note of the 4th instant might appear
to be susceptible of that construction.
In order, however, 10 avoid any mis-
understanding, the government of the
United States notifies the imperial
government that it can not for q mo-
ment entertain much less discuss, a
suggestion that respect by German
naval authorities for the rights Of
citizens of the United States upon the
high seas should in any way or in the
slightest degree be made contingent
upon the conduct Of any other govern

no reply.
"On the 31st Of January, the Wed
nesday OF the present week, the Ger
man ambassador handed to the secre-
tary of State, along with a formal
| note, q memorandum which contain
ed the follOwim.. statement:
1.-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 by their deter
mination to destroy the central pow
ers and that the government of the
United States will further realize that
the now openly disclosed intention OF
the entente allies gives back to Ger
many the freedom OF the action which
she reserved in her note addressed to
the government of the United States
on May 4, 1916.
"'Under these circumstances. Ger
many will meet the illegal measures
of her enemies by forcibly prevent
ing after February l. 1917, in a zone
around Great Britain, France, Italy
ana In the eastern Mediterranean
all navigation, that Of neutrals includ-
ed. from and to England and from
and to France, etc. All ships met
within the zone will be sunk
II think that you will agree with
me that in view OF this declaration
which suddenly and without prio,
intimation of any kind, deliberately
withdraws the solemn assurance given
in the imperial governments note of
the 4th Of May, 1916, this govern
ment has no alternative consistent
with the dignity and honor of the
United States but to take. the course
which. in its note of the 18th of
April, 1915. it announced that il
would take in, the event that the
German government did not declare
and effect an, abandonment of the
methods Of submarine Warfare which
It was then employing and to which
1t now purposes again to resort.
II have, therefore, directed the sec
