When the bill came up for Anal pas

German Government to continue its sub
marine warfare In any manner IL saw
Al.
He declared that international law
could not be applied to submarines, as
such laws were framed before sub
marines were invented
The prompt action in suppressng the
TdDeseeifuH0 is only one OF several In
dica,ions that the Government is desir-
Gus OF finding COMMON ground for an
understanding with the United States.
The official Norddcatsch ZeitunO,
commenting on the suspension OF the

pa!gn created the impression that official
circles for the sake Of peace with Amer
lea were considering the advisability OF
abandoning the advantages gained by
Gertnanys submarines. while on the
other hand II was asserted that the ad-
dition of the United States to Germany's =
indifference.
The first issue OF the Tages.eifun0
which was suppressed went so far as
to discuss with mockery that was
scarcely concealed the legal standpoint
contained in the German notes to Amer
lea and made personal attack on
leading statesmen who bear the re-
sponsibility OF weighing the dangers and
advantages.
These men, says the Gazette. could not
have been affected by the accusation OF
weakness and lack OF courage. They
have full claim to possess the feeling
OF national strength and dignity. which
Count Won Reventlow thinks that he
alone represents. Such Efforts, the
