London, oct. 16.--German U-boat
outrages of this week. following VI
the enemy's destructive policy in
northern France at a moment wher
Chancellor Macmillan is pleading
for peace, have naturally intensified
the allies resolve to exact eXem-
plary vengeance from the authors of
thesef crimes and fro mthe German
people, who. in Mr.. Balfour's words
tolerated them without protest from
the outset of the war.
London Msjudges President.
While this feeling is at fever heat
here, there is evidence of a singular
misrepresentation that is growing
due largely to the criticisms by
his political opponents in the press
and senate, that President Wilson may
adopt a too lenient attitude toward
Germany.
His reply to the chancellor's appeal
for an armistice seems to be read in
some quarters, incredible as the inter
probation is, that if the Germans
evacuate the invaded territories the
president is prepared to negotiate
terms of peace with them. How
ever. a different note is struck by the
Ulster organ, the Morning Post, in an
editorial today
"Those who have been through the
fire of these last four years and more"
it says, know what they arc talking
about as no one else knows.
Tolerance of the German is found
only among those who either contom-
plate the war fro ma safe Gf sym
pathetic distance, or those whose
treasure being in Germany find their
heart there also"
In the same issue the Post pub
fishes a letter from Sir Edward Car
son on the torpedoing Of the Leinster,
inquiring, rs it too much to ask that
our government insist, before any
further notes are received from Ger
man sources that the perpetrators of
this diabolical crime be delivered up
and brought to iustice?"
Sir Edward Carson, as a Tory lead
err and former cabinet minister, might
be expected to realize that it is not
the receipt of the note that counts,
but the reply.
Allied Europe is on tiptoc of eX-
pectation awaiting the chancellor's re-
ply to the president, for it is conf
IDENTIFY believed that whether it is abb
solute submission to his preliminary
demand for the evacuation of invaded
territories, or, as later adVices from
Berlin indicate, some further futile
diplomatic trick to obtain delay, it will
be followed by a cataclysm among the
central powers,
Germanys military position grows
more hopeless by leaps and bounds
ana even if the kaiser is willing to
see further heoatombs Of his subjects
offered UP, it is doubtful If he can
maintain thai policy for long in the
face of internal conditions in the Ger
man empire.
The news that Turkey had appealed
for "A separate peace TO the president
is still officially unconfirmed here, but
Berlin kilograms show such a. step is
fully anticipated in the Wilhelm-
strasse. The postponement Of the SEES
sion of the Reichstag is interpreted as
probably showing the struggle the
kasers and junkers are making
against the inevitable. one report
here says the kaiser is for making a
grand sortie by the German fleet with
the forlorn hope of breaking the iron
ring of the British navy and getting
into the Atlantic and doing such de-
struction among conveys of men and
shipping as to compel the allies and
America to grant terms other than
unconditional surrender.
