Great Britain Advised Not to Misuse

Stars ard Stripes.
 Washington. The text Of the notes despatched hx the United States to 1he Governments of Great Britain and Germany were made public here and prove to be the most vigorous asser. lions ai ihe rights Of America as a neutral yet made by this Government,
 The communication to Germany is considerably more severe in tone than had been generally anticipated. So strong are representations Ambassa. dor Gerard has been instructed 10 make 4o Germany with regard to her inn piled intentions as to neutral shipping fa the new war zone" that they Yir-
 aally commit the United States to drastic action If disregarded at Berlin.
 The United States declares that it will hold the German Government to strict accountability for any act Of it's maval officers resulting in the destrue- fion Of bonafide American shipping or She loss of American life. Amhassa. dor Gerard will assert that should a German naval officer act upon the as sumption that the United States flag @as merely a eoneealment Of yes. xeis identity and destroy an American vessel or American life on such an assumption the United States would view such au act as an indefensible violation os neutrality and not com. ratible with the continuance of friend iy relations between tine two Govern ments.
 Therefore the United States asks sf the German Government some as snranee that Americans and their yes, seis will not be molested upon the ksgA seas by German naval forces ex- g,tpf through the exercise of ihe recog slEztsf right of visit and search The riga ef Americans and their vessels 4o be exempted from any danger from German naval forces even within the limits Of the war zone declared by Germany is vigorously asserted throughout the entire note, It is de clared that the United States regards it as incredible that the German Gov ernment should really intend to carry an tts operations in the manner indi- cated in the Admiralty proclamation and in the supplementary memoran- dun issued by the German Foreign Oniee.

 # is now plain that in spite of
 fhe protest Of the United States
 Germany will not alter her plan
 of warfare against British ner-
 chant shipping unless Great Brit
 ain herself changes her present
 purpose of attempting to stsrve
 the German nation.
 This vas made clear in note from abe German Government delivered at 1he State Department by Ambassador von Bernstoff.
 A statement issued by the German Embassy here says that Germany will he obliged 10 adhere to the announced principles ill England submits to the recognized rules Of warfare establish cd bg the declarations Of Paris and London or until she is compelled to do 20 by the neutral Powers
 This statement by the German hm- aassy. while in the form Of a simple announcement. Is in reality para phrase If not an exact translation Of she note which was handed to the state Department. Tire mere state uenl by the embassy without any ref orence to the delivery of the note was oi course simply the observing Of dip 1amatic proprIeties lHaamaeh a# the State Department itself did not make the note public.
 This statement oontains the first h. tImafion concerning Germany's reply fo the inquiry of the United States as so what Is tc be done to protect neu- afal shipping The suggestion Is made that neutrels might sail in daylight under convoy of their own warships. Germany frankly reiterates that under any other circumstances the safety of neutral shipping in the war zone around the British Isles will be "seri- 0usly threatened Germany adds warning of additional danger from mines declaring that these will be Laid in the new war zone 10 very considerable extent.
