Note to Germany f .The latest Anerican note to Gemaiiy makes the direct re (jueot that the Gonnangovesn mcnUgive tvssuranca thebt Amer ican lives aird American ships ahall horeai'ter be 'eat'e-.qruarded.

Washington. The United States in its latest note to Germany formally asks the Imperial Government for as surances ;httt measures hereafter vri'A be adopted to safeguard "American lives and American t high seas. The alternative in cae cf re fus?.l is not stated. It was this note to which Willi aa Jennings Eryf.n refused to attach, his slgnaturo, resigning instead his port folio of tate, thereby precipitating a dramatic. Cabinet crisis. Robert -Ians-iig, Secretary cf Stale, and interim, signed the comrntiiiiealioa which went forth with the approval cf Pre.sident Wilson end his entire Cabinet. rrlonoly terms characterize the docuinent, which renew, representa tions made in the American note of Hay 15 after the Lusitania was tor pedoed and sunk. The German Gov ernment, it is declared "must have been misinformed," when it assumed that the .Lusitania carried guns, as of ficial iniWmrtioii is at hand to cor roborate the original contention of the Washington Government that the Lusitania was an unarmed pas senger ship which, since it did not resist capture could not bo sunk with out transferring passengers and crew to a place of safety. The communications informs Ger many that it is "on the principle cf humanity as well as upon the law founded upon this principle that the United ' States mu-t ?tnnd." Oppor tunity is feiven to Germany to submit any evidence that American ofricial3 did not execute their tasks thoroughly in inspecting the Lusitania before sho sailed, but the card in xl fact that ... liner was given no warring and made no resistances and was primarily a passenger ship the American Gov- erniivent declares. throws into the background any special circumstances cf detnil, "and lift.3 the case" out of the cl?.3 cf ordinary subjects of dip lomatic disenssion or of an interna tional controversy. Tho issuance of another statement by former Secretary Ilryan coincident v. ith the publica'tion of ?he note added to the surprise in cilicial quarters at the character of II r. Bryan's argu ment. High officials said the note employed the . very process persua sion which Mr. Bryan advocated and did "not necessarily lead to war.x A copy of the note was delivered to Count" Bernstorff, tho German Am bassador, who declined to comment. In diplomatic circles generally the note seemed to create a favorable im pression. In quarters friendly to Ger many, it was stated tuat the docu ment confirmed a belief held since Count, von Items torff's recent inter view with President Wilson, that tho critical stage had been passed and that with the American vievpoint clearly before it, the German Govern ment would be able to find a way out cf the delemnia that would satisfy the United . States. One phase of the note which at tracted much attention ia diplomatic circles was that relating to mediatory steps on tho part of the United States looking toward a reformation of war fare on the seas generally. In this connc-cti it was ruggosted that the c. ?" im .

Text of the Nota. The text of tbe American rejoinder to the German Government's reply to tuo note fuiic-ying the sinking of the Lnsitanla follows: :e Secretary of State ad interim to:pls3 which lift !t' as the Imperial Ger- the lin: American Ambassador at Ber- "Department of State, "Washington, June 9, 1915. "American Ambassador, Berlin: iuu me msiiu'vieu iu ueiivui leil- j ually the fdiowing note to the Min- j ister of Foreign Affairs: j "In compliance with Your Excel lency's request I did not fail to trans mit to my government immediately upon their recint your note of May 2S in reply to my note cf May 15, and your supplementary note of June 1, setting forth the conclusions so far- as reached by the Imperial Government concerning the attacks on- the Ameri can steamers Cushing and Gulflight. I am no tv instructed by my Govern ment to cqmmunrcats the following in reply: "The Government cf the United State3 no.tes with gratiiieation the full recognition by the Imperial German Government in .discussing the cases of the Cushing and the Gulflight of the principle of the freedom of all parts of the open sea. to 'neutral ships and the frank willingness of the Imperial German Government to acknowledge and meets its liability where the.fact of attack upon neutral ships' which have not been guilty of any hostile act' by German aircraft or vessels of war is satisfactory established and the Government of the United States will in due course y before, the iin perial German Government, as it re quests, full information co'nceinixg the attack on the'ste'amer CuShidg. "With regard to the -Pinking of the steamer Falaba, by Which an Ameri can citizen lost his life, the Govern; ment of the United States i3 surprised to find "Imperial German Govern ment contending that an effort on the part of 'a merchantman lo escape cap ture and secure assistance alters Use obligation of tho officer seeking to make the capture in respect ci tho safety of the lives of those on board the. merchantman although the -.'!--. -I her attempt ..to es cape when torpedoed. These are not new circumstances. They have been in the minds of statesmen and of in ternational jurists throughout the de velopment of n.aval warfare end the government of the United States does not understand that they have ever been 4ild to alter the principles of humanity upSn which it has insisted. Nothing but actual fcrcihl'o resistance or continued erferts to escape by flight when ordered to stop for the purpose of visit en the part of the merchantmen has ever been lield to forfeit ihe lives of her passengers or crew. The government of tho United States, however, does not understand that the Imperial German government is seeking in this case to relieve it-r-elf of liability, but only intends to set forth tho cricumstanses wh'-eh led I tho commander or the submarine to j allow himself to be hurried into the I course which he took. I "Your excellency's note in discuss ing the loss of American lives result ing from the sinking of the steam sh:p Lusitania. adverts at some length to certain information which the Imperial German government has received with regard to the character and outfit of that vessel and your excellency expresses the fear that this information may not have been brought to the attention of the gov ernment of the United States. It is stated in the note that the Lusitania was undoubtedly equipped with mask ed guns, supplied with trained gun ners and special ammunition, trans porting troops from Canada, carrying a cargo not permitted under the law of the United States to a vessel also carrying passengers and serving in virtual effect cs an auxiliary to the naval forces of Great Britain. For tunately these are matters concern ing