raticncc With Germany

HIS country does not want war with Ger
many, Ii there ways by which the
wrongs that have been inflicted our peo-
pie may he palliated-thcy can never be com
pensate d--and due guarantees given that such
outragcs will not be repeated the country
hopes these ways will be found
That is why there has been relatively little
impatence over the German delay in answer
ing President Wilson's last note. II is de-
srable that the new sentiment in favor OF
peaceful adjustment that has found many
supporters in Berlin. should have time TO
spread. II is desirable that Germany should
learn, from the mouths and pens of her own
leaders of thought and action. that she has
no just ground OF complaint against the
United States
But the President cannot abandon his orig
inai attitude. In essentials. il was that no
American merchantmen should be sent to
the bottom save after the right OF visit and
search had been utilized, that the same rule
should be made to apply 10 belligerent mer-
chantmen carrying American citizens as pas
scngers, and that in every case every Ameri-
can noncombatant aboard vessels of either
class. not seeking TO escape detention, be
permitted TO escape with his life
The recent incident of the Armenian shows
beyond question that submarines can halt a
ship at sea when they desire to do so The
Armenian sought to escape and the sub
marine overhauled and sank her. The Anglo
Californian escaped Il similar attack but only
after her skipper and various members OF her
crew had been killed. In both attacks Ameri-
can citizens lost their lives. but American
sentiment agreed almost universally that the
submarine commanders were wholly within
their rights.
Germany must play the game-so far as ii
affects America and observation-disclosures 10
the rules That is what the President has
landed and neither he nor this people
! will be content with anything less.
