GERMAN p BITTER.
Calls value of Diplomatic Rela-
lions with u. =. imaginary

BERLIN. via London. June 4.-The
Dreus ZeitunO, discussing a report hat
the forthcoming American note fore
shadows a severance of diplomatic re-
lations between the United States and
Germany. says:
W want 10 remind America once
more that Great Britain bears the re-
sponsibility for the submarine war.
Germany would have stopped II had
Great Britain been willing TO Civ up
her war of starvation. 1t one time
America could have exerted pressure
on Great Britain 10 this end. but 1t did
not do so.
Now that the war OF starvation has
failed America comes forward with the
unusual proposal hat VIC shal stop the
submarine war. Naturally there can be
no talk of this. Foreign Secretary Won
Jagow has pointed out what can be
done for the safety of American pas
sengers and American ships. Americans
again ave been shown the way to recon-
Citation and the protection OF their
real interests.
But 1t appears. II one may trust the
reports abou, the new note. that they do
not wish to find this way. but rather
do they desire TO lend their moral sup
port to Great Britain, In whose inter
ests they long ago gave up real neu-
trality. Let them do 1t. The value OF
diplomatic relations with the United
States has TO US become rather imagi-
nary
The Fossische ZeitnnD. says: at
seems on the whole that the tone of
this note will be more serious and en-
phatic than that of the first note. II
would nevertheless be premature now
TO draw any further deductions as 10
a possible rupture of diplomatic rela-
ions between the United States and
Germany"
