u. S. to Send Note to Germany
on the Legal Points Raised
in the Nebraskan Case

Although officials were pleased by
receipt of memorandum from Ambas
sador Gerard formally transmitting
Germany's admission Of liability and
expression of regret for the attack
by German submarine on the Ameri-
can steamer Nebraskan, they practical
ly decided that the legal points raised
by the incident would require the dis
patch Of a note on the subject further
to conserve American rights in the
war zone
Legal officers Of the American gov
ernment who examined the German
respects the case resembled that Of the
william P. Frye, an American ship,
sunk by the Prinz Eitel Friedrich. In
both cases the German government has
expressed regret at the occurrence and
offered to compensate American citi-
zens for losses sustained, but the action
of the German commanders has been
declared justified under the circum-
stances To admit this. ofiicials here
say, would establish dangerous prece-
dent.
Contention in the Frye Case.
Germany in the Frye case contended
that It was a fair inference from the
language Of the Prussian-Amer1can treaty
VI
contraband could be destroyed II there
was no other way to stop the traIHporta-
tion of the contraband.
The United States vigorously objects
to this construction Of tho treaty and in
the case of .he Nebraskan probably will
place on record its view that the attack,
even though payment 10 assured and re-
grets expressed, nevertheless was an IL
legal act under the international law and
treaty relations between tho United
ar1 HU
officials take the view that the case
of the Nebraskan proves conclusively
that a merchantmen must be visited In
order to determine its nationality and
attacked Some high officials do not
believe the United States would insist
| that in exercising the right of visit the
auired to board q merchantmen. but
would hold that ship could be Wis
tied" by signaling warning to stop
and ask for the submission OF papers
to the submarine commander.
This was done recently In the case Of
the American bark Normandy. which
was halted by Q German submarine and
allowed to proceed.
Is Subject Of Comment.
The text Of the German memorandum
on the case Of the Nebraskan was the
subject Of much comment in official
quarters because 1t bears out conclu-
sions reached by Lieut.. John n. Towers,
naval attache OF the American embassy
| in London, who forwarded fragments
| Of metal found in the Nebraskan when
she arrived at Liverpool to the Navy
Department with his expression OF
| opinion that the vessel was torpedoed
| and not mined.
naval constructors At the American
| embassy at London were able to ee-
| tablish that the vessel was torpedoed.
| This has strengthened the confidence of
| naval ofiicers here that they will be
| able to determine accurately the causes
| OF rnishaps to American vessels IN the
| war zone provided the hull can be
| raised or brought into port for ex-
4 animation.

President Unable to Depend
Upon Cabinet for Much Aid
in Framing Note to Germany

When President Wilson opens the
cabinet next Tuesday morning and pro-
ceeds to take up the grave question of
an answer to the reply Of the German
government to the second note of this
country regarding the Lusitania affair
and submarine warfare generally he
will find serious lack of concentration
of opinion among his cabinet members.
Plainly, President Wilson must almost,
unassisted, assume the responsibility of
the answer to Germany. Heretofore
sentiment in his cabinet as to the
course he should pursue has coincided
fully with his own Views. and 1t Is
expected to do 30 when the next an
swer is made, but tho point now Is that
no valuable suggestions have been
formulated for his consideration a. an
aid to him unless Secretary Lansing
has done so. There IL said to be no
doubt that the entire cabinet will be In
accord with tho President in the fnal
stand he takes, however.
Members of the cabinet who have
been disposed to sympathtze with Ger
many to large extent In the past are
irritated at the amazing situation in
which Germany has left matters. Her
official answer declines to concede the
rights this country insists upon, but
at tho same time her submarines arc
following a policy that cannot be OBJ
jectionable to the administration II
continued.
No Longer Sacrificing lives.
She Is no longer torpedoing vessels
and sacrificing lives without the warn
ings laid down by international law,
but she does not ofiicially admit that
she is doing this or that she will con-
tinue to pursue this policy. Another
complication is the attempt now being
made by her representatives. to bring
about mediation as to maritime condi-
tions in the North sea that would bring
about a change in the policies Of both
Germany and England.
German oficials have shown lack OF
frankness, 1t was declared today by .
high government official. They had a
splendid opportunity. 1t was declared,
to have gained Immensely in the favor
of the people OF the United States by
candidly asserting their purpose to try
to comply with the insistent demands
Of the President. Although they are
practically doing this, SO far as their
submarines 80, they will not admit 1t.
Their trouble Is said to be tho over
whelming sentiment in their own coun-
try in favor Of pursuing the same pol
icy that sank the Lusitania, and they
fear a split among their own people
should they come out squarely and an
nounce their purpose not to repeat this
sort Of thing.
