Final Effort.
SECOND NOTE TO WASHINGTON
All Ships in War Zone Will Be At
tackled Without Warning-Piedge
to U. S. Is Withdrawn"
Not Broken.

Washington, Feb. "a second men,
orandum delivered Wednesday with
the German note was made public late
Thursday by the state department. 1t
differs in some respects from the sub
stance of the note itself. The under
standing is that it 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 adj
dress. When Count Won Bernstortf re-
ceived the note and memorandum
Wednesday from Berlin he decided to
deliver with them the original docu-
ment prepared by him. The memoran-
dunn follows:
After Lluntly refusing Germany's
peace offer the entente powers stated
In their note addressed to the Ameri-
can government that they are deter
mined to continue the war in order to
deprive Germany of German provinces
in the West and East, to destroy Aus
tria-Hungary and to annihilate Turkey.
I'm waging war with such aims the
entente allies are violating 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
possesses in her submarines.

nave made it impossible to come to
an understanding based upon equality
or rights of all nations. as proposed by
the central powers. and have instead
declared only such a peace to be pos
sible which shall be dictated by the en-
tente allies and shall result in the de-
structiOn and the humiliation of the
central powers, Germany is unable fur
Their to fOrego the full use of her sub
marines.
1.-The imperial government, therefore
| does not doubt that the government of
the United States will understand the
situation thus forced upon Germany
| by the entente allies brutal methods
| of war and by their determination to
| destroy the central powers, and that
| the government of the United States
will further realize that the now open
ly disclosed intention of the entente
| allies gives back to Germany the free
dom of action which she reserved in
her note addressed TO the government
of the United States on May 4, 1916.

| many will meet the illegal measures of
her enemies by forcibly preventing
after February l, 1917, in zone
around Great Britain, France and Italy
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 within
the zone will be sunk.
1.-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
so much at heart.
Like the government of the United
States, Germany and her allies had
hopes TO reach this goal by negotia-
tons. Now that the war, through the
fault Of Germany's enemies, has to be
continued, the imperial government
feels sure that the government of the
United States will understand the ne
cessity of adopting such measures as
are destined to bring about speedy
end of the horrible and useless blood
shed.
1.-The imperial government hopes all
the more for such an understanding of
her position. as the neutrals have UNI
der the pressure of the entente pow
ers suffered great losses, being forced
by them either to give up their entire
trade or TO limit it according to con-
ditions arbitrarily determined by Ger
manys enemies in violation of interna-
tional law"
