The Answer to
German Contempt

German contempt for American proves
in the present war, whether real or al
fected, has Influenced opinion somewhat
in favor Of an early opportunity TO match
arms with the foe This is the answer OF
"Tbe St. Louis Post-Dispatch" to the
declaration Of the new Chancellor:
"Tbe Chancellor sneers at America as
negligible factor. The only answer we can
give 10 his sncer is to speed up war pfepS
rations on the largest scale and thro" AL
our available forces and skill into the anti
submarine campaign We must prove 10
both the German people and their masters

an end to their hopes Of victorious "ef'

the murderers and has the power, without
going TO war, to guard against the commits
sion Of such crimes in the future.
"The medieval challenge suddenly hurled
By the Vienna government practically de-
handed that Serbia should become a pro
tectorate Of the Dual Monarchy. Serbia's
reply 20 this remarkable message was con-
strained, dignifed, and yielded every really
essential point The publication this morn
ing Of complete summary Of this reply
proves that Austria's continued determine
ton 70 invade Serbia is based on other rea-
,ons than those indicated in the ultimatum'
ut will be freely said that Count Berch-
od has seized what seemed to him most
popitious opportunity for dealing blow at
pan-Slavism and for strengthening pan
Germanism, and incidentally reviving the
German party in Austria. Taken alone, and
isregarding the seemingly inevitable conse-
qusnces TO the rest Of Europe, it is pro-
ptious opportunity. But the oppor-
tunty cannot be considered alone, nor can
the larger consequences Of the act be DIS
regarded, even if Germany and Italy, Russia,
France and England are at the moment
closely occupied with vital internal problems
Of constructive legislation.
"The time must come when the word
opinion must be considered whenever me
question Of war arises. Perhaps the time Is
not far of. One thing is certain, the pros
pee, Of general European war, Tor sueh
cause as that put forward by Austria as
an excuse for its treatment Of Serbia, Is
regarded in this country in very different
light from that with which some OF inc
great wars Of the past were viewed. Slaugh-
;er for conquest and glory is no longer
boxed upon as a matter Of course. II IS not
100 much 10 say that the war news from
Vienna is read here with loathing and a
sense Of shame. The only hope OF peace
seems 20 be an awakening Of the German
Conscience"
On the same day The Tribune wrote:

America Is Not Fighting for
Mere Technical Rights

Just as the assassination of the Austrian
Archduke seems faraway and negligible
factor in the final sum Of the war itself,
so few Americans remember the sinking Of
the Sussex or other incidents far below
the Lusitania murder in their human sig
nifcance as having TO do with our entry
into the war. And yet THE Washington
Post" interprets the State Department de
cision not to take part in an Allied con-
ference on the aims of the war as con-
clusion that we are warning against Ger
many because Germany interfered with
American commerce and committed other
merely technical wrongs against our
national person. AS for the nations fight
ing with Germany, we have no grievance
against them, preferring to remain out
side of the general quarrels of Europe
when they do not concern us.
To all of this "The Des Moines Reg
lister" takes a large exception, finding
America in the war for much more than

laration of war, and with everything he has
said since the war began. and with the geu-

there be state reasons. Why should not
America declare the purpose America really
has, and begin now to formulate the de-
mands satisfaction of which will alone jus
tify the sacrifice?
But nobody can tolerate the notion that
we are in fact at war with Germany over
the sinking of the Sussex or over any other
of the specific injuries done to our com
merce. Nobody can tolerate the notion that
we should be willing to conclude peace with
Germany if satisfaction were rendered. II
it is necessary that we should appear to he
at war because Of these things and should
appear 10 be seeking satisfaction for these
injuries, it is one of the embarrassments Of
the situation
The newspapers, it might appear, refuse
to wage a war that cannot be justified by
more than a loss Of the few commercial
cargoes that might have seemed 50 precious

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-07-29

THERE is always something Olym-
plan about the newspapers. In
Ia dividuals may have doubts, but
newspapers rarely have. Doubtless there
are reasons for it; the giants survey Of
the little world gives unusual opportuni-
ties for acquiring definite opinions. At
any rate it is true that American editorial
opinion in the mass does not hesitate any
where when it comes to the war. 1t is as
composed, as settled, and as agreeable to
the compulsion of the war spirit as in
those distant three years ago it condemned
Europe for initiating an apparently need
less slaughter But it is a commonplace
&c saw that all war aims and attitudes
have changed in these startling thirty-siX
months, and it is possible that from their
vantage point newspapers have been the
first in America to exchange the provin-
cial viewpoint which saw Europe fighting
for merely selfish aims for the wider
idealism that describes a terrible battle Tor
freedom to live.
"Our war" is what "The Indianapolis
Star" calls it, "our war to the very end
and unless it is ended satisfactorily we,
with most to lose, will be called on to pay
the heaviest penalty. Any one who under
takes to create the impression that we are
being made cat's-paws for European allies
is serving the purpose of the enemy. we
are in the war, and there is nothing to be
done but to win our way out in coopera-
ton with our Allies" The sentiment APP
pears, too, in Milwaukee, where multi
tude of Teutonic traditions does not keep
"The Milwaukee Journal" from declaring:
"A great many people have fooled them
selves about the United States because we
have not been wildly excited But deep
down there has been the growing conviction
that this country must settle this war; that
il will settle IT,"
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-07-29

be slow to make common cause with Russia
and France against Germany and Austria
Hungary. She would probably reserve her
strength 70 compose the quarrel after its
first violence had been spent. The brunt Of
a European war would fall on the four great
Continental powers. Should Germany ard
Austria Hungary lose, it would probably
mean the end of the Hapsburg rule and the
breakup of the sick man empire, which
has now rashly invited a making-over of the
map of Europe"
And "The New York Evening Post"
said:
Bishop Butler once specialized on the
possibility Of whole nation going suddenly
insane. II he were alive to-day he could
extend his query and ask if half dozen ma
tions at once might not become crazy. In
Vienna, in Paris, in Berlin and st. Peters
burg he would see signs Of acute mania af-
ficting large bodies of people. Mob psy-
chology often shows itself in dscouraging
and alarming forms, but is never so repul-
sive and appalling as when it is seen in
great crowds shouting for war. Lest we for
