peremptory challenge and rejection.
To avoid any possible misunderstand-

morals.
Imperative But Not offensive.
1T is a tremendously imperative

Germany at her word. She told us OF
her purpose henceforth to confine the
operations of war to the fighting
forces of the belligerents.' She told
us of the new orders to her naval com

Germany Knows Penalty:
ITO have foreshadowed our course
OF action should German submarines
now disobey their orders and give US
fresh provocation, would have been
superfluous. Germany and all the
world know what will happen. The
policy which has SO seriously menaced
the good relations between the two
countries has been abandoned. We
hope there will be no return to it. for
nothing but motives of friendship, as
the note says. has guided us and re-
strained us in our patient efforts to
avoid break. We hope in all sin
certify that no new act of lawlessness
will come to force us to a decision we
have so long put off.
American People Uphold Him.
In the position taken by this note
the president has the support of the
united American people. When the
German note to which this makes re,
ply was read here some Americans felt
that it justified the ending at once OF
diplomatic relations. All Americans
found 1t unsatisfactory, but the, pre-
vaIling opinion counseled acceptance
of the new order to submarine COM
manders, the rejection of all condi
tions. Choosing that course of action
President Wilson again shows pa
thence, he gives proof of our desire to
continue relations of friendship with
Germany. 1t was better so If there
was any doubt about the unanimity Of
the country's feeling. There can ht
none, there will be none now, for the
most persistent leader for long suffer
ing and the proffer of the other cheek
knows that all eXhortations to meek
ness have ben nonored by us even be

President Wilson has the support Of

New York Times of May 9, in a ring
ing editorial entitled, There Spoke
America" 1t is tremendously inn

hear their own voice and read their
own thought in the note that went
from Washington to Berlin yesterday
1t commands admiration as the Just
