TEXT OF BERLIN NOTE
ON SUBMARINE ISSUE

BERLIN, April 13.-The following
is the text of the German note in re-
ply to the inquiries Of the United
States on the steamship Sussex and
other vessels which recently met dis
aster in the war zone:
"The undersigned has the honor to
inform your EXcellency, Ambassador
Gerard, in response to communica-
tions of the Goth and 30th ultimo and
the Sd instant regarding the steam
ers Sussex, Manchester Engineer,
Englishman, Berwindvale and Eagle
Point, that the mentioned cases, in
accordance with our notes of the 30th
and 31st ultimo and the 4th and 9Th
instant, have been subjected to care
full investigation by the Admiralty
staff of the Navy, which has led to
the following results:
"First. The English steamer Ber-
windvale. A steamer which was pos
sibly the Berwindvale was encoun-
tered on the evening of March 16 in
sight of Bull Rocklight, on the Irish
coast, by German submarine. The
steamer, as soon as she noticed the
submarine, which was running unsub-
merged, turned and steamed away.
She was ordered to halt by a warn
ing shot.
"She paid no attention, however, to
this warning, but extinguished all
lights and attempted to escape. The
vessel was then fired upon until
halted, and, without further orders,
lowered several boats. After the
crew entered the boats and received
enough time to row away the ship was
sunk.
"The name of this steamer was not
established; it cannot be stated with
assurance, even with the help of the
details which were furnished by the
American Embassy, that the above de-
scribed incident concerns the steamer
Berwindvale. Since, however, the
steamer sunk was a tank steame
like the Berwindvale, the identity of
the ships may be assumed. In this
case, however, the statement made
that the Berwindvale was torpedoed
without warning would conflict with
the facts.
Another Ship Refused to Halt
"Second. The British steamer
Englishman. This steamer, on March
"a, was called upon to halt by Ger
man submarine, through two warning
shots, about 20 sea miles west of
Islaye (Hebrides). The vessel pro-
ceeded, however, without needing the
warning, and was, therefore, forced by
the submarine, by artillery fire, to halt
after an extended chase; whereupon
she lowered boats without further
orders
"After the German commandant
had convinced himself that the crew
had taken to the boats and rowed
from the ship, he sank the steamer.
"Third. The British steamer Man
chester Engineer, 1t is impossible to
establish through the investigation up
to the present whether the attack on
this steamer, which, according to the,
given description, occurred on March
27, in the latitude of Waterford, is at
tributable to a German submarine

channel, on a course about in the direc-
tion of lie Havrc.
Declares Munitions Were on Board
Consequently, he attacked the YES
sci at 3:55 in the afternoon, middle
European time, one and one-half sea
miles east of Bull Rock (Bullock?)
bank, the submarine being submerged.
The torpedo struck and caused such
n violent explosion in the forward
part Of the ship that the entire for
ward part was torn away to the
bridge.
IWhen the Sussex was hit on March
81, according to the French official re-
port. her clocks stopped at . 80 u. m.
western European time-that Is, so
p. m, mid-Europcan time. The differ
euce between the French and German
reports, therefore, on the question of
time IS five minutes.
The German note says the vessel
admittedly attacked had not gone
north of the DuuEcncss buoys hut
was in midchanneL apparently bound
for HaVrc. The French official report
says that the Sussex left Folkcstone
at 1925 p, m. and was stcaming at l6
knots south Of Dungcness when the
torpedo hit her. This would put her in
midchanucl between Dungeness Eng
land. and Cape Aprcch. France.
The entire forward part of the Sus-
sex was torn away.l
The particularly violent explosion
warrants the certain conclusion that
great amounts of munitions were
aboard.
"The German commander made a
sketch of the vessel attacked by him,
two drawings of which are inclosed.
The picture of the steamer Sussex,
two copies of which are also inclosed,
is reproduced photographically from
the English paper, the Daily Graphic,
Of the 9th ultimo.
"a comparison of the sketch and
the picture shows that the craft at
lacked is not identical with the Sus-
sex; the difference in the position of
the stack and shape of the stern is
particularly striking.
German Responsibility Denied
"No other attack whatever by Ger
man submarines at the time in ques-
ton for the Sussex upon the route
between Folkestone and Dieppe oc-
cured The German Government
must therefore assume that the in
jury to the Sussex is attributable to
another cause than an attack by
German submarine"
"For an explanation of the case the
fact may perhaps be serviceable that
no less than 26 English mines were
exploded by shots by German naval
forces in the channel on the LIST and
2d of April alone, The entire sea
in that vicinity is, in fact, endan-
gered by floating mines and by tor
pedoes that have not sunk. of the
English coast it is further endangered
in an increasing degree through Ger
man mines, which have been laid
against enemy naval forces.
"Should the American Govern
ment have at its disposal further
material for a conclusion upon the
case of the Sussex, the German Gov
ernment would ask that it be COM
municated, in order to subject this
material also to an investigation.
an the event that differences of !
opinion should develop hereby be-
tween the two Governments, the Ger
man Government now declares itself !
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1916-04-13

