away from the network of searchlights
and showers of lead from the anti
aircraft guns, that the British calm,
recently SO much exploited in the news

NOTE DECLARED NOT
TO Be SATISFACTORY

Washington, July Little basis
on which negotiations may be pro-
longed is found by many officials who
analysed the German note on sub
marine warfare. The treatment of the
Lusitania case, in the view of some,
seems to offer a possible obstacle to a
prolongation of the negotiations, as
he United States asked for dis
avowal of the act and received none.
The whole question, in the minds OF
some, seemed to hinge on whether
there is another violation by Germany
of the rights for which the United
States contends.
1t was recognized that since the
Lusitania was sunk and the negotia-
lions begun German submarines have
given warnings, as III the case OF the
Armenian and the Anglo-Californian.
If the German practice continues to
square with international law some
Officials here do not believe an aca-
demic discussion of principles would
be placed in jeopardy by prolonging
the parleys. On the other hand,
there was general belief that any
further destruction of American life
in contravention of law would bring
the situation to a sharp and critica!

Germany Reiterates Position in
Latest Note.
MAKES PROPOSAL TO U. $.
Will Permit Adding Reasonable Num-
Der of Neutral Vessels to Fleet
Flying stars and Stripes.

Berlin, July 11-Germany's latest
offer, embodied in the reply to the
United States note regarding the
sinking of the Lusitania and subma-
marine warfare, is as follows:
First-Reiterated assurance that
American ships engaged in legitimate
trade will not be interfered with nor
the lives Of Americans upon neutral
ships be endangered.
Second-The German submarines
will be instructed to allow American
passenger ships to pass freely and
safely, Germany entertaining in re-
turn the confident hope that the
American government will see that
these ships do not carry contraband;
such ships to be provided with dis
tinguishing marks and their arrival
announced a reasonable time in ad-
vance. The same privilege is extend
ed to a reasonable number of neutral
passenger ships under the American
flag, and should the number of ships
| thus available for passenger service
prove inadequate, Germany is willing
to permit America to place four hos
tile passenger steamers under the
American flag to ply between North
America and Europe under the same
conditions.
Germany declares that England's
closing of the North sea. her procla-
| nation of a starvation blockade and
her general disregard of international
rules of warfare are alone responsible
for submarine warfare. The note rec
ognizes that this blockade imperils
neutrals, but in this connection the
declaration is made that Germany's
Sacred duty" is to protect her own
people.
German Position on Lusitania.
The German position on the Lusi-
tania, set forth as follows, is deemed
especially important:
"The case of the Lusitania shows
with horrible clearness to what jeop-
| ardiZing of human lives the manner
of conducting war employed by our
adversaries leads; In the most direct
contradiction of international law, all
i distinctions between merchantmen
and war vessels have been obliterated
by the order to British merchantmen
to arm themselves and to ram sub
marines and the promise of rewards
therefor, and neutrais who use mer-
chantmen as travellers thereby have
been exposed in an increasing degree
4 to all the dangers of war.
eff the commander of the German
submarine which destroyed the Lusi.
tania had caused the crew and pas
sengers to take to the boats before
firing a torpedo this would have meant
the sure destruction of his own YES
sci. After the experiences in sinking
much smaller and less seaworthy YES
mighty ship like the Lusitania would
remain above water long enough
even after the torpedoing. to permit
passengers to enter the ships boats.
circumstances of a very peculiar
kind, especially the presence on board
of large quantities of highly explosive
material, dissipated that expectation.
In addition it may he pointed out that
if the Lusitania had beer spared
thousands Of cases of munitions would
have been sent to Germany's' enc
mics and thereby thousands of Ger
man mothers and children would
have been robbed Of bread winners
