America

MISCELLANEOUS. United Pribi Asiooiatiow. London, May 15. The New \ T ork World says that £h«j American public realise that they cannot without dishonor remain neutrol between civilisation and its enemios. President Wilson has so framed the Note that r Germany must declare, tierself and must denounce Count Bernstorff's threat 'against the Lusitania or admit that she wilfully employs the foullest weapons. New York, May 15. .The New York Herald describes President Wilson's Note as the whip of scorpions. The most significant words are a plain declaration that an expression of regret and the offer of reparation will not satisfy if submarine warfare on commerce is to continue. Ger'many must squarely back down and cease murdering neutrals. If another 'American ship is torpedoed in the Atlantic the fleet must start for the war zone. New York, May 10. Herr Dernburg is returning to Germany if Britain and France promise not to detain him on the high seas. The New York Herald says that President Wilson has overcome the influence of the peace-at-any-price members of the Cabinet. The Sun says the Note is resolute in its assertion for the freedom of the seas, and recalls Germany's contention for that liberty. The paper adds that the President, having spoken firmly, the country is supporting him as firmly, and awaits with passion Germany's reply. Washihtgon, May 15. Herr Dernburg is arranging to leave the Ur-ited States immediately, owing to the Government's objection to his (presence since his speech justifying the I sinking of the Lusitania.
