AMERICAN MINISTER RECALLED FROM GERMANY

SENSATIONAL SEQUEL TO - PIRATE. NOTE SUPER=FRIGHTFULNESS ; BEGINS .• BRITISH SHIPPING "AS USUAL" To {toss who have followed the tentative couves of President Wilson's European diplomacy in connection with German outrages upon the laws'of nations, the news to-day that 'America has severed • diplomatic relations with Germany will come as a sensation. This long-deferred break has evoked a tremendous outburst of enthusiasm in America, and its. influence amongst other neutral nations is ap- ■' parent in the news from these countries. The Germans appear to have come to' the conclusion that the best and quickest way to finish , the war is to run amuck in defiance of all rules and regulations; this is the effect of the statements by the German apologists. Apprehending trouble they are concentrating on neutral frontiers; The attitude of the Allies is calm and resolute, and admirably summed up by the French Minister of Marine ,in a speech delivered in the French Senate. The worst the enemy can now do, he says, cannot bo worse than, what he has already dono. British sailors arc prepared to go to sea as usual, despite the increased dangers of their calling, while the American sea passenger traffic is brisk. What tho world is noiv waiting for—and the officials of tho German Embassy at Washington admit this—is the crash that will follow the loss of the first American life at the hands of the minions of the policy of superfrightfulness. . - ■I ; .
