DEPARTMENT OP STATE
WASHINGTON. July 21. 1815
The Secretary of State to Ambassador
Gerard:
You nro Instructed to deliver textually
the following note to the Minister for
Foreign Affairs; J,
The note of tho Imperial German Gov
ernment dqtcd the 8th of July, 101S, has
received tho careful consideration of the
Government of the United States and It
regrets to bo obliged to say that It has
found It very unsatisfactory, because It
foils to meet the real differences between
the two Governments nnd Indicated no
way in which tho ncccpted principles of
law and humanity may bo applied In the
grave matter In controversy, but pro
poses, on tho contrary, arrangements for
a partial suspension of those principles
which virtually set them aside.
The Government of tho United States
notes with satisfaction that the Imperial
German Government recognizes without
reservation tho validity of tho principles
insisted on In the several communicA
tlons which this Government has ad
dressed to the Imperial German Govern
ment with regard to its announcement of
n war zone and tho uso of submarines
ngafnst merchantmen on tho high seas
the principle that tho high seas nro free,
that tho character and cargo of a mer
chantman must flint be ascertained be
fore aha can lawfully bo seized or de
stroyed, and that tho lives of noncom
batants may In no case bo put In Jeopardy
unless tho vessel resists or seeks to es
cape nftcr being summoned to submit
to examination, for a belligerent act of
retaliation Is per so an act boyond thn
law, and tho defenso of an act as re
taliatory Is an admission that it Is il
legal. BRITISH ACTIONS NOT ON TMAL.
The Government of the United Stotca
Is, however, keenly disappointed to Unci
that the Imperial German Government
regards Itself as In largo degree exempt
from tho obligation to observe theso prin
ciples, even where neutral vessels nro
concerned, by what It believes tho policy
and practice of tho Government of Great
Britain to be in tho prosent war with re
gard to neutral commerce. Tho Imperial
German Government will readily under
stand that the Government of the United
States cannot .discuss the policy of the
Government of Great Britain with regard
to neutral trade except with that Govern
ment Itself, nnd that it must regard tho
conduct of other bclllgcront governments
ns Irrelevant to any discussion with tho
Imperial German Government of what
this Government regards ns gravo nnd
unjustllable violations of tho rights of
American citizens by German naval com
manders. Illegal and Inhuman acts, however
Justltlnblo they may bo thought to be
against an enemy who is believed to have
acted in contravention of lnw nnd hu
manity, are manifestly Indefensiblo when
they deprive neutrals of their acknowl
edged rights, particularly when they vio
late tho right to life Itself. If a belliger
ent cannot rctallato against an enemy
without Injuring the lives of neutrals as
well as their property, humanity, ns well
as Justice nnd a due regard for the
dignity of neutral Powers, should dictate
that tho practlco bo discontinued. If per
sisted In, it would In such circumstances
constitute nn unpardonable offense
against the sovereignty of the neutral
notion affected. Tho Government of tho
United States Is not unmindful of tho
extraordinary conditions created by this
war or of the radical alterations of
circumstances nnd method of attack pro
duced by the uso of Instrumentalities of
naval warfare which the nations of the
world cannot havo hnd In view when tho
existing rules of international law were
formulated, and it Is ready to make every
reasonable allowance for these novel and
unexpected aspects of war at sea; but it
cannot consent to abate nny essential or
fundamental right of its people because

