WILL NOT ALTER ITS
SUBMARINE PROGRAM
German Press Declares Great Britain
Must First Change Its Illegal
Procedure.

Berlin. July 2s.via London.-@The
comment of the principal provincial
newspaper agrees with that OF the
Berlin press-that the American note
Is entirely unsatisfactory and leaves
Germany no alternative except to con-
tinue her submarine warfare against
hostile commerce, regardless of conse-
quences, unless "Great'Britain. as a re-
suit of the forthcoming note from
Washington, sees fit to change her
Illegal blockade policy"
The Koelnische Zeitung, after re-
viewing the various steps in the
negotiations, says:
The German and American stand
points at the end are as far apart as
at the beginning, and an understand
ing is utterly impossible on the basis
offered by the United States.
Germany will neither disavow the
sinking OF the Lusitania nor offer in
Identification for the lives OF the reck-
less Americans who persisted on the
steamer. Germany will continue her
submarine warfare in the same man
ner as in the past two months. She
will continue TO show consideration to-
ward American ships and passengers,
and will hope naturally. that develop
ments will not lead to sharpening of
relations with the United States
Germany Stands Firm.
The Frankfurter Zeitung also holds
that Germany cannot make disavowal
of, or give compensation for, the sink
ing of the Lusitania. The reasons. as
set forth, are: First. because 1t would
shift the blame to the shoulders of the
brave officer who acted according to
orders. and, second. because payment
for compensation would be misinter-
preted as recognition that Germany
was In the wrong"
The concluding phrase of the Ameri-
can note is described as IAN earnest
declaration. whose significance and
possible consequence are not open 10
doubt but which cannot terribly US"
The newspaper continues: Germany
cannot afford to abandon her subma-
rine warfare because OF threats, and II
President Wilson persists in his dog
matte views. the world must bear the
consequences
The Frankfurter Zeitung, however
says that the last word has not been
spoken. and expresses the hope that II
ssfill possible to reach an understand
ing.
