TO GUARANTEE
SAFETY ON SEA
Note to Kaiser, Made Public,
Friendly in Tone, but Insists
on Demands in Original
Communication.
LUsIrAN1A PASSENGER SHIP
Fact that it Was TOrpedOed With
out Warning Stands Out
Before All.
HUMANITY IS THE KEYNOTE


WASHINGTON, June 10.-The
United States in its latest note to
Germany, made public tonight, for
mally asks the imperial government
for assurances that measures here
after will be adopted to safeguard
American lives and American
ships" on the high seas. The
alternative In case of refusal Is not
stated.
II was this note to which William
Jennings Bryan refused to attach his
signature, resigning instead his
portfolio of secretary OF state and
thereby precipitating dramatic
cabinet crisis.
Robert Lansing, secretary Of state
ad interim, signed the communion
tion which went forth with the ap-
provai OF President Wilson and his
entire cabinet.
Friendly terms characterize The docu-
ment. which renews representations made
in the American note that reached der
many May 10 after the LIusitania was
torpedoed and sunk with a loss OF more
than 100 American lives.
The German government. II IL declared:
Must have been misinformed" when II
assumes that the Lusitania carried guns,
as official information is at hand TO
corroborate the original contention OF the
Washington government that the Lust
tania was an unarmed passenger ship.
which. since II did not resist captprc.
could not be sunk without transferring
passengers and crew to a place OF safety.
The communication informs Germany
that II ia on the principle OF humanity
as well az upon the law founded upon
this priuciple that the United states
must stand
simply Passenger ship.
Opportunity is given TO Germany 10
submit any evidence that American Of
ficials did not execute their tasiSa thor
oughiy In inspecting the Lusitania before
It sailed but the cardinal fact--that the
liner VIZ given no warning and made
no rest enco and was primarily pas
senger dp-the American government
declar throws into the background
any rtYys tal circumstances OF detail ana
lifts -. case out OF the class OF ordi-
nary subjects OF diplomatic discussion or
of international controversy"
The issuance of another statement by
former Secretary Bryan coincident with
the publication OF the note today added
TO the surprise In official quarters at
the character of Mr.. Bryans arguments
High officials said the note employed the
very process - persuasion which Mr..
Bryan eosdvocated and did not neces-
sarily lead 10 war.
