TERM NOTE TO u. S.
Views of Two Nations Regarding Lu-
sitana Show Great Variance,
Says Foreign Secretary.

Berlin, via London, May 3i--Got-
tlieb Won JagoW, the imperial Ger
man foreign secretary has outlined the
reasons which impelled the German
government to send ad interim the
note to the United States government,
instead of a final and definite reply
to the American representations re-
garding the Lusitania and other ships
that have been torpedoed and Ger
many's submarine policy.
'The issues involved" said Herr
Won Jagow, "are Of such Importance
and the views in regard to the Lusi-
tania show such variance that the
German government believed it essen
tial to attempt to establish a common
basis of fact before entering into 8
discussion of the issues involved.
Open For Discussion.
1--WE hope and trust that the Amer
lean government will take the same
view of the case and let us know in
what points their understanding of the
facts differ from the German view
point as set forth in the note and in
what points they agree before looking
for direct answer to their communi-
cation.
THE American note, of course,
leaves the way open for a preliminary
discussion of the situation as suggest
ed in the German note. l hope that
such a common basis Of fact, once
established may serve as the ground
work for further conversations"

n1t1Cns Of war, 1t was said, would be
answered by the statement that an
official investigation showed the ship
carried no guns, mounted or unmount-
ed, and that it was not violation OF
federal statutes to carry small arms
and ammunition on passenger ships.
Reiterating that the Lusitania, there
fore, was a peaceful merchantmen, en-
titled to the right of visit and search
and the transfer Of her passengers
and crew to places OF safety, previous
to any attempt to destroy any contra
band of war, in accordance with prize
law, it is believed the United States
will insist upon disavowal of such
acts and a guarantee that German
submarine warfare will be conducted
in the future along humane lines, as
suring Americans safety of their lives
and their ships on the high seas.
Lusftania Was Unarmed.
Proposals on the part of Germany to
meet the arguments with affidavits al
legged to be in the possession of the
German embassy here to prove that
the Lgsitania carried guns will not be
considered, in view of official knowl-
edge here that the ship was unarmed.
Moreover, the government is expected
to point out that during the present
discussion the American steamer Ne
braskan has been torpedoed by Ger
man submarine.
The admission of the German adj
R1iralty, announced officially in a re-
port from Ambassador Gerard, that the
commander of the submarine which
torpedoed the Guliight did not notice
the American flag on the Gulfight"
until after he had fired the torpedo,

The United States has declared that
no potential menace by submarines

Leon c. Thrasher.
Germany claims that carelessness or
suspicious acts of neutral vessels is
responsible for umjustitied attacks by
German submarines.
The United States insists German
submarines have no right to make mis-
takes.
Germany charges that the Lusitania
carried mounted masked guns.
The United States denies that the
Lusitania left New York armed.
Germany describes the Lusitania as
a British auxiliary cruiser.

Germany announces that it will not

The United States holds that human

exercise Of revolving practice.
Germany alleges that an American
law was violated by the presence of
explosives on the Lusitania.
The United States asserts that no
American law was violated.
Germany suggests that it will cease
submarine warfare if the United
States will induce Great Britain to
surrender its war against foodstuffs
intended for the people of Germany.
The United States feels it cannot
barter with Great Britain over a
question which relates solely to Ger

of both governments, the Imperial gov
ernment considers it first necessary
to convince itself that the information
accessible to both governments above
the facts of the case is important and
in accord.
'The government of the United
States proceeds on the assumption
that the Lusitania could be regarded
as an ordinary unarmed merchantmen
The Imperial government allows itself
in this connection to point out that
the Lusitania was one of the largest
and fastest British merchant ships,
built with government funds as an
auxiliary cruiser and carried express

er weapons manned by persons who
have been specially trained in serving
guns. The Lusitania, too, according
to information received here, had can
