government must repeat once more,

of neutrals and non-combatants that
through this method of warfare have

the present stage of affairs. more par
ticularly as the government of the
United States omitted to substantiate
the assertion by reference to concrete
! facts.
"The German government WI only
state that it has imposed far-reachng
restraints upon the use of tn" sub
marine weapon solely in consideration
of neutraIs' interests, in spite of the
fact that these restrictions are neces-
sarily of advantage to Germany's
enemies. No such consideration has
ever been shown neutrals by Great
Britain and her allies.
The German submarine forces have
had, in fact, orders to conduct the sub
marine warfare in accordance with the
general principles of visit and search
and the destruction of merchant yes
sells recognized by international law
the sole exception being the conduct of
warfare against enemy trade carried
on enemy freight ships encountered in
the war zone surrounding Great Brit
ain. With regard to these no assur-
ances have ever been given to the gov
ernment of the United States No such
assurances are contained in the dec
laration of February s. 1916"
