They only hoped we would be as good as our word would regard another submarine attack on a ship carrying Americans as an unfriendly act and would send Bernstorff home. Yet the Arabic and now the Hesperian have had no effect in action. Bernstorff's personal note to Lansing , even as far as it goes, does not bind his Government.
Consequently, they are laughing at Uncle Sam here it comes near to being ridicule, in fact, for seeming to jump at Bernstorff's unfrank assurances. And, as I have telegraphed the President, English opinion is well, it is very nearly disrespectful. I hardly pick up a paper that does not have a sarcastic paragraph or cartoon.
The American Ambassador in London regarded Bernstorff's dismissal much more seriously. It justified the interpretations of events which he had been sending to Mr. Wilson, Colonel House, and others for nearly three years. "All that water," as he now wrote, "has flowed over the dam."
