ANTI
FEELING GROWING

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 12.-
Diplomats and government officials
are surprised at the "kick" in the
notes sent to Germany and England
Some authorities declared that the
note to Germany would require the
United States to declare war on Ger
many should she sink American ships
in the war zone. The administration
officials held despite the strength of
the tone of both notes neither would
involve the country in difficulties
abroad. They claim to believe that
England and Germany acquiesce to
Americas position assuring her the
safety of shipping and passengers.
The notes, it is announced, were
drafted by Counsellor Lansing of the
state department, but it is limited that
Wilson furnished many ideas. Sec
retary Bryan, it is understood, had
practically no hand in the drafting.
LONDON, Feb. 12.-That America
intends to fully protect all her rights
and privileges is the construction
placed on the notes to Germany and
England. The communications were
distinct surprise to the majority of
diplomats. There is a general dis
position to resent the state depart
ment's assumption of "the misuse of
neutral flags" without seeking official
information from the British foreign
office.
The general feeling is that the note
to Germany is sharper than the one
to England, but there is no disguis-
ing the fact that anti-American feel
ing is growing in England. 1t is
based on the belief that America
should openly sympathize with the al
lies.
