OFFICIALS NOT SATISFIED WITH NOTE [Continued from First Page.] In discontinuing diplomatic intercourse with Germany. Germany's complete evasion of liability for the loss of Am ericans 6n the Lusltanla has revived the subject most acutely according to well informed persons. Many are Disappointed For several days there has been an undertone of disappointment and ap prehension over what Ambassador Gerard informed the State Depart ment that the German note would con tain. The feeling has been, however, that nothing formal or official could be said concerning the American posi tion until the official text arrived. President Wilson has giving quiet consideration to the character of the reply and some of his advisers already have been making suggestions with reference to the course that should be pursued. Analyzing the German answer to day, officials found little on which It appeared that the negotiations could be further prolonged. The United States had devoted its attention to the principle that Americans should be able to travel on the high seas on un armed and unresisting belligerent mer chant ships of any nationality in ac cordance with previously recognized principles of international law. As surances had been asked that before any destruction would be attempted the visit and search of peaceful ves sels and the transfer of passengers and crew to a place of safety would be accomplished. It was recognized that Germany In Its latest note has ignored this vital question and had shifted, now emphasizing the condi tions under which it would promise complete Immunity from danger to Americans traveling even on American ships; a situation which since Ger many's circular note with reference to neutral vessels received on May 11 had not been called into question. newly to Destroy Ships The expression by Germany of a "confident hope" that the United States "will assume to guarantee that those vessels have no contraband on board to be agreed upon by naval authorities of both sides," left the im plication in the minds of many offi cials that Germany was prepared to destroy American passenger ships If they were found to be carrying contra band. Even though passengers and crew of a neutral ship were trans ferred to a place of safety, the destruction of the vessel for carrying contraband has been held by the United States to be in violation of in ternational law except in an extreme case. With reference to destruction of American ships, such destruction has been held specifically to be in violation of the Prussian-American treaty of 1828. It was recalled that in the last note which Germany sent on the Frye case, this treaty was given a new Interpretation in that the right to stop American ships carrying con traband and even to destroy them was declared for the first time to be a natural inference from the language of the treaty. The reference in the new note to the Lusitania tragedy created a pro found impression. After having asked the United States in the first place to consider that the Lusitania was in reality an armed auxiliary cruiser and carried high explosives which the Am erican Government In its note contra dicted with official information, the German Government it now seemed, had formally justified the action of the submarine commander in sinking the vessel, thereby refusing to dis avow the act as the LTnited States had requested. The statement that the German submarine commander could not have halted the vessel without submitting his boat and crew to dan ger of destruction and the assertion that it was not expected that the Lusitania would sink Immediately after being torpedoed, but would re main afloat while passengers -were re moved in her boats, was taken to mean that Germany held that regard less of whether the Lusitania was armed the submarine commander took a proper course in torpedoing the ship without ■warning. Official Text of German Reply to U. S. Message The text of the German note fol lows: "Berlin, July 8. "The undersigned has the honor to make the following reply to his ex cellency, Ambassador Gerard, to the note of the tenth ultimo the Impair ment of American interests by the German submarine war. The imperial government learned with satisfaction from the note how earnestly the gov ernment of the United States is con cerned In seeing the principles of hu manity realized in the present war. Also this appeal finds ready eheo in Germany and the imperial government is quite willing to permit Its state ments and decisions In the present case to be governed by the principles of humanity Just as it has done al ways. Recalls Dealing With Franklin "The Imperial government welcomes with gratitude when the American government in the note of May IB It self recalled that Germany had al ways permitted itself to be governed by the principles of progress and hu manity In dealing with the law of maritime war. Since the time when Frederick the Great negotiated with John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson the treaty of friend ship and commerce of September 9, 1785, between Prussia and the repub lic of the west, German and American statesmen have In fact always stood together In the struggle for the free dom of the seas and for the protection of peaceable trade. In the Interna tional proceedings which since have been conducted for the regulation of the laws of maritime war Germany and