NKW YORK, May St. Comsaent
by leading papers of tl Ualted
i States on the German note Is as fol
! lews:
New Yoik (N. X.) Time The
German reply Is not responsive to
our demand. IL doc not nromote
that clear and fulL understanding m
to a ravo situation -which Prettdest
Wilson in his noto declared to bo
desirable Tho manner In
which Berlin receives our representa
tions In regard to tho sinking of tho
Lusltania could not fall to create a
lost disagreeable impression In this
country, whlah tho note's outward
form of courtesy will not removo.
New York (.V. Y.) World Tho
German note In response to the Amer
ican protest against submarine at
tacks upon merchantmen does not
meet the issue. It Is worse than
evasive. It Is insincere, oven petti
fogging. Itegrcl will bo felt every
where In the United States the af
fair of a great people believed to bo
friendly have fallen Into tho hands
of men capablo of such desperate
trifling.
New York (N. Y.) Tribune Ger
many's answer to our government's
protest against Iho slaughter of its
citizens peacefully lawfully going
about their business on tho high
seas, will not satisfy American opin
ion. Courteous on tho surface as
Herr von Jagow'g communication Is,
it docs not strlko tho noto which tho
peoplo of this country hoped that it
would striko,
NVw York (N. Y.) Press Herltn's
answer to President Wilson's noto is
friendly, gracious and unsatisfac
tory. Tho point is mado
unmlstakablo In Mr. Wilson's note
that tho von Tlrpitz admiralty must
stop slaughtering American citizens,
whether In tho case of a Gulfllght or
A Lusltania, whether by pairs or by
scores. Tho Itorlln foreign offlco
speaks of a probablo misapprehen
sion on tho part of our government as
to tho real character ot tho Lusltnala.
Thero Is none; there could be none.
Now York (N. Y.) Herald Gor
many has ignored the real Issue pre
sented by tho American noto ot May
13. As It was clearly set forth In
that historic document, tho attitude
of tho United States la not based
upon any one ot tho Eeries ot events
cited, but upon the prlnclpla Involved
in tho mothod ot warfaro In which
they woro Incidents. Tho Untied
Statos today tho champion of neutral
rights and non-combatant humanity.
In tho caso ot Germany versus civili
zation, the United States holds a brief
for civilization anil will to the, end.
Germany must respect tho rights ot
non-combatants traveling upon tho
high seas.
LottUvlUo Courier-Journal -Tho
Gorman answor to tho American note
Is a quibble. The time Is at hand
when tho president must meet the
demands of hla countrymen that
nothing must happen to trail our
majesty before any other majesty,
and that the United States shall lay
down to bolllgerentu certain rights
and laws of neutrality which they
shall le required to obey, If need he,
by ull the force we are able to put la
