THE PRESS 1M REVOLT. New York, May 13. The press is in revolt at the expressions of German sympathy, coupled as they are with regrets that America felt more inclined to trust England’s promise than attend to German warnings. The New York World says:—“This adds insult to injury. The relations of Germany and America are strained to breaking point. Most of us ardently and sincerely desire that the breaking point will not be reached; but the issue rests with the Germans. It is for the German Government to say whether it desires peace or war. If it desires peace, there must be no more Lusitania massacres and Gulf Light incidents.” The Times says the tension grows, but no sober-minded person will urge Tasty action. MISUNDERSTOOD! Washintgon, May 13. The American Note contains a suggestion that the German submarine commanders probably misunderstood instructions regarding the sinking of she Lusitania.
