Washington, July 10-The press copy of Germanyis answer to tine United States on the submarine war fare question arrived in this city turing the night. The chief points cited by Germany are that Great Brit ain has arbitrarily taken it upon her self to intercept legitimate neutral navigation to Germany, thus forcing the latter to resort to submarine war. fare on Great Britain s trade The note states that since the first Of March or whereabouts, England has been taking from neutral ships with out formality, neutral and non-con- trabrand merchandise consigned to private individuals in Germany. On this account the German people are confronted with the choice of starva. tion or re-establishing their indepen- dence before the world. They chose the latter, and the German govern ment is now fighting purely in self defense, using any methods that may be at hand to aid in maintaining national existance.
 The note states that American ships will be uimolested by Germany as long as they are prosecuting legiti- mate shipping business, and the lives of American citizens in neutral yes sells will not be placed in jeopardy.
 From this it will be seen, that though the tone on the note is friend ly, the very principals upon which President Wilson based his complaints to Germany and used as the founda- tion for his demands, have been pass ed ovey lightly, if noticed at all by the Imperial German government No promises are made that steamers of the belligerent nations carrying non eombatant passengers will be treated any better than were the Falaba and the, Lusitania, and taken all in all, the note cannot but be unsatisfactory to President Wilson. The latter is expected to return from Cornish to- morrow

Rome, July 9-Advices from Con stantinople are to the effect that the Turkish garrison at Constantinople rose in revolt against their German officers few days ago, and killed over a hundred of the latter. The Germans have been trying to put the same methods into play used in drill ling and training the German sol diers, but the easily incensed Turk objected. It is said that here are thousands of Germans in both mili- tary and other branches of the Turk lsh government, who have supplanted the Turks everywhere. This fact, coupled with the severity of their drill methods has caused the Turks individually to hate the Germans in spite of the wonderful work their presence is resulting in, in the de- fense of the Dardanelle forts The probabilities are that the revolt will spread to other parts of the Ottoman empire. A state of anarchy prevails at Constantinople.
