THE United States government last Fri
day transmitted TO the German govern
ment the protest OF President Wilson
against the act OF Germany in sinking the
passenger steamer Lusitania on the high
seas, whereby more than one hundred
American citizens lost their lives. The
President plainly states that our govern
ment regards this and similar acts as "vio-
latlon ofAmerican rights on the high seas. "
The communication expresses the eXpec-
tation OF the United States thatthe Imperial
German government twill disavow the
acts OF which the government ofthe Uni
ted States complains, that it will make
reparation so far as reparation is possible
for injuries which are without measure,
and that il will take immediate steps TO
prevent the recurrence OF anything so
obviously subversive of the principles OF
warfare for which the Imperial German
government in the past so wisely and so
firmly commended"
The United States will hold the Imperial
German government 10 strict account
ability for any infringement of the rights,
intentional or incidental, of our citizens
bound on lawful brands as passengers
on merchant ships of belligerent nations.
The President further says:
Expressions of regret and offers OF
reparation in case of the destruction oil
neutral ships sunk by mistake, while they
may satisfy international obligations if no
loss OF life results, cannot justify or ex-
cuse practice the natural and necessary
effect OF which is to subject neutral ma
tons and neutral persons to new and inn
measurable risks. The Imperial German
government will not expect the govern
ment of the United States TO omit any
word or any act necessary TO the perform
ance of its sacred duty of maintaining the
rights OF the United States and its citizens
and OF safeguarding their free exercise
and enjoyment"
The Presidents note is regarded as an
ideal State paper. II is entirely courteous
and dignified, and yet it is firm and de-
cided. II contains no threat, but il clear
ly indicates the purpose of our govern
ment 10 maintain the rights and privileges
OF our citizens as they 90 about the world
on lawful errands. II has met the entire
appreciation of the press of the country
and is commended generally by the peo-
pie. We confess that, in view of the hor-
ror OF the occurrence which calls il forth.
we believe that the statement should have
been bit more pointed.
The German government has not YET
made any reply to the note, but an an
swer is expected with few days. There
is belief expressed that the reply will
be conciliatory in tone, but the Germans
are not much given to apology or explana-
ton, and we will not be surprised if they
will seek to justify their barbarous acts.
