The text of the note follows :
"Berlin, July 8.
-The undersigned bus the honor to
ke the following reply to His fOx
ncy, Ambassador Gerard, to the
of the 10th ultimo reference to
i Impairment of Ameniican Interests
the German suhmarlne war.
_rTbe Imiierlal (Jovernment learned
ftith satisfaction from the note* hotv
ruestly the Government of the United
ites is concerned In seeing the prin
ces of humanity realized in the pre
wt war. Also this api>eal finds ready
irto Id Germany and the Imperial Gov
(fBment is quite willing to permit its
libtements and decisions in the present
' se to be governed by the principles
humanity just as.it has d^ne al
jg* ' , V". ?
"The Imjierhil (Jovernment welcom
I with gratitude wbeif the American
fiment in the note of May 15 it
recalled that <iennany always, had
permitted Itself to be KiireriMd by the
principle* of progress and buuiniti]
in (leftUuv with the law <>f maritime i
war, Nlwo the time when Frederick
the Great negotiated with John Adam?,
Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jeffer- j
bou the treaty of friendship and com.
merce of Keptejadwr 0. 178ft, Itetweeu
Prussia and the Republic of the Went
German and American statesmen have.
In faet, always vtood together in the
struggle for the freedom <j|f the scan j
and fof the protection of peaceable!
trade, in tbe Interna tlonal pfaceed
lugs which alnce have been conducted
for the regulation of the laws of marl
time war Germany and America have
Jointly" advocated progreealve prlnel
i 'lex, especially the abolishment of the
right of capture at sea and the pro
tection of the interests of neutral*,
"Kven at the beginning <) f the pre
sent war the German Government im
mediately declared Its willingness in
response to proposal* of the American
Government, to ratify the Declaration
of Iioiulou and thereby subject itself
in the ukc of its naval forces to all the
reatrlctlona provided therein In favor
of neutrals. Germany likewise has
l>een always tenacious of the principle
that war should be conducted against
the armed and organised forces of an
enemy country, but that tite enemy
civilian population must he spared as
far aa possible from the measures of
war. The Imperial Government cher
ishes the definite hope that aome way
will be found when jteace is concluded,
or perhaps earlier, to regulate the law
of maritime war In a manner guaran
teeing the freedom of the seas, and
will welcome It with gratitude a"d sat
isfaction if it can work hand-in-hand
with the American Government on that
occasion.
"If In the present war the princi
ples Which should be the ideal of the
'future have l>eeii traversed more and
more, the longer lta duration, the Ger
man Government has no guilt therein.
It is known to the Amerllcan Govern-*
ment how Germany's adversaries, by
completely paralyzing peaceable traffic
between Germany and neutral coun
tries, have aimed from the very' l>egtn
nlng and with Increasing lack bf con
sideration at the destruction, not so
much o t the armed forces as the life
of the, German Nation, repudiating In |
doing so all the rules of international :
law aud disregarding all rights of neu
trals.
"On November 3, 1914, England de- '
clared the North -Sea a war area andj
by planting poorly anchored mlnek and |
by the stoppage and capture of vessels
made passage extremely dangerous apd i
difficult for neutral shipping, so (by?)' j
that actually blockading n&utral coasts .
and ports contrary to all International
law. Long before the beginning of
submarine war England practically
completely Intercepted legitimate neu
tral navigation to Germany also. Thus
Germany was driven to. a submarine
war on trade. On November 14. 1914,
the English Premier declared in the.
House ^M^ommons that It was one of
Kngland'a i>rlii<iiMtl tasks to prevent
food for the German (simulation froiu
reaching Germany via neutral is?rta.
Since MaiVh 1 KiiKland Iihh iHtii tak

ther formality nil ui^rihtndtiK1 pro

chandise coming froiu Germany. even

also with the Boers, the German ja*o
l?le U now to Im> given the cholcu. of
lierishiug front starvation with ita ^o
men m ltd child reo or of relinquishing
ItB independence. " ? ^ ?
"While our ciu-mles thus loudly ami
proclaimed Without mercy until
our utter de??| ruction, we were conduct
ing a war In self-defense for our Na
tional e and for the sake of
pwu* of an assured iiermantuay. We
have Iteen obliged to adot>t a subma
rine warfare to meet the declared In
tent Ions of our enemies and the meth
ods of warfare* adopted hy them in
contravention of International law.
"With all Its efforts In principle to
protect netitral life and property from
damage aa mueh aa possible the Ger
man Government recognized unreserv
edly in Its memorandum of February
I that the Interests of neutrala might
suffer from the Hulunarlne warfare.
However, the Amerlcau government
will alao understand and appreciate
that in the tight for existeuce whleh
haa been foreed upon Germany by It*
adveraarlea and aunounced by them it
la tlici sacred duty of the Imperial Gov
ernment to do all within ita power to
protect and aave the lives of German
subjects, if the Imperial Government
were derelict in these ita dutlea It
would be guilty before God and hlatory
of the violation of thoae principles of
highest humanity which are the foun
dation of every National existence.
"The caae of the Lusltanla allow*
with horrible elearneaa to what Jeop
ardising of human Uvea the manner of
conducting wet* employed by our ad
veraarlea leads. In the most drrect
eontrudlctlon of Internatloifkr law, all
distinctions between merchantman and
war veaaels Intve Imvii obliterated by
the order to British merchantment to
arm themaelvea and to ram submarines,
and the promiae of rewards therefor
nod neutrala who uae merchantmen aa
traveler** thereby have been exposed in
an Increasing degree to all the dangera
of war.
"If the commander of the German
submarine which destroyed the Lusi
tanla had caused the crew and passen
gers to take to the boats before .firing
a torpedo this would have "meant the
aure destruction of hia own vessel. Af
ter the experiences in aillking much
smaller and less seaworthy vessels, it
was to be expected that a mighty ahip
like the lAudtania would remain above
water lpng enough eyen after the tor
pedoing to permit paaaengera to enter
the ship's boats. Circumstances of a
'very peculiar kind, especially the pre
sehce on board of large quantities of
highly exploalve materials (^yord omit
ted, possibly 'dlsslprfted') this expecta
tion. In addition it may l?e pointed
out that If tlie Lusitanla had l>een spar
ed thousands of cases of munitions
would have been sent to Germany'* en
emies and -thereby thousands of Ger
man mothers and children rObla?d-of
Preadwimiera.' .

"In order to furnish adequate fftetft

posal to Increase -the number of avail

"J lie Imperial government believes
it can assume that In this manner ade

apiK'ar to lie no compelling necessity
-for American cltlaens to travel tp Eu
rope in time of war on ships carrying
an enemy flag.
"In particular the Imperial Govern
ment Is unable to admit that Ameri

ship through the mere fact of their
presence on board. .
"Germany merely fallowed Eng
land's example when she declared part
of the high sea an ^irea of war. Con

from accidents tp which neutrals are
at all times exposed at the seat of war

within dangerous localities in spite of
previous warnings.
"If, however, it should not be pos
sible for the American Government to
acquire an adequate numlier of neu

Government Is prepared to interpose
no objections to the placing under the
American flag by the American Gov
ernment of four enemy passenger
steamers for passenger- traffic botween
North America and Englamh Assur
ances of 'free stind safe' passage for
American passenger steamers would

"The President* of the United States

deserving of thanks, fo communicate
and suggest proj>osal to -the Govern

icference to the alternation of marl

will "always be glad to make use of
the good offices of the President and
hopes that his efforts in the present
case, as well as in the direction of the
lofty ideal of the freedom of the seas,
will lead to an understanding. .
