AMERICA AND GERMANY.
NEAR THE BREAKING POINT ULTIMATUM ANTICIPATED. Washington, July 19. In consequence of the attempted torpedoing of the Pacific Steam Navigation Company's liner Orduna, while on the voyage from Britain to America with many Americans aboard, it is believed that President Wilson will couch his next Note to Germany in the form of an ultimatum. This will not imply a declaration of war, but will involve the breaking off of diplomatic relations. OPINION IN NEW YORK. TIME FOR PARLEYING PAST. New York, July 19. It is expected that President Wilson's reply to the German Note to-morrow will be sharp and to the point. The New York Tribune says that America will not tolerate more Gearman evasion; the time for parleying is past. The New York Times says that another attack will force America to seek redress. Finally the newspapers agree that the attempt on the Orduna was a gross, premeditated violation of American rights. They do not doubt that if it had been successful, America would be faced with the most menacing and critical situation in her history.
