s'MIsAPPREHENsioN'!
"Long acquainted A. this government
has been with the character OF the Inn
p<rial German government and with the
high principles OF equity by which they
have In the past been sctuated and guided,
the government OF the United States can
not believe that the commanders OF the
vessels which committed these acts
Of iawlessncss did 80 except under q mis-
apprehension OF the orders issued by the
Imperial German naval authorities 1t
takes 1t for granted that, at least within
the practical possibilities Of every such
case, the commanders even OF submarines
were expected to do nothing that would
Involve the lives OF non-combatants or
the safety OF neutral ships, even at the
cost OF falling OF their object OF capture or
destruction. Il confidently expects. there
fore, that the Imperial German govern
ment will disavow the acts OF which the
government OF the United states CON-
plains, that they will make reparation as
far ~ reparstion is possible for injuries
which are without measure, and that they
will take immediate steps to prevent the
recurrence OF anything so obviously sub
versive OF the principles OF warfare for
which the Imperial German government
have in the past SO wisely and so firmly
contended.
1.-THE government and people OF the
United States look to the Imperial Ger
man government for just, prompt and en-
frightened action in this vital matter with
the greater confidence, because the United
states and Germany are bound together
not only by special ties OF friendship,
but also by the explicit stipuiations OF
the treaty OF 1925 between the United
States and the kingdom OF Prussia.
Expressions OF regret and offers OF
reparation In case of the destruction OF
neutral ships sunk by mistake, while
this may satisfy international obligations,
il no loss OF life results, can not justify
or excuse practice the natural and nee
essary effect of which is to subject
neutral nations and neutral persons to
new and unreasonable risks.
"The Imperial German government will
not expect the government OF the United
States to omit any word or any act nee
esssry to the performance of its sacred
duty OF maintaining the rights OF the
United States and it's citizens and OF safe
guarding their free exercise and enjoy

Story of the Crime.

Porter Charlton killed his wife in
their villa on Lake Como June 9, 1910.
He was twenty years old and she many
years his senior. At the time of their
marriage, a short time prior to the
tragedy, she was Mrs. Neville H.
Castle. a daughter of Henry H. Scott
of San Francisco. Charlton's father is
Paul Charlton. former federal judge of
the district of Porto Rico.
In his confession Charlton said his
wife was subject to fits of violent
temper, and that when enraged she
showered abuse upon him. 1t was dur
ing one of these fits, he said, that he
seized mallet and struck her a blow
on the head, killing her. He then put
the body into a trunk and threw it
into the lake
