Under the caption, What would Lin

President Wilson has been praying
for peace with a fervor and eloquence
we cannot sufficiently admire. Now his
prayers are answered by the most
truculent declaration ever issued by a
war lord since the days of Genghis

The Times says that there is nothing
surprising in the German note to those
who are nearest the war. 1t contends
that the communication is merely "the
logical application of principles upon
which Germany has acted from the out
set, namely, necessity knows no law"
The Times sees in the speech of Chan
cellor Won Bethmann Hollweg proof
That his real attitude on the submarine
question has been consistent through
out, although in his dealings with the
United States "he has sometimes sac
rifced principles to expediency."
He now proclaims,' says the Times,
that he was always ready to adopt
ruthless U-boat war as soon as it
seemed likely to bring Germany VIC
torious peace. So he filings aside the
pretense of humanity unctuously af-
fected in his former notes to President
Wilson"

In her frenzy Germany has mistaken
her own interest. Won Bethmann Hoil-
weg's speech is the most brazen-faced
record. In order to strike at England

The Telegraph admits that the posi-
tion is embarrassing for the allies, and
that the new campaign may do them
grave injury before it is overcome, and
expresses the greatest sympathy for
President Wilson. for whom it has no
