GERMANY TO MEDIATE

BERLIN, June 25.-- preliminary
draft of Germany's reply to Americas
note, it is authoratively reported, con-
tains the following:
Germany does not desire to jeopar-
disc her interests with the neutrals.' .
1t accepts Wilson's suggestion to
mediate the ocean warfare between
Germany and Great Britain. 1t also
admits that Germany was probably
misinformed when it contended that
the Lusitania was armed and is will
ling to negotiate along humanity
lines, but without giving up entirely
submarining, which Germany regards
as its nose effective weapon.
In any compromise that Germany
may make regarding summarizing, she
must first secure guarantees that
her submarines will not be attacked
unwarrantedly.
They will cite cases of disguised
ships rammed them.
The note will express an apprecia-
tion of the friendship of America.

NOISE is NOT PATRIOTISM.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
There can be successful celebra-
ton of the Fourth of July without
burning lot of gunpowder and MAIN
ing lot of children.
1t seems to be the purpose of the
committee in charge of the prepara-
tions this year to provide for dis
play of patriotic sentiment instead of
n display of fireworks. Public senti-
ment is certainly behind the COM
mittee. Music and parades, games
and speeches lend themselves admir-
ably to the needs of the occasion. A
safe and sane Fourth is as desirable
as safe and sane foreign policy.
