GERMAIPAPER BITTER IN
ITS COMMENT ON LATEST
U. S. NOTEJO ENGLAND
Amsterdam, April 7.—Commenting
on the published summary of the
American note to Great Britain the
"Cologne Gazette," Hays:
"It appears to be a note against
Germany rather thain against England
and it is so framed that England may
leave it unnoticed without having rea
son to fear auy serious steps from the
American government.
"Against Germany, however, al
though iu a veiled manner, the re
proach is made that she does not ob
serve the principles of warfare as
recognized by civilized countries. The
note in fact gives the impression of
an anti-German measure, since it af
fords England certitude that she may
continue her illegal blockade of Ger
many. It is carte blanche for the Eng
lish war of starvation.
"Thus ends the second American
protest against the sea tyranny of
England as pitiably as did the first.
America submits to every English act
of violence, while at the same time she
continues eagerly to supply our
enemies with arms and other material
and even advances them money for
these supplies.
Berlin, April 7, via London, 12.15
P. M. —The Berlin newspapers to-day
publish summaries of the American
note to Great Britain on the order in
council. With the exception of the
" Kreut Zeitung" they make no com
ment upon it. This pfper, however,
says:
"If this summary is correct, the
note means the far-reaching retreat of
America, inasmuch as it permits Great
Britain to carry out its "blockade"
measures against American ships evdn
when they carry goods which are .not
contraband but come from or go to
ports of hostile lands. In this America
surrenders the principle that every
blockade must be effective."
