Boston. May 80 protest against

In this way, he says, mis- children will
only have to establish their relation

Mr.. Raw attacks bitterly the OBJ

how, finally, they battled their way

threat may be ignored, or it may be
answered with a warning, but nothing
will be done that might be interpreted
as a capitulation to it.
The note recently received from
Great Britain on the general subject
of interference with trade has not yet
been studied carefully, owing TO the
acuteness of the issue with Germany.

The United States will continue TO

France Calls Germany'S
Answer InSOlence

Paris. MAY 6.-France's opinion on
the German reply is that far from be-
ING an expected Wilson victory, IT IS a
good sample for American considera-
ton of the kind OF insolence which
made Germany unbearable az neigh
Dor. The French press calls it abso-
lutely unsatisfactory as response TO
the American demands, and headlines
read "Bluf," Arrogance" and "Du-
plicity."
An official to-day. asserting his CON
fidence that the Americans could not
stomach such treatment and would
break with the Central Powers within
a week, backed his statement with
bet Of 500 francs.
The "lntransigeant" says: "To-mor-
row it will be a year since American
deaths on the Lusitania cried for ven
geance. Doesn't yet this great people,
which occupies in the world place
iustlv accorded to its spirit Of enter
prise and industrial power, find that 1t
has been sufficiently rallied att The
real debate is between Washington and
Berlin. but the note feigas Ignorance
of Washington's existence and dis
cusses only Berlin and London. Could
hooking insolence be more patent!
"If Roosevelt were in power the only
response made by the United States
would be Gerard's recall. We can't
blame President Wilson for acting &C
cording TO his nature. He would like
American opinion to force his hand.
He feels his country is drawn toward
war. but he would like the RESPONSE
bility to fall on public opinion, not on
the country's leaders. This makes VA
foresee a new exchange of notes, but
one cannot escape the truth.
Germany never renowned the sub
marine sincerely. The United States
knows it, and knows what remains for
it TO do"
The "Temps" says: THE Teutons
abuse American patience. IL IS not
clear in what way the present offers
differ from offers made in January by
Bernstorf TO Lansing, and according to
which the Germans would no longer
torpedo merchant vessels without warn
inc or before securing the safety of
the passengers. Will it have more
success because il includes menaces and
speculates on the United States repug-
nance TO war? The only price Tor
which Germany will renounce wholesale
assassination on the high seas IS re-
nunciation by the Allies Of the advan-
tage of being mistress OF the seas.
ON the name of neutrals incontest-
ibly. Wilson demanded that Germany
abandon her practices under pain Of a
rupture. The Emperor only offers
viii -the-wisp and a lame compro-
mise"
The "Liberte" says: "The only
concession the Germans offer is illu-
sorry and imperative. II hardly seems
possible to US that this can satisfy.
Here lies the joker. Germany puts on
her announcement condition which
il is not in the power Of the United
States to fulfil. Neither the Presi-
dent nor the American people can re-
main insensitive before the iniquitous
defes of the Germans"
