He has lived up to the very best traditions of his character. New York World. It is calm. It is restrained. It is courteous, but with a cold, cutting courtesy that gives added emphasis to everv word By the strength of his case and the moderation of his tone, the president has made it as easy for Germany to do right as to do wrong. If he is to fail in his effort, it will be in good conscience and in a good cause. New York Sun. The note is impeacably ur bane, though not without little iron ies in its tone, friendly in spirit, resolute in its assertion of American rghts and of the freedom of the seas. It recalls Germany's conten tion for that liberty particu larlv a policy of sea warfare must not long be delayed.

It is a grave alternative; and while it is not likely to result in war, it win bring about an enmity toward Ger many that will be full of anxiety. Louisville Courier- Journal The note to Germany meets the re quirements, and is such as the gov ernment of the United States should address to Berlin. The president leaves little room for parley and none other than mouthings or rup ture remains for Germany. Louisville Anzeiger. We agree with the president that the German government must ex plain the loss of the lives of Ameri can passengers, but we do not think that the death of Americans gives the president the right to demand the cessation of Germany's under sea warfare against British com merce so long as England does not abrogate its starvation warfare. Chicago Tribune. Whatever the fate of our relations with Germany, the president un doubtedly has voiced the sentiment of the nation upon the use of the submarine and as to the rights of neutrals on the high seas. Cincinnati Volksblatt The note is disappointing in that it disregards the just complaints of Germany and appears to espouse the cause of Great Britian. We think that the difficulty admits of a sat isfactory solution by advising Amer ican citizens to travel on American vessels. Unwillingly the president shelters British cowardice, which tries to make British ships immune tot German attacks by taking Ameri gerous as well. The nation desired that its rightful demands should .be laid before the German government, but it did not anticipate that the president would go as far beyond the plainly and soundly rightful scope of those demands as to invite a rebuff. Springfield Republican. The government's position in this case is the country's position. It is not extreme, yet it covers the ground. Buffalo Courier. Right-minded men of every party will approve its tone and tenor. The clearness, the definiteness with which this presentation is made can satis fy the most rigid Americanism that views large affairs sanely.

' President Wilson and becretary Bryan had been apprised imormaiiy through Count von Bernstorff, Ger man ambassador, of Dr. Dernburg's decision before the news was gener ally known in official circles. The action of Dr. Dernburg relieved the President of an embarrassing situa tion, for it is known that he strongly disapproved of Dr. Dernburg's utter ances justifying the sinking of the T ncitania . an d officials considered ex amining the statutes of the United States to determine what legal mem od might be invoked to end Dr. Dern burg's activity. It was thought best, however, first to intimate to louui Bernstorff the teeling or me Washington government in tne mat ter, and ask him to request ur. uern burg to leave. This was made un necessary by the decision of the for mer German official to leave oi uis own initiative.
