OPINION IN GERMANY

New York Sun: It is no more than fair to keep in mind the circumstance that in order to be effective this deliberate move of the imperial government for the preservation of friendly relations must take account of divided opinion in Ger many The note had to be written not only as a reply to a specific demand of the American government but also with view to the satisfaction of national pride and very exact natural sentiment at home. The tone is manifestly intended Tor Berlin; the substance for Washing ton. The administration may well con centrate it's attention upon the essential Tact, and that fact is that an immeas- urable and apparently imminent calamity mas by Germanys act been averted with out the obiteration of single bright band in the spectrum of this republics honor
 Louisville Courier-Journal It (the Ger man response) would be satisfactory to Americans but for two considera tions. One is that Germany is a bankrupt in good faith the other is that even if she means this time to keep her word and observe the law. her admission that she will hold herself at liberty to go back to law-breaking unless we succeed in our efforts to make Great Britain ob- serve the law The latter considerat ton. of course, will have no weight at Wash inston.

 Baltimore Sun: The note leaves this country in more or less suspense. But it does apparently avert immediate trouble, for this we may all be thankful.
 Cincinnati Times-Star: The German re- ply probably means that we are in no immediate danger of war with Germany over the submarine question. If German submarine commanders hold to the rule laid down by Berlin-war should be avoided

PUSH GREAT BRITAIN

Minneapolis Journal: While the United States cannot admit Germanys right, un- der any circumstances, to violate inter- national law in the case of the new weap- on of undersea warfare, it should now proceed with all dispatch to push the ne- gotiations with Great Britain initiated more than a year ago. Our hand is now free and our duty is clear.
 St. Paul Dispatch: Germanys new sea order is real concession. Standing alone and without the unconcealed string at the end of the note, it might open the way to complete understanding and the renewal of old-time cordiality. As it is, the situation is left clouded and doubtful.
