NEW NOTE TO GERMANY
 FINAL WORD OF U. 5. Our Government Awaits Further Developments in
 Submarine Warfare.

Washington, July 24.-With the publication today of the note warning Germany that any repetition of. acts by her. submarine commanders in violation of American rights would be regarded as deliberately unfriendly, the United States government awaited further developments.
 The note does not necessarily call for d reply. It leaves the way open, however, for an answer from Germany disavowing the sinking of the Lusi- stania and offering reparation, submit ting, assurances as to the future actionst of her naval officers and even, asking directly for mediation by the United States between the German and the British governments on the general subject of warfare on the sea.
 The use in the note of the phrase s"deHberately unfriendly" is viewed here as expressing the final word of the United States government regard ing Germany's submarine warfare. The United States does not abate in any respect, but rather more strongly insists upon the demands made in pre- ElOt4S ffOtcS, tfidt HSt HAa4iS q e<>A A4tF9~< in its views that the rules of ii1tsrf1a. tionai law and humanity be obeyed in her aval warfaresf
 The note also invites the practical cooperation of the German govern ment in an effort to bring about the free dom of the seas. declares that the American government cannot discuss actions of Great Britain and that it regards as irrelevant in the present negotiations the conduct of oaher bel- liEerents, points out that recent events have clearly indicated that it is possible and practicable" to con- duct submarine perations in substan- tial accord with the accepted prac- tices of regulated warfare and reieots Germany's proposal that certain ves- sells be designated and agreed upon whicl4 shall be free on the seas now il- legally prescribed.
 The note is now in the .--.as of the German government and no reply ts expected for several weeks. Presi- dent Wilson and Secretary. Lansing had left Washington today.

A Tale Of Two Years.

1t anyone wants measure of the
value of the Wilson sdministra-
ton to the country, let him glance at
the record of two years.
In 1907. the world was at peace. Fac.
tories were busy. Crops were good.
There was no threat of trouble abroad.
At home, the Republican party. self
appointed vjzier of prosperity" was
in undisturbed control of the govern
ment, and Theodore Roosevelt held
forth daily on the whole duty of man,
with the white house or the presidents
train as his rostrum.
Yet out Of that clear sky came panic
that forced every bank in the United
States to suspend specie payment and
rely on ''cashiers' checks" The card
house of prosperity tumbled to the
ground. Factories closed. the stream of
traffic dried to thin trickle, disaster
ov ertook the whole nation. and the ef-
fects of that disaster we're still plainly
. visible when President Wilson took the
chair in 1918
Turn now to 1914. In early August
of that year began the greatest and
most destructive war the world has
ever known. Men by millions dropped
the tools of industry and sprang to
arms. Bttales involving armies larger
than the hosts of Xerxes grappled on
two frontiers, swaying back and forth,
trampling civiliz aticn into the mire be-
tween them. The purchasing power of
this nations best customers was cut in
two, and some of these customers per-
force ceased buying altogether.
Yet there was no panic. Business
halted, as ship might halt if she ran
against continent; but the ship did
not sink, nor even take in water.
There was tremendous disruption of
commerce and finance, but no collapse
like that which came seven years be.
fore. The army of unemployed was no
larger in 1914 than in 1907; and while
the earlier depression lasted for years
the latter one is already passing away,
and prosperity is returning with steady
pace.
For this amazing difference, for this
newfound ability to withstand world
upheaval without financial shipwreck.
the American people can thank Wood:
row Wilson and the federal reserve
act. which the democratic party, I'M
der bis leadership, placed on the. stat.
ute books of the nation.-Chicsgo
