New York World There can be
only one answer on the part of the
United States to the new German sui,
marine proclamation, and that answer
should be made today. The German
ambassador must receive his passports
forthwith and diplomatic relations
must cease at once We have made
every concession to Germany that
self-respect will permit and all those
concessions have proved to be in vain.
No peace is worth the surrender of Il
nations sovereign rights.
Louisville Comicr-Journal: Surely
the president has been awakened from
his dream of millennium by Germany's
latest note. II is a direct challenge
of war to the United States. That
challenge should he accepted within
twenty -four hours. and the war thus
entered on by America should not end
until the imperial despotsm of Ger.
many which dares plunge the world
into such a war is completely and
eternally crushed.
Worcester (Mass.) Telegram: 1t is
declaration of war against the United
States, sent in the form of an insult
which red blooded Americans cannot
stand for. 1t is the most astonishing
paper ever issued by a government
sustained by sane people.
Ogden (Utah) Standard: Germany's
note calls for singing reply from
the United States. 1t is a challenge,
It is a challenge to Wilson's warning
as to strict accountability; it is a re-
verting to the barbarous--to the pois

ST. Paul Pioneer Press: The worst

war have been fulfilled. And still the
people Of the United States, proud and
unansered, but perpiexed, will hope
that our participation in the European
struggle may be averted.
Baltimore Sun: The government ls
now facing the most critical situation
of the whole war, We cannot tenn
porize. There must be no more il
legal killing of American citizens on
the high seas. If insistence upon this
means a break with the central powers
then the break must come.
New York Sun: The note closes for
the present the chapter of altruistic
endeavors and tentatives of parley into
which President Wilson has written
his idealistic hopes. 1t creates an en-
tirely new situation, of the most prac-
tical sort so far as the United States
Is concerned, and serious in the eX-
treme in its possibilities of untoward
incidents which may put to the tes'
the steadfastness of Washington in
its attitude and assertion of the prin-
ciples which our state department has
already enunCiated.
Hartford Courant: Germany an

the ferocity of her marine warfare
and warns us to look out The allies
declare that they want no peace with
out victory, That is the return so far
from President Wilson's surprising in

land has the great navy of the world
and it is up to her to protect the ships
that Germany threatens to destroy
Washington Post: Germany's note
will fall upon the American public
with stupefying effect No doubt it
was in view of this danger that Presi

efforts to bring about peace. 1t is i'm
