LONDON. Dec. 6.-After a brief respite
the German press Is renewing violent at
lacks upon President Wilson. In which
the conservative journals are joining
with the more radical.
The Rheinisch Westtolsch Zeif"n0'
which recently printed semioficial peace
views. says In an editorial:
az the arming OF merchant ships, Tor
which they are crying In England, really
in intended only az a means for their
defense, the dastardly attempt made IN
American waters by a British motor
boa, to destroy the Deutschland shows

ers have been chasing Is more mar ever

what do Americans say to this fresh
attempt by the Britons to sink without
warning under their very eyes this Ger
mar ship of commerce? Is America de-
,eririned to add one more to her already
long impertinences by allowing 6erman
sea men I'm her waters to be treated ms
outlaws" This We shall never allow. on
the contrary. VI shall employ every
means at our disposal to prevent IT,"
The National Liberdic kOrrespondinS
comments as follows.
London II beginning more and more
to groan under the U-boat terror and
all II means. Therefore they once more
have need over yonder of Wilson, as
one can tell from the tenor OF Sir Ed
ward Grey's recent note to the United
States. President Wilson is TO help Eng
land out OF the mire. Whether his hell
takes the form Of peace mediation OF
more U-boat protests evidently is as i'm
material" TO Grey as 1t Is to the United
states.
