F rench Expect Wilson
Will Stand by Demands


PARIS, April 24.-The American sit
uation absorbs the press to the exclu-
sion of other topics and Secretary Lam
sings note either textually or in copious
extracts appear in the most prominent
place. All the morning papers in their
comments on the note generally express
the belief that Germany will try again
to play for time, but that President
Wilson. being proverbially man slow
in anger. will not budgeean inch from
the position he has taken.
THE German government has circu-
lated among neutral nations "a semi-of-.
fetal note which commits 1t to moth
ing" says the Matin. I'VE learn that
the Berlin press insists on the serious
ness of the situation and that II is
hoped solution will be reached compat-
ible with national dignity with the
rights of neutrals, and the principles of
international law and not unfavorable
to the vital interests Of Germany"
THAT is the whole program and we
are curious to see the literary produc-
ton which will answer to such varied
requirements"
A Fitzmaurice, the foreign editor of
the Figaro, writes:
''It only remains for Germany, II she
desires to avoid a rupture, to give In
and humiliate herself She cannot do
this even did she wish without danger
of definitely running what little pres
tige she still possesses in neutral coun-
tries and without publicly admitting she
is afraid of the United States. This
would be worse than humiliation. It
would be defeat for which Germans
would demand a strict accountability
from Won Bethman-Hollweg and the
kaiser himself. rupture is inevita-
