From the Boston Herald.
President Wilson has never written
a great state paper more exactly suited
vently that in a spirit of reasonable
ness Germany will coincide with the
enlightened position set forth with
clarity and power by the President.
Germany Must Relent.
From the Boston Globe.
President Wilson has not shirked
note clearly shows that Germany must
relent or take whatever consequences
We may decide to adopt.
England the Guilty Party.
From the Cincinnati Freie Presse
The part of the note dealing with the
loss of lives in the Lusitania catastro-
phe more properly ought to have been
directed to London. England alone is
responsible for the Lusitania's destruc-
tion through her brutal threat to starve
a nation. Germany cannot stop the un-
dersea war without surrendering her
self bound hand and foot, to a brutal
enemy. We are not obliged and have
no right to set up ourselves as the pro-
tectors of British shipping
Admits of Solution.
From the Cincinnati volksbatt.
The note is isappointing in that 1t
disregards the just complaints of Ger
many and appears to espousethe cause
of Great Britain. We think that the
difficulty admits of satisfactory so
luton by advising American citizens
to travel on American vessels Unwill
ingly the President shelters British
cowardice, which tries to make British
ships immune to German attacks by

Appeal to German Sanity.
From the Boston Post.
The note is all that such a message
from a justly aggrived nation to the
aggressor nation should be. In it is
the voice of the American people at it's
finest and best. 1t is powerful ap-
peal to German sanity.
American Rights Upheld.
From the St Louis Republic.
There is not in the note any slightest
hint that this government will stop
short of the fullest reparation for the
past, and the guarantee of the recogni-
tion of the full rights of American citi-
zens in the future.
Hope for Understanding.
From the St Louis westliche Post
For the press of the whole country
there is at present but one sacred duty.
to leave nothing undone to avert inner
strife. That We Americans of German
descent with bleeding heart contem-
plate the possibility of an armed con-
flict between the United States and the
land of our forefathers, no fair-minded
person will condemn us for. There still
is hope for an honorable understanding
on both sides. May Providence grant
that the worst be averted
Forceful Diplomacy.
From the St Paul PioneerPress
The American note reached to Won
derful height of forceful diplomacy.
Hoping for the best. the universal
American sentiment will be that Amer
ica has done it's duty, and the people
will support the President through
whatever may be the consequences.
Dignified Protest.
From the Springfield Gll) State Journal.
1t is the dignifed protest of nation
which. while feeling that its rights and
the rights of other neutrals have been
violated, is neither vindictive nor re-
sentful.
Germany Should Heed Note.
From the Boston Journal.
President Wilson's words are those CT
a patriot. We cannot believe that
nation which is bound by SO many ties
of friendship to this nation is SO far
possessed by war madness that she will
fail to heed the message.
Germany May Choose.
From the Philadelphia Record.
The note is in every respect mas
terly document. 1t puts the German
government squarely in the position OF
choosing whether it will obey the die
tates Of conscience, reason and human
ity, and retain the friendship of the
United States, or accept the stigma Of
an outlaw nation and deliberately pro-
woke a new quarrel. There can be no
mistaking the concluding paragraph
of the American note.
Could Not Demand Less.
From the Manchester G. H. Cpion
The United States could not have de-