America have jointly advocated progressive principles, especially the abolishment of the right of capture at sea and the protection of the interests of neutrals. "Even at the beginning of the pres ent war the German government Im mediately declared Its willingness In response to proposals of the American government to ratify the Declaration of London and thereby subject itself in the use of its naval forces to all the restrictions provided therein In favor of neutrals. Germany likewise has been always tenacious oi the principle that war should be conduct ed against the armed and organized forces of an enemy country, but that the enemy civilian population must be spared as far as possible from the measures of war. The Imperial gov ernment cherishes the definite hope that some way will be found when peace Is concluded, or perhaps earlier, to regulate the law of maritime war in a manner guaranteeing the free dom of the seas, and will welcome It with gratitude and saisfaction If It can work hand in hand with the American government on that occa sion. Charges Foes Violated I jaws "If in tne present war the principles which should be the ideal of the fu ture have been traversed more and more, the longer its duration, the Ger man government has no guilt therein. It is known to the American govern ment how Germany's adversaries, by completely paralyzing peaceable traffic between Germany and neutral coun tries, have aimed from the very begin ning and with Increasing lack of con sideration at. the destruction, not so much of the armed forces as the life of the German nation, repudiating in doing so all the rules of International law and disregarding all right of neutrals. ' On November 3, 1914, England de clared the North sea a war area and by planting poorly anchored mines and by the stoppage and capture of ves sels made passage extremely dan gerous and difficult for neutral ship ping. that actually blockading neutral coasts and ports contrary to all Inter national law. Long before the begin ning of submarine war England prac tically completely Intercepted legiti mate neutral navigation to Germany also. Thus Germany was driven to a submarine war on trade. On November 14, 1914, the English premier declared In the house of com mons that it was one of England's principal tasks to prevent food for the German population from reaching Germany via neutral ports. Since March first England has been taking from neutral ships without further formality all merchandise proceeding to Germany, as well as all merchan dise coming from Germany, even when neutfal property. Just as it was also with the Boers, the German people is now to be given the choice of perish ing from starvation with its women and children or of relinquishing its Independence. Forced to Submarine Warfare "While our enemies thus loudly and openly proclaimed war without mercy until our utter destruction, we were conducting a war in self-defense for our natural existnee and for the sake of peace of an assured permanency. We have been obliged to adopt a sub marine warfare to meet the declared intentions of our enemies and the method of warfare adopted by them in contravention of international law. "With all its efforts in principle to protect neutral life and property from damage as much as possible, the Ger man government recognized unre servedly In its memorandum of Feb ruary 4 that the interests of neutrals might suffer from the submarine war fare. However, the American govern ment will also understand and appre ciate that In the fight for existence which has been forced upon Germany by its adversaries and announced by them it is the sacred duty of the im perial government to do all within its power to protect and save the lives of German subjects. If the imperial government were derelict in these its duties it would be guilty before God and history of the violation of these principles of highest humanity which are the foundation of every national existence. "The case of the Lusltanla shows with horrible clearness to what Jeop ardizing of human lives the manner of conducting war employed by our adversaries leads. In the most di rect contradiction of international law all distinctions between merchantmen and war vessels have been obliterated by the order to British merchantmen to arm themselves and to ram sub marines and the promise of rewards therefore, and neutrals who use mer chantmen as trawlers thereby have been exposed in an increasing degree to all the dangers of war. Lusltanla Action Justified "If the commander of the German submarine which destroyed the Lusi tanla had caused the crew and pas sengers to take to the boats before fir ing a torpedo this would have meant the sure destruction of his own ves sel. After the experiences in sinking much smaller and less seaworthy ves sels, it was to be expected that a mighty ship like the Lusitania would remain above water long enough even after the torpedoing to permit pas sengers to enter the ship's boats. Cir cumstances of a very peculiar kind, especially the presence on board of large quantities of highly explosive materials (word omitted, possibly 'dis sipated') this expectation. In addition it may be pointed out that if the Lusi tania had been spared thousands of cases of munitions would have been sent to Germany's enemies and there by thousands of German mothers and children robbed of bread