From the rooms that she rids and the

From the pride and the grace
And the joy in her face,
Perhaps you can guess what a differ

With a boy in the house.

Calls for Disavowal of Acts
"Recalling the humane and enlight
ened attitude hitherto assumed by the
Imperial German government in mat
ters of international right, and partic
ularly with regard to the freedom of
the seas; having learned to recognize
the German views and the German in
fluence on the field of international
obligation as always engaged upon the
side of justice and humanity; and hav
ing understood the instruction of the
Imperial German government to its
naval commanders' to be upon the
same plane of humane action prescrib
ed by the naval codes of other nations,
the government of the United States
was loath to believe it cannot now
bring itself to believe that these acts
so absolutely contrary to the rules,
the practices, and the spirit of mod
ern warfare, could have the counten
ance or sanction of that great govern
ment. It feels it to be its duty, there
fore, to address the Imperial German
government concerning them with the
utmost frankness and in the earnest
hope that it is not mistaken in expect
ing action on the part of the Imperial
German government which will cor
rect the unfortunate impressions
which have been created and vindicate
once more the position with regard to
the sacred freedom of the seas.
No Rights Are Surrendered.
"The government of the United
States has been apprised that the Im
perial German government considered
themselves to be obliged by th extra
ordinary circumstances of the present
war and the measures adopted by
their adversaries in seeking to cut
Germany off from all commerce, to
adopt methods of retaliation which go
beyond the ordinary methods of war
fare at sea, in the proclamation of a
war zone from which they have warn
ed neutral ships to keep away. This
government has already taken occa
sion to inform the Imperial German
government that it cannot admit the
adoption of such measures or such a
warning of danger to operate as in
any degree an abbreviation of the
rights of American shipmasters or of
American citizens bound on lawful
errands as passengers or mer
chant ships of belligerent nationa
ality; and that it must hold the Impe
rial German government to a strict
accountability for any infringement
of those rights, intentional or incident
al. It does not understand the Impe
rial German government to question
those rights. It assumes, on the con
trary, that the Imperial German gov
ernment accept, as of course, the rule
that the lives of non-combatants
whether they be of neutral citizenship
or citizens of one of the nations at
war, cannot lawfully or rightfully be
put in jeopardy by the capture or de
struction of an unarmed merchantman
and recognize, as all other nations do,
the obligation to take the usual pre
caution of visit and search to ascer
tain whether a suspected merchant
man is in fact of belligerent national
ity or is in fact carrying non-contra'
band of war under a neutral flag.

"American citizens act within their

ships and in traveling wherever their
legitimate business calls them upon
the high seas, and exercise those
rights in what should be the well-justified
confidence that their lives will
not be endangered by acts done in
clear violation of universally acknowl
edged international obligations, and
certainly in the confidence that their
own government will sustain them in
the exercise of them.
Warning No Palliation of Unlawful
Act.
"There was recently published in the
newspapers of the United States, I
regret to inform the Imperial German
government, a formal warning, pur
porting to come from the Imperial
German Embassy at Washington, ad
dressed to the people of the United
States, and stating, in effect, that any
citizen of the United States who ex
ercised his right of free travel upon
the seas would da so at his peril if his
journey should take him within the
zone of water within which the Im
perial German Navy was using sub
marines against the commerce of
Great Britain and France, notwith
standing the respectful but very earn
est protest of this government, the
government of the United States. I
do not refer to this for the purpose of
calling the attention of the Imperial
German government at this time to
the surprising irregularity of a com
munication from the Imperial German
Embassy at Washington, addressed to
the people of the United States
through the newspapers, but only for
the purpose of pointing out that no
warning that an unlawful and inhu
mane act will be committed can possi
bly be accepted as an excuse or pallia
tion for that, act or as an abatement
of the responsibility for its commis
sion. Asks Disavowal and Guarantees
"Long acquainted as this govern
ment has been with the character of
the Imperial German government and
with the high principles of equity by
which they have in the past been ac
tuated and guided, the government of
the United States can not believe that
the commanders of the vessels which
committed these acts of lawlessness
did so except under a misapprehension
of the orders issued by the Imperial
German Naval authorities. It takes it
for granted that, at least, within the
practical possibilities of every such
case, the commanders even of subma
rines were expected to do nothing that
could involve the lives of non-combat
ants or the safety of nuetral ships,
even at the cost of failing of their ob
ject of capture or destruction. It con
fidently expects, therefore, that the
Imperial German government will dis
avow the acts of which the govern
ment of the United States complains,
that they will make reparation so far
as reparation is possible for injuries
which are without measure, and that
they will take immediate steps to pre
vent the recurrence of anything so ob
viously subversive of the principles ef
