Except In this one particular, the Germans have failed to prove equal to the task of appeasing any of the neutral nations Involved In the war controversies, and in tho earlier stages of tho exchange of notes with the United States, tho same blundering blunder-ing was committed until tho American Ameri-can people had reached tho decision that the Germans woro afflicted with a tremendous conceit and were "resolved "re-solved to lord It over the rest of the world.
