Not Certain

The object was SO distant and the
light so poor that the captain was I'M
able to say positively that he had
sighted a submarine. and the steam
boat inspectors to whom he made his
report were inclined to the opinion
that the failure of other incoming
boats to note the presence of any
stranger In these waters cast doubt on
the accuracy of his observation. 1t was
pointed out, on the other hand. that
the rough sea might have led a sub
marine commander to seek quieter
waters. The point where the towboat
captain saw the supposed U-boat is
we'll within the three-miie limit.

American Reply to.
Entente's Note on
Submarines Visit

Washington. Oct. 1o.-The text Of the
American memorandum replying to that
of the allied governments regarding
treatment of beuigerent submarines in
neutral ports is as follows:
The government of the United States
has received the identical memoranda
Of the governments Of France. Great
Pr!tain, Russia and Japan, in which
neutral governments are exhorted to
take efficacious measures tending to
prevent belligerent submarines, regard
less of their use. to avail themselves
OF neutral waters, roadsteads and har-
bors. These governments point out the
facility possessed by such craft to avoid
supervision or surveillance or deter
mination Of their national character and
their power to do injury that is in
herent in their very nature as we'll as
the additional facilities afforded by
having at their disposal places where
they can rest and replenish their sup
plies
apparently on these grounds. the all
lied governments hold that Submarine
vessels must be excluded from the ben
ell OF the rules heretofore accepted I'M
Ger international law regarding the ad-
mission and sojourn Of war and mer-
chant vessels in neutral waters. road
steads or harbors; any submarine of a:
Delligerent that once enters a neutral
narbor must be held there and, there
fore. the allied governments warn neu-
trail powers of the great danger to neu-
trail submarines attending the naviga-
ton Of waters visited by the submarines
Of belligerents.'
I'm reply the government of the
United States must express it's SURPRISE
that there seems to be an endeayor Of
the allied powers to determine>the rule
OF action governing what they regard
as novel situation in respect to the
use OF submarines in time of war and
20 ENFORCE acceptance of that rule. at
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1916-10-11

least in part by warning neutral pow
er of the great danger to their SUBJ
marines In waters that may be visited
by belligerent submarines
I'm the opinion Of the government Of
the United States the Allied powers have
not set forth any circumstances, nor Is
the government of the United States at
present aware of any circumstances con-
corning the use Of war or merchant SUBJ
marines which would render the existing
rules Of international law inapplicable to
them.
I'm view Of this fact and of the notice
and warning of the Allied powers an
nounced In their memoranda under ac-
acknowledgement, it is incumbent upon the
government of the United States to noti-
fy the governments of France. Great Bril-
tain. Russia and Japan that, so far as
the treatment of either war or merchant
submarines in American waters is con-
cerned. the government of the United
States reserves it's liberty of action in all
respects and will treat such vessels as,
in its opinion, becomes teh action of a
power which may be said to have taken
the first steps toward establishing the
principles Of neutrality and which for
over a century has maintained those prin-
ciples in the traditional spirit and with
the high sense of impartiality in which
they were conceived.
I'm order. however, that there should be
no misunderstanding as to the attitude Of
the United States. the government Of the
United States announces to the Allied
hat hr1I <n 6a he 1,,txy of
belligerent powers to distinguish between
submarines of neutral and belligerent ma
tionality and that responsibility for any
conflict that may arise between belliger-
ent warshps and neutral submarines on
account Of the neglect of belligerent to
so distinguish between these classes Of
submarines must rest entirely upon the
belligerent power"
