BRITISH MAKE REPLY
TO THE GER MAN NOTE
Disclaimer Of ANY Further Intention
to Discuss General Charges Of
Germany's Warfare.
SANK ARABIC WITHOUT WARN

LONDON. March S.--The British
reply TO the German note sent
through the American embassy at
Berlin the middle OF January, reject
ing the British governments offer
for an investigation OF the Baralong
case by a court composed OF Ameri-
can naval officers and announcing
Germany's intention to adopt meas
ures Of reprisal, was issued tonight.
II is for transmission TO Ambassador
Gerard at Berlin, through Walter
Hines Page, the American ambassa-
dor in London.
The Baralong, a British patrol
boat, last fall sank a German sub
marine and allegations we're made
that men from the Baralong after
ward killed members of the German
submarine crew while they were in
the water or aboard the American
steamer Nicosian, which had picked
them up.
The British government dlsclaims any
intention TO further discuss its general
charges Of the inhumanity Of Germany's
sea warfare. which IL holds have been
amply proved.
Contrary 10 Evidence.
Commenting on 0er1nany's statement
that its officers had been acquitted OF all
blame after n thorough examination In
three cases which Great Britain asked
Germany to refer with the Baralong case
70 an American naval board-the sinking
OF the White Star liner Arabic. the de-
structlon Of a stranded British submarine
by a German destroyer. and the German
submarine attack on the British steam
ship Ruel-the note says the German YER
sion Of the sinking OF the Arabic not only
Is inherently improbable, but directly con-
trary TO all evidence the British govern
ihent possesses from a large number OF
independent and trustworthy witnesses
What Is the counter evidence on which
tho German government relles7' says the
note.
HAS the captain of the submarine been
tried for murder7 Has he even been &C
cuBed OF any deed which in German eyes
IL not meritorious7 II. as his majesty's
government believes. he sank tho Arabic
without warning, does the German gov
world as TO treat that action as a crime?
II they do. why should they hesitate TO
condemn the sinking Of tho Lusltania? II
they do not. why investigate the case OF
the Arahic?"
The Lie e. Passed.
The note says the British government
finds II difficult to believe the German
version OF the attack on the submarine
stranded on the Danish coast was based
on the report of any responsible German
officer.
In any case" tho note continues, 'it
Is wholly untrue. There was no engage
ment. Tho British submarine had been
-four hours on shore before the German
destroyers attacked IT, It's crew in en-
deavoring 10 save themselves were shot at
In the water by machine guns and shrap-
mel. This incident took place in the pres
ence of Danish destroyers. II can be
proved by super-abundant testimony, both
British and neutral What value after
this are, we TO rate a thorough investiga-
tion,' ms thoroughness is practiced by the
German authorities2"
