"Had President Wilson, before proceeding

REBUKES WITH DIGNITY,
FRENCH EDITOR'S OPINION
PAIIIS, May 10. The American reply
to the German note on submnrino war
faro Is given marked promtnenco In nil
tho French papers, tho editorials nnd
headlines treating It ns "a dignified nnd
dcclslvo rebuke," which accepts nil Ger
many offers nnd declines to renew tho
blockndo lssuo with Great Britain.
The Journal des Debuts, however. In
somewhat critical on the "prolonged note
writing." "Tho language of tho 'American note,"
says tho Temps, "is as luminous ns tho
German noto was obscuro. Borlln sought
equivocation. Washington answers with
precision. Tha United States limits Itself
to saying! Thou shnlt not kill.' Tho blow
Is straight, direct, brutal.
"No ono will bo surprised who under
stands tho sudden awakening of tho
American policy. Patient research Is al
ways tho first American net, but whon
bad faith becomes apparent a brfof and
peremptory nfTlrmatlon follows.
"Whatovor tho future of acrman-Amer-lcnn
relations may be, tho response dry
to tho point of contempt, now has an Im
portant moral effect. It tightens tho clrclo
of reprobation closing around Germany.
It adds nnothor link to tha chain of
humiliation weighing upon her. It pro
claims that tho attltudo of tho German
Umplro makes Imposslblo all contact be
tween hor and civilized people. It adds
another new' pa go to the Judicial record
of Pan-Germanism."

BERLIN ANZEIGER CALLS
WILSON NOTE ACCEPTABLE
By CARL W. AClfERMAN
BERLIN May 10. President Wilson's brlof reply, accepting Ger
many's submarine concessions, but rejecting tho "condition" with refcrenco
to England, will prove aceeptablo to Germany, tho Loknl Anzeiger
stated today.
Tho newspaper took the view that President Wilson laid too much
atress on tho alleged condition attached to tho German, concessions nfid
declared that in reality there was no condition at all. Germany merely
reserving the right to change hor mind if tho United States did not suc
ceed in its negotiations with England.
"If ndvance reports wo havo- received aro true," said tho Lokal
Anzeiger, "President Wilson's answer is what was expected.
"ThoNGcrman note only, expressed tho idea that Germany did not
doubt that after settling the submarine dispute America would induce
England to preserve international lawi Germany merely reserved free
dom of decision in tho event that America failed.
"Tho result is that even tho President's reply docs not change this.
Germany is willing to wait nnd seo how President Wilson, who always
maintains his neutrality, will address England. His reply to the German
note permits tho conclusion that ho intends to communicate with England."
American reply makes tho German docu
ment say 'yes,' when It said 'no,' nnd
adds;
"Each side seeki to throw upon the
other responsibility for tho rupture which
Is almost Inevitable. Many will doubtless
applaud President Wilson's nnswor. For
our part, wo cannot help flnd'ng rather
antiquated, obsolete nnd contrary to tho
character of tho Government of tho Unltod
States thoso exercises ot diplomatic
logomachy. During 21 month3 crimes
havo been going on. Floods of ink do not
stop floods of blood."
UliTIMATUM NO. 2, REPLY
CHARACTERIZED IN ROME
ROMD, May 10. "President Wilson's
reply Is ultimatum No. 2," says tho Glor
nalo d'ltallan. Tho proud, noble AMor
lcnn answer upsets tho Insidious, tempor
izing German tactics. If scrupulous ob
sorvanco of tho German promises Is Inch
ing President Wilson will bo obliged to
havo recourse to a rupture. Tho tono of
tho noto admits no doubts. It Is a threat
ening ultimatum ngnlnst any sophistry."
Tho Trlbuna says: "Tho decision of
President Wilson Is justified and logical,
ntneo Germany gave preclso satisfaction
In tho matter of ono of tho horns ot tho
Wllsonlan dilemma, nhllo that part of
tho noto regarding Great Britain evidently
nlms to satisfy tho requirements of Ger
many's Iriternnl policy."

RIO JANEIRO. May 10. Tho latest
comments of tho Brazilian newspapers re

Gormnry nnd the United States Indicate
that Brazilian opinion Is Impatient with
tho tcmporlzatlons.
O Palz, acknowledging tho moral ele
vation of President Wilson, cxprcssoi tho
opinion that Germany has confidence In
his "excessive prudence." This paper has
started a campalgli for tho organization
of a leaguo of neutrals under tho protec
tion of the United States,
"If President Wilson," It Bays, "had
prcsonted nn ultimatum In tho nnmo of
nil noiltrals, Germany would have taken
him more seriously. Germany pcrcotved
dearly tho hesitations on the part of
President Wilson and replied by a sort of
counter-ultimatum As Americans wo
cannot congratulate ourselves on tho re
sult of tho tardy and tndcclslvo step of
tho most powerful nation on tho continent."

f( From the Maker It
If a dealer claims he is selling a $600 piano value for
$400, does he really know, as a piano comprises over
3600 pieces of complicated parts? For instance, no mat
ter how honest, capable or competent an accountant may
be, you would hardly appoint him judge of the mechanical
construction of, say, a grandfather's clock. A brick
layer or stonemason N may seem crude when compared
with the medical or legal profession, but if you were seek
ing information as to the erection of a brick or stone struc
ture you would consider their judgment far superior.
Isn't a weaver a better judge of woven materials than the
importer or dealer whose knowledge to a great extent is
guesswork? So, after all, is it not specializing on one
thing that makes us perfect?
