mented on lu toda' press, which
consider that the udmlsslon accent
uates Germany's collapse before
President Wilson's attitude.
The Petit Parlslen says that any
examination of too comments of the
German press shows that It Is dom
inated by the feeling that Germany
has undergone one of the gravest
diplomatic checks In her history, and
Ihut she dare not answer back to
Washington as she would like.
There is considerable skepticism
about the punishment of the com
mander of the submarine. Marcol
Hiitlii aas: "We are curious to know
and perhaps the American govern
ment will show the same curiosity as
to what sort of punishment has been
chosen for the commander of the
submarine, lias not Admiral Von
CaiMlle promoted Lieutenant Otto

PKTltOOKAD, May 12. -The press
continues to comment on the sur
render of Germany to the demands of
the I'nited States. Some of tho pa
pers draw a comparison between thp
firm attitude of President Wilson
and what they describe as the desire
of the "ropresenlntlveH of American
science, politics, law and church" for
the eventual triumph of the allies.
American public feeling Is declared
to bn the best antidote for the two
years of German agitation lu tho
