THE THREAT IN GERMANY'S NOTE
IS IT LIKELY TO SUCCEED?
(Received February 14, 9 a.m.)
LONDON, 13th February. The Daily Telegraph's New York correspondent says it is understood"the Entente will not accept America's proposals for the disarming of merchantmen. Pro-Germans loudly assert that the only alternative is to warn Americans not to travel on armed vessels, and to compel such vessels to leave American ports within twenty-four hours after arrival. The correspondent doubts if the threat contained in Germany's latest Note is likely to succeed.
The Morning Post's Washington correspondent takes a moro serious view of the Note, which,.he says, may cause serious friction. Vessels of the American lines, on which most Americans now travel, will not carry munitions, and Germany will have no interest to sink them. She will devote her energies to sinlring the Entente's vessels, feeling sure that America will not make serious trouble if peoplo of the belligerent nations are murdered on belligerents' merchantmen.
