viz. to dismember and dishonor Ger
many. Austria-Hungary, Turkey and
bulgaria. To the wish of reconcilfa'
| ton they oppose the will of destruc
ton. They desire fight to the bit
ter end.
A new situation has thus been Gre
ated which forces Germany to new
decision. Since two years and hall
England is using her naval power for
criminal attempt to force Germany
| into submission by starvation. In
brutal contempt of international law
the group of powers led by England
does not only curtail the legitimate
trade of their opponents, but they
also by ruthless pressure compel neu'
trail countries either to altogether
forego every trade not agreeable to
the entente powers or TO limit 1t ac-
cording to their arbitrary DEGREES.
The American government knows the
steps which have been taken to
cause England and her allies to re-
turn to the rules OF international law
and to respect the freedom OF the
seas.
War Of Starvation.

feet the military power of it's oppon-
ents, but compels women and child
rem, the sick and the aged to suffer,
for their country. pains and priva-
lions which endanger the vitality OF
the nation. The British tyranny mer-
cilessly increases the sufferings OF
the world, Indifferent to the laws OF
humanity, Indifferent to the protests
of the neutrsls whom they severely
harm, Indifferent even to the silent
longing for peace among England s
own allies. Each day OF the terrible
struggle causes new destruction, new
s,liIerings. Each day shortening the
war will, on both sides. preserve the
life of thousands OF brave soldiers
and be a benefit to mankind.
Must Use Every Weapon.
The imperial government could not
Justify before its own conscience, be-
fore the German people and before
history, neglect any means destined
to bring about the end of the war.
Like the president Of the United
States, the imperial government had
hoped to reach this goal by negoia-
tons. After the attempts to come to
an understanding with the entente
powers have been answered by the
latter with the announcement OF an
intensified continuation OF the war,
the imperial government-in order
To serve the Welfare &c mankind ia
a higher sense and not to wrong Its
own people, is now compelled to con-
tinue the fight for existence again
forced upon it, with the full employ
ment of all the weapons which are
at its disposal
Sincerely trusting that the people
and government of the United States
will understand the motives for this
decision and its necessity, the i'm
periaI government hopes that the
United States may view the new
situation from the lofty heights or
impartiality and assist, on their part,