winners. "In the spirit of friendship where with the German nation has been im bued towards the union and its Inhabi tants since the earliest days of Its existence, the Imperial government will always be ready to do all It can during the present war also to pre vent the Jeopardizing of lives of Amer ican citizens. The Imperial govern ment, therefore, repeats the assurances that American ships will not be hin dered In the prosecution of legitimate shipping and the lives of American citizens in neutral vessels shall not be placed in jeopardy. "In order to exclude any unforeseen danger to American passenger steam ers, made possible in view of the con duct of maritime war by Germany's adversaries, German submarines will be Instructed to permit the free and safe passage of such passenger steam ers when made recognizable by special markings and notified a reasonable time in advance. The imperial gov ernment, however, confidently hopes that the American government will as sume to guarantee that these vessels have no contraband on board, de tails of arrangement for the unhamp ered passage of these vessels to be agreed upon by the naval authorities of both sides. To Increase Available (Steamers "In order to furnish adequate facil ities for travel across the Atlantic for American citizens, the German government submits for consideration a proposal to Increase the number of available steamers by installing In passenger service a reasonable num ber of neutral steamers under the American flag, the exact number to be agreed upon under the same condition as the above mentioned steamers. "The imperial government believes it can assume that in this manner adequate facilities for travel across the Atlantic ocean can be afforded American citizens.

Father Nackoff to Conduct Requiem Requiem services for His Beatitude, Bulgarian Exarch, Joseph I, who died in Sophia, Bulgaria, July 3, will be held to-morrow in St. Annunciation Bulgarian Orthodox church. Front and Franklin street. The Rev. Arch priest David Nackoff, will officiate. M. Paneretoft, Bulgarian minister to the United States, and the entire Bul garian legation at Washington have been Invited to be present. The following sketch of the life and work of Exarch Joseph I has been prepared by the Rev. Father Nackoff: "Last Saturday, July 3, gave up his ghost, His Beatitude, Bulgarian Exarch Joseph I, in Sophia, the cap ital of Bulgaria. The funeral of the deceased, according to a telegram re ceived at the Bulgarian legation in Washington, D. C., was held in Sophia on July 8 in the presence of the fif teen Bulgarian archbishops, and the whole diplomatical world. Sunday, July 11; a requiem for the repose of the soul of the deceased, will be per formed in the Bulgarian Orthodox church, St. Annunciation, in Steelton. From the rector of the church. Rev. Archpriest David Nackoff, all the Bul garians from Bulgaria as well as those from Macedonia, living in Steel ton, Harrisburg and Middletown, will be present and the plenipotantiary minister of the Bulgarian kingdom In Washington, D. C., Mr. Panuretoff, with the staff of the legation, the Rev. Archpriest David Nackoff, from the name of the members of the church telegraphically will express their hearty sympathy to the Bulgarian Holy Synod (of which the deceased was president), and the Rulgarian Govern ment In Sophia, for the valuable serv ices lost in the death of the Exarch. "His Beatitude, the Exarch, was the head of the Bulgarian Orthodox church and trom 1877 till his death, remained on the exarchial throne in Constantinople and Sophia and was directing the destinies of the Bulgarian people in Turkey, which by the caprice of the destiny had to live in slavery under the Turkish yoke. "In the hardest and most critical periods in Turkish sovereignty he knew how to keep his people from assimilation and to turn aside the intrigues invented from the persecu tors to the young Bulgarian people. Thanks to his diplomatical abilities, the Bulgarian people only, which till before 40 years were forced to attend the Greek churches and schools, and worship God in the Greek language, unlnteligible for them, was provided with churches and schools in which they could study and worship God In their own language. "He lived (3 years ago) to see the cross hammered in, in the suburbs of Constantinople, from the brave Bul garian army, which was ready to enter it. and finish the cultural mission of Christian Europe—drive the Moham medlans out of Europe. But in the last moment, when the good under standing among the Balkan allies gave way before jealousy and spite, came the second Balkan war, which ended with the famous Bucharest treaty, by which the whole exarchial territory was given to the Serbians, Greeks and Turks. The Bulgarian Exarch with broken heart and deeply touched from the national sorrows, and with ruined health was forced by the Turks to leave his residence in Constantinople, and go to Sophia, where till the last moment, he participated in the Gov ernment affairs. "With his death Bulgaria and her people have lost a true religious Exarch, wise and intelligent states man and patriot. "At the requiem to-morrow the Rev. Archpriest D. Nackoff, who was per sonally acquainted with the deceased Exarch, will deliver a religious ser mon, portraying the character and biography of the deceased. "After that the mourning procession will be held."

