respecting delivered Amba.do
Gerard by Foreign Secretary Jasow
The undersigned, behalf of the Imperial German
Government has the honor to present to his EXcelency the
Ambassador to the United States Mr. James W. Gerard the
following reply to the note of April 20 regarding the
duct of German submarine warfare.
The German Government handed to the proper
naval authorities for further investigation evidence concern
the Sussex communicated by the Government of the
United States Judging by the results that investigation ht
erto yielded the German Government alive to the posi-
blty that the ship mentioned in the of April 10 tor
pedOed by German submarine actually identical with the
Sussex.
The German Government begs to reserve further
municatons the matter until certain points ascertaned
which of decisive Importance for establishing the facts
OF the case Should 1t turn out that the commander was
wrong assuming the vessel to be man-otwar the German
Government will fail draw the consequences resulting
therefrOm.
Repudiates Sussex Assertions
In with the of the Sussex. the Govern
United States made of statements the
gist which the assertion that the incident be
sdered but instance of deliberate method of ndcrim
destruction of vessels of all sorts natonaes and des
natons by German submarine commanders. The German
Government emphatcally repudiate the assertion
The German Government. however, thinks it of little
avail details in the present of affairs
particularly the of the United States omitted
TO the assertion by reference to concrete facts
The German Government will only state that has imposed
far reaching upon the of the submarine
solely consideration of neuras interests spite of the fact
that these restrictions are necessarily of advantage to Ger
manys enemies.
No such consideration has been shown neurals by
Great Britain and her Allies.

conduct the submarine warfare accordance general

conduct of naval warfare against enemy resortng all
kinds of ruses. whether permissible or illicit.
But apart from the possibility of errors naval warfare
Just like land warfare implies unavoidable dangers for
tra and goods entering the fighting Even in
cases where naval action is confined to ordinary forms of
cruiser warfare neutral and goods repeatedly
to grief
The German Government has repeatedly and explicitly
pointed the dangers mines they have led to the
loss of numerous ships The German Government made
era proposals to the Government of the United States in
order to reduce to the minimum for American travellers
and goods the inherent dangers of naval warfare CnfOru
natey the Government of the United States decided not to
accept the proposals. Had accepted the Government OF
the United States would have been in preventing
the greater of the accidents that American citizens have
met with meantime. The German Government still stands by
its offer to come to an agreement along these lines
AS the German Government has repeatedly declared
cannot dispense with the of submarines in
the conduct of warfare against trade The German
Government. however has decided to make further
concession adapting the methods of submarine warfare
the interests of neutra In reaching this decision the Ger
man Government is actuted by considerations which
above the level of the disputed question.
Sacred Principles of Humanity.
The German Government attaches no less importance to
the sacred principles of humanity than the Government of the
United States. again takes fully into account that both
for many years have cooperaed in developing
international law in conformity with these principles the
ultimate object of which has always been conne warfare
and land to the armed forces of the begents and
safeguard far possible noncombatants against the
horrors But although these considerations great
weight they alone would under the present
have determined the attitude of the German Government
In to the appeal by the Government of the United
behalf of the sacred principles of humanity and
international law the German Government must
with all emphasis that il not the German Govern
but the British Government which, by ignoring all the
accepted rules international law extended this terrible
the lives and property of noncombaans having regard
whatever for the interests and rights of neuras and
combatants which through this method of warfare have been
severely injured In sefdetence against the illegal conduct
of British warfare. while fighting bitter struggle for
ton existence Germany had to to the hard but eec
tive weapon OF submarine warfare.
AS matters stand the German Government cannot but
that the sentiments of humanity which

BELIEVES CANAL
 TOTAL FAILURE
tBy Julius Chambers )

Gen. Goethals is returning to the United States. and a rumor is current that he will not go back to the isth-
 mus. The meaning of this report, if true, is not difficult to guess. People with whom have talked, re- gently from Panama and Colon, assure me that the canal cannot be described as open" Small steamers can make the passage without hindrance, but vessels drawing twenty feet of water cannot get through. Many slides" are not reported. The fact is. they are occurring constantly.
 An opinion expressed to be by an engineer of national reputation. never in any way associated with the canal. but a recent visitor thereto. on his re- turn from a business trip to the west coast of South America. is that the final solution of this great undertak- ing must be a sea level waterway. He commented very unfayorably upon the durability of the Gatum dam, which is wonderful engineering triumph. When one remembers that 1t is hold ing up, eighty feet in the air. a lake fully one-third the size of Long Is land sound, anxiety regarding it's stab ility must be constant. The slightest leak. uudetectad and unchecked will destroy it.

Katmai. the tremendous volcano on She!ikoG strait. in Alaska, has at once
 saiaed new fame for itself and upset the general rule among volcanoes. An
 investigator for the American Geo
 graphic society. who has succeeded in !. reachinv the crater. pronounces the
 vent Of the fire mountain one Of the largest in the world
 Katmai was already famous for one of the greatest and most violent erupyioas of historic times, the explo- ! siye outbursts of June. 1912. which buried the country for 250 miles around under several feet of debris. ] absolutely shut out the sun from a : greater part of Alaska for the whole summer, and sent such an enormous quantity Of fine ash high into the at mosphere that some of it settled in northern Africa.
 Now. the scientist. Robert F. Griggs who has just reached Kodiak from the first visit to the mountain. says that the resulting crater is miles across and thousands of feet deep. with a spu,teriHg lake at the bottom.
 These two facts in conjunction are wholly unusual in modern volcanic history Concentration has been sup posed 10 have accounted for much of the violence of their outoursts. Mont Pelee had crater only 2,5o0 feet in diameter. the Soufriere Of St Vincent and Y-esuyius have small craters. That os Krakatoa on the Sunda straits, which had in 1888 the only other re- cent eruption comparable in magni- cude to that Of katmai. was only moderate crater.
 The great craters. like those of -he Hawaiian volcanoes, are ordinar- fly only huge simmery cauldrons Of lava. without explosive tendencies. The largest Of them all, Haleakla, on -he island Of Maui, with a bowl % miles in circumference. has never, so far as is known. shown symptoms of violence.
