| man note confirms our assumption
that the imperial government is pre-
pared to go a very long way toward
meeting us. The two nations bound
by arnity and kinship. by trade and
intercourse. can surely be prevented
from plungng into quarrel whose

we assume that in Washington no less
than in Berlin the will to arrive at an
amicablc Arrangement exists

Gus effort to have international petty
larceny put on the same plane as in
ternational murder.
KNOXVILLE crenn.) SENTINEL.
Standing by itself the order to the
German naval forces would seem to
comply with the demands, but it is
preceded and followed by conditions
that suggest continuance of the
trifling methods hitherto pursued by
the Berlin government.
COLUMBIA (S. c. RECORD-The
note is impudent in its arrogance. and
Is not even subtle in its bold assump-
tion OF defiance of the international
laws.
Ell PASO HERALD-In view of
the attitude of President Wilson il is
useless for Germany to condition her
new ruling upon our compelling Eng
land to observe the law. therefore a
break seems intvitable.

Germany has made concessions as de-
manded by our government. Whether
these concessions are sufficient.
