SECRETARY OF STATE TO
AMBASSADOR GERARD.

International News Service Correspondent.
Department of State, Washington,
July 24.-"You are instructed to de-
liver textually the following note to
the minister for foreign affairs:
The note of the imperial German
government dated the Sth of July.
1915, has received the careful consid-
GRAFTON of the government of the
United States, and it regrets to be
obliged to say that it has found it very
unsatisfactory, because it fails to meet
the real differences between the two
governments and indicates no way in
which the accepted principles of law
and humanity may be applied in the
grave matter in controversy, but pro-
poses. on the contrary arrangements
for partial suspension of those prin-
ciples which virtually set them aside.
One Point Satisfactory.
THE government of the United
States notes with satisfaction that
the imperial German government
recognizes without reservation the
validity of the principles insisted on
In the several communications which
this government has addressed to the
imperial German government with re-
gard to its announcement of a war
zone and the use of submarines against
merchantmen on the high seas-the
principle that the high seas are free,
that the character and cargo of a mer-
chairman must first be ascertained be-
fore she can lawfully be seized or de-
stroyed, and that the lives of noncom-
batants may in no case be put In
jeopardy unless the vessel resists or
seeks to escape after being summoned
to submit to examination-for a bel
ligerent act of retaliation is per sc an
act beyond the law, and the defense Of
an act as retaliatory { an admission
that 1t is Illegal.
Cannot Discuss Great Britain.
1.-The government of the United
States is, however, keenly disappoint-
ed to find that the imperial German
government regards itself as In large
degree exempt from the obligation to
observe these principles, even where
neutral vessels are concerned, by what
It believes the policy and practice of
the government of Great Britain to
be in the present war with regard to
neutral commerce. The imperial Ger
man government will readily under
stand that the government of the
United States cannot discuss the
policy of the government of Great
Britain with regard to neutral trade

ticn Again Demanded.

Washington, July 24.-The text of
the reply Of the United States to the
German note on the Lusitania and the
general subject of Germany's subma-
rtne warfare was made public at the
state department.
Soon after 1t was given out the
president went to Cornish for a vaca-
ton and Secretary Lansing left town.
Secretaries Garrison and Daniels also
viii be absent until about Tuesday.
Only One Threat.
The only suggestion of threat or
menace to the Germans in the note
is in the last paragraph, and it is be-
heved changes were made in it Just
before It was put on the cables. This
paragraph says:
Friendship itself prompts it to say
to the imperial government that repe-
tition by the commanders of German
naval vessels of acts in contravention
OF those rights must be regarded by
the government of the United States,
when they affect American citizens,
as dcIlD0rdC0ly u0IrleQQIy.
This phrasing, it is believed, was
adopted at the last conference be-
tween Secretary of State Lansing and
the president and at a time when
there were several other phrases un-
der discussion.
Not an UItimatum.
The general tone of the note does
not affect the German official mind
here adversely. In the opinion of
some German officials the note is least
of all an ultimatum, and suggests new
ways by which the diplomatic discus
sions can be continued Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
was at the state department and was
handed a copy of the note. He would
not discuss it officially but he left the
distinct impression on friends with
whom he talked that the avenues by
which friendly adjustment can be Sc
cured have not been closed.
One of the salient suggestions of
the note is that it seems to refrain
from repeating the language of for
Eer American notes, which have been
construed by diplomats here as mean
ing that Germany must stop her subma-
rine warfare. Not only is there an abb
sence Of that character of language
but the concluding paragraph seems
only to ask that there be a restriction
on the conduct of the submarine war
fare affecting ships carrying Ameri-
cans. In other words, there is no
apparent insistence or demand that
the United States supervise the whole
conduct of German military activities
to her war zone. The note in full fol-
lows:
