America

AT BREAKING POINT. AMERICAN PRESS IX REVOLT. Received .May 14, 12.,> a.m. New York, May 13. Alio press is in revolt at the expressions of German sympathy, coupled as they are with regrets that America felt more inclined to triust England's promise than attend to German warnings. The New York fiVorld says: "This adds insult to injury. The relations of Germany and America are strained to ■breaking point. Most of us ardently and sincerely desire that the rbcaking point win not be reached; but the issue rests with .the Germans. It. is for tue German Government to say whether it desires peace or war. If it desires peace, there mus t be no more Lnsitania massacres and Gulf Light incidents. The Times says the tension grows, but no sober-minded person will urge hastv action.

Washington, May 13. The American Note contains a suggestion that the <"!i>nnan submarine commanders probably misunderstood instructions regarding the sinking of the Lusitania. SUBMARINE WARFARE MUST STOP. AMERICAN NOTE TO GERMANY. New York, ilavi 12. Bankers in Wall Street .opine that Germany is trying .to force America into the war, as otherwise she will have ten year's start in the race for the world's trade, the .European nations being too exhausted to compete. German officers recently expressed a ."belief that the American Navy would make linle difference and that she cannot .equip an army. Washington,' Alav 1*2." According to the best authority President Wilson decided to .address a stern Note to Germany demanding a discontinuance of the submarine warfare on passenger steamers. The demand is couched in language appealing to the humanity of the whole world. If the request is refused Mr. Gerard will be recalled and Count Bernstorfi will receive his passports. Whether afterwards war will ensue depends on 'Germany's decision.

Germany ,'jas notified the United States that submarine commanders have, been instructed not to liarm neutral vessels unless engaged in hostile acts, and Germany will pay for damage done to fcuch vessels in the war zone. Neutral vessels carrying contraband will be dealt with according to the rules of naval war--fare.

Germany justifies the submarine on the ground that Britain is threatening to starve the civilians of Germany. New York, May 12.

Mr. Roosevelt, in an article in a magazine, entitled "Murder on the high sscsis," says that America is being neutral as Pontius Pilate was neutral. President Wilson's absurd exaltation of peace over righteousness has brought the United States into contempt before tiie whole civilised world. The Germans were worse than the liarhary pirates, and ought to he suppressed as pirates by all nations. The effects of hideous wrong-doing in Belgium, without American protest, exposed the United States, to me deepest scorn and contempt. Received .May 1:1, 4.30 p.m. Washington. -May 12.

The X'ote to Germany is in an emphatic tone, and asks Germany to account for the loss of American lives in the.Lusitania and the violating of American rights in the war zone. The Xote asks for a guarantee again-t a repetition of thi' act. . It contains a plain intimation that the United States is prepared to meet any eventuality arising tront noncompliance.
