Berlin.-In its reply to the note of
the United States Government, pro-
testing against the killing of Ameri-
cans and the destruction of American
property by German submarines and
calling for cessation of submarine war
fare against merchant shipping, the
German Government claims that it is
justified In prosecuting warfare
against commerce in this fashion, and
plainly intimates that it has no inten-
ton of abandoning its submarine cam
paign.
Regret is expressed for the loss of
lives in the destruction of the Lusi-
tania, but the claim is made that the
sinking of the liner was justifiable
act of self-defense.
Final Decision Is Withheld.
Suggesting that certain important
facts having direct bearing on the
sinking Of the Lusitania may have
escaped the attention of the American
Government" the note proceeds to re-
cite these facts and recommend them
to the attentive consideration of the
American Government" and then
states that the German Government
will withhold its final decision on the
demands of the American Government
until reply has been received from
Washington.
The following is the text of the
note:
1.-The undersigned has the honor to
submit to Ambassador Gerard the fol-
lowing answer to the communication
Of May Is, regarding the injury to
American interests through German
submarine warfare:
DIsclaims Desire To InJure Neutrals.
1.-The Imperial Government has sub
!ected the communication of the
American Government to a thorough
investigation. 1t entertains also a
keen wish to cooperate in frank and
friendly way in clearing up possible
misunderstanding which may have
arisen in the relations between the two
governments through the events men
toned by the American Government.
Regarding, firstly. the cases of the
American steamers Gushing and Gulf
light. The American Embassy, has
already been informed that the Ger
man Government has no intention OF
submitting neutral ships in the war
zone, which are guilty of no hostile
acts, to attacks by submarine or sub,
marines or aviators. On the contrary
the German forces have repeatedly
been instructed most specifically to
avoid attacks on such ships,
'If neutral ships in recent months
have suffered through the German sub
marine warfare, owing to mistakes In
Identification, II is a question only OF
quite isolated and exceptional cases
which can be attributed to the British
Governments abuse of flags, together
with the suspicious or culpable be
havior of the masters Of the ships.

WHAT THE UNITED STATES SAID
TO GERMANY.

In its note to the Imperial Gov
eminent of Germany, under date
of May 10. the Government Of the
United States said, in part:
This Government as
sumes that the I'M
perial Government accepts. as of
course, the rule that the lives OF
non-combatants, whether they be
of neutral citizenship Of citizens
of one of the nations at war, can
not lawfully or rightfully be put
in jeopardy by the capture or de-
struction of an unarmed merchant
man. and recognizing also, as all
other nations do, the obligation to
take the usual caution Of visit
and search to ascertain whether
suspected merchantmen is in fact
of belligerent nationality, or is in
fact carrying contraband of war
under a neutral flag.
