The (leriuan Government liaiuled OVer to the pro|>er naval IHthorl(lW) for curly investigation the evidence comvrnlhg the Sussex us communlcat <?<1 by the Government of the Fnltod states. Judging by the results that the investigation has hitherto yielded th?* German Government is aiivo to tht? iMjNxililllty that t 1m? mIi t p mentioned In the note of April 10 as having been tor|K>(l(NHl hy a Gerinun submarine Is actually identical with tae BlliUff "The < lerinan Government begs to roaerve further communication on the mutter until certain points are ascer tained, wlrieh art* of decisive lni|H>r tance for establishing the facta of the case. Should It turn out that the commander was wrong in assuming the vessel to he a man-of-war the (iceman Government will not fall to draw the .conHequeuoca resulting there from. "In connection with the caao of the Sussex the Government of the United Static made a aeries of statements the prist of which Is the assertion that tf.e ii.cldcnt Is to he considered hut one Instance of a deliberate method of indiscriminate detraction of ves sels of all sorts, nationalities and des t inatlons by (lerinan submarine com manders. "The German Government must em phatically repudlute the assertion. The German Government, however, thinks It of little avail to enter into detalla in the present atage of nffalrH, more partbularly as the Government ??f the United States omitted to substantiate the assertion by reference to concrete facts. "The German Government will only state It has iui|H>scd far-reaching re straints upon the use of the subma rine wenpon, solely In consideration of neutrals' interests, In spite of the fact that these restrictions are necessarily of advantage to Germany's enemies. No such consideration has ever been shown neutrals by ( I rea t Britain and her Al ItCHT "The German submarine forces have had. in fact, orders to conduct, the sub marine warfare In accordance with the general principle* of visit and search and the dearuction of merchant vessels recognized by International law, the sole exception being the conduct of war fan* against enemy trade curried on enemy freight ships encountered In the war zone surrounding Grcwit Britain. With regit rd to these no assurance has ever been given to the Government of the United States. No such assur ances are contained in the declaration of February s. 101(1. "The German Government cannot ad mit any doubt that these orders were given or are executed in good faith Krrors actually occurred.. They can in no kind <>f warfare be avoided alto- 1 get her. Allowances must be made in the conduct of naval warfare against, an enemy resorting to all kinds of ru-es whether j?ennlssnhle or Illicit. "Hut ji | >ii r t from the jiossihilit.v ?>f errors naval warfare just like war fare on land, implies unavoidable dan gers for neutral ]?erson* and goods en tering the lighting /.(Hie. Kvcn iu eases where the naval action is confined In nrdinar.N forms of cruiser warfare neu tral persons and goods rc|*?atodly come to grief. "Tin* (German (Government has made several |>r<>|K>sals to t lit* < Government of (lie I'nited Stales in order to reduce to a in i ti i in tin) for American travelers and goods the iulierent dangers of naval warfare. I'nfortunntely the (Govern ment of I he I'nited States decided not to accept the pro|H>saIs. (lad it ac cepted the (Government of the United States would have been instrumental j in preventing the greater part of the j aorident.s that American citizens have met with in the meantime. ?"Tiie (German (Government still stands j by its offer to come to an agreement , a l< >ng. t liese I i nes. "A-> the (German ( Government rej???nt- ] i-dly declared, it cannot disj>ense with the use of the submarine \veaj?on in the conduct of warfare against enemy trade, The (German (Government, how ever. has now decided to make a fur ther con?-es>i(>n. adapting methods of submarine war t<< the Interests of neu trals, "In reaching this decision the (.Ger man (Government is actuated ivy consid erations which are above the level of disputed question. "The (German (Government attaches no less importance to the snored prin ciples of humanity than the (Govern ment of the United States. It again fully takes into account tliat both gov ernments for many years coo|>c rated in developing international law in con formity with these principles, the ulti mate object of which ha* always been to confine warfare on sea and Land to armed forc<?s of t>elligerents and safe guard as far as {tossible noil-combat' ants ngahwt the horrors of war. But although these considerations are of great weight, they alone would not un der present circumstances have deter mined the altitude of the (German Gov ernment. "For in answer to the ap]>enl by the (Government of the I'nited States on l*-haif of the marred principles of hu manity and international law the Ger man Government must repeat once more with all emphasis, that It was not the tjcramn, but the British Gov ernment which ignored all accepted rules of international law and extend ed this terrible war to the lives and property of non-combatants, having no regard whatever for the interests and rights of neutrals and non -combatants that through this method of warfare have been severely injured. "In self-defense against the Illegal conduct of British warfare, while fight ing a bitter struggle for National exis tent. Germany had to resort to the hard but effective w?*apon of subma rine warfare. MA? matter* ntaiui the (Jeriuan (Joy* eminent ca n not but rdternle rr grot that the sentiments of humanity which the Uoveriitufiit of the Oni(e<l Stah m extend with such fervor to the unhappy victims of submarine warfare art* Dot extended with the same warmth of feeling to many millions of wouien ??hI children who, according to the I vowed Intention of the Itritlsh Gov ernment, shall in* tdarved and who. hy i oifTerlngs. ?b*ll fount the victorloua -irmles *>f the <Vntral Power* Into ig nominious capitulation. "The (ierman Government, iu agree luent with the German people, fall* to understand thin discrimination, all the more ?s It ha* re|teatedly and explicit ly declared Itself ready to use the aub marine weapon in strict conformity with the rulca of international law an recognised l>efore the outbreak of the war, If Great Hritain likewise was roa^ dy to adapt the conduct of warfare to th?**e ritlea. "Several attempts made l?y the Gov ernment ?