of a mere alteration of circumstance. The
rights of neutrals In time of war are
based upon principle, not upon expedi
ency, and the principles are Immutable.
It Is the duty and obligation of belliger
ents to find a way to adapt tho now
clrcumstnnces to them.
HUMANE COUI18E POSSIBLE.
The events of the lust two months have
clearly Indicated that It Is possible and
practicable to conduct such submarine
operations ns have characterized the ac
tivity of tho Imperial Gcrmnn navy
within the socnlled war zone In substan
tial accord with tho accepted practices
of regulated warfare. The whole world
has looked with interest and increasing
satisfaction at tho demonstration of that
possibility by German naval command
ers. It Is manifestly posolblc, therefore,
to lift the whole practice of submarine
attack above tho criticism which It has
aroused and remove the chief causes of
offense.
In view of the ndmlsslon of Illegality
made by tho Imperial Government when
It pleaded the right of retaliation and de
fense of Its acta, and In view of tho mani
fest possibility of conforming to tho
established rules of naval warfare, tho
Government of tho United Stntes cannot
believe that the Imperial Government
will longer refrain from disavowing the
wanton act of Its naval commander In
sinking tho Lusltanla, or from offering
reparation for tho American lives lost.
so far as reparation can be made for a
needless destruction of human Ufa by an
Illegal act.
'Iho Government of the United States,
while not Indifferent to the friendly
spirit in which It is made, cannot accept
tho suggestion of the Imperial German
Government that certain vessels be desig
nated nnd agreed upon which shnll be
free on the seas now Illegally proscribed.
The very agreement would by Implica
tion subject other vessels to Illegal attack
and would bo a curtailment and therefore
on abandonment of the principle for
which this Government contends and
which in times of calmer counsels every
nation would concede as of course.
FREEDOM OF SEA TO BE UPHELD.
The Government of the United States
and tho Imperial German Government
aro contending for tho same great ob
ject, have long stood together in urging
the very principles upon which the Gov
ernment of the United Stntes now so
solemnly insists. They nre both con
tending for the freedom of tho seas, The
Government of " the United States will
continue to contend for that freedom,
from whatever quarter violated, without
compromlso and at any cost. It Invites
the practical co-operation of tho Impe
rial German Government at this time
when co-operation may accomplish most
and this great common object be most
strikingly and effectively achieved.
The Imperial German Government ex
presses the hope that this object may be
in some measuro accomplished even bo-
foro tho present wnr ends. It can be.
The Government of the United States
not only feels obliged to Insist upon it,
by whomsoever violated or Ignored, in
the protection of its own citizens, but Is
nlso deeply Interested in seeing It made
practicable between the belligerents
themselves, and holds Itself ready at any
time to act as tho common friend who
may bo privileged to suggeBt a way.
In the meantime, the very value which
this Government sets upon the long nnd
unbroken friendship between the people
nnd Government of the United States
and the people and Government of the
German nation, Impels it to press very
solemnly upon tho Imperial German Gov
ernment the necessity for a scrupulous
observanco of neutral rights in this criti
cal matter. Friendship itself prompts It
to say to the Imperial Government that
repetition by the commanders of Ger
man naval vessels of acts In contraven
tion of these rights must be regarded
by the Government of the United States,
when they affect American citizens, as
deliberately unfriendly. LANSING.
DEFER SENTENCE ON SHORE
AMUSEMENT MEN UNTIL FALL
By That Time the Atlantic City Sea
son Will Be Over.
ATLANTIC CITY. July 21.-Tho 13
amusement managers, who pleaded guilty
to tho charge of keeping their places
open last Sunday, were arraigned before
the City Recorder yesterday afternoon.
After a long, fatherly talk, he told them
that they must report for sentence on
September 15. By that time tho season
for sumer amusements will be over In
Atlantic City, and It Is believed that all
the uproar over certain amusements run
ning on Sunday will have died out.
In his speech to the men, the Recorder
touched on one point of the open-Sunday
question, which is causing a lot of trou
ble here. He said;
"While the laws of the city and Btate
are against the operation of any amuse
ment device on Sunday, I am not one of
tho men who believe that one class of
amusements should bo smiled at and
others prevented from running,''
A number of the ''sentenced" men
stated that they will wait next Sunday
to see if any amusements open, and if
they do they will also open their places
aid run. The general Impression here is
that any minor Infraction of the laws
hereafter will be winked at by the au
thorities. Delaware Militia in Camp
WILMINGTON, Del.. July 2l.-Membera
of the 1st Regiment, Organised Milltlaiof
Delaware, went into camp on the State
rifle range, below New Castle, this morn
ing1, and will continue in camp for a week.

