the imperial government must comply

If no answer is made then Germany
must comply with the American de.

1t was in this sense that the note

it was not regarded as such in tech.

At the very outset Germany is told
that the last communication from Ber.

1t was held that Germany had recog.

government as to the rights Of Ameri-
cans by its plea Of right of retaliation
against England s blockade, but the
note declared the United States was
keenly disappointed to find that Ger.

these principles. Germany was told
that this government "must regard the
conduct of other belligerent govern.
mentS as irrelevant to any discussion
with Germany of what is regarded as
grave and unjustifiable violation of the
rights of American citizens by German
naval commanders.
The German suggestion that certain
vessels agreed upon shall be immune
from submarine attack was rejected as
implying that other ships were subject
to illegal attack. This, it was stated,

Virtually An Ultimatum.
(By Charles P. Stewart.)



UNITED Press staff Correspondent.)
Washington, July 24.-That in spirit
the new American note to Germany is
an ultimatum was the concensus of
opinion here today, following the publ
cation Of the strong protest against the
Eaiser's submarine warfare.
OF ccCrse it is not an ultimatum in
form. No time limit is named in which
Germany must give an answer to the
demand that the rights of Americans
opon the seas be respected. In fact
the note demands no answer at all, but
it SAYS the last word of this govern.
ment as to the sinking of the Lusitania
and the ieopardizing of American lives
through attacks upon merchantmen
without warning.
The new communication contains nc
threat Of anything the United States
win do if its wishes are disregarded
hut declares that repetition by com
manders Of German vessels al acts in
nontrayention Of American rights will
constitute an unpardonable offense
aud will be regarded as deliberately
uufriondly."
Opinion differed today as to the
thing Germany would deem to be in her
own best interest to 10 in view Of the
firm stand taken by the administration
Some believed she would consider the
friendship Of the United States too val
liable to lose; would hesitate about
aligning the world against her and cen
'equently would not regard American
passive hostility lightly
Others thought Germany would fee

of another enemy. Defiance of tn,
