Following is comment from some of the
leading newspapers on the German reply
to the United States note:
(New York Worldly
1t was hardly to be expected, We sup
pose, that a nation which blew interna-
tional law to atoms when it assassinated
the Lusitania would fail on occasion to
make some plea of self-defence, even
though weak one. Presenting no new
argument or excuse except that it was
surprised. perhaps appalled,, at the sud-
denness with which that great ship went
to the bottom, the German note now in
hand is little more than a repetition Of
the plea, already familiar to US, that be-
cause Great Britain has violated interna-
toinal law in its assaults upon property
at sea Germany is justified in the perpe-
tration Of every crime known to civili-
zation.
To the extent that the note gives assur-
ance that American ships will not be
hindered in the prosecution of legitimate
shipping and the lives Of American citi-
zens in neutral vessels shall not be placed
in jeopardy" there is distinct advance
over anything that has emanated hereto
fore from the German foreign office. The

Considerable anxiety prevails that this

lack of ocean tonnage. Since the ad-

ocean liners on the Canadian-Liverpool

So far as the principles at stake
are concerned the German note
amounts TO a sheer defiance of Amer
lean public opinion. It complies with
no item of President Wilson's de-
hlands. II virtually argues that Amer
lean rights upon the seas are strictly
limited and circumscribed by the will
and pleasure of the German govern
nlent. II the theoretical attitude as
stunned on these matters were alone to
be considered the note would give
ground for the most serious disauiet
as TO the future relations of the two
countries. But the broad offensiveness
of the general declarations is quite
materially Offset by the very evident
desire which pervaGes the document
to avert anything like a crisis between

The United States has asked for disa-
voval Of intent to kill Americans and
for reparation, although the latter has
been subordinated to the greater consid-
Grafton of whether Germany legally justi-
fed the action of the submarine COM
mander or would admit liability. No
direct answer on the questions of law in

quick sinking of the vessel was attributed

presence of high explosives. High Off
Gals regard this as an evasion. pointing
out that even If there were explosives

never would have been ignited by the

Opinion in German quarters here is

Count Won Bernstorff. the German am

reply and thinks it offers basis for

One cool assumption runs through
the German note. 1t is that Germany
is in a position graciously to permit
Americans to do certain things on
the high seas and to forbid them to
do others. This is open to the sharp
est challenge. Our government stands
for certain principles of law and ma
tional right and universal humanity.
which it cannot consent to allow an
other government to treat like nose
of wax. And apart from the question
of law, there is the question OF fact.
To read the German reply one would
think that there was a complete and
effective German blockade of Eng
land: that submarines could stop or
sink at pleasure every ship coming or
going. But this is a huge pretence.
The German submarines in British
waters are only furtiye raiders.

that American citizens can protect an
enemy ship through the mere fact OF
their presence on board is offensive. and
by implication is falsehood.
Whatever may he thought or said OF
this note, il is always to be remember
ed that actions speak louder than
words. For the present we should say
that Germany is 10 be judged more by
it's deeds than by its diplomacy. 1t has
not been sinking any American ships
of late. 1t has not been sinking without
warning any enemy ships having
Americans on board. While these con-
ditions obtain, notes like that now un-
der discussion may irritate or exasper-
ate. but they need not necessarily lead
TO a rupture.

What Germany contends is that the
people Of the United States must keep
out of regions where they have definite
rights to travel at will and without mo-
lestation. Germany must know that the
plan it proposes cannot be accepted and
that the denial it makes Of the rights of
neutrais to traverse the oceans in safety
cannot be conceded. 1t is difficult to be-
lieve that the suggestions it makes are
even put forward in good faith. They
do not in point of fact deserve an argu-
mentative reply.
