NEW YORK T1ME3!
If wisdom nnd prudence have not
altogether fled from the minds of Ger
many's ruling statesmen, the Imperial
Government will mnko such reply to
our noto now Just laid boforo them ns
will meet tlio earnest closing adjura
tion of President Wilson's ntldress to
Congress, In which iho expressed tno
, hope, shared by all feobcr-mliidccl men,
that Oerniany "may recognize the Jus
tico of our demands and meet them In
the spirit In which they nro made.
Our patience has been tried far beyond
the point where- the forhcaranco of
other nations would have ceasrd Will
tho Imperial Government have tho great
wisdom, tho wlso courage to let thesB
convincing documents bo published
, fully and freely by the press, to hau
them spread broadcast throughout tho
empire, whero they may como to tho
understanding of tho people? Wo can
not doubt tho fruit of such a snowing.
NEW YORK SUN:
1 - Wo must regard" It (tho address) ns
in part a repetition of tho true and now
too familiar Indictment of n. civilized
nation for Illegal prnctlccs, ntul In a
part a restatement of tho President's
vjows concerning his responsibility, not
only for tho protection of American
tights, but nlso for the goncril Intcrcata
of humanity. Tho President webt to
Congiess asking neither ndvtco nor
expression of opinion, nor, to gain leg
islative action. Tho publi
cation this morning -nrould liavo nimlo
BUpcrlluotls tho delUcry ot tho address
to the session of Congress; unless, In
deed, tho President felt that his per
sonal nppenranc'o at tho Capitol
rendered the war-declaring department
of our Go eminent In somo Bcnso a
party to fncts nlrendy accomplished by
tho ExecutUo'H Independent action.
NEW YORK HERALD:
This Is no time for division nny
whero In tho United States. Tho coun
try Is on the brink of war. Tho Presi
dent Is right.
NEW YORK EVENING POST:
It cannot bo Said that the Adminis
tration has been headlong. Only an ac
cumulation of grievances only a re
pented violation of pledges mado to It
by tho German Go eminent has at Hst
strained tho President's patience to tho
breaking point. Ho has at last found
himself at tho point whero further diplo
matic parleying seems to him fruitless
nnd whero ho must hao A definite nnd
' binding nnswer rom tho German au
thorities. "NEW YORK, GLOBE:
It Is for Gcimany to dccldo whether
or not her baibaroU3 conduct Is to con-
" tinuc conduct that H suborslvo of
American rights and In contracntlon of
all laws ot nations nnd of humanity.
This country, In Justlco to Itself and
"Its traditions, cin no longer bo ac
complice after tho fact by treating the
pcrpeti.Uor of crlmo as n. friend.
NEW YOUK TIUBUNE-
If thero Is a dclmlto result at last
whether diplomatic relations are broken
off or intercourse Is continued on tho
bnsls of German dlwuounl of tho policy
of murdor on tho high seas wo shall
owe nothing to tlio long orgy of words
which has passed In Washington for
tho lust 1-t months as modern Ameri
ca can diplomacy. Our Issue wlttfe Gei-
many can bo settled now oniv iy a uia
play of determination backed by forco.
5WEW YORK WOULD:
Tho Inltod States Go eminent Is not
seeking war with Germany. Tho Presi
dent Is not socking war. There can bo
no war unless Germany commits an
overt net of war, nnd If that Is what
Berlin Is determined upon, nothing that
tho United States can do wilt prevent
It, except at u price In sliaiho and sub
mission that no great nation will over
pay; for If It paa It has ceased to
bo a great nation and has forfeited Its
rank. '
NEW YORK EVENING MAIL:
It (s a simnlo question that confronts
the men at Washington. .Tho question
Is whethei neutral America Is going to
wai'to forco one belligerent to lle up to
tho very letter of International law,
while tho other is to hao Its hands free
to violate the samo law as it chooses.
By our own words wo are In nn attitude
' of unnoutrallty so long ns wo acqulesco
In tho British stoppage of our food ex
ports to Germany. Congress now de
cides the question whether, without tnk
Ing any stops to remove our self
imposed stigma of unneutrallty, tho
President Is to havo a war to proont
Germany from Illegally trying to starve
England as a reprisal against Eng
land's attempt unlawfully to starve Ger
many. PHILADELPHIA RECORD:
It Is Idle to send mora notes to Ber
lin. Tho resources of diplomacy have
beqn exhausted.- Tho President can do
no more. Tho next step must bo taken
either by the German Government or
by Congress, whose constitutional pre
rogative, it Is to declare war. It
Is our duty, not only to ourselves, but to
mankind, to save what little remains
of International law, and to demand that
the rules of chlllzed warfare be re
' spected, or to cease to have diplomatic
relations with tho nation that flouts
them nnd affronts us. Germany must

