"Never in the exchange of communications communica-tions with the government at Washington," Washing-ton," says La Libert e, "has Wilhelm-stiasse Wilhelm-stiasse shown such celerity. In the per'.od of the torpedoing of the Lusitania Germany Ger-many allowed entire months to pass without with-out communicating to Mr. Wilson explanations expla-nations embarrassing and belated. The German note is silent on the essential essen-tial point; it evades that entirely. Our enemy declines to unmask her batteries. The trap is more evident than ever, but the allies will not be caught.' |
