tpected under conditions now existing
in the world. But that they can be
handled satisfactorily by diplomatic
means has always been our belief,
and the fact that the Kaiser and
representative Germans manifest a
placable spirit is veriication OF
that belief. The Lusitania, Arabic
and Hesperian cases have naturally
disturbed the waters, but we be-
iieve they will finally subside if left
in proper hands. The Baltimore
american of today says:
While incidents of aggravation are
not yet eliminated from the relations
existing between Germany and the
United States and probably will not
be as long as the war continues,
there has been developed a clearly
defined policy of Cancellation. Albeit
this is not evidenced in liberal
spirit and is manifested only in ways
that do not involve the sacrifice Of
the German position in more specific
manner than the Berlin government
can avoid. So that while the Arabic
contention is going through the sweat
box, with the Lusitania incident in
the cooling chamber ana various
other matters at issue in different
stages of being composed, there is a
deep underlying current Of expedient
goodwill that is steadily flowing on
The tone of German comment abroad
has greatly changed. No less has
been altered the Incorporate tone of
German opinion in this country. The
subjects of the Kaiser in the United
States are now preaching peace and
seeking to prevent the issue at large
from being aggravated.
Now that the surge of passion mas
had time to recede and the German
authorities have awakened both

Unied States for the protection of
it's rights in the field of neutral ac

taking the long look ahead. it is not
enough to explain the moderation of

this country may render in the Sc
curing of peace. The long lock ahead
goes much further. Germany fully
realizes that at best the war will end
in a stalemate. In such case it cam
lot count upon securing the new
fields for commercial exploitation that
it seeks. Even in the case of outright
victory over its foes it would not
dare to seek to take away Morocco
or Egypt or India, as thereby it would
be sowing crop of dragons teeth
for it's future bitter reaping. 1t will
even in the event Of success seek to
secure terms of peaceful living with
it's neighbors. Under the conditions
Of either total success or failure of
either side to secure victory, Ger
many will need to have the good will
of this country. For only in tine region
of South America can it discover
the newer fields for commercial adj
vance that are absolutely essential
