Of the note was Senator Fletcher OF

FINAL WORD EXPRESSED
ON SUBMARINE QUESTION
Germany Virtually Informed That
Relation With U. S. Must Rest
Upon Her Future Acts.
RECALLS THE LUSITANIA CASE
President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing Leave Washington to
Watch Developments at
Summer Homes

With the publication today of
the note warning Germany that
any repetition Of acts by her sub
marine commanders in violation
of American rights would be re-
garded as deliberately unfriend-
ly," the United States govern
ment awaited further develop
ments.
The note does not necessarily
call for reply. 1t leaves the way
open, however, for an answer
from Germany disavowing the
sinking of the Lusitania and offer
ing reparation, submitting assur-
ances as to the future actions of
her naval officers and even ask
ing directly for mediation by the
United States between the Ger
man and British governments on
the general subject of warfare on
the sea.
The use in the note of the
phrase deliberately unfriendly" is
viewed as expressing the final
word of the United States gov
eminent regarding Germany's
submarine warfare. The United
States does not abate in any re-
spect, but rather more strongly
insists upon, the demands made
in previous notes that Germany
acquiesce in its views that the
rules of international law and hui
manity be obeyed in her naval
warfare.
The United States government can
not believe, the note says, that the
imperial government will longer re-
frain from disavowing the wanton acts
of its naval commander in sinking the
Lusitania" and making reparation for
the lives Of Americans lost in that dis
aster. 1t announces that the govern
ment will continue to contend for the
freedom Of tho seas from whatever
quarter violated. without compromise
and at any cost"
The note also invites tho practical CO.
operation of the German government
in an effort to bring about the freedom
Of the seas: declares that the American
government cannot discuss actions of
Great Britain. and that 1t regards as
Irrelevant in the present negotiation
the conduct of other belligerents; points
out that recent events have clearly in
dictated that it is possible and practi-
cable" to conduct submarine operations
"in substantial accord with tho accept
ed practices Of regulated warfare, and
rejects Germany's proposal that GER
tain vessels be designated and agreed
upon which shall be free on the seas
now illegally prescribed"
The note is now in the hands Of the
German government, and no reply is ex-
pected for several weeks. President
Wilson and Secretary Lansing had left
Washington today, tho President going
to Cornish. N. H. and Mr.. Lansing to
Manchester by-the-Sea, Mass, to visit
Col E. NJ House.
