While we may have some difficulty
in understanding what the German

cannot have any difficulty in under

Clears Misunderstanding.
In a general way. the message
clears up a great deal of misunder-
standing among some of the members
of the Senate as to the President 8
purpose in his earlier notes to Ger
many. The message has brought to
a climax the almost universal de-
mand in the Senate for an uncondi-
tional surrender and has satisfied
those members of the Senate who
have been particularly insistent upon
making this demand upon Germany.
1t is felt. too. that the message
sweeps away the uncertainty and eva
sion which Germany had built up
about her overtures for peace, and
lays down again the terms in Ian
guage which even the rulers of that
empire cannot fail to understand.
Senator McCumber. of North Da-

sounded the note in the Senate for
unconditional surrender. was partic-
