London, July II, II A. M.-The Ma
chester Guardian concludes an editori-
al article on the German reply to the
American note as follows:
Since Germany canont obey the
laws of humanity while she uses sub
marines to do cruisers work, she con-
tends with characteristic logic that it
is right for her to break them. 1t is
the kind of logic which America has
given ample proof that she will not
tolerate: and coupled as it now is with
an attempt to make the United States
participate in German methods by
communicating to Berlin the names
and sailing times Of ships that may
so safe, and thereby implicitly con-
signing others to their fate, it will
probably convince President Wilson
of the folly of continuing diplomatic
relations with a government so shame
