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
lands example when she declared part
of the high sea an area of war. Con-
sequently accidents suffered by neu-
trails 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
lea and England. Assurances of free
and safe passage for American pas
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.
THE undersigned requests the am
bassador to bring the above to the
knowledge of the American govern
