HE President of the United States, with the counsel of his Cab- inet, will weigh the German reply and decide whether it docs or does not adequately meet this Government's demands. When his decision is announced the country will loyally stand by it. Meanwhile such expression of opinion as the public permits itself will be tempered, we hope, with the spirit of Americanism which puts the oneness of the nation above all else whenever it is called upon to face the world. The German Imperial Government has chosen to do with little grace what it could have done in a noble way. Instead of yielding vith frankness and trust it has yielded with cavilling and caution. If Germany had climbed to a higher plane of diplomacy, if she had shown herself big enough to give without reserve, if she had laid her case before this nation’s honor and left jt there, she could, as The Evening World pointed out, have eurprised ci respect for her. Tt is apparently not in German statesmanship to rise that high. Nevertheless, boring through the complaining portions of the note, putting aside defiant words and ill-advised reservations—meant, no doubt, to appease the German public—we get down to a plain, con- crete surrender: The German Government notifies the Government of the United States that German naval forces have received the fol- lowing order: In accordance with the general principles of visit and search and the destruction of merchant vessels recog- nized by international law, such vessels, both within and with- out the area declared a naval war zone, shall not be sunk with- out warning and without saving human lives unless the ship attempt to escape or offer resistance, The pledge is hedged about with hopes and half conditions, Tt is imbedded in a mass of plaints and protests, But, for the first time, there it is.

ETURNING from a little visiting tour among the Presidents of Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chili, Peru, Panama, Cuba and| * Hayti, Secretary McAdoo reports that he noted everywhere “a complete absence of that suspicion and distrust of the United States which has until recently existed to a greater or less degree in some, at least, of the South American countries.” This is pleasant news—of which Uncle Sam gets none too much these days. Despite memories of the Panama steal, it would seem thet his ecrupulous attitude toward Mexico and his frank and cordial | dealings with the a BC republics ought by this time to have dispelled the old fear that he covets the whole dual continent. A few years hence, when the United States flag is a familiar sight {n South American harbors and when New Yorkers can drop into one of their own railway terminals and board a train marked Buenos ‘Ayres—only 2,900 miles of international railway remain to be built— @here will be many a laugh at earlier days when United States citizens were dreaded ag potential conquerors. ————_~42—______ Corralling the deer on Shelter Island turns out to be as exciting as skooting them, besides being a thousand times more sensible. —_———_ +42 - POLICE PREPAREDNESS.

They know what would happen so far as they are concerned, “If 500,000 persons in New York City,” says Police Commissioner Woods, “should, through aome sudden disaster, be rendered homeless: if transportation between Manhattan and Brooklyn should suddenly cease, or if the telephone system of the city should be made useless, the Police Department has plans whereby these untoward circum- etances and many others of similar nature would be handled with care and calm, so that chaos would give way to order.” Any large city is bound to believe in preparedness of this kind 3 | stand each other.
