merly he saw only German infringe

deeper reasons for Germany's course,
namely. Great Britain's contempt for

now demands is nothing other than the
rights for the recognition of which
German diplomacy and the German
navy worked. If the United States sue

many's submarine policy, would be fl

The newspaper concludes:
However, the note will only achieve
historical importance if there is be-
hind it an earnest determination to
give pressure to the demands"
The newspaper expresses doubt
whether economic interests will suf-
fee to override "America's Anglo
Saxon sympathies.S

GERMAN NEWSPAPER DECLARES
j. S. NOTE MUST NOT Be JUDGED
BY INTENTIONS OF ITS AUTHORS

Berlin. VIA London. Nov. 12.-3.57 A.
M.-The Vossosiche zeitung says that
it regards the American note to Great
Britain as an irrefutable document
from legal standpoint, but that ev-
erything depends on the practical
things the authors intend it to
achieve" for they cannot have been
in doubt that they have placed Great
Britain between two alternatives-of
politely rejecting the American de-
mands or Of surrendering all the ad-
vantages which the navy gives Great
Britain in her war against the Ger
mans"
Capt Won Kuehlwetter, the Lokal
Anzeiger's naval specialist. says If
the note puts an end to British -arbi-
trariness," this result will be valuable
and gratifying and probably also will
have an important bearing upon flu
lure maritime war.
Capt. Won Kuehlwetter thinks it is
necessary to treat the note with the
greatest skepticism, declaring that it
does not touch the chief point which
could heck British arbitrariness,,
namely that 1t does not dispute Great
