[Continued from First Page.] mediate steps to prevent the recur rence of anything so obviously subver sive of the principles of warfare, for which the Imperial German govern ment'in the psist so wisely and to firm ly contended. in conclusion, the note states that "the Ini|>fi'ial German government | will not expect the government of the t'nited States to omit any word or any net necessary to the performance of I Its sacred duty of maintaining the rigit's of the United States and Its dti • /.en- and of safeguarding their free I exercise anil enjoyment." ] The full text of the note was made | public last night by the State Depart j mcnt as follows: "Department of State, Washington, May 13, IUIS. "The Secretary of State to the I American Ambassador, at Berlin: [ "Please call on the minister of for j cign affairs and, after reading to him this communication, leave with him a copy. Seeks Clear and Full Understanding "In view of the recent acts of the I German authorities, in violation of American rights 011 the high sees, | which culminated in the torpedoing land sinking of the British steamship Lusitania, on May 7. 1915, b.v which I more than 100 American citizens lost their liveß, it is clearly wise, and de sirable that, the government of the United States and the imperial Ger man government should come to a clear and full understanding as to the grave situation which has resulted. "The sinking of the British pas senger steamer Falaba by a German submarine, on March 28, through which I .eon ('. Thrasher, an American citizen, was drowned; the attack, on April 28, on the American vessel rushing by a German aeroplane; the torpedoing on May 1 of the American I vessel Gulflight by a German subma rine, as a result of which two or more American citizens met their death; and, finally, the torpedoing and sink ing of the steamship l.usitania, consti tute a series of events which the gov ernment of the United States has ob served with growing concern, distress and amazement. "Recalling the humane and en lightened attitude hitherto assumed by the Imperial German government in matters of international right, and particularly with regard to the free dom of the seas; having learned to recognize the German views and the German influence in the field of in ternational obligation as always en gaged upon the side of justice and humanity, ami having understood the instructions of the Imperial German government to its naval commanders to be upon the same plane of humane action prescribed by the naval codes of other nations, the government of the United States was loath to believe —it cannot now bring itself to believe —that these acts, so absolutely con trary to the rules, the practices and the spirit of modern warfare, could have the countenance or sanction of that great government. It feels It to be its duty, therefore, to address the Imperial German government con cerning them with the utmost frank ness and in the earnest hope that it is not mistaken in expecting action on the part of the Imperial German gov ernment which will correct the unfor tunate impressions which have been created, and vindicated once more the position of that government with re gard to the sacred freedom of the seas. Refuses to Recognize War Zone Decree "The government of the United States has been apprized that the Im perial German government considered itself to be obliged by the extraordin- ! ary curcumstances of the present war and the measures adopted by its ad versaries in seeking to cut Germany ' off from all commerce, to adopt meth-j ods of retaliation which go much lie- I yond the ordinary methods of war- j fare at sea. in the proclamation of a war zone from which it has warned neutral ships to keep away. This government has already taken occa sion to inform the Imperial Gerntan government that it cannot admit the adoption of such measures or such a warning or danger to operate as in | any degree an abbreviation of the | rights of American shipmasters or of American citizens bound on lawful er-1 rands -is passengers 011 merchant ships | of belligerent nationality; and that it j must hold the Imperial German gov- j eminent to a strict accountability for] any infringement of those rights, in-1 tontional or incidental. It does not I understand the imperial German gov-! eminent to <|uestion those rights. It! assumes, on the contrary, tiiat the Jm- i IM'i'ial government accept, as of course, i tlie rule that the lives of noncomlmt- I ants, whether they be of neutral citi- | zenship or citizens of one of the na tions at war. cannot lawfully or right fully he put in jeopardy by t lip capture or destruction of an unarmed mer chantman, anil recognize, also, as all other nations do. the obligation to lake tlie usual precaution of vi-it and search to ascertain whether a suspect ed merchantman is in fact of belliger ent nationality or is in fact carrying contraband of war under a neutral flag. "The government of the United States, therefore, desires to call the attention of the Imperial German