PRESS FINDS Sees Wikon on Grund That Makes For Peace. SOME JOLTS FOR BRYAN WHU DESERTED POST IN TIME | OF DANGER. i i | | | | New York Herald Says the German | Ambassador Controlled One Mem- | ber of Cabinet and Aimed to Con- trol President, New York, June 11.~The New| York papers comment .on the reply' by the American Government to the | German noto as follows: The New York Times editorially says: "The reply to Germany's note | is the appeal of a nation of the twen- | tleth century to a nation that has re- | verted to the principles and prac-| tices of the thirteenth, The: de- | mands of the barons which invoked | Magna Charta from King John are the demands we now make of Ger. | many, that she recognize the natural | principles of justice and humanity, that. she acknowledge lag without whicli men could enjoy no equality of right, "Germany, we are persuaded; will not withhold the assyrances we ask. "In loyal American minds there is no question of the rightfulness and Justice of these demands or of the obligation of our Government to make them. There can be in no German mind any question of the soundness of the legal position taken by our Government, for there is no room for argument about it. "There is no ylelding in our note, no drawing back, from the position assumed in the note of May 13, The national honor and security demand that we stand upon the prineiples of that note. and we but follow the ex ample of a great German when we say that we cannot do otherwise, "Unmistakably it is a reply that makes for peace, not for strife. Our feet are planted upon sure ground of right, of law, of justice; of human~- ity, yet we urge compliance in lan- guage of friendship and courtesy. ' If we leave te Germany no choice but compliance, it is because she would belie. her owa traditions, her high civilization, and would forfeit her place among enlightened and human peoples. We ask of her what is jus- tice to herself; she must grant. Anything Else 'an Ultimatum. The World says: "President Wil- son's reply to the German nete could hardly have been made more moder: ate and restrained without surrender. ing the American contention in this controversy. "In the main, the note is a reitera- tion of the principles of international law and the code of humanity which 'the President defined and upheld in the note of May 13th, in which Ger- many was warned that the United States would omit no word or act necessary to maintain the rights of its citizens on the high seas. "Had it not been for the mad per- formance of Mr. Bryan lin suddenly deciding to ¢reate a New Heaven and a: New Earth in national affairs by his personal fiat, we think the note, on the whole, would have been a dis- appointment to a majority of the American people, "It is doubtless well, nevertheless, that the. note errs on the side of + This is particularly view of the sorry per- formance of Mr, Bryan.

Be that as it may, the Presi- dent shows himself an enlightened Statesman, eager to find a specific solution to ithe. problem, if such a solution can be found without sacri- ficing principles that are vital, not only to the United States, but to ev. ery neutral nation whose citizens and whose ships sail the high seas." The Press "says: 'President Wil. son's note of yesterday to Berlin is sound, firm and all that anybody would ask it to be. Its excellence sulla ak praise.

It makes for peace." German Ambassador's Efforts. The New York Herald says: "A great diplomatic crisis in 'this coun- try was safely passed on Tuesday. How great that erisis was wil] per. haps not be apparent to the great mass of 'Americans until the secret history of diplomatic negotiations "But it is clearly apparent that a conspiracy masquerading counterfeit effort to pre nce the de. spatch of the President's note to Germany, following the sinking of the Lusitania, which had for its pur- Pose the surrendering of American rights, the smirking of American honor and the connivance at murder of American men, women and chil. ren. The German controlled one member of the cabi- net, and the only wonder is that he did not do more harm than he real- ly accomplished. The aim was to also control the President of the United States. = Sections of the press that had been clamoring for rigid action against Germany have been silenced. The note sent on Wednes. day by the President to Germany shows how completely this plot has: been frustrated. The President stands firmly on his original ground. "The President's note on every point is firm, and while time is given for further discussion, it is perfectly evident that Germany must comply with the request of the United States Or cease to be regarded as anything but an enemy of the United States and of mankind." .

Filipes-| co, former Roumanian Mirister of} War: "Some weeks ago it was in our power to eliminate all our difficul- ties and place ourselves on the map as Great Roumania. I hope it may be so to-morrow, but I have serious fears. "To-day ninety-five per our demands have been while five per cent. are contested. cent of in these latter demands some con-{ cessions: have been made to us, but to gain everything we ask, it is ne- cessary to negotiate and not to pro- ceed to the ultimatum. The pro- | longation of the present situation is | ap insult to us. Our success depends under aon mest rapid action."

C. M. G., will asked the Mi of War "when we may hope to have the list of honors and promotions in the Canadian foreg in recognition of their distinguished services and patri- otic sacrifices." . Enormous numbers of captured Germans continue to reach Kiev. Herman Ridder, of the New York Staats Zeitung, apologizes for former criticisms of Bryan, the best proof that Bryan pacificiem is really in the special interests of Germany. A Berlin despatch says: The American note probably will not be answered sooner than two weeks, be- cause the arrival of Dr. Anton Meyer- Gerhard with special messages from Count von Bernstorff, German Am- bassador at Washington, to the Ger- man' Government must be awaited. His arrival is not expected before the 17th, tary Bryan resigned rather than sign ---one verb of menace, one noun of | bluster, one adjective of provocation, one adverb of premature hostility, even a semi-colon or comma justify- ing the eminent quitter's attitude to- ward the document. "The present note dictated By Pre. sident Wilson and signed by the Sec- retary of State ad interim; leaves Mr. Bryan in a position as foolish and harmless for evil as it is possible to conceive in tho case of a statesman of serious pretensions before the eyes of the world. "Let us dismiss Mr. William J. Bryan to the preposterous fate for which his congenial qualities prodes- tined him, and for which the merci- less pages of history have until now kept open for his coming. *"Purning 'to the more important aspect of the correspondence with Germany, it 'will be observed that President' Wilson and hig loyal coun. sellors have made the only logical reply possible to the note addressed to our Government on May 28th by the German minister for foreign af- airs "More than ever patriotic Ameri. cans must admire the constructive skill and dialeetibility with which their representative, the administra- tion of President Wilson, has mar- shalled the precepts of law and the forces of mora] sentiment for the convincing of a great and hitherto al- ways friendly power that justice is with us, and that the right course is Germany's best course." "Notable For Yd The American says: 'The adminis. tration's second mote to Germany is notable for its self-restraint and pa- cifieatory toné--which 1s to say, it is notable for its sanity. "President Wilson has neither forced a quarrel upon a nation desir. ous of remaining friendly nor has he withdrawn' any demands which the United States had recognized a right to present. ' i "From the beginning of this con- troversy, the American has insisted that our government should stand for our rights, all our rights, and noth- ing but our rights... "It is quite obvious that this note is pot at all what Mr. Bryan's ac- tion seemed to.suggest. The presi dent's note of yesterday leaves the administration in a 'position---it it chooses to take. it---of basing its fu- ture: contentions purely upon these absolutely: defy le. and = temable rights.

How it could | movem The American note to Germany, considered here as "firm but pacific," divided the interest of the British public gn Friday with the successful Russian counter thrust against the Austro-German lines in Galicia. The new American note to Great Britain on the rights of neutral com- merce will make the same demand of that government that the United States has already made of Germany, namely, that she shall adhere to the recognized principles of international law in her treatment of Americans and their property. William Jennings Bryan on Fri- day night issued an appeal addressed to "the German-Amerieans" urging them to aid in maintaining peace be- tween the United States and the Fatherland by exerting their influ- ence with the German Government to persuade it not to take any steps that would lead in the direction of WAL. 73 a The Late Harvey Craig.
