Willi reganl to these, no nsmirnnco has ever been given to the Rovernmont of the t'nlted States. No such assurances are contained In tint declaration of February S, 1010. ' The (It rnian government cannot admit an) doubt that these orders were given or arc executed In good fulth. Krrors actually occured. They can In im Id ml of warfare be avoided altogether. Allowances must be made In the conduct of navnl war fare nnnlnt an enemy resortliiK to all kinds or ruses, whether pormliwl blo or Illicit. "lint apart from the possibility of errors, naval warfare Just like war fare on land, Implies unavoidable thinners for neutral persons ami mooiIh enteilnK the (Mlillnn rone. Fven In cases where the naval action Is confined to ordinary forms of cruiser waifure, neutral persons and IsoocIh repeatedly come to jtrlef. "The florman novernnient has re peatedly and explicitly pointed out the ilanHors from mines that have led to the loss of numerous ships. I'lfWolIK I'1IMIMN - "The (let man government has made several proposals to tho rov eminent of the I'nlted State. In or der to reduce to a minimum for American travelers and Roods -the Inherent dannera of naval warfare, rnfortunntely, the government of the I'nlted Stales decided not to ac cept the proposals. Had it accepted the government of the I'nlted States would have gt en Instrumental In per xentlng the greater part of the acci dents that American pillions have met with In lbs meantime. The Herman government still stands by Its offer to come to an agreement along those Hues. "As tho (ici'inan government re peatedly dot-lured, it cannot dispense with the use of the submarine wea pon In the conduct of warfare itgolnst enemy trade. The German govern ment, however, has now decided to make a fuith-r concession, adapting methods ot Mihmarlne warefare to the Intertmtt. of neutrals. "In reaching this decision the Cier man government Is actuated by con siderations which are above the level of the disputed question. Tlicoc Micivtl I'llnrlples "The Gorman government attaches no less impoi lance to the sacred principles of humanity than the gov ernment of the I'nlted States. It again fully takes into account that both government for many years co operated in developing International law In conformity with these prin ciples, the ultimate object of which has alwayp beon to confine warfare on sen and land to armed forces of belligerent' and safeguard as far as powtlble non-combatants against tho horrors of nr. Hut although these considerations are of 'great weight, they alone would not under present t IrcumsiKiicex hare determined tho attitude or the Herman government. For in fttiKwer to the apepal b) the government of the I'nlted States on behalf or the sacred principles of humanltt and International law the German government must repeat once more with all emphasis that It was not the German ttit the ItrilUh jtovemment which ignored all ac cepted rule of International law pnd extended this terrible war to the lives and property of non-combatants, having no regard whatever for the Interests and rights of neutrals, and non-combatants that through tuU method of warfare have been severe- Injured. llHumt I he Itiil Nil "In self defense against the lib' gal conduct of British warfare wh a. fltihtlim a bitter struggle for nation ' at existence, Germany had to r. -.-i-to the hard but effective uicn hubmariue warfare-.

ItritMi l-'ulliiivs Cited "Several attempts made by the government of the t'nlted States to prevail upon the Hrltlsh government to act accordingly failed beciuiee ot riat rerusal on the part of the British government. Moreover Great Hrit nlu again and again has violated in ternational law, surpassing all Intends In outraging neulral rights. The lat est measure adopted by Great Hrltaln declaring Germany bunker coal con trail unci and establishing conditions under which Kngllsh bunker coal alone Is supplied to neutrals is noth. lux but an unheard of attempt by way of exaction to force neutral ton nage Into tho service of Hritish war trade. "The Gorman people know that the government of the I'nlted States has tho power to confine the war to armed forces of the belligerent countries in the interest of Immunity and maintenance of International Inw. The government of the I'nlted State would have been certain of iittalulug this end had it been de termined to Insist against Great Hrltaln on the Incontrovertible rights to freedom of the seas. Hut as matters stand the German people arc under the Impression that the gov ernment of the I'nlted State while demanding Unit Germany, struggling for existence shall leslralu (be use of an effective weapon anil while making compliance with these de mands a condition for maintenance of relations with Germany, confines Itself to protest against illegal methods adopted by Germany's ene mies. .Moreover, the German people know to what considerable extent Its enemies are supplied with all kinds of war material from tho i'nlted States. Sit ll1,NIII. 10 .lWill "It will therefore bo understood that the appeal mado by the govern ment of the I'nlted States to senti ment of humanity and principles of International law cannot under the circumstances meet the same hearty response from the German people which such an appeal otherwise al ways is certain to find here. If trfo Merman government nevertheless Is resolved to go to the iitiiioct limit of touceesions It ha been guided not .ilone by the friendship connecting the two great nations for over ono hundred years, but also b thought of great doom which threatens the entire civilised world should the cruel and sanguinary war be ex tended and prolonged. I'nnco Olfitrh .Mudtj "The Herman government, ron sclotis of German. s strength, twice wlthln the last few mouths announc ed before the world Its iphiIIiipsh to make peace on a basis safeguarding Germany's vital Interests, thus Indi cating that It Is not German) 's fault If peace Is still withheld rrom the nations of Huron. The German gov ernment feels all the more Justified III declaring that responsibility could not be borne before the forum or mankind and In history If after 31 month of the war's duration the sub marine question under discussion be tween the German government and the government of the Tiilted States were to take a turn seriously thteat enlng maintenance ot peace between the two nations. "A far a Ho with tho Germun government, it wishes to .prevent things from taking audi a course Tho German government, moreover. Is prepared to do It utmost to con fine operations of the war ft out the ret of It duration to the fighting fortes of the belligerents, thereby also insuring freedom of the seas, a principle upon which the German gov ernment believes, now as before, that it is in agreement with the gov eminent of the I'nlted Stale.

Such a ' de mand would be lnconitntlble with tho charnctor of neutrality and tho Ger man government Is convinced thai the government of the Fulled State does not think of making such a de mand, knowing that the government of the t'nlted States declares that il is determined to restore the princi ple of freedom of the seas, from whatever quarter It has been violat ed.
