Continued. From Page One.
Germany has suffered an unprecedented diplomatic defeat. It will be interesting to see how the German government explains to the public that it has consented radically to modify submarine warfare without obtaining the slightest compensation in exchange.
One of the most important points to be noted in regard to American reply in the opinion of the Petit Parisien, is that it ignores the allusion in the German note to the chancellor's two declarations in the reichstag in regard to peace negotiations. This paper says: "If Emperor William desired to catch President Wilson in a trip the emperor is caught in his own toils. He has met his master. There remains nothing for him to do except either to accept the American note at the risk of loosing the fury of the German governmental parties or to take upon himself the initiative in bringing about a rupture Which would entail serious consequences for Germany."