which the government of the Uni ted States is in a position to give the Imperial German government official information. Of the f?,cts alleged in your excellency's note, if true, the government of the ;United Stat.ss would have bden bound to take of ficial cognisance in performing t3 recognized duty a3 a neutral powe? find in enforcing its national laws. It was its duty to sea that the Lusitania was not armed for offensive action, that she was not serving as a trans port, that she did not carry a cargo prohibited by the statutes of the United States and th?.t, if in fact she wras a naval vessel of Great T3ritain. she should not receive clear- ance as a merchantman; and it per formed that duty and enforced its stautes with scrupulous vigilance through its regularly constituted offi cials. It is able, therefore, to assure the Imperial German government that it has been misinformed. If the Imperial GeTman government should deem itself to be It possession of con vincing evidence that' the officials of, the government of the United States did not perform these duties ' with thoroughness the government oft the United Stot.es sincerely hopes that it will submit that evidence for consid eration. "Whatever may b9 the contentions of the Imperial German government regarding the carriage of contraband of war on board the Lusitania or regarding the explosion of that mate ria ( by tha torpedo ft need only be said :' -n tho ' v.'i?' cf this jrovernmeTt iC. J are iri.e:evaat ca tiJO question cf the ality of the methods. u;cl by the German nayai uathorities in sink?P3 tlio vessel. "But the sinking of passenger ships involves principles of humanity which throw into the background any spe cial circumstances cf detail, that may be thought to affact the cases, princi- man government will no doubt be quick to recoize and acknowledge, out of the class of ordinary subjects cf diplomatic discussion or of interna tional controversy. -Whatever be the other facts regarding .the Lusitania, the principal fact is that a great steamer, primarily and chiefly a con veyance for passengers, and carrying more than a thousand souls who had no part or lot in the conduct of the war, was torpedoed and sunk without so muc-h as a challenge or a warning, and that men, women' and children were sent to their death in circum stances unparalleled in modern war fare. The fact that more than one nuuarea American citizens were among those who perished made it ths duty of the government of the "United States to-speak of these thing's . and once more, with solemn emphasis, to call the attehtioa of the Imperial Ger man government to the Brave trespon sibility which the government of the United States conceives that 4t has nicurred in, this tra.sic occurrence, and to the Indisputable principle upon which- that responsibility rests. The government of the United .States is contending for something much grea cr than mere rights of property or privileges of commerce. It is con tending for nothing less high arid sac red than the rights of humanity, which every government honors itself in re specting and which no government is justified in resigning on-behalf of those under its care and authority. Only her actual resistance to cap ture or refusal to j?tap when ordered to do so tor the -purpose of visit could 'K)v6 afforded Ihe corumaader of the inib-marind any JustlOcation for so roach as putting the lives of thoso on bc3,rd the ship in jeopardy. Thisprin ciple the government of the United States understands the explicit 'in structions issued on August ?,, 1914 by the Imperial Gorman admiralty t6 T commanders at sea to hare recogniz ed and embodied, as do the naval codes of all other nations, and. upon it every traveler and seaman had a, right to depend. It , is upon this piiBciple cf humnity as we!! as upon the law founded upon this principle that the United Statc3 must stand. "The government of the TTn'fA.1 States is happy to observe that Your Excellency's note close's with the in timation that the Imperial German Government isKwllllng, now fts before, to accept the good offices ofthe, Uni ed States in an attempt to come to an understanding ith the government, r.f GraafBfiitain by which the character and conditions of the war upon the sea may be changed. The Govern ment of the United States would con rider it a privilege thus to serve its friends and the world. It stands ready at any, time to convey to either' Gov ernment any Intimation or suggestion tho other 'may be willing to have it convey and cordiaily invites the Im perial German Government to make use of its se'rvicas-in this way at its convenience." The whole world is con cerned in anything that may bring about even a partial accommodation of interests or in any way mitigate the terrors of the pr-sent distressing conflict. "In the meantime, whatever ar rangement may happily be made be tween the parties to the war and whatever may in tBe opinion of t'm Imperial German Government have been the provocation or the circum stantial justitication for the past acts of its commanders at sea, tho Gov ernment of the United Stat' confi dently looks to see the justice and humanity of the Government of Ger many vindicated in all cases where Americans nave been wronjva or their lights as neutrals invaded. "The Government of the United States therefore very earnestly and very solemnly renews the represen tations of its note transmitted to the Imperial German Government on the fifteenth cf May and relies in these representations upon the principles cf humanity, the universally -oeog-nized understandings of intcrnhtionHl law and the ancient freinushiy of the German Nation'. "The Government of the United States cannot admit thatSthe proc lamation of a war zon fron which neutral snips, have been warned to keep away may be made to operate as in any degree an abbrevatlon of the rights either of American ship masters or of American citizens bound on lawful errands as passen gers on merchant ships of belligerent nationality. It does not understand the Imperial German Government to question those rights. It understands it, also, to accept as established be yond question the principle that the lives of non-combatants cannot law fully or rightfully be put in jeopardj by the capture or' destruction of r?r. unresisting merchantman, and to rec ognize, the obligation "to take sufficient precaution to ascertain whether a sus pected merchantman-is in fact cf bo ligerent nationality or is in fact carry ing contraband of war under a neutral flag. The Government of the United States therefore deems it reasonable to expect that it will adopt the meas ures necessary to put these principles into practice in respectof the sa re garding of American lives and Ameri can that china ann nsus rnr n.wii-unpoa I rlr nTTfr Tne KCtiueiiu a wwcoa ( raiteu m " -- ( . . this will be done. ! report from the vanciasi saic ...at mi oerg irom uio t,e .
