government of the United States has the power to confine the war to arm ed forces of the bellgerent countries in the interest of humanity and maintainance of international law. Tie government of the United States would have been certain of attaining this end had it been determined to insist against Great Britain on the in- controyertible rights to freedom of the seas. But as matters stand the German people are under the impress sion that the government of the Unit cd States, while demanding that Gel : many. struggling for existence shali restrain. the Use of an effective wea

United States were to take turn ser iously threatening maintenance of peace between the two nations.
 AS far as lies with the German government, it wishes to prevent things from taking such a course. The Ger man government moreover, is prepared to do it's utmost to confine operations of the war for the rest of it's duration to the fighting forces of the belliger- ents, there or by also insuring freedom of the seas, a principle upon which the German government believes, now as before, that it is in agreement with the government of the United States.
 The Concession
 ''The German government guided by this idea, notifies the government of the United States that German naval forces have received the following or, der: 'Lu accordance with the general principles of visit and search and the destruction of merchant vessels recog- nized by international law such .ves- sels both within and without the area 1 declared naval war zone, shall not be sunk without warning and without saving human lives unless the ship at- tempt to escape or offer resistances.
 But neutrals cannot expect that

Germany forced to fight for existence shall for the sake of neutral interests restrict the use of an effective weapon if the enemy is permitted to continue to apply at will methods of warfare
 violating rules of international law. Such a demand would be incompatible with the character of neutrality and
 the German government is convinced
 that the government of the United
 States does not think of making such
 a demand knowing that the govern ment of the United States repeatedly
 declared that it is it's intention to re-
 store the principles of freedom of the
 seas, from whatever quarter it has
 been violated.
 Accordingly. the German govern mcnt is confident that in consequence of the new orders issued to the naval forces the government of the United States will also now consider all im- 2cdiments removed which may have been in the way of mutual cooperation toward restoration of the freedom of the seas during the war, as suggested l in the note of July 23 1915 and it does not doubt that the government of the United States will now demand and insist that the British government
Arizona republican., 1916-05-06

shall forthwith observe the rules of international law universally recog- nized before the war as are laid down in the notes presented by the govern ment of the United States to the Brit isn government December 2S, 1914, and Nov. ,, 1915.
 should the steps taken by the gov ernment of the United States not at tain the object it desires, to have the laws of humanity followed by all bel ligerent nations. the German govern ment would then be facing a new stu ation in which it must reserve to it. self complete liberty of decision.
 The undersigned avails itself of this opportunity to renew to the American ambassador assurances of it's highest consideration
 The German memorandum of Feb ruary s. referred to in the above dis patch was addressed to the neutral n.. tions and declared that after Febru- ary 29 Germany would consider all armed merchantmen belonging to countries at war with Germany as warships and that such vessels would be treated accordingly and sunk with out warning.

meet the same hearty response from the German people which such an ap- peal otherwise always is certain to find here. If the German government nevertheless is resolved to go to the utmost limit of concessions it has been guided not alone by the friendship con- meeting the two great nations for over one hundred years, but also by the thought of the great doom which threatens the entire civilized world should the cruel and sanguinary war be extended and prolonged.
 If Peace is Threatened
 "The German government, conscious of Germany's strength, twice within the last few months announced before the world it's readiness to make peace on basis safeguarding Germany's vital interests, thus indicating that it is not Germany's fault if peace is still with held from the nations of Europe. The German government feels all the more justified in declaring that responsible ity could not be borne before the for um of mankind and in history if after twenty -one months of the wars dur ation the submarine question under | discussion between the German gov eminent and the government of the

minious exploitation. The German government in agreement with the Ger man people fails to understand this discrimination all the more as it has repeatedly and explicitly declared itself ready to use the submarine weapon in strict conformity with the rules of in- tcrnational laws as recognized before the outbreak of the war if Great Brit ain likewise was ready to adapt the cOndrct of warfare to these rules
 Several attempts made by the gov ernment of the United States to pre- vail on the British government to act accordingly failed because of the flat refusal on the part of the British government Moreover Great Britain ! again and again has violated inter- national law, surpassng all bounds in outraging neutral rights. The latest measure. adopted by Great Britain declaring German bunker coal contra band and establishing conditions un- der which English bunker coal alone is supplied to neutrals is nothing bui an unheard of attempt by way of ex. | action to force neutral tonnage into the service of British trade war

As the German government has re- peatedly declared. it cannot dispense with the use of the submarine weapon in the conGuct of warfare against en- emy trade. The German government. however, has now decided to make a further concession, adapting methods of submarine war 10 the interests of ncutrals
 'Ir reaching this decision the Ger man government is actuated by con alterations which are above the level of the disputed question.
 Once more, with all emphasis, that it was not the German. but the British government which ignored ali accepted rules of international law and extended this terrible war to the lives and prop crty of non -combatants, having no re- gard whatever for the interests and rights of neutrals, and non- -coIatbants hat through this method of warfare have been severely injured
