combatants and neutrals that If they
took passage on an enemy's liner they
did so at their own risk"
With regard to the case in question
there is other law than that which
Germany explicitly stated in her
war zone decree"
On February 10. eight days before
the German Government began act
ually to enforce its previous "de-
cree" warning neutrals off the high
seas. the government of the United
States communicated to Berlin the
definition, the warning and the state
mont of law to which we have just
referred.
The definition OF what DR.. Derns
burg styles unnecessarily getting in
between the fighting lines in war;
as revised by our government in its
note of February -, becomes the full
enjoyment Of acknowledged rights on
the high seas"
The counter warning TO Germany's
two months notice to neutrals that
they will exercise at their peril their
acknowledged rights on the high seas
was continued in the notification tC
the German government that the
United States government purpOscd
to hold it Ito strict accountability for
such acts Of their naval authorities
and to take any steps it might be
necessary to take to safe guard Amer
ican lives and property and 10 secure
to American citizens the full enjoy
mcnt Of their acknowledged rights OF
the high seas"
/ 1t is proper that the American def
milton of neutral rights on the higl
seas. the American warning as TO oui
intention to secure for the neutral.
Of this country their rights ON thu
high seas, and the American inter
probation of the laws of neutrality il
civilized warfare should be pu
squarely against the German theog
as outlined by Dr Bernard DcrnburI
and those of our German America
friends who echo his hasty and no
altogether judicial sentiments.
