Reports say That Germany viii So

Washington--Germsny. In her forth
coming reply to the last United States
note TO her on submarine warfare.
will propose a discussion By this gov
eminent OF the principle and doctrine
OF reprisal or retaliation az a iusfifl-
cation or palliation Of her past acts
OF submarine warfare which have af-
fected the lives OF American citizens.
Germany will expect . free. full and
clear discussion OF this theme In con
nection with the starvation reprisal
Of Great Britain Germany will main.
tain that II Is impossible to discuss
the universally admitted doctrine of
repris&is without discussing II equally
with Germany and Great Britain. This
proposal. IL Is understood. is the argu-
ment which Germany held in reserve
when she sent her last note to the
United States. In that note she said
that she had other considerations to
present in refereace TO the Lusitania.
The information that the other con
siderations are those given comes
from diplomats who are In a position
to know with a reasonable degree Of
certainty the attitude Of Germany aft
er the publication Of the Lansing note.
These officials say that Germany
will not 90 TO the extent Of asserting
that the law Of retaliation. even in It's
widest and most flexible interpreta-
ton. could be applied to any tragedies
in the future In which there shall be
