NEWSPAPERS THINK THE EXCUSE TOO FLIMSY.
NOTE RETRACTS GERMANY'S FORMER PLEDGE.
INSOLENCES THAT SHOULD NOT BE ENDURED. (Received September 12. 8.15 p.m) New Yobs, September 11. American newspapers severely comment, on the evasiveness and contemptuousness of the German explanation, and regard it as purposely mysterious. The morning newspapers are unanimous that Germany's excuse for the sinking of the Arabic is too flimsy for acceptance, •*
The World declares: "-This is another sinister symptom of-German insincerity. The Note retracts Count Bernstorff's pledge, and gives it the status of a scrap of paper, Count Bernstorff's pledge is the diplomacy of a shyster lawyer." j-, . . .ti.4 . .-.- U ; \^ The Tribune says: "We must put an end to the murder of our citizens on the high seas." , .. .-'.,<• H:
The Philadelphia Press says: "Germany's suggestions that the Arabic case should be submitted to arbitration, and the acceptance of the commander's excuse are insolences no self-respecting Government should endure." ' .'. - - -.
