The fact that more than 100 AmerL

Of these things and once more, with

of the imperial German government to
the grave responsibility which the
government of the United States con-
ceiyes that it has incurred In this
tragic occurrence and to the undisput'
able principle upon which that respon.
sibility rests. The government Of the
United State is contending for some.

is contending for nothing less high
and sacred than the rights Of human.
