The iaauanea of another statement by former Secretary Bryan coincident with the publication of the note added to tip surprise In official quarters at the character of " Mr. Bryan's argu ment. High officials aald the note employed the vary proceae—persua sion—which Mr. Bryan, advocated and did not necessarily lead to war. A copy of the note was delivered to Coant Bornstorff, the German Am baaaador. who deellned to comment. In diplomatic circles generally the note aeemed to create g favorable im preeaion. In quartora friendly to Ger many, it waa ate ted that the docu ment eostflrmed • belief held alnce Count Ten Bernstortfa recent inter view wigs President WUaon, that the critical at a«e had been paaaed and that with the American viewpoint clearly before It the German Govern ment would be able to And a way out of Ute delomma that would satlafy the United States. One phaae of the noto which at traoUJ much attention in diplomatic circles waa that relating to mediatory atepa on the put of the United States looking toward a reformation of war fare on the seas generally. In this connection It waa suggested that the chief difficulty might be an insistence by Germany that Allies refrain from Interfering, not only with food stuffs ooaslgsed to her civilian popu lation but with raw materials of all kin da.

The fact that more than one huadred American cttltens were among thoeo who perished made tt ths daty of the government of the United Statoe to speak of these things and oaoe more, with solemn emphaais, to cell the attention of the Imperial Oer man government to the grave respon sibility which the government of the Unltod Statee conceives that It haa nicurred In this tragic occurrence, aad to the Indisputable principle upon which that responsibility rests. The government of the United States is contending for something much great er than mere, rights of property or privllegee of commerce.
