authoritative text
The Nossische Zeitung SAYS:
Assuming that the Reuter- Agency
this time actually gives President Wi
sons and Secretary Lansing's real feel
lngs' which heretofore has seldom been
the case, our opinion is as follows That
the Government of the United states
should not remain inactive, which Ia also
the feeling of the German Government
only its measures should be prophylac-
tic, to prevent the sacrifice OF mora
American lives. How that Ia possible the
German note has indicated. II would no
strange II the American Government
continued allowing Americans TO run
into danger and not seek to protect them
but to avenge them. The German Gov
ernment's suggestions would certainly in
any event be far more consistent with
the spirit of humanity invoked by the
American Government"
Eugen Zimmerman, OF the r,oko1an-
zeiger who has been consistent cham
pion of cordial relations between Ger
many and America, expressed in con-
Versatons today q widely prevalent
viewpoint as follows:
"The rumors of the nature of the Of
fetal reception of the German note in
America must be considered colored in
form In which they have reached us
President Wilson Is too clearheaded to
believe that complete freedom of travel
on the ocean Is possible. with the Eng
lish blockade and the submarine war in
force. Farfetched illustrations often IL
illuminate a situation most clearly. Sup
pose, for example, 1 were commanding

the English fleet.
"The battle, of course, was going we'll
for us. All of a sudden harmless
steamer entered the battle zone and
signaled, L have got an American
aboard am certainly a polite per-
son, but 1 did not believe 1 would break
off battle which was going favorably
for me and allow the enemy to escape
just to afford the free passage of a
steamer that signaled that she had an
American aboard. An American admiral.
of course, wouldn't do It either In an
analogous case.
"The conciliatory German proposals
offer so many possibilities for an under
standing In the matter of mutual wishes
that 1 still believe in the President"
The Hamburger Fremdenblatt, an in
fluential organ of the German shipping
interests, comments sarcastically In to-
days issue on President Wilson'S pro-
posed note of protest to Great Britain
regarding the interference with Ameri-
can trade. The paper shares the general
satisfaction felt by Germans. that Amer
lea was taking a stand against England,
but says:
President Wilson has finally found
the courage to take the decisive step
which little Sweden manfully and ener-
getically takes against every encroach-
ment on the part of either england or
Russia"

U. S. REPLY CABLED
TO BERLIN LAST NIGHT
Continued from Page One

Continued from Page One
Of American lives aboard the Lusitania
and that the United States consistently
will maintain the rights OF its citizens to
travel anywhere on unresisting ships of
any nationality. the note makes no threat
of punishment to Germany for the delay
of satisfaction.
GERMAN REPLY MAY BE SLOW.
Germany is expected to delay its answer
TO this note for at least 10 days. The
momentous military events about Warsaw
now absorb the attention of the German
Government, and it Is not thought here
that the Berlin Foreign Office will at
tempt a reply until the Kaiser shall have
returned from the battle line to consult
with his Ministers.
The note carries the broad intimation
that the United States thinks 1t useless
to engage in an extended diplomatic
argument, and that there is no necessity
for additional proposals and counter
proposals on the matter. The side issues
raised by Germany in its last reply are
not held to be relevant to the great point
at issue; that is the right of Americans
to use the seas with safety.
This is the final warning to Germany
that an incident of the kind will be re-
garded as an unfriendly act which might
possibly preclpltate preach OF diplomatic
relations
An important subject not touched on
in the note. 1t was learned today, Is a
demand for financial reparation for
American lives lost on the Lusitania. The
question of collection of monetary dam
ages from Germany for the families of
the American victims is left open. There
is no question but that such demands will
be made later The Administration, how
ever, did not desire to inject money mat
ters, at this time, into the more i'm
portant questions in dispute.
oRDUNA NOT MENTIONED
The State Department has not yet
received the Treasury's report on the
alleged attack on the Orduna, so no ref
erence to 1t is made in the note.
Increased hope for successful solution
of the German question was manifest in
official circles today, possibly due to the
temperate tone not only of the American
press. but also the semiofficial Berlin
newspapers.
Despite the OTduna case, which has
been unofhclally disavowed by Germany
and not yet fully established here, some
officials believe German Ambassador
Bernstorff spoke with authority when he
told Secretary Lansing that Germany
would modify her undersea warfare by
orders to her naval officers,