TO MAKE INDEPENDENCE CELEBRATION ANNUAL EVENT Plans for making Steelton's Inde pendence Day celebration an annual affair were favorably discussed at a meeting of the Merchants' Association and borough firemen last evening. Chairman M. J. Kane, of the commit tee In charge of Monday's celebration, reported that the total amount of money collected amounted to $552 and that the expenses were $230. The re mainder of the money will be dis tributed among the five fire companies that participated. therefore, appear to be no compelling necessity for American citizens to travel to Europe In time of war on ships carrying: an enemy flag. In par ticular the imperial government Is un able to admit that American citizens can protect an enemy ship through the mere fact of their presence on board. "Germany merely followed Eng land's example when she declared part of the high sea an area of war. Con sequently accidents suffered by neu trals on enemy ships in this area of war cannot well be judged differently from accidents to which neutrals are at all times exposed at the seat of war, on land when they betake themselves into dangerous localities in spite of previous warning. If, however, it should not be possible for the Ameri can government to require an ade quate number of neutral passenger steamers, the imperial government is prepared to interpose no objections to the placing under the American flag by the American government of four enemy passenger steamers for passenger traffic between North Amer ica and England. Assurances of 'free and safe' passage for American pas senger steamers would extend to ap ply under the identical pro-conditions to the formerly hostile passenger steamers. Acknowledge Wilson Offer "The President of the United States has declared his readiness, in a way deserving of thanks, to communicate and suggest proposals to the govern ment of Great Britain with particular reference to the alteration of mari time war. The imperial government will always be glad to make use of the good offices of the President and hopes that his efforts in the present case, as well as in the direction of the lofty ideal of the freedom of the seas will lead to an understanding.

July 10, vln London 11.58 a. m.—Commenting on the German reply of July 8 to the American note dated June n. relative to Germany's subma rine warfare and Its effect on Ameri can interests, the Morgen Post to-day says: "The answer In every way is worthy of Germany, It shows the calm of a good conscience, a willingness to less en the tearfulness of war as far as possible and an upright wish to live In peace with America. But it also ex presses a Arm will not to abate one jot or tittle of Germany's rights. The answer clearly shows that the respon sibility for the form of submarine war fare rests on Great Britain." The Morgen Post quotes the American note where it declares that the "gov ernment of the United States cannot admit that the proclamation of a war zone from which neutral ships have been warned to keep away may be made to operate as in any degree an abbreviation of the rights either of American ship masters or of American citizens bound on lawful errands as passengers on merchant ships of belli gerent nationality," and says. "This was a point on which Ameri can and German conceptions were op posed to each other and it must be pointed out that this difference of opinion also Is not compromised by the new German note, but that rather it still exists In Its essential features." The Morgen Post also says: "Feeling in the United States Is changed from what It was at the time of the L>ualtanla sinking and. President Wilson will have to satisfy the new feeling In considering and answering the present note. That the note will meet unrestrained approval at the hands of a large part of Americans Is certain.' JULY 10, 1915. t ▼ v t
