DEFENDS U-BOATS
Germany Challenges q. s. to
Prove Treaty Is Broken.
In Note Say Americans Are to
Be Free in Germany.

Washington, April Germany in
communication addressed to the
United States thru the Swiss minister,
has challenged the assertion that the
German government has violated the
treaties of 1885, 1893 and 1928.
American citizens, said the note,
most part have already done so.
The note, replying to this govern
ment's refusal to reaffirm the treaties,
declares the U-boat warfare does not
contravene the provision of article IL.
of the treaty of 1855, and article 13, of
| the treaty of 1899, since they do NOT
oppose blockade or distractions SINH
lar for the blockade.
Text of German Note.
The communication, dated March
80, 1917. says:

WHAT THE WAR MEANS.

The outbreek of the European strug
gle took the president, in common with
practically all Americans and most
Europeans, by surprise. 1t was only
after neutrality was announced, says
Worlds Work. that there was time to
begin to study into the causes and
possible effects. The public in the
United States Immediately crystallized
it's opinion about the responsibility for
starting the war and the merits of the
two sides. With the exception of the
Germantown, a portion of the Jews,
and part of the Irish, America hoped
then as now that Germany would be
defeated. But this hope was founded
mainly on the belief that Germany and
her satellites were wrong in their quar-
rel with the rest of Europe. 1t was
founded very little on the belief that
the struggle concerned America or
American institutions.
In various quarters, however, as
time went on it ] ecame plain that,
whatever other characteristics the
struggle had, one thing was certain
if Germany won, world democracy
would receive terrible blow; If Ger
many were defeated, democracy would
receive a tremendous impetus. Out of
this perception grew the phrases that
the Allies or that England was fight
ing our battle-the battle of democ-
racy
1t staggers the imagination to pic
ture the effects upon the world if
German submarines effectively should
starve Great Britain. She would have
to give up her fleet. The British
Empire is based upon sea power. Sea
power is based upon ownership of a
great fleet, and therefore the British
Empire would disintegrate. Canada,
Australia, Egypt, India would be de-
| tached. And if Germany got the Brit
ish fleet, what would we get?
Not invasion, for that would not
be necessary. We would have to fight
for the Monroe Doctrine with every
ounce of our energy and power and
all our resources. We would have
to fight to prevent dictation of COM
mercial terms
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1917-04-04

Now that war has been decided up
on. the president and congress and
the country are confronted with the
problem of how best to fight II.
When the president in his address be-
fore congress urged that the nation
exert all its power and employ all
its resources to bring the government
of the German empire to terms and
end the war" he left little more TO
be said. Having entered the war we
must win it at whatever cost. The
quickest way of obtaining results IS
by aiding the Entente Allies with mon
en- and provisions. To do this carries
with it the necessity of Kidding the
ocean of German submarines. This
accomplished it is improbable that
any actual fighting on land will be nee
essary. But this cannot be taken for
granted and preparations for war must
go forward just the same as tho we
were fighting Germany single handed
