Berlin Says Submarine
Kept Within the Law
BY Associated Press. }

BERLIN, Oct 10-(By Wireless to
the Associated Press, via Tuckerton,
Oct 1.-THE German submarine cam
paign off the American coast, accord
ing to the firm conviction in admiralty
and foreign Office circles undoubtedly
is being conducted in full accordance
with the recognized rules of cruiser
warfare and with the German under
takings toward the United States not
to sink ships without warming, and
without making adequate provisions for
the safety of the passengers and crews
The decision of the American court in
the case of the British steamer APP
pam which was awarded to her British
owners after being taken into NOrfoik
by a German prize crew makes it i'm
practicable to send prizes into Amer
lean ports.
Submarine commanders therefore
have no option except to destroy them
1t is assumed here that the American
government has 20 ground for objec-
ton to the Operations of submarines in
such proximity TO the American coast
since the German warships are merely
following the example of Great Britain
and her allies which have kept watch
off the American coast.
