ordered the crew and passengers by
signal from a m gaphone to leave
within ten minutes. As a matter OF
fact he allowed them twenty-three
minutes and did not fire a torpedo
until suspicious vessels were hurry
ing to aid the Falaba.
With regard 10 the loss OF life
when the British passenger steamer
Lusitania was sunk. the German
Government already has expressed
deep regret to neutrals concerned
that nationals OF those countries lost
their lives. The Imperial Govern-
ment Ia unable for the rest to reject
the impression that certain impor-
tant facts most directly connected
with the sinking OF the Lusitania
may have escaped the attention OF the
American Government. II therefore
considers II necessary In the interests
OF the clear M full understanding
aimed at by beth Governments pri-
marily to convince itself that the
reports Of the facts which are before
the two Governments are complete
and in agreement,
The Government OF the United
States proceeds on the assumption
that the Lusitania is to he considered
as an ordinary unarmed merchant
vessel. The Imperial Government
begs In this connection to point out
that the Lusitania was one OF the
largest and fastest English CONNER
cial steamers constructed with Gov
eminent FUNDS az an auxiliary
cruiser and is expressly included in
the navy list published by the

" In fact she was a naval vessel OF
Great Britain. she should not receive
clearance as a merchantmen and II
performed that duty and enforced its
statutes with s%crupulous vigilance
through it's regularly constituted off,
Gals.
II IL able therefore to assure the
Imperial German Government that II
has been misinformed. II the I'm
perisl German Government should
deem Itself TO be In possession OF con
vincing evidence that the officials Of
the Government OF the United states
did not perform these duties with
thoroughness. the Government OF the
United States sincerely hopes that II
will submit that evidence for consid-
Grafton.
Whatever may he the contentious
OF the Imperial German Government
regarding the carriage Of contraband

garding the explosion OF that mate

said that, In the view Of this Govern

Submarine Warfare q Necessity.
sh Admiralty by secret instructions

ish Admiralty by secret instructions
In February Of this ear advised the
British merchant marine rot only to
seek protection behind neutral nags
and markings but even when so dis
gulsed to attack German submarines
by ramming.
High rewards were offered by the
British Government as u special in
centive for the destruction Of subma-
rines by merchant vessels. and such
rewards already have been paid, In
view OF these facts. which are salts
factorily known to the Imperial Gov
eminent, II is unable to consider Brit
ish merchant vessels any longer "un-
defended territory in the zone Of
war designated by the Admiralty and
stan Of the Imperial German navy.
German commanders consequently
are no longer In the position to OBJ
serve the rules Of right OF capture
with which they invariably complied
before this.
Munitions 70 XIII Germans.
Lastly. the Imperial Government
must specially point out that on her
last trip the Lus!tan!a. as on earlier
occasions, had Canadian trt obs and

ton destined for the destruction OF
brave German soldiers who are full
filling with ~self-sacrihce and deyo-
ton their duty to the fatherland.
The German Government believes
It acts In Just s~elf-defence when its
soldiers, with the means OF war Mt
their comman nd, destroy ammunition
destined for the enemy. English
steamship companies must have been
aware of the dangers ,c which pas-
sengers aboard the Lusitania were
exposed In the circumstances. In
taking them aboard In spite Of this
the company deliberately tried to use
the lives of American citizens as pro-
lection for the ammunition carried
M violated the clear provisions Of
American laws. which expressly pro-
hibit and provide punishment for car

explosives aboard.
The company thereby wantonly
caused the death OF 80 many passen-
gers. According to the express re-
port OF the submarine commander
concerned, which Ia also confirmed
by all other reports. there can be no
doubt that the rapid sinking OF the
Lusitania was primarily due to an ex-
plosion Of her cargo Of ammunition
caused by a torpedo, Otherwise there
was all human probability that me
passengers would have been saved.
The Imperial Government holds the

Principles Of Humanity.

But the sinking OF passenger ships
involves principles OF humanity which
throw into the background any
special circumstances Of detail that
may be thought to affect the cases,
principles which lift t., as the I'm
perial German Government will no
doubt be quick to recognise and
acknowledge. out of the class OF
ordinary subjects OF diplomatic dis
cussion or OF International contro-
versy,
Whatever he The other farts re-
garding the Lusitan!a, the principal
fact Is that a great steamer, pri-
marlly n chiefly a conveyance for
passengers, and carrying more than
a thousand souls who had no mart
or lot in the conduct Of the war, was
torpedoed and sunk without so much
