Therefore the United States asks II ,
tn. German Government some assur-
ance that Americans and their vessels

through the exercise Of the recognized
right of visit and search. The right of
Americans and their vessels to be eS-
empted from any danger from German
the war zono declared by Germany is
vigorously asserted throughout the en-
tire note. II IL declared that the United
States regards It as incredible that the
German Government should really in
tend TO carry on its operations IN the
manner indicated in the Admiralty
proclamation and in the supplement
tary memorandum issued by the Ger

the German Government that the
United States is making representa-
