LATE WAR NEWS.

TIIE AMERICAN NOTE. GLIMMERINGS OF COMMON SENSE. AROUSED IN GERMANY. RY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—COPYRIGHT. (Received Juno IS, 1.45 p.m.) AMSTERDAM, Juno 17. Tho American Noio has created a deep impression in Germany. The Cologne Gazette has abandoned its truculent tone and admits it would bo imbecile for Germany to desire another enemy, nevertheless the torpedoing of merchant shipping cannot cease until Britain relinquishes her economic blockade. The Gazette falls foul of tho l.okal Anzcigor, which docs not sharo, tho belief that the British blockade is vile, and points out that Germany would ho very glad to employ similar tactics against Britain. Tho Kruiiz Zeitung is similarly indignant a7* tho Lokal Anzeigoi’s candid admissions and says; '‘There must ho no weakening of tho weapon of submarine warfare, which is tho foundation of all negotiations.” Tho American question has given rise to a bitier newspaper controversy, some suggesting that Herr vou Jago ho replaced by an Imperial Board to conduct tho foreign policy, while others desire to recall Prince von Bulow to power.
