arnist Forain in Opinion.

Continuation Of Submarine Warfare Expected,
But Time to Leave Unarmed Ship May
Possibly Be Hereafter Given.
Crisis in English Cabinet May Result in Numerous Changes
in Membership Opinion Warmly Supports
President Wilson's Attitude

Cablegrams announce that the reply
by Germany to President Wilson'S
note is not expected to reach Wash
ington until the latter part of the
week. 1t is rumored that the kaiser's
government will send the reply today
tThursday), but the general expecta-
tion is that it will not be received
here until Friday or possibly Satur
day.
Refusal Forecasted.
1t is generally believed that Ger
many will not accede to the American
proposal. 1t is held that Germany
cannot now recede from its subma-
rine blockade and that the German
government will so declare in its
answer to the American demand.
The contention of Germany is, ac-
cording to unofficial information, that
the German government is justified
in resorting to any means to save its
people, and that the German sub
marine blockade is but a measure
taken in retaliation of the English
attempt to starve out the Germans
by preventing the landing of supplies
The English government did not of
ficially proclaim blockade, but the
erect was the same as If one had
been declared. The German answer
was the submarine warfare.
u. S. Sympathy.
The German answer, however, ac-
cording to unofficial sources, will be
couched in very mild terms. The
need OF American sympathy is said
to be felt in both Austria and Ger
many, and tile German government
does not wish to ALLEVIATE the sympa-
thies of a large class of the American
people.
The general tone of those German
Americans who have publicly express
SEQ themselves since the forwarding
of the presidents note is to the effect
that the former German subjects who
are now citizens o3 the United States
sustain President Wilson's position
and have announced their determin-
alton to stand by the United States
government in the event Of trouble
between it and the fatherland.

Snipes and hide 1t away in his breast and
he had also seen him slip 1t cautiously
to the girl as she entered the cabin door.
He did not understand anything of the
motives behind all that he had seen; but,
somehow intuitively he liked the young
man and the two old men, and for the
girl he had strange longing which &c
scarcely understood. AS for the big blaCi
woman, she was evidently connected in
some way to the girl, and so he liked
her. also.
For the sailors, and especially Snipes,
he had developed great hatred. He
knew by their threatening gestures and
by the expressions upon their evil faces
that they were enemies OF the others of
the party, and so he decided to watch
them closely.
Tarzan wondered why the men had gone
into the jungle, nor did 1t ever occur to
him that one could become lost in that
maze of underground which to him was as
simple as is the main street of your own
homo town to you.
