the principle Of the freedom Of all
parts OF the open sea TO neutral ships.
the American note sent Germany In
reJoinder 70 Germany's reply II rela-
ton TO submarine attacks, disagrces
with the contention Of Germany re.
lRtIng to the sinking OF the steamer
Falaba. by which an American citizen
lost bis life. The American Govern
ment plainly maintains that 4 was
an unvarrarted act. and that Ger
many should be held TO accountability

Coming 10 the cruz OF tho cJnten-
uon, this government emphaticaliy de
MES the claims made by Germany that
the Lusitania was armed and CARED

spectfully represents that Germany's
Information 10 the contrary is Moor
rect. The note afirms that Sha,cvsr
may be the contentious OF the Ger
man government in this respect. they
are irrelevant TO the question Of the
legality OF the methods used by the
German naval authorities in sinking
the vessel, and that the only question
&C. be considered is that which In
wolves the principles OF humanity.
This government. therefore. recedes
in no contention It made in a former
note, but earnestly and solemnly re-
news the representations therein
made OF the strict accountability OF
Germany. and that its submarine war

non-combatants and neutrals e. Who'll

and consequently without justification
The note Is firm in tone and I'M
qualihedly plain in language. in that

government concur in the right OF

can citizens bound on lawful errands

poets Germany to give assurances
that the future safeguarding Of Amer
lean lives and ships will be done.
So far as The Intelligencer can sec.
there Is nothing in this note but what
will be subscribed to by every patri-
otto American citizen, and that 1t IS
nothing short OF what should have

an advertisement by the terms OF
which they offered TO sell a made-to-
order suit OF clothes and a Palm
Beach suit both for the sum Of SIS.
The plaintiff A. y. Martin. charges
that the advertised Palm Beach suit
was not a Palm Beach suit and that
the other suit he purchased was not