place of the incident gives no suffi-
cient basis for investigation. 1t would,
therefore, be desirable to have more
exact statements of the place, time
and attendant circumstances of the
attack reported by the American Gov
ernment in order that the matter
might, therefore, be brought to a con-
clusion.
Fourth. The British steamer
Eagle Point. This steamer, in the
forenoon of March rs, was called upon
to halt by German submarine
through signal and shot, about 100
not 13O-sea miles from the southwest
coast of Ireland, but proceeded. She
was thereupon fired upon until halted,
and, without further orders, lowered
two boats, in which the crew took their
places. After the commandant con-
WINGED himself that the boats, which
had hoistcd sails, had gotten clear of
the steamer, he sank that vessel.
cat the time of the sinking a north
northwest wind of the strength of two
knots, not "a storm wind and a light
swell, not "a heavy sea-, as stated in
the given description, prevailed. The
boats, therefore, had every prospect
of being picked up very quickly, be-
cause the place of the sinking lay on
a much-used steamer path.
"If the crew of the steamer used
only two small boats for saving them
selves, the responsibility falls upon
themselves, since there were still upon
the steamer, as the submarine could
establish, at least four big collapsible
boats.
The Case of the Sussex
Fifth. The French steamer Sus-
sex. Ascertainment of the Fact
whether the Channel steamer Sussex
was damaged by German submarine
was rendered extremely difficult be-
cause no exact details of time, place
and attendant circumstances of the
sinking were known and also because
it was impossible to obtain a picture
OF the ship before April s. Conse-
gently, the investigation had TO be
extended to all actions undertaken on
the day in question-March 24--in
the Channel in the general region be-
tween Folkestone and Dieppe.
"In this region, on March "a, a long,
black craft, without a flag, having a
gray funnel, small gray forward
works and two high masts, was en-
countered about middle of the English
Channel by German submarine. The
German commander reached the def
milton that it was war vessel, and,
indeed, mine layer of the recently
built English Arabic class. He was
led to the conviction by the following
facts:
First, by the plain. unbroken
deck of the ship; second, the form
of the stern, sloping downward and
backward like war vessel; third, she
was painted like war vessel; fourth,
the high speed developed, about IS
knots; fifth, the circumstance that the
vessel did not keep a course north
ward of the light buoys between Dun
.geness and Beachy Head, which, ac-
SoArding to the frequent and unvarying
of German submarines, il

PETROGRAD, tVia LOndon) Feb. 26. The Russlly Invalid, the official or gan of the Russian army, published to- day an account of the war council held i'll Berlin at which the decision to at tack Nerdun was taken. It asserts that the German and Bavarian crown princes strongly favored an attack on the French front at Nerdun, but that both Field Marshal Won Mackensen and Field Marshal Non Heindenburg opposed the plan, cOntendinS that it would be better to develop the opera tions already planned against the Rus sian front because it would be neces- Sary, if the plan of the princes was adopted, to send to France reserves especially trained for Russian war fare.
 Further, Field Marshall Von Hind enburS is reported to have said that the chances of success on the Russian front were greater. He is declared to have had little hope of the operations against Nerdun and to have feared an
