BERLIN PRESS |
ON j. S. NOTE
Surprised That Wilson Fails
to See Matters Through
Their Lenses
SOME INDIGNATION.
Will NOT, 1t is Believed, Sanction
Abridgement of Submarine War,
But Want American Friendship.

Berlin, July 26--The German people
are practically unanimous III their ap-
proval of the editorial utterances OF
the press in considering the latest
American note. This is learned
through extensive conversations with
representative men in ali walks OF
life since the text of the note was
published here yesterday.
Feeling among the Germans is one
of surprise--surprise that America
has failed to grasp the German view
point, and surprise at the phraslng
of the American note. This feeling IS
felt in some quarters over the staIe-
ment that any further submarine at
tacks, resulting in the loss of Ameri-
can lives, will be considered deli
berately unfriendly."
The German people will not sane
ton any abridgement Of the subma"
rine policy, however much they de-
sire the friendship of America. In
official circles the possibility that
aboard British war-mu-
nition carriers may again be !mper'l-
ed by submarine attacks is recogniz-
ed, but is not commented upon.
Despite the air of finality about
the latest communication from Wash
ington, political circles here believe
that the negotiations are not an END.
Sentiment generally favors reply
to America, very friendly phrased'
but reasserting the German viewpoint

HOLLAND ANXIOUS.
Little Nation Suspects kaiser's Eyes
Are Upon it.

The growing feeling of uneasiness
in Holland, where it is feared and
not without reason, that Germany
will attack Holland as she did Bel
gium as soon. as she can spare suf.
fcient force to do so, is not prevent
ing the Dutch: press from expressing
it's opinion with the utmost frank
ness even though it be exceedingly
disagreeable to; Germany.
,.Thus;the Amsterdam paper, Tele.
graaf, writes:
Germany has long been feeling
very bitter against the United States
because that country supplies Ger.
many's enemies with foodstuffs and
munitions. Is this really crime
If so, Germany, was at least as big a
criminal during the Russo-Japanesc
war, not to mention other wars. as
the nation with which she finds fault
now.

UNITED STATES NOTE
Indications That Germany Will En-
ercise Caution in Her Submarine
War.

The German press comments are
unanimous in declining the demands
President Wilson makes in answer to
the German proposals.
Germany it is said will return Il
very speedy answer to the American
note. All the semi-ollicial comment
states that ii is incorrect. 1t is said in
Paris and London that the note has
the character Of an ultimatum and
will prevent the continuance Of dip-
lomatic negotiations.
The Loekal Anzeiger hopes that the
result of the negotiations will be that
Germany in, the future will be able
to employ her valuable weapon. the
submarine. without too much harm To
neutral powers.
Count Reventlow, in the Deutche
Tages-Zeitung, argues that the Unit
ed States has absolutely refused Ger
many's proposals. ''It is a fact ne
says, that England has influenced
the note, and for Germany to accept
it's standpoint would mean to give up
the submarine war"
Reventlow describes the American
standpoint as unfriendly toward Ger
many, unnecessary for the malnten-
ance of American interests and un-
neutral.
