Fragments fell from fifty to sixty

Berlin Government Cites English
Breaches of Neutral Rights at Sea
in Message to America-De-

Washington, March 10.-Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
en- instructions from his government,
handed to Secretary Lansing on
Wednesday a long memorandum ex-
planning in detail the German position
in regard to armed merchant ships and
the causes leading up to the decision
of the central European powers to tor
pedO without warning all armed mer-
chantmen of their enemies.
The memorandum contains the ale
CATION that Great Britain had taken
advantage of the contention of the
United States that Americans must be
safe on defensively armed merchant
men, to have those ships act often
sively towards enemy submersibles.
The German government expresses
a willingness to operate its submarines
in accordance with international law
prevailing prior to the war, provided
Great Britain does not violate the
same laws.
The German government comedies
of warfare, international law as at
present constituted makes no provi-
sion for their use.
The memorandum contends that the
evidence appended to the late German
announcement proves that British
ships armed ostensibly for defense
have been instructed to act, and have
acted extensively, and that they are
not peaceful traders, as the United
States was assured they would be by
Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British am
baSsador
The memorandum also reiterates the
previous declaration that submarine
warfare was begun by Germany in re-
prisal for the announced intention OF
Great Britain to starve the civilian
population of the central empires.
The memorandum also refers to the
lODg-standing friendship between the
United States and Germany, and ex-
presses the hope that the American
people will, when familiar with tie
explanation offered, fully appreciate
the position in which Germany finds
herself as a result of the blockade.
By way of supporting the contention
that Germany's reprisals are JUSTIFIED,
the memorandum enumerates various
actions of Great Britain, which have
operated against the interests of neu-
trails and their citizens. These are
cited to show that Great Britain has
violated international law.
