ReVentlow, I'VE see only a new proof of
the rightfulness of the position taken by
germany, who has repeatedly warned
neutrals embarking on ships passing
through the war zone. 1t shows also the
disregard OF these warnings by the
United States after having tried through
threats to force Germany to give up her
submarine war on commerce.

The continued German victories against

arabic sinking are printed on the inside
pages, although they contain speculation
or English correspondents that break
between the United States and Germany

The things the Chief Executive was
represented to have said to IN. p" pre-

not generally known to have held.
That such statements should have been

however.

bind himself to carry his British pro-
test 10 the "uttermost" II the busitania

The same view was taken of the state

willingness to discuss the note to Ger

there will be. an agreement for its re-
ception,'" and "also to be ready to in

A statement from the White House con-
cerning the World story was considered
a reasonable probability.
1t was pointed out that President Will
son has confined appointments to his
most trusted advisers since the German
situation became acute. except where GER
tain persons have been received to tender
invitations and the like. The latter have
had no opportunity for general conversa-
tion. Therefore, If the allegations be
true, the leak" must have been from an
