A GRAVE CRISIS.

The crisis which confronts the
United States today, will be more fully
appreciated ten or twenty or hun
dre~ gears from now. 1t is probably
the gravest problem since the civil
war. Without their fully approaching
1t, the American people will be severe
ly tested as to whether or not they
will be able to subdue their indigna-
ton over the unjustiiable sinking Of
the Lusitania and the Staying in cold
blood Of hundreds of acknowledgements
and women and children. If the peo-
pie will remain calm, they will be in
a better way to meet the problem and
obtain their desired ends whether
through diplomacy or other and more
forceful measures. 1t behooves them
10 act with the utmost deliberation
and only after every other step has
been taken, will war be justifiable.
This is the sentiment expressed in
the special editorial feature on this
page today. Professor George w.
Kirchwey, law authority at Columbia
university and recognized throughout
the world, is the author of the feature
editorial. The professors views are
those of a man trained to look deep
into subjects and determine what is
justice and what is mere emotion.

pRoHLEM FOR WIsEMEN.

The Chicago Tribune, one time firm
adherent to any principle elucidated
by Col Roosevelt, and still pretty
much follower of the former presi-
dent, takes the lead in criticising the
colonel for his warlike utterances on
the problem occasioned the Wilson ad-
ministration and the country in gen
eral by the, blowing up of the Lusi-
tania. The colonel has demanded war
in retaliation for wrongs that he be-
lieves Germany has done the United
States. The Tribune credits the
former president with being sincere
in his views and willing to be in the
front rank or place of greatest dan
ger in such an event, but advises him
to control his speech and permit
wiser and less impetuous heads to
decide what the course Of action OF
the United States shall be. He is re-
minded that this is a problem for the
colder tribesmen and the wise men"
to work out and is not for the young
bucks and the reckless to decide.

SEES NO WORLD PEACE.

Those who dream of universal peace
and "the substitution of law for war"
were taken to task by Philip Marshall
Brown, former United States minister
to Honduras, in an address delivered
today before the Lake Mohonk con-
ference on international arbitration.
Mr.. Brown, who is now professor OF
international law and diplomacy at
Princeton university, asserted that
much of the effort of the peace advo-
Gates was wasted because 1t was pure
~ idealistic and impractical.
Eve ought now to be conscious of
the fact that a splendid amount of
idealism has been sadly misdirected,"
he said. I'VE have urged disarma-
mont when nations knew that it was
Impractical and that to do so would
be to invite disaster We have urged
arbitration as q general panacea for in
ternational Ills when it should have
been evident that arbitration has its
most decided limitations and is incap-
able of adjusting momentous questions
Of a political, non-political, judicious
character. We have sought to estab-
lish courts of justice when there was
little or no law for the courts to admin
lister. We have pleaded for interna-
tional order when there was no force
to keep order. We have exalted peace
over justice and failed to ensure
righteousness. We have blindly
accepted the intolerable interna-
tional status quo with no thought
of redressing the wrongs of out
ragged nationalities. We have con-
sidered peace as something tangible
to be attained through agreement and
have failed to realize that peace is a
state; resultant Of actual f1uctuating
conditions which In themselves, in
last analysis, depend internationally,
as within any community on the intel
ligence, morality, and sense Of justice
Of the average man."

The plank did not get through without
opposition Victor Berger Of Wiscon-
sin, former congressman, and George
r. Lunn, former mayor Of Schenec-
tady, N. Y, insisted that the right to
fight for national existence must be
recognized. The vote for the pro-
gram, however, showed large major
ity. It's essentials are:
No indemnities; no transfer Of ter
ritory except by consent Of citizens OF
the territory affected. A united states
of the world with world court, an
international legislature, international
control of strategic waterways such
as the Dardanelles. Naturalization of

