For that reason the German submarine com mander apparently was acting within his rights In destroying tho cargo, but over stepped the bounds uf international law In sinking tho steamship and setting the crew adrift In open boats. Since tho breaking up of the Ice In the White Sea made It possible for ships to enter Archangel, German submarines may have been lurking off the Orkney Islands nnd tho northwest coast of Scotland, lying In wait for vessels passing to and from Russia's only open port In the west. A number of Ilusslan and British ships, as well as several of Scandinavian reg Htry that were carrying contraband, havo been flunk In the vicinity of Kirkwall. NEW YORK, July 26 A. H.

By CARL W. ACKERMAN BERLIN. July 26. The German people are virtually unani mous In their approval of tho editorial utterances of the press In condemning the latest American note. I have learned this through extensive conversations with representative men In all walks of life since the text of the note was published here. Tho first feeling among the Germans is ono of surprise surprise that America has failed to grasp the German viewpoint and surprise at the phrasing of the American note. This feeling even overshadows the Indignation felt In some quarters oer the statement that any further submarine at tacks resulting In the loss of Americans lives will be considered ''deliberately un friendly." The German people will not sanction any abridgement of the submarine policy, however much they desire the friendship of America. In official circles tho possi bility that Americans aboard British war munitions cprrlers may again be Im periled by submarine attacks la recognized, but Is not commented on. Despite the air of finality about the latest communication from "Washington, political circles here believe that the ne gotiations are not at an end. Sentiment generally favors a reply to America, phrased In friendly manner, but reasserting the German viewpoint. In American circles the tone of the edi torials )n today's Berlin newspapers was regarded as significant. That portion of tho press which usually reflects the Gov ernment's views, Including those papers which on Saturday characterized the note as friendly, today veered to outspoken condemnation of the American attitude, COMMENT OP PRESS. The newspapers today continued to de vote a largo part of their columns to de nunciation of the stand taken by Amer ica. "There Is nu reason why we should try to discover perfume between the thorns to console ourselves in theAnierl' can note," said Theodor Wolff In the Ber liner Tageblatt. "The American Govern ment demands that Its citizens be per mitted to travel safely in war times wherever they please The American viewpoint is that if an Americaa dtlieii sit on a powder barrel, any e Ughtlnff a cigar in (be vlelnlty is guilty of KB unfriendly act "President Wilson's standpoint is un conditionally opposed to our reasonable rights.
