words in a roundabout way by courier

The year 1916 opened with this
great question still unsettled, and, In
effect, Germany gave notice that after
March 1. 1915. the German submarines
would sink all armed merchantmen OF
the enemies OF Germany without
warning. 1t Is not my place here to

and no one was present at our inter

The note contained an ofer to sub
nit any difference OF opinion as should
develop to be Investigated by a mixed
in accordance with The
Hague convention OF 1907. The En-
glishnan and the Eagle Point, Il was
said, were attacked by German sub

to escape. and an explanation was
given as to the Manchester Engineer.
With reference to the SUSSEX, the note

and the position taken in this was ap-
parently abandoned at the time OIL the
settlement of the Sussex case. to
which I now refer.
Series Of U-Boat Attacks.
In the latter half OF March, 1915. a
number Of boats having Americans on
board were ,torpedoed without warn
ing. These boats were the Eagle
Point. the Englishman. the Manches-
ter Engineer. and the. Sussex. One
American was killed or drowned on
the Enklishman, but the issue finally
came to a head over the torpedoinE
OF the channel passenger boat Sussex.
which carried passengers between
FoIkestone> and Disppe. France.
The Sussex was torpedoed on March
"a near the coast OF France. Four
hundred and thirty-six persons. of
whom seVenty-fVe yere Americans,
were on board. The captain and a
number OF the passengers saw the
torpedo and an ehdeavor was made
TO avoid II. After the boat was struck
the many passengers took to the
boats. Three Americans were injured
and more than forty persons lost
their lives. although the boat was not
sunk. but was toWed to Boulogne.

the German government as to whether

contemplated trip to America,
but both the chancellor and Won ia
gov begged me not to go.
From the time of the LuSitania
sinking to that of the Sussex all
Germany was divided into two camps.
The party of the chancellor tried to
keep peace with America and did not
want to have Germany branded as
an outlaw among nations. Won Tir-
pitt and his party of naval and mill
tary officers called for ruthless sub
marine war, and the conservatives,
angry with Bethmann-Hollweg, be-
cause OF his proposed concession as
to the extension of suffrage, Joined
the opposition. The reception OF our
last Lusitania note in July, 1918, was
hostile, and 1 was accused Of being
against Germany, although, of course,
had nothing to do with the prepar-
alton OF this note.
The deputies representing the great
industrials of Germany Joined in
August, 1918, in the attack on the
chancellor. These men wished to
keep northern France and Belgium,
because they hoped to get POSSESSION
of the coal and iron deposits there,
and so obtain a monopoly of the iron
and steel trade of the Continent. Ac-
celerators of public opinion, undoubt-
adly hired by the Krupp firm, were
hard at work. These annexationists
were opposed by the more reasonable
men, who signed a petition, against
the annexation OF Belgium Among
the signers of this reasonable mems
petition were Prince Hatfield Duke
of Trachenberg), head OF the Red
Cross: Dernburg, Prince Henkel Don
