State Department

Germany's reply TO tho American note

can rights on the high seas, which cul-
minated in the torpedoing and sinking
of the British steamer Lusitania, by
which over 100 American citizens lost
their lives" is in the hands of the

III IS reply, the German government.

self-defense, in that it alleges the Lusi-
tania was carrying war munitions for
the destruction of German soldiers 1t,
however, withholds its finai decision on
these particular demands pending the
can government ION certain important
facts having direct bearing on the
sinking OF the Lusitania," which Ger
many thinks have escaped the attention
OF the American government
These facts, as set forth IN the Ger
man reply, arc that the Lusitania was
British auxiliary cruiser: that she
had cannon mounted and concealed he
low decks: that the British admiralty
mad instructed its mercantile shining
TO seek protection under neutral flags,
and to attack German submarines: thai
prizes were offered for this latter; thar
the Lustania carried Canadian troops
aad war material and that she could
not be considered as "undefended."
experimenting the German reply
Herr Won Jagow. the German Foreign
Secretary. explains the reason for what
might be called preliminary note,
saying:
"'Thc issues involved are of such i'm :
portance, and the views in regard to
the Lusitania show such variance, that
the German government believed il es-
sential TO attempt to establish n com
mon basis of fact before entering into
