"The German government has created an official note, which commits it to nothing." says the Mntin. "We learn that the Berlin press insists on the seriousness of the situation, and that it is hoped a solution will be reached compatible with national dignity with the rights of neutrals and the principles of international law and not unfavorably to the vital interests of Germany." That is the whole program, and we are curious to see the literary production which will answer to such varied questions."
A. Litzmaurice, the foreign editor of the Pigeon, writes:
"It only remains for Germany, if she desires to avoid a rupture, to give and humiliate herself. She cannot, even if she wishes, without claiming what little prestige she still possesses in neutral countries, and without particularly admitting she is afraid of the United States. This would be worse than humiliation. It would be defeat, for which Hermans would demand a strict accountability from Berlin - Hollweg and the Kaiser himself. A rupture is inevitable."
