del IBERATELY UNFRIENDLY" WILL BE

RIGHTS, SAYS NEW NOTE TO GERMANY


destruction of human life by an Illegal
act.
SUGGESTIONS NOT PRACTICABLE.
The government of the United States,
while not indifferent to the friendly spirit
in which it Is made. cannot accept the
suggestion of the imperial German gov
eminent that certain vessels be designat-
cd and agreed upon which shall be free on
the seas now Illegally prescribed. The
very agreement, would, by Implication,
subject other vessels to illegal attack and
would be a curtailment and therefore an
abandonment of the principles for which
this government contends and which in
times of calmer counsels every nation
would concede as of course
BOTH FOR FREEDOM OF SEAS.
and the imperial German government are
contending for the same great object
have long stood together, in urging the
very principles upon which the govern
ment of the United States now so solemn
ly insists. They are both contendng for
the freedom of the seas The govern
ment of the United states will continue
to contend for that freedom from what
ever quarter violated without COM
promise and at any cost. 1t invites the
practical cooperation of the imperial
German government at this time when
cooperation may accomplish most and
this great common object be most strik-
ingy and effectively achieved
WOULD HELP BELIIG Err ENTS.
The imperial German government ex-
presses the hope that this object may be
in some measure accomplished even be-
fore the present war ends 1t can be.
The government OF the United States not
only feels obliged to insist upon it, by
! whomsoever violated or ignored in the
protection Of its own citizens, but is
also deeply interested in seeing it made
pra ctica BILE between the beligerents them
selves. and holds itself ready at any time
10 act as the common friend who may
he privileged to suggest n way.
In the meantime the very value which
this government sets upon the long and
unbroken friendship between the people
and government of the United States
and the people and government of the
German nation. impels it to press very
solemnly upon the imperial German gov
eminent the necessity for a sCrupulous
observance of neutral rights In this
critical matter. Friendship itself prompts
it to say to the imperial government that
repetition by the commanders of Ger
| man naval vessels of acts in contraven-
ton of those rights must be regarded
by the government Of the United States
when they affect American citizens as
deliberately unfriendly.

The Secretary of state to Ambassador
| Gerard,
| You are instructed to deliver textually
the following note to the minister for for

| The note of the imperial German gov
| eminent dated the sth of July. 1915, has
received the careful consideration of the
| government of the United States. and it
regrets to be obliged to say that it has
| found II very unsatisfactorY. because It
| fails to meet the real difference between
| the two governments and indicates no
| way in which the accepted principles of
law and humanity may be applied in the
grave matter IN controversy, but pro-
poses on the contrary. arrangements for
a partial suspension of those principles
which virtually set them aside
| The government of the United States
notes with satisfaction that the imperial
German government recognizes without
! reservation the validity of the principles
insisted on in the several communica-
! lions which this government has address
! ed to the imperial German government
| with regard to its announcement Of a
war zone and the use OF Submarines
against merchantmen on the high seas
| the principle that the high seas are free
that the character and cargo of a mer

hatants may in no case he put in ieop-
ardy unless the vessel resists or seeks to
escape after being summoned to submit

! retaliation is per Sc an act beyond the
law, and the defense OF an act as retalia-
tory is an admission that il is illegal.
DISAPPOINTED AT GERMAN VIEW.
The government Of the United States,
is, however keenly disappointed to lind
that the imperial German government
| regards itself as in large degree exempt
/ from the obligation to observe these
principles. even where neutral vessels
are concerned, by what it believes the
policy and practice of the government
of Great Britain to be in the present
war with regard to neutral commerce,
| The imperial German government will
readily understand that the government
of the United States cannot dis
cuss the policy Of the government
Of Great Britain with regard to neutral
trade except with that government itself
and that it must regard the conduct of
other bellgerent governments as ir-
relevant to any discussion with the i'm
perial German government of what this
government regards as grave and I'M

however iustifable they may be thought
to be against an enemy who is believed
to have acted in contravention of law

they violate the right to life itself. If IA

rs well as Justice and a due regard for
the dignity of neutral powers, should
dictate that the practice he discon-

ment Of the United states is not unmind-

created by this war or Of the radical
alterations of circumstance and method
of attack produced by the use of in
strumcntaites of naval warfare which
the nations Of the world can not have
had in view when the existing rules of
international law were formulated and
IL is ready to make every reasonable
allowance for these novel and unexpected
aspects of war at sea; but it can not
consent to abate any essential or funda-
mental right of its people because of a
mere alteration of circumstances. The
rights of neutrals in time of war arc
based upon principle, not upon ex-
pedioncy, and the principles are i'm
mutable. II = the duty and obligation
Of belligerents to find a way to adapt

LEGAL SUMMARIZING POSSIBLE.
