is politely but firmly iusistent upon
the recognition of the rights previ-
ously declared.
ST. LOUIS WESTLICHE POST:
Even AT the cost of infinitely hurting
its W cause, Germany must conccde
every point if it wants to eyade an
open break with the United States.
To talk of friendship in this last
American note is the climax Of hypoc-
risy, on a par with Washington's al
legged neutrality,
GERMANIA HERALD, MILWAU-
KEE: The latest note bears no more
The nature OF an ultimatum than can
be said of its predecessors. That the
tone is distinctly harshcr cannot be
denied, but we can find consolation in
the possibility that perhaps those
parts in which Mr.. Wilson uses the
most energetic language are intended
moro for "home consumption than
for Germany. All in all, We regard
the situation as earnest hut In no way
critical. Indeed. we see no need to
become excited as to what the next
step of the administration will be.
TACOMA LEDGER; The logic of
Secretary Lansing's note leaves the
government Of Germany not a leg to
stand on.
STANDARD. ANACONDA, MONT:
The logic of the note is manifest but
Germany filings logic to the winds.
As ever since the war began consid-
eratiOns Of policy and eXpediency, not
those Of International law and hui
mainly will govern her conduct.
NEW YORK WORLD: The United
states is no longer concerned with
what Germany says. 1t is concerned
only with what Germany does. The
note is not an ultimatum in form but
1t is an ultimatum in substance. The
issue now rests with Germany; even
the military-mad autocracy of Berlin
a have no excuse for installing the
meaning of these serious and meas
ured words,
NEW YORK GERMAN HAROLD:
We are certain that the complications
will be settled amicably. The president
has yielded to some extend and so will
Germany.
HARTFORD (CONND COURANT:
The latest note Is much more mild
than the first. After reading the clos
ing paragraph we are compelled to
conclude that the closing paragraph
of the first note meant nothing what
ever to those who wrote it. -
BOSTON ADVERTISER: The time
has come to stop these attacks of sub
marines on American property and
lives without warning. We want to
end 1t. We shall end it. And the pres

note declares, i'm courteous, diplomatic
language, but Enthusiastically hat a
repetition of these acts will amount to
a declaration Of war.
BOSTON GLOBE: Taken as a
whole, the note represents mature and
moderate American opinion.
NEW YORK TIME With courage
and with firmness, President Wilson
and Secretary Lansing have responded
to the hopes and the deep conviction
Of the American people. The keeping
of our relations Of amity and peace
with Germany is now committed into
the hands of Germany. 1t is for her
to choose which path she will follow.
our self respect, our honor and our
safety we have reserved to u own
keeping.
NEW YORK HERALD: Probably
no diplomatic note that did not pre-
cede war ever so brutally hammered
in facts. Language could not be
, stronger. 1t is impossible for the Ger
man foreign office longer to misun-
derstand.
THE NEW YORK PRESS: Pres
ident Wilson's note gives warning that
the submarines must keep hands off
American lives and American rights.
We see. however, no war sparks from
the steel of the presidents pen; 1t
rings no warlike note.
NEW YORK STATS ZEITUNG:
OF quite particular significance is the
emphasis on the fact that the United
States and Germany are striving for
the same object as far as the free
dom of the seas is concerned. And
the note makes il clear, in frank, curt
words, that the government of the
United States is ready at any time to
play the part of the mediator with a
.iew to finding a practicable way out
OF the present situation. Emphatic
as Is it's language, so far as the Lusi-
tania incident is concerned, the Aver
lean government now seems to U be
equally as energetic in its intention to
protect the right Of neutrals against
any and every belligerent nation. The
diplomatic note which was sent ia
Berlin is meant at the same time fol
London.
RICHMOND CVA.) TIMES-DIS-
PATCH: Wilson has closed the door
on further discussion. These words
amount to an ultimatum. Germany
must decide whether she will keeI
the peace with the United States.
NEW YORK TRIBUNE: The pres
/. ident's message is an admirable
American document. 1t expresses in
temper and in content the whole mind
Of his fellow citizens. Whatever be
: the consequences Of the note itself, nc
