PRESS CONTINUES COMMENT
ON TRE GERMAN ATTITUDE
Comment on the issue with Germany
continues, “Law, right, justice, hu
manity cannot be compromised,” says
the New York Evening Post. "Hut in
reasserting these fundamentals the
President may yet hope that Germany
will come to a better mind.”
“It is as important to us as it is to
the allies,” says the Louisville
Courier-Journal,” that the combine of
the two Kaisers shall be put out of
business and completely crushed.”
“There is,” says the Providence
Journal, “a language which even the
densest Teutonic diplomat can under
stand.”
“We cannot in honor," says the New
Tork World, “turn over to Germany
the safeguarding of American ships
under the Stars and Stripes; that is
our task. We cannot haggle for
special favors to our citizens on belli
gerent merchant vessels: we must as
sert their lawful rights not only on
belligerent ships but In all proper
places and activities.” It, however,
adds: —
“Recause we are right we can be
patient. Because we are strong we
enn risk misconception of our attitude.
We should be careful of the suscepti
bilities of other nations, and make all
due allowance for the natural feelings
of proud peoples at war.
“But it should be made very clear
that neither to Great Britain nor to
Germany can we concede any hnrd
won right that has come to us from a
more merciful past. Tn this issue there
is no ‘half- way.’ ”
THE SOUTH AND COTTON.
Somewhat different In tone is the
views of the Atlanta Constitution. It
thinks that a peaceful solution for the
German problem will “readily' be
found,” hut sees in the attitude of
England toward neutral commerce “a
far more serious situation,” adding: —
“Unfortunately no apparent progress
is being made in reaching an under
standing with the British government,
which continues its Interference with
our trade on the seas, bound for neu
tral European ports, seizing even our
non-contraband cotton cargoes, and
buying them in, after tong parleying, at
about half the price they would bring
if wre had the open world mai kets
which legally belong to us.
“There is no sort of Justification for
this interference with American com
merce.
"As between the German and Eng
lish situations, the latter Is now evi
dently the more serious, and the more
delicate of the two.”
Not so thinks the Montgomery, Ala.,
Advertiser: —
"Should we not force England to re
cognize the rights of our shipping un
der International law? We should,
and that in good time. American dol
lars are Involved In our controversy
with England: the rights of American
citizens and the lives of American cit
izens are involved in our controversy
with Germany. We may be a mater
ialistic nation, but we have not yet
put. money above humanity in any
such way as that.”
DEBATING THE NEXT STEP.
As to the "next step” time has not
brought much clearer vision to our
editorial statesmen. There seems to
be an agreement that the situation has
not reached a stage of crisis warrant
ing an extra session of Congress.
“The next American note might
properly,” the New York World sug
gests, “contain an inquiry in business
like terms as to the German attitude
toward treaties—not treaties with its
near neighbors, but treaties with an
old friends on this side of the Atlantic
for whom it professes a high but ra
ther eccentric regard.”
The New York Tribune, on the other
hand, would recall Ambassador Gerard
"since further negotiations seem im
possible.” This is not a widely preva
lent view, since it would almost eer
( tainly bring war, and, as the Hartford
|Courant points out: —
“The sentiment of this country is
very strongly against war; its horrors
are too evident. It is bad enough to
have hell only 3000 miles away and
visible; we don’t want to bring it
home.”
Perhaps the Hartford Post, in the
form of a question, submits the al
ternative, which is apparently gain
ing in public favor: —
"Suppose Germany actually com
plies with our demands without mak
ing any formal proclamation of such
conformity—will not that be sufficient
to appease the Americans who are
now applying all sorts of offensive and
insulting epithets to the German na
tion and its government?”
There is. you’ll remember, an old
saying which runs to the effect that a
German must he judged rather by
what he does than by the bluntness of
his speech.
GERMAN-AMERICAN PRESS
OPINION.
The New Yorker Staatz-Zeitung,
perhaps the foremost organ of hyphe
nated thinking we have, views in the
German note “a sincere effort to meet
the questions involved and solve them
in an amicable manner. It adds:
"The principle of the German atti
tude is sound. The matter of detailed
arrangement is of secondary impor
tance and will readily work Itself out.”
Other pro-German comments run: —
"The German answer gives the Unit
ed States everything that can be
asked: Safety for freight steamers If
they are in legitimate commerce and
security for American travelers on
American or neutral ships or on ships
which sail through the war zone under
the American flag. More to demand
Washington has no right.—Cincinnati
brie Presse.
"The only difference of opinion arises
in regard to the question whether
ships carrying ammunition are to be
classed as warships or mercantile ves
sels. Germany holds the former view,
and we think that common sense sup
ports her standpoint—-Cincinnati Volk
sblatt.
“No one cognizant with the real
state of affairs could for a moment im
agine that Germany would give up her
submarine warfare as long as Eng
land’s tactics are contrary to all in
ternational law's and usages.—Colo
rado Herald.
“Concerning the American demand of
safety for American ships and lives
the German answer reiterates assur
ances that American ships engaged in
legitimate trade will not lie interfered
with nor the lives of Americans upon
neutral ships he endangered. To de
mand more than that would be nn in
justice toward Germany.—Detroit
Abendpost.
“A masterpiece of wise, obliging and
friendly* diplomacy.—Milwaukee Oor
mania-Herald.”
A COMMENT ON THE FOREGOING.
“Many of these German editors or
their fathers left Germany for this
free country to escape militarism.
Some of them, or their fathers, came
here,” the New York Herald points
out, "to escape military service. But
now they are taking exactly the posi
tion, when it comes to a question of
serving the country of their adoption,
that they might be expected to take
if they were discussing an issue be
tween Germany and England. All for
Germany, nothing for t ho United
States. It is a curious spectacle.”—•
Boston Record.
QUEER HATS.
In Russia the maiden who is free
may dress her locks as she wishes,
but not so the wife. Sho must hide
her hair.
As a recompense for this sacrifice
she dons a hood which may well be
called weird. In shape it is not un
like a bishop's mitre, and it is adorned
as the fancy or the purse of the
wearer dictates. Gold, silver and
even preciouss stones have been used
in decorating this kokosohink, ns it Is
called.
In certain parts of Spain a hood
similar to the Russian stylo is worn.
Particularly is this popular with the
dancers among the Toledo peasantry,
although it must be very hot and un
comfortable.
The Dutch maiden of Amsterdam
pins her faith—and her head—to a
hood which resembeles in shape an in
verted flower pot. It may not be the
style most suited to her round, placid
face, but she would not change It for
the latest thing in Parisian millinery.
Farther north, in Norway, a maiden
on her bridal day puts on 'her head
a traditional structure which can best
be likened to a model of a medieval
castle.
ORDER MINING EDITIONS
The forthcoming number of the Nome
Nugget Mining Edition is progressing
nicely. It will undoubtedly be more
interesting than any previous editions
and will contain many subjects other
than mining—in fact a magazine de
picting the entire peninsula. An in
creased edition will be published this
year and there will probably be enough
for all, but to insure receiving your
copies it would be best to send in your
order at once, 50c per copy, or ?5.00 a
dozen. Postage 6 cents per copy.
Chickens 90c per pounj; also some
nice fryers. Eggs 75c per dozen. Geo.
