Misunderstanding Alleged.
Throughout tho note emphasis was
laid on tho fact that the American eX-
petition was undertaken under mis-
understanding. Although acting in
good faith. the declaration il made that
the United States hal interpreted the
first note of the de fac'o government
as efectng a definite agreement be-

that no expedition should he sent into
Mexico until terms and conditions rela

more as this Government has ex-
plicitly declared itself ready to use
the submarine in strict conform
lty with the rules of international
law as recognized before the out
break of the war, if Great Britain
will likewise adapt her conduct of
the war to these rules.
Several attempts made by the
Government of the United States
to prevail upon the British Gov
ernment to act accordingly Gin ac-
cordance with the principles of
international law failed because
of the fiat refusal on the part Of
England
Moreover, Great Britain, ever
since the beginning of the war,
again and again violated inter-
national law, surprising all
bounds i'll outraging neutral
rights. The latest measure adopt
ed by Great Britain in declaring
German bunker coal contraband
and establishing conditions under
which only English banker coal
can be supplied to neutrals is
nothing but an unhcard of at
nothing but an unheard of at
tempt, by way of the exaction of
force, to- compel tonnage to enter

GERMAN REPLY

Continued from First Page.)
a greater part of the accidents
that American citizens have met
with. In the meantime the Ger
man Government still stands bv
its offer to come to an agreement
along these lines.
The German Government has
repeatedly declared it can not dis
pense with the use of the sub
marine weapon in the conduct of
warfare against enemy trade.
The German Government, how
ever, has now decided to make
further concessions, adapting the
methods of submarine warfare to
the interests of the neutral. In
reaching this decision the Ger
man Government was actuated
| by considerations which are
above the level of the questions
in dispute.
The German Government at
taches no less importance to the
sacred principles of humanity
than the Government of the
United States Again, it fully
takes into account the fact that
both governments German and
American have for years Coop
Grated in developing International
law in conformity with these prin-
ciples (of humanity. The object
has been always to confne war
fare on both sea and land to arm
ed forces of belligerents and safe
guard as far as possible noncom-
batants against the horrors of
war
But, while these considerations
are OF great weight, they alone,
under the present circumstances
would not by themselves have de-
termlncd the attitude of the Ger
man government.
In answer to the appeal by the
Government of the United States
on behalf of the sacred principles
OF humanity and International
law, the German Government
must repeat once more with all
the emphasis at its command that
1t was not the German but the
British Government which, ignor-
ing all the accepted rules of inter
national law, extended this ter
rlble war to the lives and prop
erty OF noncombatants, having
no regard whatever for the inter
ests and rights of neutrals and
noncombatants that, through this
method of warfare, have been Sc
Vcrcly injured.
In self-defense against the IL
legal conduct of warfare by the
British, and while fighting a bit
ter struggle for her very national
existence, Germany has had to re-
sort to the hard but effective wea-
pom of submarine warfare.
AS matters stand, the German
Government can not but reiterate
that the sentiments of humanity,
which the Government of the
United States extends with such
tervor to victims of submarine
warfare, are not extended with
the same warmth of feeling to
ninety millions of women and
children who, according to the
aVoWed intentions of the British
Government shall be starved and
who, BY suffering, shall force the
victorious armies of the Central
Powers into ignominious capitu-
lation.
The German Government, in
agreement with Gas we'll as) the
German people, fails to under
stan dthis discrimination All +he
