upon their receipt, your note Of May

your supplementary note Of June /,
setting forth the conclusions so far
as reached by the Imperial German
Government concerning the attacks on
the American steamers Cushing and
GulGight | am nov instructed by my
government to communicate the fol.
lowing in reply:
The government OF the United
States notes with eradication the full
recognition by the imperial German
Government, in discussing the cases of
the Cushing and the GulGight Of the
principle OF the freedom Of all parts
of the open sea to neutral ships and
the frank willingness Of the Imperial
German Government to acknowledge
and meet its liabilities where the fact
OF attack upon neutral ships which
have not been guilty Of any hostile
act by German aircraft vessels Of war
IS satisfactorily established, and the
Government Of the United States will
in due course, lay before the Imperial
German Government, as IL requests,
full information concerning the attack
on the steamer Cushing.
THE FALABA CASE.
with regard to the sinking Of the
steamer Falaba, by which an Ameri-
can citizen lost his life, the Govern
ment Of the United States is surprised
TO find the Imperial German Govern
ment contending that an effort on the
part Of merchantmen TO escape cap
ture and secure assistance alters the
obligation Of the officer seeking to
make the capture, in respect of the
safety of the lives of those on board
the merchantmen, although the vessel
had ceased her attempt to escape when
torpedoed. These are not new circum.
stances. They have been in the minds
of statesmen and of international
jurists throughout the development Of
naval warfare. and the Government of
the United States does not understand
that they have ever been held to alter
the principles of humanity upon which
II has insisted. Nothing but actra!

inet.
Friendly terms characterize the
document, which renews representa-
tions made in the American note that
reached Germany on May IS, after the
Lusitania was torpedoed and sunk,
with loss OF more than 100 American
lives. The German government, 1t is
declared, must have been misinform-
ed" when II assumed that the Lusi.
tania carried guns, as official informa-
tion is at hand TO corroborate the orr
ginal contention of the Washington
government that the Lusitania was an
unarmed passenger ship which, since
It did not resist capture could not be
sunk without transferring passengers
and crew to a place Of safety.
WHAT AMERICA EXPECTS.
The communication informs Ger.
many that It is "on the principle of
humanity, as well as upon the law
founded upon this principle, that the
United States must stand" Oppor-
tunity is given to Germany to submit
any evidence that American officials
did not execute their tasks thoroughly
in inspecting the Lusitania before she
sailed. but the cardinal fact-that the
liner was given no warning and made
no resistance and was primarily
passenger ship--the American gov
eminent declares throws Into the
background any special circumstances
Of detail" and lifts the case "out Of
the class of ordinary subjects Of diplo.
matte discussion or international con
troversy"
