with Supplying effect. 1t is impossi-
BILE for this government to tolerate
the new rule which Germany seeks to
impose.
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
as concerned, and serious in the ex-
IRENE in it's possibilities of untoward
incidents which may put to the test

attitude and assertion Of the principles
which our State Department has al
ready enunciated
Hartford Courant: Germany an
ncunces that she is going to increase
the ferocity of her marine warfare and
warns US to look GU. England has the
greatest navy of the world and it is
i up to her to protect the ships that Ger
many threatens to destroy. What Will
son will do about it remains with Will
son, subject of course to the advice
of Col House of Texas.
Baltimore Sun: The government
now is facing the most critical sit
uation of the whole war We cannot
temporize. 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 pow
ers, then the break must come.
San Francisco Chronicle: 1t is

should do nothing until she is specific
ally injured.
Denver Post: Germany is rushing

other choice than the severance Of dip

Tampa (Fla.) Tribune: Germany's
latest move is that of a nation goaded
to despera ton. 1t may well lead to
severance of relations with Germany

How Germany,s Latest War Measure
Is Viewed by the American Press

| The Charleston u.s. c. News and
Courier: This country must either
make a surrender of it's rights and a
retraction of its words not compatible
with honor or else it must be prepar-
ed for the probable consequence of a
break with Germany.
Richmond News-Leader: Mr.. Wilson
asked for bread, and the Kaiser gave
him stone. That ends dreams. The
time has come for the United States
to lead in forming a league of neu-
trails to restore peace.
Columbia Record The imperial
edict has broken the peace. Superfici-
ality of friendship has been exposed.
We cannot trifle with power that
knows no responsibility of the cove
nants of right. The shoals of coward
ly tranquility threaten. Our safely
lies in the open sea of hostility.
Charleston Post: An impasse be-
tween this country and Germany has
bee created out of which no other
way appears than the severance of
diplomatic relations by the United
States in accordance with the Presi-
dents declaration.
Tampa Times: President Wilson's
peace move, inspired by spiritual ideal
ism, is met with materialistic Prussian
insolence 'Trunng the other cheek"
having proven futile, adoption Of a
different courst now seems imperative.
Discard the soft answer, cali the
Kaiser and stand behind the call.
Florida Metropolis: Germany's dec
claration of a ruthless submarine cam
paign designed to starve England into
submission is hardly less than an in
Yitation for severance of diplomatic
relations by the United States with
Germany
Greensboro IN. c. Record: When
the Germans sent their peace onte and
it was humiliation or nothing, this
paper said Germany was getting ready
TO play the desperate game. 1t said
she would claim the hand of the entire
world was raised against her, threat
ening her destruction and that she
would become so desperate she would
recognize no flag and forget the rules
