DEMANDS ARE JUSTIFIED Germany "Let Down Easy" While Woe Follows in Foot steps of Her Ally. London. Dec 13, 4 a. m Contrast ing the tone of the note sent to tho Austrian government by tho United States with the noto sent to Germany after the Lusitanla disaster, the Daily Express concludes that "tho note would have been more Impressive if it had been addressed to the power capable of injuring tho United States instead of to its ally from which the United States has nothing to fear." Continuing, the Express says: "It was a monstrous and cruel act, but not a whit more criminal than tho sinking of the Lusitanla, The note sent to Vienna, however, is di rect and almost bereft of compli ments. Germany may sin with prac tical impunity, but woo betide Austria If she follows in her friond's foot steps." Tho Daily Chronicle, in an editorial, saj's: "Both President Wilson's descrip tion of the outrage and his demands are perfectly justified, but would not both have boon evon more justified in the Lusitania caso? However, we may congratulate the president on his . novel vigor. His demand for the pun ishment of the captain of the subma rine may cause a seml-huraorous com plication behind tho scenes should it turn out that he was a Gorman offi cer commanding a German submarine." WAR'S EFFECT ON TRANSPORTATION National Foreign Trade Coun cil Foresees Break in Rates When Conflict Ends. MUST OFFSET LOSS World's Decreased Million' Tons by Shipping Already Sunk by Belligerents. New York, Dec 13. The war's effect-on sea transportation and the "prospects of a break in irelght rates after the war is ended, are summar ized In a statement issued today by the National Foreign Trade Council, composed of representatives of large manufacturing commercial Interests. James A. Farrell. president of the United States Steel corporations Is chairman of the council. "The main question," says the state ment. "Is how soon the break in the freight market will take placo follow ing the cessation of hostilities. Some shipping people hold that the break will be sharp and sudden, others that tho very slight additions through re construction now being made to the tonnage of the world will tend to ward off any tendency to a sudden decline when tho war is concluded. "It is said in support of the latter contention that though some fivo mil lion tons of German and Austrian shipping now immobilized will be re leased, tho shipping already sunk will decrease tho world's fleets by a mil lion tons, while the 2,000,000 tons of new shipping at present in construc tion throughout the world Is not ex pected at once to offset the losses duo to the war. Huge Movement of Materials. "For several years to come the wast age due to the great war may cause a huge movement of raw materials and foodstuffs toward Europe which will provide permanent employment for a very largo share of the world's merchant marine. When conditions have readjusted themselves and trade has resumed Its customary routine, floating space will not be in such de mand and tho slump-. In maritime transportation earnings which usually follows a war probably will be in evi dence again."
