Text Of Note On Sussex

Washington, May 11.-The text of
the German note on the Sussex,
signed by Foreign Minister Won Jagow
and addressed to Ambassador Gerard,
dated May 8, follows:
experimenting his note of the
fourth instant, concerning the con-
duct Of the German submarine war
fare, the undersigned has the honor
to inform His Exce11ency, The Aneri-
can ambassador Mr.. James w. Ger
ard, that the further investigation
made by the German naval authori
ties concerned, in regard to the French
steamship Sussex, on the basis of the
American material, has been concIud-
ed in the meantime. In conformity
with the result OF this investigation
the assumption expressed in the note
of the undersigned of the tenth u1timo,
that the damage of the Sussex was to
be traced back to a cause other than
the attack of "a. German submarine,
cannot be maintained.
'sSuch an assumption had to be ar
rived at with certainty from the ma
terta1 in the possession of the German.
government for itself, and without
further knowledge of the circum-
stances connected with the Ttorpedoing
of the Sussex, the more 50 as apart
from the points enumerated in the
note of the tenth ultiuo, the follow

imate1y at the same time as the Sus-
sex, an auxiliary warshfp left the port
Of Fo1kestone with large transport

same day a transport steamer was tor
pedoed in the channel, a few minutes
preceding the explosion on the Sus-,
sex, she had passed through a, mass
of ship wreckage, winch created the
impression that a ship had sunk at
that spot shortly before. All these
facts justified the conclusion that the
only case Of torpedoing which could
be considered under the circumstances.
had struck the British war vessel,
whereas the Sussex had met with an
accident in some other way.
|'However, on the basis of the
American material, the German gov
eminent cannot withhold its convic
ton that the ship torpedoed by the
German submarine is in fast identical
with the Sussex, for In accordance
with this material the place, the time,
and the effect of the explosion, by

which the Sussex was damaged, agree
in the essential details with the state
ments of the German commander, SO
that there can no longer be any ques-
ton of the possibility of two indepen-.
dent occurrences An additional rea-
son is constituted by the fact that
officers of the American navy found
fragments Of an explosive in the hold
of the Sussex which are described by
them upon firm grounds as parts Of a
German torpedo.
FINALLY the counter evidence
which was deduced in the note of
the tenth uItimo from the difference
in appearance of the vessel described
by the submarine commander and the
only reproduction of the Sussex then
available, has proven to be untenable,
inasmuch as according to a photo
graph of the damaged Sussex now to
hand, the characteristic distinctions
no longer existed at the time of the
accident; while the Sussex in the
photograph of my Daily Graphic in
closed in the note only carried one
mast and also showed the white gang
way customary on passenger vessels
on the level with the portfolios, the
reproduction of the damaged Sussex
shows a second mast and a uniform
dark color and thus approaches in
her outer appearance the description
of the vessel as furnished by the sub
marine commander.
TN view Of thees circumstances the
German government admits that the
assurance given to that American
government, in accordance with which
passenger vessels were not to be at
tackled without warning, has not been
adhered to in the present case. AS
was intimated by the undersigned in
the note of the fourth instant the
German government does not hesitate
to draw from this resultant conse-
quences. It therefore,, expresses to the
American government its sincere re-
greet regarding the depIorable incident
and declares it's readiness to pay an
adequate indemnity to the injured
American citizens. It also disap-
proved of the conduct of the com
nander, who has been appropriately
punished.
f.Expressing the hope that the
American government will consi der
the case of the Sussex as settled by
these statements, the undersigned
avails himself of this occasion to re-
new to the ambassador the assurance
of his highest consideration.

This would provide pay at the rate

be given an opportunity to attend

When the conferees adjourned they

the committee room was marked by

The attitude of the southern Con-