>f the United Htates to pre vail upon the llritlsh Government to act a<*cordlngly failed because of flat refusal on the jMtrt of the llrltish- Gov ernimnt. Moreover Great Britain again and flgflin has violated interna tional law. Mirpasslng all hound* In outraging neutral right*. The latent measure, adopted by <Jr?s?t ltritain, de claring German bunker coal contraband and establishing conditions under which Kngllsh bunker coal alone la sup piled to neutralH is nothing but an un heard of attempt by way of exaction to force neutral tonnage Into the ser vice of British trade war. "The Herman people Know mat ine (lut'prnmeut of the United States has the power to pontine the war to armed fon-es of the belligerent countries, in the Interest of humanity and mainten ance of International law. The Gov* eminent of the United States would Vuiv? been certain of attaining this end had It been determined to insist, against Great Britain on the incontro vertible rights to freedom of the seas. Hut aw "matters stand the German peo ple are under the impression that the Government of the United States while demanding that Germany, struggling for existence, shall restrain the use of an effective weajW?n and while rnukiug. compliance with these demands a con dition for (maintenance <?f relations with Germany, confines Itself to pro tests against Illegal methods adopted by Germany's enemies. Moreover, the German people know to what consider able extent its enemies are supplied with all kinds of war material froirt. the United States. It will, therefore, be understood that the appeal made by the Government of the United States to sentiments of hu manity and principles of International (aw cannot under the elreumstnjjees meet the same hearty response from the Gorman i>cople which such an appeal otherwise always is certain to tind here. If the German Government, neverthe less, Is resolved to go to the utmost limit of concessions It has been guided uot alone by the friendship connecting the two great Nations for over one hun dred years but also by the thought of the great doom which threatens the en tire civilized world should the cruel ?ind sanguinary war be extended and prolonged. "The German Government conscious of Germany's strength twice within the last few months announced before the world Its readiness to make peace on a basis safeguarding Germany's vital in terests, thus indicating that it is not Germany's fault if i>eaeo is still with held from the Nations of Europe. The German Government feels all the more justified* In declaring that responsibil ity eould not be borne before the fo'tiin ! of mankind, and in history if after 121 months of the war's duration the sub marine question under discussion be tween the German Government and the I Government of the United States were to take a turn seriously threatening | maintenance of i>enoe between the two Nations. "As far as lies with the Gerimin Gov ernment., it wishes to prevent things ! from taking such a course. The Ger ; man Government, moreover, is prepar ! ?tl to do its utmost to confine opera tions of the war for the rest of its dur ation to the fighting forces of the bel I liferents, thereby also insuring free dom of the seas, a principle upon which the German Government believes, now j as before, that it is in agreement with 1 the Government of the United States, i "The German Government, guided by this idea, notifies the Government ; of the United States that German naval fon-es have received the following or ider: "In accordance with the general ; principles of visit and search and the! i destruction of the merchant vessels re i cognized by international law such ves sels, both within and without the area j declared a naval war zone, shall not be ! sunk without warning and without sav i ing human lives unless the ship attempt ! to escape or offer resistance.' "Hut for neutrals cannot e.\|>ect that ! Germany, forced to tight for existence, shall.' for the sake of neutral inter ! ests, r?>strict the use of an effective. : weajH)n if Ihe enemy is permitted to continue to apply ot will methods of I warfare violating rules of intermit ion ! al law. Such a demand would he in ! computable with the character of neu tralltv and the German Government is convinced that the Government of the United States does not think of mak ing such a demand, knowing that the Government of the United States re-1 pen ted ly declares that it la determined to restore the principle of freedom of the sea*, from whatever quarter it has been violated. "Accordingly tfbe German Govern ment is confident that In consequence of the new orders issued to the naval forces the Government of the United States will also now consider nil >m pediment* removed which may have been in the way of mutual co-oi>eration toward restoration of the freedom of the seas during the war, as suggested in the note of July 23, 1015, and it does not doubt thmtT-the Government of the United States will now demand and insist that the British Government rfinll forthwith observe the rules of in ternational law universally recognized before the war as are laid down in the notes presented *>y tt?e Government of the United States to the British Gov ernment IVcember 28, 1014. and Nov ember f?, 101S. "Should steps taken by the Govern ment of the United States not atUlu the object It desires to have th*. laws Of humanity followed by ?ll Indllgur ?ni Nations, the German Government would then be facing a now situation In which it must reaenre to ltaelf com plete liberty ol decision. ?The undersign**! avails himself of thin opportunity to renew to the Amor lean Aiubassalx?r assuramva of highest consideration," WawbhiKtoirK Note In Reply.

"Throughout the months which have elapeed since tho Imperial Government announced on February 4, 11)15, Its sub marine |x>llcy. now happily abandoned, the Government of the United States has been constantly guided and re Ht rained by motive# of friendship in Its patient efforts to bring to an amicable settlement the critical questions aris ing from that policy. . Accepting the Imi>erial Government's declaration of its abandonment of the policy which has so seriously menaced the good re lations between the two countries, the Government of .the United States will rely upon a scrupulous execution hence forth of the now altered policy of thp Im]M>rlal Government such as will re move the ]irinMpul danger to an In terruption of the good relations exist ing between the United States and Germany "The Government of the United States feels It necessary to state that It takes It for granted that the im perial German Government does not lutein! to Imply that the maintenance of Its newly announced policy is in any way contingent upon the course or re-' suit of diplomatic negotiations between tho Government <>f tlie United States and and other belligerent Government, notwithstanding the fact that certain passages in the Imperial Government's note of the 4th instant might appear to be susceptible of that construction.
