AMBASSADOR GERARD.

TIE oeNoe AM VI 0U]U8 ~
AMBASSADOR GERARD.
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 9Th 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 1t 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 a partial suspension Of those prin-
ciples which virtually set them
aside
Ono Point Satisfactory.
1.-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 q 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 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 q bel
lfgerent act Of retaliation is per SO an
act beyond the law. and the defense of
an act as reta1iatory Is an admission
that it ia illegal.
Cannot Discuss Great 1ritain.
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
II 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

Caee-Text Of Wilson Note.

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-
rfne warfare was made public at the
state department.
Soon after it was given out the
president went to Cornish for q vaca-
ton and Secretary Lansing left town.
Secretaries Garrison and Daniels also
will be absent until about Tuesday.
Only Ono Threat.
The only suggestion Of threat OF
menace to the Germans in the note
Is in the last paragraph, and it is be-
Heved changes were made in 1t just
before it was put on the cables. This
paragraph says:
Friendship itself prompts 1t TO say
to the imperial. government that repe-
tition by the commanders of German
naval vessels Of acts in contraventton
of those rights must be regarded by
the government Of the United States,
when they affect American citizens.
as deliberately unfriendly"
This phrasing, It is believed, was
adopted at the last conference be-
tween Secretary, Of State Lansing and
the president and at 9 time when
there were several other phrases un-
der discussion.
Not an Ultlmatum.
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
stons can be continued. Count Won
Bernstorff. the German ambassador,
was at the state department and was
handed 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 So
cured have not been closed.
One Of the salient suggestions OF
the note is that 1t seems to refrain
from repeating the language of for
mer American notes, which have been
construed by diplomats here as mean
ing that Germany must stop her sub
marine warfare. Not only is there an
absence Of that character Of language
but the concluding paragraph seems
only to ask that there be 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-

ITALIANS AWAIT
CABINETS ACTION
Rome Looks Anxiously to To-
days Meeting Negotiations
with Austria Continue.

Rome, April %. The widespread be-
lief that Italy must soon make her
decision for or against war has
aroused public feeling to a state Of
nervous excitement. The tension in
creases daily.
Another meeting Of the Cabinet is to
be held tomorrow. Il is looked for
ward to with considerable anxiety, for
il is realized that from some one Of
these meetings must come the word
for peace or war.
Baron de Macchio. the Austrian Am
bassador, had long interview this
afternoon with Foreign Minister SON
nino. The conference is interpreted as
an indication that negotiations between
Italy and Austria are being continued.
A prominent Italian statesman said
to-day that the participation of Italy
in the war, at least in the immediate
future, seemed less likely now than
had been the case for some time.
Itlly must find reason for picking
a quarrel with Austria he said. This
might be in the form Of an Uitimatum
on account of the gathering of Aus
trian troops along the Italian frontier
or on account of he unfortunate posi-
ton Of Italians under Austrian rule.
1T rs easy to foresee, however, that
Austria would not respond 20 any such
provocative measures. She would at
tempt 30 give Italy satisfaction m
every possible way, desiring TO put this
country in the position Of the ag-
gressor if ultimately Italy joins IN the
war"

EAST PRUSSIA LAID
WASTE BY RUSSIA
Ruins Mark Path of Invaders
Along $50 Miles of Frontier
One Town CITY of Dead

K6nigsberg. East Prussia, April g.
Thousands Of persons homeless, thou
sands Of buildings burned to the ground
and millions Of dollars worth Of dam
age done-such is the toll Of the Rus
sian invasions Of East Prussia, which
eliminated recently in a raid on the
little city Of Memel in the northern
most corner Of the province.
Hard on the heels Of the most recent
invaders the correspondent recently
toured East Prussia or that part Of it
which at one time OF another had been
held by the Russians and had an OPP
portunity to see the effects Of their
forward march, and Of their retreat as
they were driven back into their own
country.
Along a line Of $50 miles as the
crow flies, and for a distance varying
from five to fifty miles inward from
the Russian border, there now remains
but a succession Of ruins.
After painstaking efforts the East
Prusrian authorities have been able TO
estimate the number Of fugitives
driven out at about 100000, the mum
Der of horses taken at 100000, the
number Of cattle at 10000. The eX-
tent Of the property damage, however,
il is as yet impossible even to guess.
That it will run into the millions is
altogether likely.
Careful investigation, nevertheless,
has established beyond much doubt,
according to German statements, that
thousands Of women and children have
been carried of TO Russia, and that in
, addition to the marauding that p is
patent TO the casual glance civilians
have been killed and outraged.
In the town Of Schirwindt. directly
on the Russian border, appropriately
named the "City Of the Dead By an
otherwise Unconditional German lieu.
tenant the only living Inhabitants
are hundreds Of carron crows.
