WASHINGTON, I). C, July 21.
Tho United States has decided to In
form Germany that further loss of
American lives hy submarine warfare
in contravention of tho principles of
International law will ho regarded
os an "Unfrlondly act." Tho dlBCiis
slon of principles Is virtually ended.
Tho action which tho Pulled Sta
tes would take Is not indicated but
In diplomatic usuago an "Unfrlondly
act" has always carried tho Implica
tion of finality often leading to sev
erance of friendly relations. While
officials aro non-committal, It was
belloved tho request for reparation
In tho LuBltanla caso would bo v

Agreed on Principle.
In tho new nolo tho United States
assumes that Germany nlreody has
admitted tho principle that passen
gers must bo ronlovcd to a placo
of safoty beforo destroying unresist
ing merchantmen ns prizes. Taking
this position, therefore, that tho
two governments aro agreed - In
principle tho United States views It
as Incumbent upon Germany to mako
her submarine practice conform
with tho accepted principles of In

of Aiuorlcan lives, It Is then pointed
pointed out, would bo viewed as an
