' ' , New York American: Tha ' president's letter Is undeniably vigorous,' but It Is possibly dangerous aa well. Th nation desired that IU rightful demands sh6uld be laid be for th Oennan. government, but It did, not anMotpat that th presi dent would go to far beyond th piataly IE V and soundly rtKhtful scope of those de mands as to Invite a rebuff. Hprlngfleld (Mass.) Republican: The government's position In this esse la th country's pnsftlon. It Is not extreme, yet It covert the ground. Huffalo (N. t.) Courier: Right-minded men of Avery party will approve Ita ton and Its tenor. The closeness, the defln Itenott'wlth which thla presentation Is made, can . satisfy the most rigid Ameri canism thtt. views large affaire sanely. It reenia td meet every requirement of American patriotism and honor. Buffalo . (N. T.) Express: Thar has been' no backdown. Let the people's response go out from every comer of the land.

Knickerbocker Preaa: The not places the Issue aqtiarely be fore Oermany for action and on an nouncement .of future policy acceptable to , tha t'nlted. States government par ticularly a policy, of sea warfare, must ot 'long be delayed. I Oelombua (O.) State Journal: How Oermany will-promise to protect the Hves and property of our people In th future, or In what manner thla country wilt, receive lis. refusal to, remalna to be seen. It Ms a grave alternative, and while it 1 not likely to result In war. It will bring 'about an emt lty todard Oer many that Will b nil! of anxiety. Louisvlll Ky.) Ourier-Journal: The note to Oermany meets the requirements and' Is, such ss1 th government of the T'nlted' States should eddreas to Berlin. The preirtdsnt' leave little room for par ley . and - none other than mouthlngs or rupture remains for. Oermany . Loulsvlil ' (Ky.) Antelger: We agree with th president that th German gov ernment .mutt' explain the losses of the lived of American passrngers, but we do , not' think that the death of Amer icans gives th president tha right to de mand th cessation of Germany's under sea ..warfare against British commerce so long as England does not abrogate Its starvation '' warfare. Chicago Trlbuns: Whatever the fate of our .relations with. Oermany, the presi dent'' undoubtedly, has voiced the senti ment "cf ths nation- upon the use of the submarine as . to - tha rights of neutrals on tha high seas. Chicago Herald: There Is now po pos sibility of mistaking the position of our government. And it la a position In which th American' people will sustain In thslr government In whatever measures may be necessary to uphold It. Indianapolis BUf: In manly fashion th president's nots doss not shake the logic of his position, but accepts the full significance of his attitude. 8tvul Press: Tht American not has ''" ..... .

Hoping for tha best, the universal American sentiment will be that America has do,ne Itt duty and tha people will support the president through whatever may be the consequences. Springfield (III.) tate Journal: It 1 the dignified protest of a nation which while feeling that It right and th rights of other neutrals havs been viol ated Is neither vindicative or resentful. St. Louis Die Westliech Post: Fbr tb preea of th whole country there Is at preeent but on sacred duty, to leave nothing undone to avert Inner strife. That we Americans of Oerman descent with a bleeding heart contemplate th possibility of an armed conflict between the United States and the land of our forefathers, no fair minued person will condemn us for. There I still hop for sn honorable understanding on both sides. May Providence grant that the worst be averted. New Torker Stasia Zettung: While th Staata Zeltung makes no editorial com ment on. President Wilson's note today, reached to a wonderful height for foroe It has th following to say, printed In Kngllst-: . . "Nor Is this a time to burden millions of the American people with unjust and unnecessary anguish of mind. The German-Americans must suffer In any con flict between the United State and Oer many, pains of which their fellow cltlxens can never know anything of. It is rather a time for showing them th greatest degree of consideration. They have fought to uphold the flag In the past and .they will do so again, against any enemy whatsoever. They deserve the fruit of past loyalty until they havs forfeited the right to claim them. Then never can be but one flag under which he will ever fight and that flag Is the Stsrs and Stripes." Cincinnati Volsblatt: The note la dls srpolntlng In that It dlsregsrds th Just complaints of Oermany and appears to espouse the cause of Great Britain. We think that the difficulty admit of a satisfactory solution by advising Ameri can cittxens to travel on American ves sel Unwittingly th president shelter British cowardice, which tries to mako British ships Immune to Oerman attacks by taking American passengers aboard. Cincinnati Frel Preese:. Th part of th note dealing with th loa of Uvea In th husltlana catastrophe more properly ought to hav been directed to London. England alone Is responsible (or the Lusltanla's destruction through Its brutal threat to etarve a nation. Oermany can not atop th under sea warfare without surrendering Itself bound hand and foot to a brutal enemy. We ar not obliged and have no rlcht to set up ourselves as the itrotectors of British shipping. Ideal f Iateraatlosial Jaatlee. Cincinnati Commercial Tribune: Th strength of a Just man armed Is spparent In the protest sent by President Wilson. Devoid of truculence, breathing the high I f5 -; Miles 99 lFn?3 RtliabU DeaUr.

Washington Post: The not I framed In nvdorats Isnguage and leave abundant opportunity for th Oerman government to reply In a way that will restore good feeling between th two countries. The question Is now up to Ger many. It Is unnecessary to speculate whether the American note will lead to war or peace, because th Issu rests with Germany and not with ths United Btstes. The alternative la dearly set forth. Boston Globe: President Wilson has not shirked a grav responsibility. The American not clearly shows that Ger many must relent or take whatever con sequences we may decide to adopt Great ad Reaaowabl Paper. Boston Herald: President Wilson had) never written a great state paper more esaotly suited to th occasion. We hop most fervently that In a spirit of rea sonableness Oermany will coincide with the enlightened position set forth with clarity and power by tb president Boston Journal: President Wilson's words ar those of a patriot W can not believe that a nation which la bound by so many tie of friendship to ths nation la so far possessed by war mA r.rsa that It will fall to beed th ns sage. Boston Peat: Th not la all that such a message from a Justly agirrieved nation to the aggreasor nation should be. In It Is ths voles of th American pec) at Its finest and best It Is a powerful appeal to Oennan sanity. Philadelphia Publlo Lodger: Tha ad ministration has spoken, and spoken to the point. The German government can not have the slightest doubt as to Ita meaning. Will Germany listen to th voloe of prudence before It 1 too lateT Philadelphia Inquirer: W hav not always agreed with ths president ef the United States, but when It comes to a question of the nation's honor th presi dent must be upheld. The note Is written deliberately and coolly. There Is not a word spoken In haste. St Louis Republic: There Is not In th not any slightest hint that this gov ernment will atop short of th fullest reparation for the paat and th guaranty cf tha recognition of th full right cf American cltlxena In th future.
