against the arrest of the Austro-Hun -

Frederick 9. Penfield, says:
s'The arrest Of consular officers ac-

well as the search Of the consular
archives which under the law are
inviolable, constitutes a. fragrant
breach of the sovereignty of a neutral

aging to the rights and interests OF
Austria Hungary. It can only be cali
ed an arbitrary act which transgresses
the limits of existing law and prece-
dents for belligerents.
These acts prove that France and
Great Britain do not shrink from
deeds which are the gravest breeches
of the law and can be extenuated in
no way. The Austro-Hungarian govs

action corresponding to the decisions
which both powers make in regard
to these persons who have been de-
prived of their liberty.'s

German steamer merely applied meas
ures of reprisal announced by Ger
many in February. 1915. These meas
ures are in harmony with international
law because England is endeavoring
by Illegal means to tie up the legiti-
mate maritime commerce between
Germany and neutral countries, to cut
off Germany from all imports and
thereby starve the German people Ap-
propriate reprisals are permissible
against measures In violation of in.
ternational law
an all three cases the German ma
val forces intended only to destroy
hostile ships and in no way to s1ay
helpless persons who were attempting
to save their lives. The assertions to
the contrary of the British government
must be repudiated with all decisive
ness as untrue
.aThe German government is Of the
opinion that it must reject as inac-
ceptabIe the British proposal to submit
these three cases, @ogether with the
Baralong case, to Investigation by
court of American naval officers. It
takes the standpoint that the charges
against members OF the German forces
must be investigated by its own COM
petent authorities and that the per-
sons accused be given every surety OF
an unprecedented verdict, with Just pun
ishrnent where necessary.
SIN the Bara1ong case it, has adj
vanced' to the British government no
request other than this, not doubling
for a moment that a court martial
COMPOSED of British naval officers
would inf1ict suitable punishment for
the coward1y and perf1dfous murder,
This request was undustif1able be-
cause Of the fact that the guilt or the
commander and crew of the Baralong
was established practically beyond
doubt by af1davfts by Americans, who
are neutral witnesses. and submitted
to the British government,
t.The manner in which the British
government has answered the Ger
man memorandum does not cores
pond in form and contents with the
gravity of the situation and makes it
impossible for the German govern
ment to negotiate further with the
British government IN regard to this
matter, The German government
therefore takes the ground, as the
final result of the negotiations, that
pretexts, has left unfulflled the justi-
fed demands for an investigation of
the Baralong case and thereby has
made itself responsible for the crime
of defying international law and hui
mainly, showing that it desires no
longer to observe in respect to Ger

rules of war, namely, to spare enemies
