The general sentiment of tho press is that Germany Ib challenging tho United States with a comlctlon that the challenge will not be taken op and that neutrals must sec today that they acted unwisely in not "nipping tne submarine warfare on commerce in tne bud." The newspapers express the opinion that the submarine cam paign off the coast Is the last touch to a situation which is becoming impos sible owing to the sinking of Scandi navian and other neutral ships. They declare that neutrals must feel bound to act as the navigation of the whole world is affected. The Gaulois says: "Germany is convinced that by ex tending the field of assassinations to American waters she will bring a peace movement in the United States. She imagines that American mer chants and the big trusts, seeing their overseas trade paralyzed will demand that Washington intervene for peace or force (ireat Hrltain to loosen the blockade.
