"The undersigned has the honor
to make the following reply to his
excellency, Ambassador Gerard,
to the note of the 10th ultimo., re­
garding the impairment of Ameri­
can interests by the German sub­
marine war. The imperial gover-
ment learned with satisfaction
from the note how earnestly the
government of the United States
is concerned in seeing the princi­
ples of humanity realized in the
present war. Also this appeal
finds ready echo in Germany and
the imperial government is quite
willing to permit its statement
and decisions in the present case
to be governed by the principles
of humanity just as it has done
al ways.
"The imperial government wel­
comed with gratitude when the
American government in the note
of May 15 itself recalled that Ger­
many had always permitted itself
to be governed by the principles
of progress and humanity in deal­
ing with the law of martime war.
Since the time when Frederick
the Great negotiated with John
Adams, Benjamin Franklin and
Thomas Jefferson the treaty of
friendship and commerce of Sep­
tember 9. 1785, between Prusia
and the republic of the west, Ger­
many and America have jointly
advocated progressive principles,
and practically the abolishment
of the right to capture at sea and
the protection of the interests of
neutrals.
Good Intention* Avowed
"Even at the beginning of the
present \var the German govern­
ment immediate'y declared its
willingness to ratify the declara­
tion of London and thereby sub­
ject itself in the usé of its naval
forces to all the restrictions pro­
vided therein in favor of neutrals.
Germany likewise has been al­
ways tenacious of the principle
that war should be conducted
against the armed and organized
forces of an enemy country but
that the enemy civilian population
must be spared as far as possible
from the measure of war. The
imperial government cherishes
the definite hope that some way
will be found when peace is con­
cluded, or perhaps earlier, to reg­
ulate the law of martime war in a
manner guaranteeing the freedom
of the seas and will welcome it
with gratitude and satisfaction if
it can work hand in hand with
the American government on that
occasion.

more and more, the longer its du­
ration, the German government
has no guilt therein. It is known
to the American government how
Germany’s adversaries, by com­
pletely paralyzing peacable traffic
between Germany and neutral
countries, have aimed from the
very beginning and with increas­
ing lack of consideration at the
destruction, not so much of the
armed forces as the life of the
German nation, repudiating in
doing so all the rules of interna­
tional law and disregarding all
the rights of neutrals.
“ On November 3.1914, England
declared the North sea a war area
and by planting poorly anchored
mines and by the stoppage and
capture of vessels made passage
extremely dangerous and difficult
for neutral shipping, 'actually
blockaumg neutral coasts and ports
contrary to all international law.
Long before the beginning of sub­
marine war England practically
completely intercepted legitimate
neutral navigation to Germany
also. Thus Germany was driven
to a submarine war on trade.
"On November 14, 1914, the
English premier declared in the
house of commons that it was one
of England’s principal tasks to
prevent food for the German pop­
ulation from reaching* Germany
via neutral ports. Since March
first England has been taking from
neutral ships without further for­
mality all merchandise proceeding
to Germany, even when neutral
property. Just as it was also with
the Boers, the German people is
now to be given the choice of per­
ishing from starvation with its
women and children or of relin­
quishing its independence.
"While our enemies thus loudly
and openly proclaimed war with­
out mercy until our utter destruc­
tion, we were conducting war in
self-defense for our national exist­
ance. and for the sake of peace of
an assured permanency. We
have been obliged to adopt a sub­
marine warfare to meet the de­
clared intentions of dur enemies
and the method of warfare adop­
ted by them in contravention of
international law. With al' of its
efforts in principle to protect neu­
tral life and property from dam­
age as much as possible the Ger­
man government recognized unre­
servedly in its memorandum of
February 4 that the interest of
neutrals might suffer from the
submarine warfare.
However,
the American government will
also understand and appreciate
that the fight for existance which
has been forced on Germany by
its adversaries and announced by
them it is the sacred duty of the
imperial government to do all
within its power to protect and
save the lives of Germán subjects.
If the imperial government were
derelict in these duties, it would
be guilty before God and history
of the violation of those principles
of highest humanity which are
the foundation of every national
existance.
