safe passage Of such passenger steam
ers, when made recognizable by sps-
cial markings and notified a reason
able time in advance.
THE imperial government, however.
confidently hopes that the American
government will assume to guarantee
that these vessels have no contraband
on board, details of arrangement for
the unhampered passage of these yes
sells to be agreed upon by the naval
authorities of both sides.
NeutraIs Suffered on Enemy's Ships.
In order to furnish adequate Ia
cilities for travel across the Atlantic
for American citizens. the German
government submits for consideration
proposal to increase the number of
available steamers by installing in
passenger service a reasonable num-
Der of neutral steamers, under the
American flag, the exact number to
be agreed upon under the same con-
dition as the above mentioned Ameri-
can steamers.
THE imperial government believes
1t can assume that in this manner ade-
Quate facilities for travel across the
Atlantic ocean can be afforded Ameri-
can citizens. There would, therefore.
appear to be no compelling necessity
for American citizens to travel to Eu-
rope in time of war on ships carry
ing an enemy flag.
'In particular the imperial gov
ernment is unable to admit that
American citizens can protect an
enemy ship through the mere fact
of their presence on board.
Germany merely followed Eng
lands example when she declared
part of the high sea an area of war.
Consequently. accidents suffered by
neutrals on enemy ships In this area
OF war cannot well be judged differ
emily from accidents to which neu-
trails are at all times exposed at the
seat of war on land when they be-
take themselves into dangerous To-
calities In spite of previous warn.
ings.
If, however, 1t should not be DOS
sible for the American government to
require an adequate number Of neu-
trail passenger steamers, the imperial
government Is prepared to interpose
no objections to the placing under the
American flag by the American gov
ernment of four enemy passenger
steamers for passenger traffic be-
tween North America and England.
Assure Americans Safe Passage.
Assurances of free and safe pass
sage for American passenger steam
ers would extend to apply under the
identical pro-conditions to these for
merly hostile passenger steamers.
"The President of the United States
has declared his readiness, in a way
deserving of thanks, to communicate
and suggest proposals to the govern.
nent of Great Britain with particular
reference to the alteration of marine
war. The imperial government will
always be glad to make use of the
good offices Of the President, and
hopes that his efforts in the present
case, as we'll as in the direction of the
lofty ideal of the freedom of the seas,
will lead to an understanding.
"The undersigned requests the am
bassador to bring the above to the
knowledge Of the American govern
ment and avails himself Of the oppor-
tunity to renew to his excellency the
assurances of his most distinguished
consideration. (Signed)
