Che has violated international law, but the United States
has shown no disposition whatever to enforce demands

IN obe the law Germany will consider herself released
from all restrictions accepted at the instance of the
United States or set forth in international law as it
existed before this war began.
The paiu truth is, that Britain has been VIOLATING
international law at will from the very beginning Of
the war Britain has not only violated the law of ma
tons but she has brazenly declared in her manifestos
and in her notes to government, that she finds it
convenient to make international law from time TO
time TO fit her necessities and virtually CHALLENGES the
United States and the of the world to let Britain 90

Germany will forthwith repudiate all restrictions she has

Germany, in her criticisms of the attitude of the
Washington government, comes too near TO truth in
many of her structures be entirely comfortable for
conscientious neutral Germany uses very strong and
definite language leaving little room for doubt TO
what she means Frankly she deems the United States
potentially an ally Of Germany's enemies, and while
not disposed to question the literal observance by the
United States of the legal status OF neutral, she
seriously questions the spirit Of our observance ques

more drastic policy been adopted all along toward
Germany than toward England, and blames the United
States for the unhndeTed extension OF Brltains
so as TO place noncombatants and the rights Of neuras

about these phases of the conduct of the war; though
there is nothing sdduced to palate In the slightest
degree the gross violations by Germany of elemental
rules of humanity.
On its face the order by the German government

The Herad's general impression rom me --otS aS d
whole is that the German government WIN u'iCu',y
restraints itself from exceedingly scathng denuncaon
of the whole course of the American government tna
the German government, largely 10 saISIy CldhOIouS
public sentiment in Germany, employs very vigorous
language rather beyond the usual Dounus oI ulpOalC
usage but in no way offensive than the language
enloved in nresdent Wilson'S note to Germany; that
the German Government reluctantly concludes that the
limited States s hostile TO it. and that continuance
of friendly relations is impOssble that last request
is due bv Germany to the United States to hold Britain
to her obligations that Germany really desires to avoid
breach in diplomatic relations and contemplates with
horror but without fear the prospect OF war between
the two great nations; that Germany will not long
continue to comply even with the suOlaIlne Iues sne
accepts for herself Americas instance unless Britain
shall be brought strictly to book; and finally that
Germany regards herself having now done her full
duty and as having done all she can reasonably be
asked to do to avoid war with the United States, but
that she has made I'D her mind to accept whatever
comes.
The German note neither requires nor admits Of any
written reply In that it, too is an utimatum.
The United States can only "wait and see" what form
the German submarine policy will now take, and how
consistently Germany will observe her own rules. If
a break does not come now, it will certainly come
upon the occasion Of the very next breach by Germany
of international president Wilson interprets it.
such breach involve the personal safety of Americans
Meanwhile, the phrase freedom of the seas" is
hollow mOckery, for the that Great Britain
has the strongest in the world and that neither
the United States nor any other power is in position
to challenge England's the sea, no matter
how often or how grossly she violates the laws of
nations England makes and breaks international law

of appeals.
