forces of the belligerents. and that
IL is determined 10 impose upon all
its commanders at sea the limitations
OF the recognized rules of interna-
tional law upon which the government
OF the United States has insisted.
Throughout the months which
have elapsed since the imperial gov

"1he government OF the United States
feels il necessary to state that II takes
it Tor granted that the Imperial German
Government does not intend TO imply
that the maintenance OF its newly an
nounced policy IS in any way contingent
upon the course or result OF diplomatic
negotiations between the government Of
the United States aud any other bellig-
erent government. notwithstanding the
fact that certain passages in the imper-

avoid any possible misunderstanding the

6es the imperial government that II can

discuss. suggestion that respect by
German naval authorities for the rights
of citizens Of the United States upon

the slightest degree be made contingent
upon the conduct Of any other govern

Secretary Lansing's Statement.
Mr.. Lansing's statement made
public after the note was on its way
to Berlin follows:
"The greater part OF the German
answer is devoted to matters which
this government cannot discuss with
: the German government. The only
questions Of right which can be dis
cussed with that government are
those arising out OF its action or out
OF our own. and in no event those
questions which are the subject Of
/ diplomatic exchanges between the
/ United States and any other country.
"The essence OF the answer is that
/ Germany yields to our representations
with regard 10 the rights OF merchant
ships and nOn-combatants on the
high seas and engages to observe
the recognized rules Of international
j law governing naval warfare in using
her submarines against merchant
ships. So long as she lives up to this
altered policy we can have no reason
IN quarrel with her on that score,
though the losses resulting from the
violation Of American rights by Ger
man submarine commanders operat-
ing under the former policy will have
10 be settled. 81, 90
aWhile our differences with Grea
Britain cannot form a subject Of discus
sion with Germany Il should be state,
that in our dealings with the Britisl
government we are acting, as We ar
nnquestionably bound to act in view o
the explicit treaty engagements wit
that government. We have treaty oh
legations as to the manner in whic
matters in dispute between the two gov
crnments arc to be handled. We oilere
TO assume mutually similar obligation
