Views of George Bernhard.

1--WE hear confidenrially." writes
! George Bernhard in the Vossische lei
tung, that the American people. TO
whom our innermost reasons are set
forth in the newest note, will under
stand our motives. If the United States
earnestly desires peace they must see
that, in the very nature of Things, the
way chosen by Germany is the one that
leads most quickly to the desired end
The United States now must show
whether they are genuinely neutral
toward the European struggle.
The demands for which we long
have been working at last have been
fulfilled by the leaders of the empire
and, from now on, no consideration
shall restrict our martial strength
'"rhe submarine, the triumph of Ger
man technique and daring, now Will
be played out as the trump in the life
and-death game, trump whose ef-
ficiency will be discovered in the gl-
santic struggle now entered upon its
final and decisive phase.
English leaders have outraged every
neutral state in Europe, but Germany
has been unable for a long time to de-
eide whether to repay her in the same
coin. We continuously believed that
we should respect the interests of neu-
which was in accord with out own in
terests and we all know how unspeak-
ably hard it was for our leaders to de-
eide to use to its full strength the eff
fective weapon which alone Is able to
inflict upon England the same dangers
and distress with which she menaces

View of Socialist Organ.

The yorwaerts the socialist organ,
after pointing out the advantage of the
parliamentary system, which divides
responsibility, declares this division in
the present case does not prevent a
common goal. and that the entire Ger
man people is agreed upon the use of
the proper means for reaching that
goal.
THE question of what means are
proper" says the Norwaerts, is not to
DE solved by discussions i'll meetings or
by the newspapers
Regarding the effect of the new step
on neutral powers, the Vorwaerts says:
no one in Germany denies that the
difficulties under which neutralS nave
to suffer in this war will be materially
increased by the new determination OF
the German government a neutral
cannot. aside from the exceptions made
in favor of the United States. trade
with enemy states without subjectinS
crews of ships and freights to enormous
danger. 1t cannot be avoided thatN the
opponents of Germany Will make use
of this circumstance and will attempt
to induce neutraIs. especially Arneri-
cans, to join their coalition. These ef-
forts are not new, but they viii be
merely renewed with unusual zeal Neu-
trails must ask themselves where their
interests lie. but they must admit that
a distastrous defeat of Germany is not
10 their interest, and. even if their
opinions differ on this point, that such
q disastrous defeat could not be accom-
plished by their joining the coalition.
'"rhey want what we, especially we
social democrats want - peace - not
peace gained through physical pressure
On Germany, but through moral pres
sure on the opponent who refuses peace.
More than ever-this is our hope-they
should bend all their efforts to ending
the war The basis i'll President Will
sons message to the Senate was cor
rect and remains correct, and nothing
good will come to the world If the
American policies should stray away
from it, 4 huge majority of the Ger
man people is united with the German
government in the wish to retain
friendly relations with the United
States. Americas great historical role
is not that of an ally of either set Of
oombatants, but an ally of all friends

DR.. Wolff Is Neutral.

DIR. Tbeodor Wolff. who in his writ
ings in the Tageblatt hitherto has been
a consistent opponent Of unrestricted
submarine warfare, expresses neither
approval nor disapproval of the newly
announced measure in SO many words,
contenting himself with more than
three-fourths of his long editorial to
a coIorless resume of the chancellors s
speech and the note to the United
States.
THE contents of the notes and the
memorandum" says DR.. Wolff, will be
known to the whole world today, and
there is no doubt that the impression
created will be powerful. Just how
this impression will find expression in
America must be awaited, for prophe-
cies lead to nothing. None among US,
to paraphrase the note, will close our
eyes to the seriousness of the step we
are taking, and we must assume that
everything, to the last detail, has been
carefully considered. There has been
plenty of time to test and weigh every
thing carefully, time has not been
lacking in which to consider all possi-
bilities and to study the question quiet
ly Events have not. as in July, 1914.
been thrown upon us hurriedly. The
military authorities are one with the
chancellor who cannot any more be
accused of weakness by his opponents
owing to his view that unrestricted
submarine warfare may and must be
undertaken as a means of victory

We must walt until we know for cer-
tain the real meaning of the warning.
Then. knowing the facts, with firm con-
viction, we must set our course and fol-

Press Halls Announcement.