gov ernment with the utmost earnestness to the fact that the obligation to their 1 present method of attack against the trade of tlielr enemies lies in the prac tical Impossibility of employing sub marines in the destruction of com merce without disregarding those i rules of fairness, reason, justice and ; humanity, which all modern opinion j regards as imperative. It is virtually impossible for the officers of a sub marine to visit a merchantman at sea j and examine her papers and cargo. ! It Is virtually impossible for them to I make a prize of her; and, if they! cannot put a prize crew 011 board of j her, they cannot sink her without leav-1 Ins her crew and all on board of her! to the mercy of the sea in her small! boats. "These facts. It Is understood tlie Imperial German government frankly admit. We are informed that In the instances of which we have spoken, time enough for even that poor meas ure of safety was not given, and In at least two of the cases cited not so much as a warning was received. Manifestly, submarines cannot be used against merchantmen, as (he last few weeks have shown, without an inevi table violation of many sacred prin ciples of Justice and humanity. Upholds Acknowledged Rights of American Citizens "American citizens act within their indisputable rights In taking their ships and in traveling wherever their legitimate business calls them upon I the high seas, and exercise those rights ] in what should be the well-justified confidence that their lives will not be endangered by acts done in clear vio lation of itiii\c, 'sally acknowledged in ternational obligations, and certainly in the confidence that their own gov ernment will sustain them in tlx- exer cise of their rights. "There was recently published in the newspapers of the United Slates, 1 regret to Inform the Imperial German government, a formal warning, pur porting to come from the Imperial German embassy, at Washington, ad dressed to the people of the United States, and staling in effect, that any citizen of the United States who exer cised his right of free travel upon the seas would do so at his peril if his journey should take him within the zone of waters within which the Ini- Iperlal German navy was using subma [ Free!

"I do not refer to this for the pur pose of calling the attention of the Imperial Government at this time to the surprising irregularity of a com munication from the Imperial German embassy at Washington, addressed to the people of the United States, through the newspapers, hut only for tlie purpose of |M>inting out that 110 warning that an unlawful and inhu mane net will he committed tail pos sibly lie accepted a-, an excuse or pal liation for tlint act or as an abatement ol' the responsibility for its commis sion. "Long acquainted as tills govern ment haw been with the character of the Imperial German government and with the high principles of equity by which they have in the puHt been ac tuated and guided, the government of the United States cannot believe that the commanders of the vessels which committed these acts of law lessness did so except under R misap prehension of the orders issued by the Imperial German naval authorities. Kml of Iwless Acts at Sea Demanded "It taUes if for granted that, at least within the practical possibilities of every such case, the commanders even of submarines were expected to do nothing that would Involve the lives of noncomhatantg or the safety of neu tral ships, even at the cost of failing ol their object of capture or destruc tion. If confidently expects, therefore,' that the llmperial German government will disavow tlie acts of which the goteminent of ihe I'uitcd States eom plaln-. Dial they will make reparation so far ns reparation is imssiblc Tor in juries which are without measure, and that the* will lake immediate steps to prevent tlie recurrence of any thing so obviously subversive of the princi ples of warfare for which the Imperial German government have In the past so wisely and so firmly contended. "The government and people of the United States look to the Imperial Ger man government for just, prompt and enlightened action in this vital matter with tlie greater confidence because the 1 nited States and Germany are bound together not only by special lies of friendship, but also by the ex plicit stipulation of tlie treaty of 1828 between the United States and the kingdom of Prussia. "Expressions of regret and offers of reparation in case of destruction of neutral ships sunk by mistake, while they may satisfy international obliga tions, If no loss of life results, cannot Justify or excuse a practice, the natu ral and necessary effect of which Is to subject neutral nations and neutral persons to new and immeasurable risks. "The Imperial Oerimtn government will not expect the government of the United States to omit any word or aet necessary to the performance of Its sacred duty of maintaining tlic rights of Hie lulled Suites and its rillzruj and of safeguarding their free exer cise and enjoyment.
