United States to . them aside. Government of Un'lc-d States notes with satisfaction that the Imperial German government rec ognizes without reservation the va lidity of the principles insisted on in several communications which this government had addressed to Imper ial German government in regard to Its announcement of a war zone, f.nd the use or submarines against m?r antmen on the high seas j "The principle that the high seas are free, that the character and cargo of merchantmen must first be ascer tained before she can lawfully regard as "deliberately unfriendly" any repetition by German naval com manders of acts in contravention of American rights. The United St?tes announces that It will continue to contend for the freedom Of the sea, from whatever quarter violated, with out conipomise and at any cost. In diplomatic and official quarters it is regarded emphatic pronouncement by the United States since the beginning of the correspondence with tbs Euro pean belligerents. On the assumption that Germany j seized or destroyed, and that has already admitted the illegality of lives of non-combatants may In her practices by attempting to justify them as retaliatory moves against Great Britain, the United States ex presses the belief that Germany will ."no longer- refrain fromdisavowing the wanton act of its naval command er in sinking the Lusitania from oifer jng reparation for the American lives lost, so far as reparation can be made for the needless destruction of linman life by an illegal act.
