Memorandum Prepared by
Germany Before Wilson's
Peace Speech Was Delivered

Washington, Feb. IA second
memorandum delivered Yesterday
with the German note was made pub
lie late today by the state department.
1t differs in some respects from the
substance of the note itself. The un-
derstanding is that 1t was prepared at
the German embassy on instructions
from Berlin prior to President Will
sons peace address to the senate and
withheld then on account of the ad-
dress. When Count Won Bernstorff
received the note and memorandum
yesterday from Berlin, he decided to
deliver with them the original docu-
ments prepared by him.
Original Note
After bluntly refusing Germany's
pc; ce offer, the entente powers stated
In their note addressed to the Ameri-
can government. that they are deter
mined to continife the war in order to
deprive Germany of German provin-
ces in the west and east. to destroy
Austria Hungary and to annihilate
Turkey. In waging war with such
aims. the entente allies are violating
all rules of international law, as they
prevent the legitimate trade of
neutrals with the central powers, and
OF the neutrals among themselves.
Germany has, so far, not made un.
restricted use OF the weapon which
she possessed in her submarines Since
the entente powers, however, have
made it impossible to come to an un-
derstanding based upon equality of
rights of all nations. as proposed by
the central powers, and have instead
declared only such peace to be pos
sible which shall be dictated by the
entente allies and shall result in the
destruction and the humiliation of the
central powers, Germany is unable
further to forego the full use of her
submarines.
Forced on Germany.
THE imperial government, there
fore, does not doubt that the govern

ment Of the United States will UNDER
stand the situation thus forced upon
Germany by the entente allies brutal
methods of war and that the govern
ment Of the United States will further
realize that the now openly disclosed
intention OF the entente allies gives
back to Germany the freedom Of ac-
ton which she reserved in her note
addressed to the government Of the
United States on May 1. 1916.
All To BE Sunk.
Under these circumstances Ger
many will meet the Nillegal measures
of her enemies by fSrcibly preventing,
around Great Britain, France, Italy
after February 1, 1917, in a zone
and in the Eastern Mediterranean, all
navigation, that Of neutrals included,
from and to England and from and to
France. etc.. etc. All ships met with
in that zone will be sunk.
The imperial government Is conf
dent that this measure will result in a
speedy termination of the war and in
the restoration of peace. which the
government Of the United States has
30 much at heart. Like the govern
ment Of the United States, Germany
and her allies had hoped to reach this
goal by negotiations. Now that tho
war. through the fault Of Germany's
enemies, mas to be continued, the Inn
perial government feels sure that the
government of the United States will
understand the necessity Of adopting
such measures as are destined to
bring about speedy end of the horri-
Bile and useless bloodshed. The i'm
perial government hopes all the more
for such an understanding Of her DO
sition, as the neutrals have under the
pressure of the entente powers suffer-
ed great losses. being forced by them
either to give up their entire trade or
to limit 1t according to conditions ar

emies In violation Of international

trouble. Occasionally this resent
ment does not find expression at

In the Nonpartisan league. 1t may be
that the continued subjection of many
OF the members OF this organization
to the dictation of persons who do
not belong with them and have no
interests in common with theirs is
due to the fact that the organization
ts not tho result of a voluntary and
spontaneous movement among the
people themselves, but that it orig
mated outside OF their own circle,
was brought to them by others, and,
In this way has come with something
OF the attractiveness which is apt to
surround that which Is new, and
which, for the moment, is imperfect
ly understood.
Among those who are members of
the league and engaged in the pro-
motion Of its organization work there
are all sorts and conditions of men.
There are farmers Of all descriptions,
tho thrifty and the thriftless; the
progressive and the backward There
are among the organizers real farm
ers who have brought to the work
honest enthusiasm; and there are the
professional solicitors who, If they
were not engaged in this business,
would be selling costly and worthless
books. patent rights for new-fangled
things Of all kinds, most of which
Will not work, and in other ways liv-
Ing by their Wits at the expense Of
the communities which they invade.
But among the real managers Of
the concern. those who guide its mo-
tions and decree Its destinies. there is
no such division. These men are,
without exception, transients, f1oaters,
arbetbaggers-men who are no more
real citizens Of North Dakota than
they are of any other state in which
they may remain overnight. These
men have drifted from place to place,
agttating. declaiming, disorganizing.
They are here today. Yesterday they
were elsewhere. Tomorrow they
Will be gone. And it is to the coun-
sci Of such men, with such ante
cedents. that many Of our people are
still willing to listen, and it is to their

they elect him. He goes to the capt.
tai. or he should go. without any
strings tied to him. He goes as q
grown man, presumably Of intelli-
gence, with a mind of his own, and
with ability to form his own conclu-
sions. There are many things in which
he will naturally wish to be guided
by the wishes of his constituents.
There are many subjects of legisla-
ton which involve no important prin-
ctple, but which are matters of pol
icy and expediency. The legislator
who really wishes to serve his people
faithfully will desire to know their
opinions and receive their advice on
these matters, as we'll as on the larg-
er subjects in which vital principles
are involved. But his decisions are
to be made by himself. He is to be
held responsible, and If SO. he must
use his own intelligence and decide
questions in the light of that intelli-
gence.
Instructions by mass meeting count
for little. Anybody can get anything
endorsed ut meeting, IL he Ia care
full about the arrangement OF his
meeting. And the league managers
are usually quite careful. But when
the people of a district elect man to
serve them in the house of representa-
tives or in the senate, they elect him
to serve them with the best of his
ability. in the light of his own intel
ligence. in full compliance with the
letter and spirit of his oath to support
the constitution Of his nation and his
state, and not to act in the capacity
of either a megaphonc or parrot.

China is rapidly recovering from its
former belief that railroads are an

was that II railroads were not an in

THE PFRIsCnpE,

The Herald has inadvertently neg
lected until now to make mention OF
the appearance among the new Pc
rtodicals In North Dakota of the
Periscope, modest but interesting
little magazine published at Fargo I,y
d. H. Macarthur. Mr.. Macarthur is
an old and we'll known resident of
North Dakota, and has held several
official positions. among them being
that of state senator, in which posi-
ton he acquitted himself with credit
He was the Democratic candidate for
governor in the campaign of last
year, and he was the center of some
of the stormiest passages of that cam
paign.
The Periscope is devoted to a re-
sumo of current events, with the edi-
tors comment thereon, and it gives
promise of being interesting and in
formative. So far as we know It is
the only magazine Of its particular
class published in the state, and there
should be plenty of room for it.
