A STIFF NOTE
TO GERMANY

A straight-out note which is giver
elsewhere IN the Gazette calling TO,
immediate action by the German gov
eminent has been decided upon by
the President and his Cabinet and
this note will brush aside all pre-
tense and sophistry and call for i'm,
mediate and full purging by Ger
many Of itself for the offense of the
Sussex and emphatic and outright
agreement with the American sub
marine demands. The Baltimore Am
erican calls attention to the fact that
this borders upon an ultimatum-
but the border is a wide one! The
conference of the President with the
Senate and House leaders give to the
present note gravity that has beer
impaired to no other. Back of thf
demand for full and explicit denoun
cement by Germany Of its aci
and the punishment of the culprit il
found the notice that another oc-
currence of the kind will lead tt
severance Of relations. But who car
say that the next offense will not vary
in degree or particulars so as to pre-
vent it from being a companion OF
fense to the Sussex act and thus MOI
to be brought under the terms of the
note?
In contrast with the amusing pIea
contained in the German note against
German responsibility for the attack
upon the Sussex is to be placed TIC
two succinct facts cabled from Paris
The first is not new namely, tina
portions of a German torpedo have
been extracted from the hull of the
ship. The second is that the gov.
eminent is in possession of the name
Of the commander of the miscreani
submarine and the number of his
boat.
1t is said this information was de-
rived from the. officers of subma-
H:nc sunk by the ALLIES who were
.apturcd and who gave the name Of
the commander of the submarine
hat attacked the Sussex and the
number of his boat. Thus does tnt
story Of the German minister, thai
vas incredible to the degree of being
fit only to tell to the marines, fall tx
pieces. With all due allowance rol
he Presidents reluctance for direct
action--and no one can blame hin
sor most careful and considerable ac-
ion-it is plain that Germany has
about reached the end of its rope. ii
had better have care hcnceforth.

TWO ACUTE
PROBLEMS.

VIE are confronted at present with
[wo acute international problems, and
The fact that they have come together
lenders each the more serious. One
concerns Germany across the sea; the
bther Mexico, one of our neXt-door
heirhbors. With respect to Germany
I've still hope almost against nope
That we may find way to prevent
|hostilities. She has offended against
IS even more terribly and persistent
" than Mexico, and with less excuse,
E;nca che is q much more enlightened
)country. Her acts of wrongdolng.
moreover, have been the acts OF a
national sovereignty, whereas MeNl-
co's offenses have been for the most
mart those of irresponsible outlaws,
hin TO the time of the Columbus RAD
10 our great credit be 1t spoken. we
treated Mexico with as much conSid'
!eration and patience as II she nae
been as formidable as Germany.
Even since that time we have USED
EVERY possible means to avoid OF
Pending Mexican sentiment and MeNl-
can sensitiveness. But now we arc
face 70 face with the question OF war
or peacc. 1t must be war, If we &c
NOT withdraw; and if it is to be war
what will that mean to us? we arc
almost. though not quite, in the same
position with respect to Germany As
! to both, therefore, it is only matter
of ordinary sanity to ask ourselves
what an uncompromising attitude
will bring on the country.
War would mean bloodshcd, los:
of lives, suffering Of may kinds. Il
would mean in large part cessation
of the movement for domestic reform
and domestic improvement "Wcl
made memorable the first year O
the Wilson administration. 1t woul'
mean a tremendous disturbance o
business conditions. None OF thcs
things should deter us II the highcS
interests of humanity demand ina
we enter into war, but they shoul'
