WILL CONVINCE GERMANY.

The overwhelming vote by which
the United States senate has agreed
to stand by President Wilson in his
refusal to warn Americans to keep
off of passenger vessels that are
armed merely for defense, ought to
convince the Germans that the peo-
pie of this country, regardless of
parties. are backing up the presi-
dent. This action of the senate comes
after Bryan's secret efforts, through
letters to senators, to have them
adopt the Gore resolution to issue
such warnings.
The vote in the senate was 68 to IA,
twelve of the fourteen votes being de-
l;vered by republicans. Senator Gore
voted against his own substitute on
the ground that he did not like it, and
introduced it merely to get an ex-
preston from the senate. The demo-
Gratis were almost unanimous against
it, while majority of the republicans
also backed up the president. The
vote is taken to mean that the upper
branch of congress is not willing to
sacrifice the honor of this country to
please Germany or any other nation.
The vote in the lower house will
come up next week and it is safe to say
that the attitude of that body will be
about the same as that of tie senate.
The disposition to embarrass the presi-
dent is not very widespread. Even the
republicans are standing steadfast in
the crisis upon the country. 1t is
doubtful if there would be any trouble
at all were it not for the treachery of
former Secretary Bryan and the effort
CT some members from the hyphenated
districts to play the poltroon role in
order to help their political standing
at home.
Evidences are multiplying that the
German government has never under
stood the temper of the American peo-
Fle regarding the Lusitania incident
or its submarine policy generally. The
Germans have not thought that the
people here were backing UP the presi-
dent. The resignation of Secretary
Bryan, the four-times candidate for
president, and the alleged peace propa-
gandas in this country were mistaken
for willingness to tolerate anything
rather than have trouble with Ger
many. The presidents easy way of
handling diplomatic matters was so
different from the German style of
bluff AMI buster that they did not quite
understand what 1t meant.
But the Germans ought to begin to
realize that the people of this coun-
try are not going to be "spat upon"
They adhere to the doctrine of turn
the other cheek" but they practice that
other passage which says what meas
Ure ye mete shall be melted to you
again" They subscribe to everything
the old prophets wrote about peace"
and loving Kindness" but they are
also going to keep a keen edge upon
tie Sword of the Lord and Gideon

the offensive ones from running over
