I Salient Points In German Reply, j We have been obliged to adopt a submarine warfare to meet the de!ar- i ed Intention of our enemies and the! method of warfare adopted by th-';n ; la contravention of international law. I After the experiences in sinking mu h smaller and Uss seaworthy vt-3-j sels. it was to be expected tint a mlshty iih'.p !!!:; the I.usitanla viouM, remain nloe water long enough, even after tho torpedolnv, to permit pas smipe! to enter the ship's boats. . . , In addition, it tuny be pointed out that If shu l.usitiinia had been spared thou sands of cases of munitions would have been sent to Germany's enemies, and thereby thousands of German mothers and children robbed of bread winners. In order to exclude any unforeseen dangers to American passenger steain ers, German submarines wiil be in structed to permit the free and safe passane of such passenger steamers, when made recognizable by special markliiKs and notified at reasonable time In advance. The imperial gov ernment, however, confidently hopes that the American government will as sume to guarantee that these vessels have no contraband on board. Use of Neutral Vessels Suggested. In order to furnish adequate facili ties for travel across the Atlantic for American citlnens the German govern ment submits for consideration a pro posal to increaso the number of avail able steamers by Installing in passen ger service a reasonable number of neutral steamers under tho American flag, tho exact number to be agreed upon. The Imperial government believes it can assume that in this manner ade quate facilities for travel across tho Atlantic ocean can bo afforded Ameri can citizens. There would, therefore, appear to be no compelling necessity for American citizens to travel to Eu rope In time of var on ships carrying an enemy flag. In particular, the im perial government is unable to admit that Amorlcnn citizens can protect an enemy Bhlp through the mere fact of their presence on board. If, however, It should not be possi ble for the American government to acquire on adequate number of neu tral passenger steamers, the Imperial gorernmeut is prepared to interpose no objections to the placing under the American flag by the American gov ernment of four enemy passenger steamers for passenger traffic be tween North America and England. are acted on favorably by the depart ment of agriculture.

Tho leaks were discovered at the outlet of the reservoir approximately four months ago, and since then as tests have been made they have con tinued to develop.
