raiders interned at the Philadelphia Navy
Yard. Even the captains OF the two ves-
sells will not be permitted to go ashore
In the future.
An ofosr of the Eitel Friedrich, who
would not give his name, described the
present relations between Germany and the
United States as ''the beginning Of the end"

This latest note Ia strange one and so
strangely incoherent that the German
Foreign Secretary appears to have found
he had n difficult task to find presentable
reasons for the course he had to announce.
Several of the assertions are marked by
a cynicism that renders them unworthy Of
serious discussion. But let us wait for
the demonstration Of Germany's full in
tention and hope that it may fall short of

Germany's answer to President Wilson's
address to the Senate is in effect. a declara-
tion of war against the United States. Ger

Germany to President Wilson's note of

There can be only one answer on the
part Of the United States 20 the new Ger

Ambassador must receive his passports
forthwith and diplomatic relations must

crastination until the hand of the limited
