BERLIN, May 13 (Via London)- Two writers of absolutely dissimilar temperaments and political schools, Prof, Hans Delbrueck of the Univer- sity of Berlin and MaXimilian Harden, editor of Die Zukunft. commenting on the interchange of notes between Ger many and the United States, express the highest satisfaction that the diff ficulties are apparently settled. Both voice the sharpest criticism of the tone of the notes, particularly the concluding ones.
 Professor Delbrueck appeals to Germans not to take President Will sons phrases too seriously. He says:
 Remember the provocation. Re- member too that the note is dictated by the need of scoring a success at this particular juncture and that scoldng is not incompatible with President Wilson's intent to enforce the fulfillmeni of the declaration of July 24 that the American govern ment will continue to fight for the freedom of the seas. whichever side is endangered, without compromise and watever price"

 Germany has taken the first step from rnilitarism into statesmanship by its decision in the American problem and now should go forward on this path, which is the only one leading to a lasting peace"
 The Tages Zeitung and the Kreuse Zeitung express bitter indignation over Secretary Lansing's declaration regarding a reckoning with Great Britain. Most of the other papers are content to dismiss the subject.
