New York ,Times-It Is the great dip
lomxtic achievement OF the note that II

dent) has drawn an Indictment against
the German nation which will lie fol-
all ages to como II the kaiser's govern
ment fails to meet the demands
promptly and completely.

governments position in the case Is the
country's position.

How Germany will promise to protect
the lives and property OF our people
in the future or how this country will
receive her refusal to do 20. remains
TO be seen. It il a grave alternative;
and while It Is not likely to result in
war It will bring about an -enmity to-
ward Germany that will be full Of
anxiety.

louisville Ry.) Courier-Journal-
The note meets the requirements and
is, such as the government Of the
United States should address to Berlin
Louisville (Ky.) Anzeiger-We agree
with. the president that the German
government must explain the loss Of
lives of American passengers, but we
do not think the death of Americans
gives the president tho right to demand
the cessation Of Germany's undersea
warfeYe against British commerce, &c
long Al England does not abrograte
Its 'ataryation warta-e.
Chicago Trtbune-Whatever the fate
Of. ouf relations with Germany the

trails on the high seas.

bility Of mistaking the position Of oul
