It does not yield n ainafe point in the con troversy between the two nations, and yet it induces in no threats. It says with becoming dignity and self-re straint thnt a repetition of the "Lusi tania" allair will tie considered "an unfriendly net.” This, in diplomatic parlance, means not necessarily a severance of relations between the two countries, but commits the United States to a course which its self-respect and its duty to its citizens make im_ perative. The whole course of Germany in this matter has been disingenuous and insin cere. We have tried to pul the matters in controversy between the two countries in the light of justice and the rights of Americans. Our Government has made no threats and put forth no unreason able demands. Germany has. mot these eH"ortB for amity arid good will between herself and the United States with evasions and special ploudings, showing no inclination to deal in an open and honest way with the questions that have heen raised. Again and again we are told that Germany cannot be ex pected to abandon its under-sea warfare against England and the Allies. We have never insisted that she should do so, but we have insisted that in carry ing on this mode of fighting her foes she must not disregard the rightH of this country, and murder helpless women und children in cold blood in her retaliatory efforts against Knglund. The note is not nn ultimatum, hut in unmistakable terms it puts the question to Germany as whether she wishes to preserve friendly relations with this country. What the answer to thiB question will he, no ona can well fore east. Germany claims that she is lighting for her very life, and asserts that she has a right to do anything she can do to save herself from utter ruin. With this view dominant in tho Gorman mind und the German policy, we can hardly hope that she will hesitate to destroy English ships, even when she knows there are Americans on board, and even American vessels when she believes that the exigencies of war de mand such a course. Germany does not wish war with this country, but we may roHl assured that she will not hesitate to po to the very limit, even to wi.r itself, in her des peration. She is more intent on carry ing on the war with the Allies than she is on keeping peace witli America, and what she does in future will depend on whst she believes she ought to do in self defense, and not with reference to uny good will she has toward America. SOME THINGS IN GEORGIA. We nro frequently told these days that Americans ought to see America first. This is pretty good advice at nny time, and especially at this time, when German submarines make going abroad a bit dangerous and the lighting armies occupy a good deal of the historic ground of Europe. To Georgians it can ho said with good reason, "See Georgia first." There is much to see in Georgia, and much, which if it was across the ocean, would he very attractive indeed to American tourists, and even to Georgians them selves. For instance, if one is in search of the beautiful in nature he need not go beyond the limits of our State to find it. For example, if there is anything more beautiful than Nacoochee Valley, in White county, one would have to cross the ocean or the continent to see it. Here are mountains kissed by the early light of the morning and the fad ing light of the evening, over which the cloud-shadows chase each other and around whose summits the storm gath ers, while the valley below is bathed in sunlight. And sometimes the clouds descend to the foot of the mountains, and, shutting it from view, leave a pile of craggy rocks and trees suspended apparen ly in mid-air. If one is seeking the grand in nature Tatlalah Falls, even since its waters have been largely diverted from their original channel, is still what its name ii said to mean—"Terrible.” Here a great mountain is riven asunder and a small river pours into its very depths, falling in successive rapids nearly a thousand feet in the space of half a mile. Toccoa is higher than Niagara, and the little stream that drops over its precipice of 182 feet is dashed into spray as it reaches the bottom, after spreading itself out like a bridal veil over the rocky face of the chasm into which it makes its heedless plunge. If one wishes for the historic he can find it in the islands and inlets of the seaboard of our Stato—in romantic St. Simon's island, in Cumberland island, (with "Dungeness." the home of Gen. Nathaniel Greene,) and in countless lo calities here and there along the ocean and along the rivers. Let Georgians sep Georgia first. Congressman Adamson, of the Fourth district, has gone on the lecture plat form. Can it be that he aspires to a cabinet portfolio! — Savannah Press.