PRINCIPAL POINTS IN NOTES
EXCHANGED BY TWO NATIONS
The principal polntt advanced by the United State, in it note to
Germany and the essential argument presented by Girmany In reply, in
chronological ot'dirt are at follow t
February 10 Protetting againtt Germany' t plan of dettroying
merchant vettelt in her protcrlbed war sonet Prettdent Wilton told 'the
Government of the United Statee would be constrained to hold the German
Government to a ttrict accountability for tuch act of their naval a
thoritie and to take any ttept it might be necettary to take to tafeguard
American live' and property to secure to American citizen the full
ehjoyment of their acknowledged right on the high tea.
February 16 Germany agreed with the United Stale on the princl
pie of neutrat shipping, but cited the mltuti of the United State flag by
Dritlth merchantmen, and other matter relating to contraband of War
JLm K itwitmJ ?f,B ?.,.., mttaaimtma thai the United
States convoy her own vetttlt, and expressed the hope that the United
State "will recognise the full meaning of the eevere ttruggle which
Germany it conductihg for her very exlttence." .
May 13 'Preildent Wilton, following the tlnhing of the Lutitania
on May 7, called on Germany to "make reparation to far at reparation it
possible for injuries without meature," and informed the German Govern
ment that the United State would not "omit any Word or act necettary to
the performance of It tacred duty of maintaining the right of the
United State and it citizen."
May 30 Germany ttt up the contention that "the Lutitania had
cannon aboard which Were mounted and concealed below decht," and
admitted that "German commandert are no longer able to obterve the
cuitomary regutatlont of the prise law which they before alway fol
lowed," Germany alto declaredi "The German Government bellevet
that it wa acting in juttified telf'defente In teehlng with all the meant
of warfare at itt disposition to protect the livet of ttt soldier by de
straying ammunition intended for the enemy."
June 10 President Wilton, In a ttcond Lutitania note, denied Ger
many't allegations that the Lutitania Wat armed, and "once more with
solemn emphasis" warned Germany. T A United States, laid President
Wilton, "it contending for nothing lett high and tacred than the right
of humanity, which every Government honor iltelf in retpecting and
which no Government it juttified in resigning on behalf of thote under
itt care and authority. ... , , . .
July g Germany reiterated that American thlpt engaged In legit
imate trade would not be Interfered with, expretted the hope that the
United Statet would tee to it that tie ships did not carry contraband,
suggested thai four pattenger thipt, to be immune from attach, be
placed in trantatlantic service, but contended "In particular the Im
perial Government It unable to admit that American citizen can pro
tect an enemy ship through the mere fact of their presence on board."
July 21 President Wilson tent what it regarded the final warning
to Germany. He said that further attacks on thlpt carrying American!
would be regarded at "deliberately unfriendly," and declared that the
United Statet would uphold the freedom of the teat "at any coif."
GERMANY TO MOVE
CAUTIOUSLY IN REPLY
Continued from l'.nge One
rolled tho document In a copy of nn engi
neering magazine, and walked with it
i.. i. in hnmi nrrnm the sauaro from tho
embassy to tho Foreign Office, where of
lato ho hns been bo frcquont n visitor
thnt n preliminary nppolntment was
scarcely necessary.
Tho transmission of the note was ac
complished this tlmo without orible delays
or confusion. Tho last note was delayed
several hours In transit.
The mcBjngo was transmitted In seven
sections.
Tho American Embassy declined to
make public nny hint of the contents of
the note. Tho Gorman Foreign Office
gave advance Information to a few prom
inent German editors.
Doctor von Jagow, the Foreign Minis
ter, mado a direct report upon the note
to Doctor von Bethmann-Hollweg, tho
Chitncellor
Count Ernest von Bevcntlow, writing In
the Tnges Zeltung, Bays that tho German
submarine campaign- will not be re
stricted, no matter how strong tho Amer
ican noto may be.
U. S. NOTE PLAIN SPOKEN
AND FIRM, LONDON VIEW
LONDON, July Si.
"The American noto is decidedly Arm In
tone; It will make unpleasant reading for
tho Knlser nnd his henchmen -and ex
ponents of rightfulness." said tho Eve
ning News, whose nttltude wna typical
of that of today's London evonlngnews
papcrs on President Wilson's latest com
munication to Berlin.
The text of the note reached here too
lato for editorial comment In tho earl
editions of the afternoon papers. The ma
jority of the papers, however, carried
brief Introductory comments.
Tho Evening Star headlined the noto
"Firm." and in Its comment declared:
"America's message is couched in plain,
unmistakable language, which will bn llt
tlo relished In Herlln. Thus Germany's
frantic efforts to Justify her piratical
methods in tho eyes of the people of the
United States have definitely and finally
failed. The note's grave tone Is most
accentuated In tho concluding sentence,
warning Germany that future attacks im
periling tho lives of American citizens will
be regarded as 'deliberately unfriendly." "
PRESIDENT SPEEDING NORTH
TO CONCLUDE HIS VACATION
ON DOARD PRESIDENT WILSON'S
TRAIN, HARTFORD, Conn., July 24.
Having placed his "llnal word" to Ger
many before the nation. President Wil
son is once more speeding north to the
quiet seclusion of tho New Hampshire
hills for a vacation of indefinite length.
Ho will reach Cornish at 2 o'clock this
afternoon.
Owing to his arduous labors of the last
few days, the President is somewhat
tired and worn, and he slept late this
morning. Tho President does not ex
pect to return to Washington for 10 days
unless urgent business requires him to
do so. The pending Drltlsh noto will be
rent to Cornish for his consideration by
Secretary of State Lansing, and it is not
thought probable the dispatch of this
note will necessitate Mr, Wilson's re
turn, to the capital.
Special care is being taken to guard
the President on the present trip and an
extra police guard is out at many points
en route,

sion. Pructlcal advice conccrnlnB ntttlonni de
fenses Is bolnp; sought from every nvall
ablo professional source. It Is known
that the best minds of the military
branches of the Government' have been
at work on these matters for some time.,

been most directly In touch with modern
conditions of dofonso havo been called
upon for their views. The President not
only wishes advice from thoso who havo
knowledge of nctual conditions of war
faro existing in Europo today, but he la
scoklnp; light from thoso who aro nblo to

phnses of nltorcd conditions on both land

navy to Btnnd upon equality with tho
most cinclent and serviceable fighting
sea force maintained by nny Power.
As to tho army, it 1b known thnt the

nnd natlonnl policy, and which the Pres

gram somo very definite conclusions al
ready havo been reached,
