Are Cited.
Washington, April 4. (XT. P.) Ger
many in a communication addressed
to the United States through the
Swiss minister, has challenged the as
sertion that the German government
has violated the treaties of 1785, 1799.
and 1828.
American citizens, said the note,
may freely leave Germany and for the
most part. have already left.
- The note, replying to this govern
ment's refusal to reaffirm the treaties,
declares the. U-boat warfare does not
contravene the provision of article 12
of the treaty of 1785; and article IS
of the treaty of 1799.' since they do not
oppose blockade or obstructions sim
ilar to blockade.
V. Delays Are jnstUed.
The communication, dated March 30,
1917. says:
"The German government challenges
the assertion that It has violated the
treaties of 1785. 1799 and 1828. Amer
ican citizens may freely leave Ger
many, and for the most part have al
ready done so.
"That departure from the country
Is delayed under certain circumstances
is to be ascribed to necessary precau
tionary measures.
"Since the provisions of article 12
of the treaty of 1785, and article 13
of the treaty of 1799 do not oppose
blockade or obstructions similar to
blockade, the U-boat warfare does not
contravene them.
Appam Case Is Cited.
''In turn Germany has U reproach
the-United States with a violation of
those treaties in that, without Justi
fication on the ground of neutrality?
It prevented the departure on and after
the beginning of the war of various
German merchant vessels, contrary to
the treaty of . 1828. and contrary to ar
ticle 19 of the treaty of 1799.
The American government in the Ao-
pam case also contested the right of
the prize to stay In American ports an1
permitted, judicial proceedings against
the prize.'
Departures to Be Allowed.
'Until further notice the German
government will adhere to the main
teDance of article 23 of the treaty of
1799, inasmuch as it assumes from the
declaration . heretofore made by the
fctate department that the American
government holds the same view of the
present situation, as well as for a pos
sible state of war; in the same sup
position it will place a liberal con
struction upon the article, that is to
say, will not prevent money re
mittances to the United States and also
in particular honor imperial treasury
certificates and continue to allow
Americana to depai t."

KoCnmber Offers Sabstltate.
A resolution designed to postpone '
war with Germany and give her a '
chance to change her present methods ,
was introduced In th senate between
speeches by Senator McCumber, North '
Dakota, as a substitute for the sen
ate foreign commute measure. -
- McCumber proposed that the United
States recognise the right of any bei--Hgereat
to establish" and -maintain-a
blockade by any means, but that any ,
further sinking of - American ships
without notice, or. loss of American
Uvea,, be regarded as an. act of. war. .
I am pauslnr ions- enoue-h en -tha r.

fcWonld Serr Bamanlty.
"There can be no arrest war without
violating the Tights of neutrals. - Ws
ought to exercise a great deal of char- ' '
itaDieness to the warring nations In
this respect." - . - -
McCumber pronosed that Americans
be warned off ships while negotiations '
proceed toward a settlement with Oer
many. He announced .specifically that
he did not condone Germany's subma-'
rin acts, tut held that tha United
States ought to remain neutral ln wi
der that it might better serve hu
manity later.
Senator Vardaman pledged his own
services in whatever way they might '
be needed. ; - -
. Dedicates Uf to Coaatry.
"I dedicate my life and my services '
to my country,', he declared at th '
close of a speech steeped ln pacifism,
but sur-charged with th idea of pa
triotism. .
Senator Norris, Nebraska, on of
th "wilful . twelva" - who ' Mocked ,
passage of th armed neutrality, bill,
declared that h would, oppos th
"war resolution." . -

stand in obedient salute to that -flag,
dutifully willing to perform any

To my countrymen I say la war

"If w deoiar for war there must
be no halting; we must mak war ln
earnest; honor and patriotism will de
mand that w shrink not even from
the mouth Of hell. If your decision
b for war tber Is nothing that any '
sane, honorable, patriotic American -could
do that I will not do to mak.
that war a success." " -
After severely arraigning "our sab-'
mission to the tngiish blockade." -Senator
Norris stated, that b would
oppos 'tha - resolution, but if con
gress decided to enter th war "would
do alt in hi power and with all his '
energy be behind th flag ln carrying
it to success." .' .. " -
" sd Charg-M Trsasoa.
'In the first bitter battle sine con-
slderation of the resolution began.
Reed, Missouri, charged that th ut
terance of Norris "took on a treason
able character." ' ''
wrr h io iwi uu was a
war of dollars and that he felt that
we were putting th dollar sign upon -th
American flag . by entering th -war."
. " - -.-
Frequently Reed read from - a copy v
of Norris add res a Certain parts b
termed "an indictment of th presi
dent, congress, -th people of tho
United States and the truth."
"If that Is not giving aid and ota- '
fort to the enemy wall on th verge-
of war I do not know what It Is," h "
shouted. "If that:-- U not almost "
treason, it takes on that character."

remarks, could , be construed as an -attack
