"HE THAT DRAWS THE SWORD."
GERMANY APPEALED TO FORCE MUST ABIDE BY HER APPEAL. (Received 2.15 p.m. ) LONDON, October 14. The "Times," in a leader, says: We may rest assured that the American Government is fully conscious that Germany in her present humiliation must abide by the arbitration of force to which she appealed in her presumptuous pride four years ago. The general tone of Press comment is one of scepticism regarding Germany's sincerity, and insistence on the strongest guarantees or complete surrender. The promptness of the German reply is taken to indicate fears that AustriaI Hungary is likely to follow Bulgaria's | example, and Germany desires to secure the basis of a decision permitting her to retain her hold on the Dual Empire. The French comment shows that suspicion i= intensifying. The German attitude is now generally regarded as a plea for mediation, not mercy. Dutch messages state that much excitement prevails in Germany, particularly in the large towns. The streets were crowded iwith people waiting far hours for the. Government's reply. When it was issued men and women wept hysterically.—("Times.")
