Washington. May 6.-The note of
the German government in reply to
the American note respecting subma-
rine warfare is as follows:
THE undersigned, on behalf of the
German imperial government, has the
honor to present to his excellency, the
ambassador to Germany of the United
States, the Hon James w. Gerard, the
following reply to the note of April
10 regarding the conduct of German
submarine e warfare:
THE German government handed
over to the proper naval authorities
for further investigation evidence con
Cerning the Sussex as communicated
by the government of the United
States.
Judging from the results that in
formation already yielded the German
government is alive to the possibility
that the ship mentioned in the note
of April 10 as torpedoed by German
submarine is actually identical will
the Sussex.
THE German government begs t
reserve further comments on the com
munication until further points are as
certained, which are of decisive impor
tance in establishing the facts of thu
case
Should it turn out the commands
was wrong in assuming the vessel Il
be a man-of-war the German govern
ment will not fail to draw the conse
quences resulting therefrom.

REPUDIATEs ASSERTION.

"In connection with the case CT the
Sussex the government of the United
States made a series of statements,
the incident is to be considered but
one incident of a deliberate method OF
indiscriminate destruction of vessels
of all sorts, nationalities and destina-
tions by German submarine comman.
ders.
THE German government must EN-.
phatically repudiate the assertion. The
German government, however, thinks
it of little avail to enter into the de-
tails of the present status. inasmuch
as the government of the United States
omitted to substantiate the assertion
by reference to concrete facts.
THE German government will only
state that ii has imposed farreaching
restraints upon the use OF the subma'
rine warfare solely in consideration OF
neutrals' interests in spite of the face
that these restrictions necessarily
were of advantage to Germany's enc
mics No such consideration has ever
been shown neutrals by Great Britain
and her allies.
ORDERS GIVEN IN GOOD FAITH

in fact, orders to conduct submarine
warfare in accordance with the gen

GERMANY NOT lNHUMAN.

THE German government attaches
ciples of humanity than does the gov
ernment Of the United States. IL
again fully takes into account that
both governments for many years
have co-operated in developing the
international law in conformity with
these principles, the ultimate object of
which has always been to confine
warfare on sea and land to the armed
forces of belligerents and to safe
guard as far as possible noncombat-
ants against the horrors of war
I'm answer to the appeal of the gov
ernment of the United States on be-
half of the sacred principles of hu-
manity and international law the Ger
man government must repeat once
more with all emphasis that ii is not
| the German government but the Brit
ish government which, by ignoring all
the accepted rules of international
| law, extends this terrible war to the
lives and property of noncombatants
| having no regard whatever for the In.
| terests and rights of neutrals and non
combatants, which through this meth
cd of warfare have been severely in
jured. In self-defense against the IL
legal conduct of British warfare, while
fighting a bitter struggle for national
existence, Germany had to resort tc
the hard but effective weapon of sub
| marina warfare

Leavened by New Order.

A first feeling that it was unsatis
factory was somewhat leayened y
the text OF the new orders to subma.
rine commanders. although it was foe
seen that the reference to immunity
for merchant ships recognized by in
ternational law might admit of dis
pLte of Interpretation.
Sweeping all the verbiage of the
note aside. the fact stands out that
Germany has ordered her submarine
and other naval commanders to recog
nize the principles of visit and search
not to sink without warning and not
to sink without first saving human
lives. unless the ship attempts to es.
cape or offers resistance"
There are indications the United
States will accept this as a declara
tion of change in submarine methods
and as a substantial compliance with
this cOuntry's demands.
