during which the fearful struggle goes
on brings new devastation, new misery,
new deaths. Every day by which the
war is shortened will preserve on both
sides the lives of thousands of brave
soldiers and means blessing for tor

''The imperial government before its
own conscience and before history is
unable to assume the responsibility of
any one means is left untried to hasten
the end of the war.
Together with the president of the
United states, it had hoped to obtain
this aim by negotiations.
"The attempt to establish an under
standing between adversaries having
been answered by an announcement of
an intensified warfare, the imperial
government, if in higher sense it can
serve humanity and fellow humans
against their companions, must now
continue the war for existence, once
more forced upon her, by using her
weapons.
FThe imperial government therefore

is also forced to do away with restrie-
tons which until now it has impressed
upon us of its fighting means in the
sea.
Trusting that the American people
and its government viii be alive to the
reasons for this decision, and for its
necessity, the imperial government
hopes that the United States will ap-
preeiate the new state of affairs from
the lofty exalted standpoint of the
imperial government and on its part
will also cooperate in order to avoid
further misery and avoidable sacrifices
of human lives.
THE government refers to the de-
tails of the planned war measures at
sea herewith annexed and at the same
time begs that the American govern
ment will warn American ships against
confidence passengers or goods to ships
plying ports in barred zones.
Similar notes were handed to repre-
sentatives of all neutral governments,
the official press bureau announced.

morale Of the Russian sailors, despite
the crushing superiority of the en-

Count Capnist in his report to the
ministry of marine said that even on
ships where insubordination had been
