These are not new circumstances. They have been In the minds of statesmen i and of International jurists throughout I the development of naval warfare, and the Government of the United States j does not understand that they have ! ever been held to alter the principles i of humanity upon which It has insist | ed. Nothing but actual forcible re ; sistance or continued efforts to escape i by flight when ordered to stop for the j purpose of visit on the part of the : merchantman has ever been held to | forfeit the lives of passengers or crew. The Government of the United States, however, does not understand that the Imperial German Government is seek ing In this case to relieve Itself of lia bility, but only Intends to set forth the circumstances which led the comman der of the submarine to allotv him self to be hurried into the course which he took. Tour Excellency's note. In discussing the loss of American lives resulting from the sinking of the steamship Lusitanla, adverts at some length to certain Information which the Imper ial German Government has received with regard to the character and out fit of that vessel, and your Excellency expresses the fear that this informa tion may not have been brought to the attention of the Government of the United States. It Is stated in the note that the Lusitania was undoubtedly equipped with masked guns, supplied with trained gunners and special am munition, transporting troops from Canada, carrying a cargo not permit ted under the laws of the United States to a vessel also carrying passengers and serving. In virtual effect, as an auxiliary to the naval forces of Great Britain. Fortunately, these are matters con cerning which the Government of the United States is in a position to give the Imperial German Government offi cial Information. Of the facts alleged in your Excellency's note, if true, the Government of the United States would have been bound to take official cognizance in performing its recogniz ed duty as a neutral power and in en forcing Its national laws. It was its duty to see to It that the Lusitanla was not armed for offensive action, that she was not serving as a trans port, that she did not carry a cargo prohibited by the statutes of the United States and that if in fact she was a naval vessel of Great Britain, she would not receive clearance as a merchantman: and It performed that duty and enforced Its statutes with scrupulous vigilance through ita regu larly constituted officials. It Is able, therefore, to assure the Imperial German Government that It has been misinformed. If the Imper ial German Government should deem itself to be In possession of convincing evidence that the officials of the Gov ernment of tl»e United States did not perform these duties with thorough ness, the Government of the United States sincerely hopes that It will sub mil the evidence for consideration. Whatever may be the contention of the Imperial German Government re garding the carriage of contraband of war on board the Lusitania or regard ing the explosion of that material by the torpedo. It need only be said that in the view of this government these contentions are Irrelevant to the ques tion of th» legality of the methods used by the German naval authorities in sinking the vessel. But the Kinking of passenger ships involves principle* of humanity wldcli throw into the background any special circumstances of <! tail (hat may be thought to alTect the cases, principles which lift It, as tl»c Imperial Grnuaii Government will no doubt be quick to recognize and acknowledge, out of the class of ordinary subjects of diplomatic discussion or of international contro versy. Whatever be the oilier facts re garding the I/usitanla, the principal fact is that a great steamer, primarily and chiefly a conveyance for passeng ers, and carrying more than a thou sand souls who had no part or lot in the conduct of the war, was torpedoed and sunk without so much as a clutl lenge or a warning and that men, wo men and children were sent to their death in circumstances unparalleled in modern warfare. The fact that more than one hun dred American citizens were among those who perished made it the duty of the Government of the United State's to speak of these things and once more, with solemn emphasis, to call the attention of the Imperial German Government to the grave responsibility which the Government of the United States conceives that it has incurred in this tragic occurrence and to the in disputable princiDle upon which that responsibility rests. The Government of the United States Is contending for something much greater than mere rights of property or privileges of commerce. It U contending for noth ing less high and sacred than the rights of humanity, which every gov ernment honors itself in respecting and which no government is justified in resigning on behalf of those under Its care and authority. Only her actual resistance to cap ture or refusal to stop when ordered to do so for the purpose of visit could have afforded the commander of the submarine any Justification for so much as putting the lives of those on board the ship in Jeopardy. This prin ciple the Government of the United States understands the explicit instruc tions issued on August 3, 1914, by the Imperial German Admiralty to its commanders at sea to have recognized and embodied, as do the naval codes of all other nations, and upon It every j traveler and seaman had a right to de pend. It Is upon this principle of hu manity, this principle, that the United States must stand. The Government of the United States is happy to observe that your Excel lency's note closes with the intima tion that the Imperial German Gov ernment is willing, n<sw as before, to accept the good offices of the United States in an attempt to come to an understanding with the Government of Great Britain by which the character and conditions of war upon the sea may be changed. The Government of the I'nited States would consider it a privilege thus to serve its friends and the world. It stands ready at any time to convey to either government any intimation or suggestion the oth er may be willing to have it convey, and cordially invites the Imperial Ger man Government to make use of its services in this way at its conveni ence. The whole world is concerned in anything that may bring about even a partial accommodation of interests or in any way mitigate the terrors of the present distressing conflict. In the meantime, whatever arrange ments may liappily.be made between the parties of the war, and whatever may. In the opinion of the Imperial German Government, have been the provocation or the circumstantial jus tification for the past acts of the com manders at sea. the Government of the United States confidently looks to see the justice and humanity of the Gov ernment of Germany vindicated in all cases where Americans have been wronged or their rights as neutrals Invaded. The Government of the United States therefore, very earnestly and very solemnly renews the representations of Its note transmitted to the Imperial German Government on the fifteenth of May, and relies in these representa tions upon the principles of human ity, the universally recognized under standings of international law and the ancient friendship of the German na tion. The Government of the United States cannot admit that the proclamation of ! a war zone from which neutral ships ' have been warned to keep away may j lie made to operate as in any degree | an abbreviation of the rights either of American shipmasters or of American citizens bound on lawful errands as passengers on merchant ships of bel ligerent nationality. It does not un derstand the Imperial German Govern ment to question these rights. It un derstands it, also, to accept as estab lished beyond question the principle that the lives of noncombatants can not lawfully or rightfully be put in Jeopardy by the capture or destruction of an unresisting merchantman, and to recognize the obligation to take suf ficient precaution to ascertain whether a suspected merchantman is in fact of belligerent nationality or is in fact carrying contraband of war under a neutral flag. Tlic Government of the United States therefore, deems it reasonable to ex pect that the Imperial German Gov ernment will adopt the measures nec essary to put these principles into practice In respect of the safeguarding of American lives and American ships, and asks for assurances that this will be done.
