the second Lusltania note is aa unsatis

Is evasion of tha simple Issue, as to
whether Uermany Intends to violate Inter

the death of American ritfsnn. The
failure of Oermsny, although twice Inter

such purpose. Is most discouraging to

8t. Louis Post-Dlstwtch: No matter
how profoundly one may sympathise with
Germany In Its present situation with
regard to ocean trade. It ts Impossible
to accept either the reasoning of ths
terms of the Imperial voverninont's note
to our government. The Oerman govern
ment abandons laws, logic and etl.tcs in
lis treatment of the United States. We
havs confidence In President Wilson's
insight and Judgment. We believe he
will find a way to compel respect for
American rights and protection for Amer
ican lives and property from lawless de
struction. Civilisation hangs tn the bal
ance. Cincinnati Frele Prease: Ths answer
of the aeininn government gives the
Unltod States everything thst can be
asked; safety for freight steamers If
they are legitimate commerce, and se
curity for American travelers on Amer
ican neutral ship or on ships which sail
through the war tone under the Amer
ican flag. More to demand Washington
has no right. Our government has no
busineas to procure safety on the ocean
for British ships carrying munitions.
Louisville Times: Two months after the
sinking of tha Dusitanla Germany not
only ignored every request made for
reparation, but lmfosee rules and regula
tions of Its own making 1A disregard to
neutral rights and International law, with
which nc self-reepocting government can
comply. It la Impossible to see how nego

can oontlnue on this basis It would seem
that the time has come for Mr. Wilson
to act.
Bt Paul Daily Volkg CTaltung: Under
tha caption "Germany meets us more
than halt way," tha new German note Is
a governmental guarantee of safety to
all Americana who cross the Atlantic In
vesaela properly flying the American flag.
Howsver, if American cltlaens prefer to
enter the dangerous war tone In a bel
ligerent vessel oarrytng a cargo of arms
and ammunition to the el Ilea, the Ger
man government declines to protect such
foolhardlnees. The German government
refuses to grant such reckless American
citlsena the light to Insure tha safe de

of Its sons and Imperil ita existence.
Milwaukee Sentinel: As a epeoiflo re

It Is Incredible that for a peaceable and
reasonable government like ours, capable
of appreciating the strain and exigencies
of this unprecedented war tor the very

her husband, William L. Yetter, on a
cross bill charging desertion. The

ing to Kansas City.
alt Filed ta Fall.
His suit for divorce came Into court last

Head, wife of a banker of Jefferson, la.,
the close friend of both of them. Mrs.
Head tried to get him to withdraw the
suit. .Yetter said today, after the divorce
was granted. When he refused to do that
she prevailed on him to allow Mrs. Yet

with the fact that If he ahould be given
a divorce It would leave a stigma en
Mrs. Ystter. He considered this.

In Morton township, has been puisled to
know how he could drain an Immense
slough on his farm so he could cut the
hay from the land covered by the slough.
Yesterday a baby tornado visited his farm

for him by sucking up practically every
drop of water In the slough. Now hs

The slough covered three or four acre
and the water was from two to three feet

BERLIN (Via London July 10.) Com
menting on the Oerman reply of July 8
to the American note dated June , rela
tive to Germany's submarine warfare and
its effect on American Interests the
Mnrgen Post today says:
"The snswer in every way la worthy
of Germany. It shows the calm of a good
conscience, a willingness to lessen the
fearfulhess of war as far aa possible and
an uptight wish to Uve in peaoe with
America. But It also expresses a firm
will not to sbste one jot or tittle of Ger
many's rights. The answer clearly shows
that the responsibility for the form of
submarine warfare rests on Oreat
Britain."
The Morgen Post quotes the American
note where It declares that the "govern
ment of the United States cannot admit
that the proclamation of a war sons from
which neutral ships have been Warned to
keep away may be made to operate as In
any degree an abbreviation of tha rights
either of American shipmasters or of
American cltlsens bound on lawful er
rands as passengers on merchant ships
of belligerent nationality," and says:
"This waa a point on which American
and Oerman conceptions were opposed to
each other and It must be pointed out
that this difference of opinion also Is not
compromised by the new Oerman note,
but that rather It still exists In Its essen
tial features."
The Morgen Poat alao aays:
"Feeling. In the United States Is changed
from what It was st the time of the
LuKitania sinking and President Wilson
will have to satisfy this new feeling In
considering and answering the present
note. That tha note will meet unrestrained
approval at the hands of a large part of
Americans Is certain."
