What Our Representatives and Senators Say About the Note.

Washington, May s.—Senator Kem said w’hen asked for an opinion on the German note: “Now is a good time not to express an opinion.” Senator Taggart declined to comment on the German reply, -but ne believes there will be no break. Representative Barnhart was the only Indiana democratic member of the house who w’ould express an opinion: “Germany's reply seems to me fair. I think President Wilson now has a make a big hit by telling England to come through.” Representative Wood (Republican) of Indiana said: “The German note is what everybody expected. It was not expected that it would comply with the president’s demands and it doesn’t. The point in the note about the United States failing to bring England to time for violations of international aw and the rights of neutrals is well taken. Our government certainly has been lax along that line.”
