And it should have been cettled that way without barley or faltering as soon as it became clear last August that Ger- many never intended to respond to Mir. Wilson's words with an adequate offer of reparation for the Lusitania massacre.
 New York Staats Zeitung: It is un- thinkable that the German government should recognize these credentials (the Presidents) as the representative of all neutral nations and grant the peremp- tory demands of the President as long as the cause for the inauguration of this submarine warfare-the illegal British blockade and interference with the com mercial rights of neutrals-remains in force and as long as British inhumanity against the civilian noncombatant popu- Iation of Germany is continued The Presidents demand seeks to permanently guard British sea trade and would if complied with, make England proof against injury Can Germany agree to that? The answer remains With the in- dividual. Wilson has given the German government the alternative of complying with demands which seem impossible to comply with, or to expect war with the United States, for the severance of diplo- matic relations under circumstances like the present can only result in war. The President has brought about diplo- matic situation which must involve the | d y, unless Congress mercedes in proper time.
 FAMILIAR INDICTMENT
 New York Sun: We must regard it (the address) as in part repetition of the true and now too familiar indict- ment of a civilized nation for illegal practices and in part a restatement of the Presidents views concerning his re- sponsbility not only for the protection .s<~lt l>,,% 1-<> F<x. l. general interests of humanity.
 New York World: They (the American people) still hope and hope will not cease unless the German government deliber- ately takes the fatal step that ends all possibility of an honorable and amicable adjustment of past wrongs and all possi- bility of future guarantees. It is for the German government to say whether 1t wants the United States for friend or an enemy: it knows the terms.

manner which the government of the United States cannot but regard as wan ton and without the slightest color of justification. No limit of any kind has in fact been set to the indiscriminate pur- suit and destruction of merchantmen of all kinds and nationalities within the waters, constantly extending in area, where these operations have been carried on: and the roll of Americans who have lost their lives on ships thus attacked and destroyed has grown month by month until the ominous toll has mounted into the hundreds.
 zone of the latest and most shocking instances of this method of warfare was that of the destruction of the French cross-channel steamer Sussex. It must stand forth as the sinking of the steamer Lusitania did, as so singularly tragical and unjustifable as to constitute truly terrible example of the inhumanity of submarine warfare as the commanders of German vessels have for the past 12 months been conducting it. If this in- stance stood alone, some explanation, some disavowal by the German govern ment, some evidence of criminal mistake or wilful disobedience on the part of the commander of the vessel that fired the torpedo might be sought or entertained but unhappiy it does not stand alone. Recent events make the conclusion in- evitable that it is only one instance, even though it be one of the most extreme and distressing instances of the spirit and method of warfare which the im- enly adopted and which from the first exposed that government to the reproach of thrusting all neutral rights aside in D1lrc11it of fife i,1orp ediata nbiects

 New York. July 25.-In an effort to bring about greater uniformity in quarantine measures taken by other states against the spread of infantile paralysis from New York city. pr. Charles E. Banks. senior member of the federal staff, sent here 10 cooper ate with the local authorities, went to Hartford, today. for a conference with the health authorities of Connecticut.
 Dr. Banks intends to visit Trenton, N. J., tomorrow. He will try to ar- range a working agreemdnt between state or town authorities and the fed eral authorities so that travellers may be under systematic regulation. At present it Is almost impossible for persons who wish to take children from New York city to ascertain what forms of quarantine they will encoun- ter during the journey or at their des- tination.
 Inquiry at the headquarters of the railroads showed that methods of quarantine in different communities differ widely and that individual cities and towns make frequent changes 1T, their regulations. For this reason 1t was said that the railroads had found
 it a hopeless undertaking, to keep a list of local quarantine rules. They advised that, before leaving New
 York, travellers telegraph ahead for
 definite information at their intended
 destinations.
