BRITISH EMBASSY
. 4 DENIES CHARGES
Challenges Substantially Ev-
cry Accusation Made in Ger
man Memorandum.

Vigorously challenging every
substantial charge against Great
Britain obtained in the German
memorandum submitted to Secre-
tary Lansing yesterday by Count
Won Bernstorff. the British en-
bassy today issued statement
which. in substance, makes it ap-
pear. first. that although Germany
asserts that her submarine war
fare was in retaliation for Brit
ish violations of international law,
many OF the German transgres-
sions were committed long be
lore the British had issued the
orders in council or committed
any other act WHICH even the Ger
mans alleged was in violation OF
law.
Also it is shown that one oil
the reasons the British refused to
accept the declaration OF London
regarding maritime warfare was
because the Germans had insisted
upon having embodied a provision
in the declaration that would
have recognized the right of an
enemy to prevent the civilian
population OF country from re-
ceiving food which was to be
treated as contraband.
The British Statement.
The British statement issued today
is as follows:
According to the German statement,
German submarine warfare was en-
forced on February Is. 1915. as an act
of reprisal against illegal acts of Great
Britain.
THE Admiral Ganteaume, with 1000
unarmed refugees on board. mostly
women and children. was torpedoed
and sunk by German submarine on
vessels were torpedoed without notice
on January 80, and the British hospi-
tai ship Asturias fred at with a torpedo
on February l.
THE illegal acts complained of are
apparently the non-acceptance of the
London convention of 1909 the en-
Iargement of the list of contraband,
theh warning to merchantmen as to
mines in the North sea and the cap
ture of the Wilhelmina with foodstuffs
on February 9.
THE declaration of London of 1909
was never ratified by the British gov
ernment, and was never binding on
them. One of the reasons of the non
ratification of the convention was the
claim of the German government as to
the right to treat foodstuffs as contra :
band.
"The enlargement of the list of con-
traband is an acknowledged belliger-
ent right: the warning to merchant YES
sells in November was due to the fact
| that the Germans had sown mines in
the high seas resulting in the destruc-
| tion of many innocent merchant ves-
| sels foreign as well as British The
Wilhelmina. with a cargo of foodstuffs
| for Hamburg, was only stopped after
| the German cruisers had destroyed the
Dutch vessel Maria (September, 1910
and the Frye (January. 1879. which
were conveying grain from California
! to Ireland"