The press received the announcement
with delight. The pan-German papers do
not exult to the extent which might have
been expected, but the liberal organs
almost without exception abandon their
old-time opposition and hail the chancel-
lor's words with warmly patriotic express
sions of approval.
Most of the journals devote a para
graph or more to the probable effect
on neutrals, especially America They
declare almost without exception that
they hope the United States will under
stand Germany's- position. and approve 1t
as the surest and quickest method OF
bringing about peace, but all emphati-
cally warn against attempted interven-
tion or mixing in by the United States.
The Boersen Zeitung, which has been
consistently moderate on the submarine
and similar issues, summarizes its own
acquiescence in the decision of the gov
ernment in these words:
He would be poor German who
would not now say: Right or wrong. the
only thing that counts now is to fight for
the fatherland's victory"
The imperial chancellor and the others
who reached the decision. says the paper,
did SO with full realization of their re-
sponsibilities: therefore it would be ir-
responsible to criticise them for u step
based on unknown facts.
Not Act of Desperation.
The Morgen Post, declaring that the
decision is one of tremendous impor-
tance, which, however, had to be taken,
assails those who in the earlier periods
criticised the opponents of unrestricted
submarine warfare mistakenly as the
opponents of the submarine when, in
reality, they only felt that the decision
should rest with the authorities who
were equipped with proper knowledge.
The paper declares that the decision is
not desperate tactics. nor an act OF des-
peyation, but merely all Indication that
Germany has clearly decided what goal
must be reached and what paths lead to
that goal
The Morgen Post concludes with the
hope that the United States may regard
the matter in an bipartisan. manner.
but declares that, whether this should
be the case or not, Germany will go
ahead with 1t.
Vorwaerts is the only new spaper to
call attention to the fact that this inn
portant decision was reached by the
leaders of the empire without consult
ing the people through the reichstae

only two morning newspapers that

Strike Will Start in chicago-Five
DAYS Grace for Milk Trains.
CHICAGO, ILL.-The general con
ference committee of railroad mana
gers in New York will refuse definite
ly to grant the eight-hour day with ter
hours pay, is the prediction of railway
officials in Chicago. They predict that
President Wilson then will intervene
as the strike situation has been in his
hands since last August.
All local and general chairmen OF
the employees of the railroads that
have been selected to strike, have re-
ceived circulars signed by the chief
executives of the brotherhoOdS, in
which the plan of the campaign is out
lined. After a detailed statement OF
the action of the meeting in Cleve'
land Saturday, it states:
Rail Employees Issue Statement.
"While we are prepared for the
worst, the die has been cast. There is
no turning back But we hope and be-
lieve a strike can be won without the
passenger men leaving the service.
eff it becomes necessary to leave
the service on any property, we will
not hesitate to call upon as many lines
as necessary to make this movement
a success, and while it is necessary for
some sytem or group of lines to make
the issue first, our confidence in our
membership on all the lines is the
same should it be necessary to call on
them"
The chief executives also explain
why the passenger, milk and mail
trains will be permitted to run for five
days. They state that the object is to
Inconvenience people as little as pos
sible, but that it also was true that in
strikes that lasted any time, passen-
ger trains are run to a greater or less
er degree.
If the general conference committee
rejects the ultimatum to be presented
by the brotherhood leaders and Presi
dent Wilson fails to intervene, the
first strike will begin at p. m, east
ern time, Saturday night.
Wilson Will Act to Prevent Tie-Up.
WASHINGTON, d. c. President
Wilson will act promptly and decisive
ly to prevent any general tie-up of tn:
commerce of the country through 4
great railroad strike while the nation
is confronted with the dire p0ssibili
ties of the present international situa
ion. Convinced that both the railroads
and their employees will put aside their
own differences to join in the defense
of the country, the President is pre-
pared to once more step into the rail
road controversy if the strike threat
once more becomes acute.
Although confined to his room, the
President is in close touch with the
railroad situation.