PHILADELPHIA PRESS:
The controversy with Germany has

macy hnVo become exhausted nnd
Stato Department notes, however pow
erful In statement, hnvo lost their po

does not necessarily mean war, and wo
do not believe we will have war, Ger
many, houmor, seems willing to Incur
the risk of wnr with this country rnther
than give tip its Indiscriminate sinking
of unarmed merchant vessels.
hls country does not want war with

with nil the lgor nnd strength at our

decide what her future policy Is to be.
As for the United Sthtes, it hap spoken
what tho President announces to be Its
last word Germany must
squarely satisfy our demands or delib
erately spurn our official friendship. The
choice Is hers
BOSTON GLOBE:
By nil tho force of his diction Presi
dent Wilson has sought to convince
Berlin that, while we have been patient
and forbearing, wo are nevertheless
very serious. Our face has stern lines.
Our teeth are beginning to clench. We
mny quickly turn the plowsharo Into a
sword Germany should hot make the
mlstnko that we aro merely bluffing.
Slnco the Berlin Government hns acted
In defiance not only of our most earnest
protests, but nlso In deflnnco of Its own
promises, since In other words dlphv
macy has been cxhnusted, the Govern
ment of tho United States has nothing
loft to do fixcept to say that tho end
has come. We have no choice. If Ger
many docs not stop now, then Count
on Bcrnstorff will be given hla pass
ports. Thcie is nothing lse that wo
can do.
BALTLMOBE SUN:
Bewnre the nnger of tho patient man.
If wi were Ilia Herman Kaiser's most
Intimate friends, these aro the words
wo would whisper In his ear nt this mo
ment. President Wilson has Bhown an
nhnost superhuman pationcij in tho face
ot Germany's repented assaults on the
lles of American citizens. Ho has
waited nnd waited, while Germany Po
inted again and again her pledged word.
Ho has made every possible effort to
malntnln pence, even though It brought
abuse und scorn upon his own head.
BALTIMbmi AMEUICAN:
Germany hns tolntctl Its sacred en
gagements tlmo and ngaln; It j has pur
sued a policy of relentless nnd Inhuman
warfaro with Its BVmarlnes; It Is
guilty us Indicted, nnd, (Lhoreforc, noth
ing can be said In extenuation. There
remains open to tho Government of Bor
lln but tho one door of specific agree
ment to dcslKt altogether from tho uso
of submarines for attacking ships of
commerce.
But Not Much Longer A 130-Page
Tno remarkable bargain we are offering
can last only a little while longer. The con
tracts for the "Ilandy Volume" issue were

that a severance of dlplomatlo relations
would have bcert Justified long ago Fur

SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCEn:
President Wilson's decision In the
submarine controversy with Germany
hnn been long overdue. Events of the
last year have made the President's
case against "tho German Government,
Whatever disposition fate may make of
the present emergency,- the American
people will Bupport 'tho President's
action with every resource nt their com
mand. CHATTANOOGA TIMES!
The determination of tho -resident
will meet with the Instant nnd hearty
approval ot the people, nnd they win
hold themselves In readiness to do what
ever becomes necessary to do to carry
out his solemn ultimatum. It ma
probably mean a break with Germany
nnd possibly war, but whatever It may
be, tho American people, now ns In tin,
past, will accept whatever responsibility
may bo placed upon them In behnlf of
humanity.

Heretofore
at 15th & Chestnut
WHEN the Board of the
Georges Corporation an
nounced the first of this
year that the Philadelphia
store would be discontinued,
it was with the greatest re
luctance and regret, as this
branch has always been one
of the most active and popu
lar in the Georges chain.
But in jpife of an increaMed
grosw butinetM in 1916 and the
fact that we are pouitive our
value lucre unmatehable and
our cuilomere thoroughly tattM
Red, THIS STORE failed ta
show a profit. The Georges My
tern of merchandising, figuring
at it doe on the very closest of
margins cannot afford to carry
deadwood.
However, a close analysis of
every phase and angle of the
situation by Mr. George in
person during the past few
weeks, revealed the fact that
too high fixed charges, partic
ularly rental, stooil as a bar
rier for successfully conduct
ing this store.
The tried and true adage, ''A
Thrifty Landlord Cherishes a
Good Tenant," proved my salva
tion AND AFTER A SERIES
OF NEGOTIATIONS WE
HAVE FINALLY MADE NEW
ARRANGEMENTS with the
lessors of this property, which
are so advantageous that
It has been made possible
and profitable for Georges to
continue at this old corner,
which has become so popular
With over 50,000 Philadelphia
men, and maintain the nigh
Georges standard of values.
It has certainly been good
to hear the thousands of ex
pressions of regret that we
had to discontinue and to re
ceive so many inquiries is to
whether wc would open new
quarters ih Philadelphia. To
be genuinely missed is proof
of real achievement. To say
that we arc gratified is stating
it mildly. Wc are proud, and
even more delighted that we
are now able to continue at the
old stand.
In passing let us mention
