FROM ENGLAND

London. July II. l2.i5 A. M.-The
london morning newspapers in their
comment on the German reply to the
United States concerning Germany's
submarine warfare. declare that it is
q complete negation of everything Pres
tdent Wilson contended for, and con-
veyed in impudent and insulting terms.
The Morning Post finds something
almost comic in this presentation of a
humane power anxious for the liberty
OF the seas and for the lives of descend
ants of John Adams and Benjamin
Franklin, holding the stop-watch over
its submarine atrocities in order to
discover the margin of safety"
The Morning Post points out that
while Germany has destroyed num-
berless american citizens and much
American property during the war
the allies have killed TO Americans nor
sunk any American ships II adds that
the Washington government has been
shown that Germany does not care a
snap Of her fingers for American lives,
right or property.
The newspaper discovers a curious
resemblance between the arguments in
the German note and the arguments
advanced recently in the North Amer
lean Review by Norman Angel, and
says that. put into plain English, the
German proposal is that America
should ally herself with Germany TO
put an end to the war by a blockade"
The Daily Chronicle says the Ger
man proposal 20 license steamers to
carry Americans negates the whole pc
sition which President Wilson took up
and declared himself ready to main
tain by any necessary steps and in
that sense, because il is more definite
and final. the new note is even more
unsatisfactory than its predecessor.
The Daily Telegraph characterizes
the note az the most astonishing utter
ance of the mind OF Berlin made in
the last i months AS far as insult
and insolence can be carried on without
resort 10 actual language Of contempt
and defiance. the Daily Telegraph
adds, they are carried on in this doc
Lment."
