the milmiHrlne tvarefwre In acord
nnro with the general principles ot
visit and search nnd the dcjitriiclion
of merchant vessels recognized by
International, t ho solo exception be
Iiik the conduct ot warfare against
enemy trade carried on oneniy
freight ghliw encountered In the war
7.0110 surroundliiK Great Hrltaln.
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

gal conduct of British warfare wh a.

to use the submarine weapon In strli t
conformity with the rules of Inter
national laws, as recognized before
tho outbreak of the war, If Great
Hrltaln likewise was ready to adapt
the conduct of warfare to these rules.
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.

"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.

"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

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

ernment believes, now as before,
that it is in agreement with the gov
eminent of the I'nlted Stale.
