" . ; .THE GERMAN NOTE: . :l jiHE spirit of tht German note is an excellent example ;to American I , citizens of pro-German faith. - - r r - - . 1 - I . - It contains no wort) of reproach. v .It voices -no protest against - America, r Its terms of expression are the terms of friendship for America.' Its voice is the voice 'of a neighbor and ts tone the tone of . brotherhood. lu, it,, Germany makes no , charge of any kind against the government at Washington. " It does not abandon" submarine -warfare, but it Btudiousiy avoids -a declaration tbat it will insist upon submarine warfare. It carefully cleaves the way open: for retreat m&w4 b,t.v tsw,..,.. ... . . -i . . ... - How" much more could we expoct at. this Juncture from Germany! The submarine is the only weapon 1 . ( .' . . . . . mercnani snips are'imernea or at ships; cruisers and, other warships home, she is surrounded oh all sides with a, wall of steel.; Her popu Jation sees possibility ahead of shortened .food supply. The only thing which Germany can send out Into the big world to-acl . for her, 'laT her submarines.;1 , " , . , f . --' V v.- Why- wouldn't 'she: cllns to thU, her : only arm upon - the ocean? It-Is natural for her, to hold to' this one Implement with t"whlch ..she I can make herself felt" outside of Germany; - The acts of 'these sub 1 marines : are the " one achievement that the imperial ..government tan i point out to German people as evidence, of something German arms; are ! doing beyond the German frontier. If Berlin were to suddenly; abandon under-sea ' warfare, 'it would bs.difiicult to explain the action' to t the uerman eoimere in ib iieia or 10 would be a precarious move, a move prestige of t the Berlin government derive from her submarines. It- is an much to satisfy the German population with the war, and . with' her 'keen knowledge of that fact,, Germany will negotiate long and earnestly Jf ,ta "teati?-1The ft explains JT" r vr In the note that she was driven to pose to isolate Germany and starve German armies into submission. -, incidentally, the. American purpose has solely In view the protec tion of American lives and property, and ; a reasonable . adherence, 'for the sake, of America ' and other neutrals, to the rules of international law. Germany since the sinking of the Lusltania has paid strict regard to the safety of American lives at sea. There have, been no more Lusitanias, and there will he no more. There lias Indeed," been greater care by the submarines in attacks upon the 'shipping of all neutrals. Distinct progress has been' made by-the negotiations, and there is little doubt that other and greater accommodations will ensue.' Thus, the German' note establishing the war zone warned Wash ington Chat American, vessels in the war zone would be in great peril of destruction: by submarines. " Yesterday's German note assures us that "American ships will not be hindered in the prosecution of -legitimate shipping and the lives of Ameilean citizens on neutral vessels shall not be placed in Jeopardy." The contrast in spirit of the two announcements Is an important change, and ' a distinct expression of German friendship . The absence for two months of submarine acts for us-to complain, of and. emphatic assurance by Berlin-of: a purpose to respect the American flag Is a distinct gain in the great issue, of securing immunity for American ships from attack.;. ; ; I ,, , Of course,;; the. .Washington government J will not subscribe to the terms advanced 'by the imperial government j respecting the giving notice of the" sailings of vessels carrying,, American passengers and giving' assurance; that there isno contraband .goods. in the cargo.! It is, In fact, entirely unlikely that Berlin expects compliance with this request,' or that she -advanced .It for other purpose than to gain time and keep the way 'open for continuation of the negotiations. ; : ; V " Z" The Washington "governments will, . and should maintain , a "firm position In pushing our contention fojr- the canons and conditions of international law. : It Js an obligation1 this government owes not only to itself but. to all neutral nations. It is a responsibility that rests upon America as the one power looked to for holding up and' sustaining civ ilization and the humanism -of th9 .world. 4 f 4- ' ' ? Washington can do this with confidence, because. the negotiations between the two capitals nave, already brought about, a better under- ' standing by the "peoples of the two - i ac every point wnat to ao, now ana I when to do it," th'ls self government ; makes, him a " responsible being and 'compels him. to . exercise his facul- "e"- i Instead of . leaving . the -. inmate more " helpless when - he goes out than .when he 'came in, ihe. system .makes him stronger, a better judge of his relations with his fellows, and gives him a quickened l ability j to look : after . his own welfare .and respect that of others. . The inmates " have v better ; opportunity to know 'the secret infractions "of regulations than do : the officers of the institution. On that , account they, secure a better and - more wholesome moral condition than it is possible for the citizen: officers to enforce. ; . . .

"In - thia ; commercial" age, here is a business asset"; and closing with - the appeal, "Go .to church to morrow." ' This appeal, declares an editorial writer in The Christian Her aid. should be.-, repudiated n by the churches of New York, because it puts the duty of Christian - worship upon an 'unchristian basis. True enough, ha says, - "the appeal to the business interest was acknowledged to be.but a means to an end. That is, the ad vertisement stated that church attend ance would be a business " gain, ; and went on to state -that spiritual gain would undoubtedly result.' But, we are told, the advertisement contained these words: " - ' - .'."Right within 'your reach Is a' busi ness asset a very definite on which you are perhaps overlooking, i This asset i derived from . your : going ' to church. ' Undoubtedly you have never looked upon it In this light.. 1 It ia obvious, if you -are known as a steady, sober-minded churchman.- "those vwith, whom you deal have greater" confi dence in -you.
