Long acquainted as this governrn ent

the high principles of equity by which
they have, in the past been actuated and

these acts of Iaw1essness did so except
under a misapprehension of the orders
issued by the imperial German naval
authorities, 1t takes it for granted

Washington, May 13.-The United
States government yesterday cabied
Ambassador Gerard for presentation to
the German government a note call
ing attention ito the grave situation
which has resulted" from violation of
American rights on the high seas, cul-
minating in the sinking of the Lusi-
tania, with loss of more than 100
American lives.
The communication expresses the
confident expectation of the United
States that the imperial German gov
ernment will disavow the acts of which
the government of the United States
complain, that they will make repara-
tion so far as reparation is possible for
injuries which are without measure
and that they will take immediate
steps to prevent the reoccurrence OF
anything so obviously subversive of
the principles of warfare for which the
imperial German government in the
past so wisely and so firmly contend
ed
In its conclusion, the note states that
''the chief imperial German govern
ment will not expect the government
Of the United States to omit any word
or act necessary to the performance

I'm view of recent acts of the Ger

can rights on the high seas, which cul-
minated in the torpedoing and sink
ing of the British steamer Lusitania
on May z, 1915. by which over 100
American citizens lost their lives, it is
clearly wise and desirable that the gov-
ernnent of the United States and the
imperial German government should
como to a clear and full understand
ing as to the grave situation which has
resulted. fR @
