GERMAN REPLY TO
WILSON’S NOTE
(Continued from page 1)
shows with horrible clearness to
what jeopardizing of human lives
the manner of conducting war
employed by our adversaries leads.
In the most direct contradiction
of all International law, all distinc
tion between merchantmen and
war vessels have been obliterated
by the order to British merchant
men to arm themselves and to
ram submarines and the promise
of rewards therefor, and neutrals,
who use merchantmen as travel
ers, thereby, have been exposed
by an increasing degree to all ihe
dangers o f war.
“ I f the commander of the Ger
man submarine which destroyed
the Lusitania had caused the crew
and passengers to take to the
boats before firing a torpedo this
would have meant the sure de
struction of his own vessel. A fter
the experiences in sinking much
smaller and less sea-worthy ves
sels, it was to be expected that a
mighty ship like the Lusitania
would remain above water long
enough after torpedoing to permit
passengers to enter the ships
boats. Circumstances o f a very
peculiar kind, especially the pres
ence on board o f large quantities
o f explosive materials ( words
omitted.
Possibly “ dissipated” )
this expectation.
In addition it may be pointed
out that if the Lusitania had been
spared thousands o f cases of
munitions would have been sent
to German’s enemies and there
by thousands o f German mothers
and children robbed o f bread
winners.
Friendship Affirmed.

About 1,000 clerks und city curriers
In New York were affected by the an
