neutrality of the United States based on
the news of the death OF the Alnerl-
can aviator Kitten Rockwell and the pre-
sence of other American aviNtols on the
western front. They connect tins eVt-
dence of American sympathy for the A.
lies and the supplying Of war materials
by firms in the United States as an lndlc1-
ton of the fuIlity OF concessions to tho
American standpoint with regard to suDma-
rines, They declare that these facts show
how American respect tor neutrality IS van
ishing and how America is mlsuslng the
present form of submarine warfare to cover
the participation of American citizens in tie
war on the side of The Entente Allies. The

Tendon, Sept. 30th.-All the morning
newspapers devote q MAYOR patt OF thrlt
elitoliul space TO a discussion Of the speech
If he Imperial Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollwe9 in the Reichstag contrasting its
mild toue with former utterauces. The ellto
rails all assert that aside from tbo attacks on
England the Chunceilor said little hat was
new and perhap5 disappointed those who
expected peace overtutes. Il Is perfectly
clear says the DAILY News" that Dr.. Won
Bethmann Hollwe9' speech was directed far
more by the exigencies of the political situa-
ton in Germany than by anything that IS
hpppeniug outside. This is what the Chan
callor is concerned about though the speech
is primarily to reestablish his own shaken
authority and secondarily to raise the spirit
of the nation to meet the storm breaking over
it. The 'Graphic" says the dominating note
was the old story Of hatred for Great Britain
and continues. This is the ouly posslble com
fort for the disiIIusioned German people, For
ourselves we only have to note with interest
the declaration that Germany Is ready for
Pence. We are not.
