Government will sustain them in the eX-
erclse of their rights.
There was recently published in the
newspapers of the United States, 1 regret
to inform the Imperial German Govern
ment. a formal warning, purportng to
come from the Imperial German Embassy
at Washington, addressed to the people
of the United States, and stating In et-
feet that any citizen of the United states
who exercised his right of free travel
upon the seas would do so at his peril
II his journey should take him within the
zone OF waters within which the Imperial
German Navy was using submarines
against the commerce of -reat BRITAIN
and France. notwithstanding the respect
ful but very earnest protest of this Gov
ernment, the Government of the United
States. 1 do not refer to this for the pur-
pose of calling the attention of the Inn
perial German Government a. this time
to the surprising rregularity of COM
munIcaton from the Imperial German
Embassy at Washington addressed to the
people of the United States through the
newspapers. but only for the purpose of
pointing out that no warning that am
unlawful and nhumane act will he COM
mitted can possibly be accepted as an
excuse or palliation for that act. or as
an abatement of tho responsibility for
its commission.
Long acquainted as this Government
has been with the character of the I'M
perial German Government and with the
high principles of equity by which they
have In the past been actuated and
guided. the Government of the United
States cannot believe that the command
ers of the vessels which committed these
acts of lawessness did so except under
n msapprehension of the orders issued
ties 1t takes it for granted that. at
least within the practical possibilities of
every such case, the commanders even of
submarines were expected to do nothing
that would involve the lives of noncom-
batants or the safety of neutral ships.
even at the cost of falling of their object
of capture or destruction.
It confidently expects, therefore, that
the Imperial German Government will
disavow the acts of which the Govern
ment of the United States complains;
that they will make reparation so far as
reparation Is possible for injuries which
are without measure, and that they will
take immediate steps to prevent the re-
currence of anything so obviously sub
versve of the principles of warfare for
which the Imperial German Government
have in the past so wisely and so firmly
contended.
The Government and people of the Unit
ed States look to the Imperial German
Government for just, prompt and enllght-
ened action in this vital matter with the
greater confidence because the United
States and Germany are bound together