changes In all countries to eliminate
the economic causes of war. \

The German-Americans must suffer In
any conflict between the United States
and Germany pains of which their fell
low citizens can never know anything.
It is rather q time for showing them
the greatest degree of consideration.
They have fought to uphold the flag
in the past and they will do so again,
against any enemy Whatsoever They
til they have forfeited the right to
claim them. There has never been
but one flag under which the German.
American has fought. There never
can be but one flag under which he
will fight. And that flag is the stars
and stripes"
Louisville Courier-Journal: The
note of Germany meets the require
ments and is such as the government
Of the United States should address to
Berlin. The president leaves little
room for parley and none other than
mouthings of rupture remains for Ger
many.
Louisville Anzeiger: We agree with
the president that the German govern
ment must explain the loss Of the lives
of American passengers but we do not
think that the death of Americans
gives the president the right to de-
mand the cessation Of Germanys un-
dersea warfare against British COM
merce so long as England does not
abrogate its starvation warfare
Chicago Tribune: Whatever the
fate of our relations with Germany,
the president undoubtedly has voiced
the sentiment of the nation on the use
of the submarine a1d as to the rights
of neutrals on the high seas.
Chicago Herald: There is now no
possibility of mistaking the position
of our government. And it is posi-
ton in which the American people
will sustain their government in what
ever measures may be necessary to
uphold 1t.

EDITORIAL COMMENT ON NOTE
TO GERMANY.

President Wilson's note to Germany
was editorially commented on through
out the United States today. The fol-
lowing are excerpts from editorials
given as showing American sentiment:
New York Times: It is the great
diplomatic achievement of the note
that it puts on Germany the choice,
not only of what her reply shall be,
but of what is to follow. The
presidents eloquent appeal to her
great traditions, to her sense of honor
and Of justice must triumph over any
Warlike inclination she may feel to
1rsue course that can have but one
ending
New York Tribune: He (the presi-
dent) has drawn an indictment against
the German nation which will lie for
all ages to come If the kaiser's govern
ment fails now to meet the demands Of
tho president Of the United States
promptly and completely. ="
Wronged, we have offered Germany a
peaceful solution in the present crisis,
but land the presidents sums it all up
we shall omit neither word nor act
necessary to the good cause.
New York Sun: The note
is impeccably urbane, though not
without little ironies, in its tone,
friendly in spirit, resolute in its asser-
ton Of American rights and of the
freedom of the seas. 1t recalls Ger
many's contention for that liberty.
- The president has spoken firm
". The country, supporting him as
firmly, awaits without passion the
German reply.
New York Press: Into the end Of
the note to Eerlin, President Wilson
/ has put some teeth and not too many
9Rt that-into the end, because the first
1pf. it is filled with those graceful
ShApty rhetorical phrases which long
Ago exhausted the patience of Ameri-
cans, no less than they excited the
derision of the Berlin militarists.
New York American: The presi-
dents letter is undeniably vigorous,
but 1t is possibly dangerous as we'll.
The nation desired that its rightful de-

mands should be laid before the Ger
man government but it did not antici-
pate that the president would go so far
beyond the plainly and soundly right
full scope of those demands as to invite
rebuff.
Springfield, (Mass.) Republican:
The governments position In this
case is the country's position. It u
not extreme, yet it covers the ground.
Buffalo, IN. ~ Courier: Right
minded men of every party will ap-
prove it's tone and tenor. The clear
ness, the definiteness with which this
presentation is made can satisfy the
most rigid Americanism that views
large affairs sanely. 1t seems to meet
every requirement of performance Of
ou7. sacred duty.
New York Herald: 1t might have
been stronger; 1t might have been
weaker; 1t will serve. Mr. Wilson
mas overcome the influence Of those
members of his cabinet who are for
peace at any price. He has lived up
to the very best traditions of his char
acter.
New York World: 1t is calm, it is
restrained. 1t is courteous, but with
cold, cutting courtesy that gives
added emphasis to every word.
BY the strength of his case and the
moderation of his tone, the president
has made it as easy for Germany to
do right as to do wrong. II he is to
fail in his effort it will be In good
conscience and in good cause.
Columbus (Ohio) State Journal:
How Germany will promise to protect
the lives and property of our people in
the future, or in what manner this
country will receive her refusal to, re-
mains to be seen. 1t is a grave alter
native; and while 1t is not likely to
result in war, it will bring about an
enmity toward Germany that will be
full Of anxiety
New Yorker Stats Zeitung: While
the Stats zeitung makes no editorial
comment on President Wilson's note
today, it has the following to say,
printed in English:
Nor is this time to burden mil
lions of the American people with I'M
lust and unnecessary anguish Of mind.
