ASKS U. S. To TAKE
THE GERMAN VIEW

Washington, Jan. 31.-The Ger
man note to the United States which
Ambassador Won Bernstorff handed
Secretary Lansing, at the same time
copies were delivered in Berlin to
American Ambassador Gerard, and
all neutral representatives, refers to
the presidents recent address to the
senate and goes into detail.
Germany then declares she finds
herself compelled to continue the
fight for existence again forced upon
her, with full employment of all
weapons at her disposal"

tells how they should be marked, and
outlines fully the zones mentioned
which, if followed, would eliminate
practically all contraband trade with
the allies, as statement says the
German list of what is contraband
will be observed in handling such
vessels.
The note, at the outset, refers to
the presidents address as important
and says Germany is gratified to
learn that the main tendencies in the
address correspond largely to German
desires and principles, especially re-
garding self government and equal
ity of rights for small nations.
Germany, it says, will be sincerely
glad if a recognition of this principle
should give freedom to Ireland and
India. The German note then re-
pudiates any desire on the part of
Germany to enter alliances "whirh
serve to force countries into compe-
tition for might, and involve them
in net of selfish intrigues," but
says Germany will be glad to CO.
operate in efforts to prevent future
wars.
The note then says Germany de-
sires freedom of the seas and peace

cember offered to discuss peace on q
