For.instance, Germany al lowed, thc transportation of provis ions to England from Denmark until today, although she is well able, by h?r sea forces, to prevent lt. In con tradistinction to this attitude, England baa dot even hesitated At a second Infringement of International law, if by such means she could paralyze the peaceful commerce of Germany with neutrals.

AMERICAN PROTEST ! t PAGE ONE.) self obliged to point out with the greatest emphasis thtft a trame ox arms, estimated at many hundreds of millions? is being carried on between Am?Heap .firms and Germany's ene mies. Germany fully comprehends that the practice of right and the toMr] ration of wrong on the part of neu trals are- matters absolutely at the U?SC?V???OMB of stut?-al?. atid iavo?ve no formal violation of ' neutral*?/1 Germany, therefore, did pot complain Of any formal violation of neutrality, bul the German government, in view of complete evidence before it, can not help pointing out that it, togeth er with the entire public opinion of Germany, feels itself to be. peverely prejudiced by the fact that neutrals In safeguarding their righten legits mate commerce with Germany ac cording to international law have, up ?*?. tim prCwC?t,- ???hi?i"3^ ? ii?, or osiy'l insignificant, results, while they are. making unlimited use of their right by carrying on contraband traffic with Great Britain and eur other enemies. "It is "If it ia a formal right of neutrals to take no steps to protect their legi timate trade with Germany, and even to allow themselves to be Influenced in the direction ot the conscious and wilful restriction of their trade, oh the] other bund, they ha Ve the perfect right, which they unfortunately do not exercise, to cease contraband trade/ especially i narm-, with Germany's enemies. Using Some Method. "In view ot this situation Germany, after, 'six months of patient walting, sees herself obliged to answer Great Britain's v murderous method of navnl warfare with sharp counter measures, j It Great Britain, in her fight against | Germany, summons hunger as an ally, tor the purpose ot imposing upon civilized people ot seventy . millions j the choice between destitution and] atarvntion, or submission to Creal I Britain's commercial will., then Ger-1 many is determined to take up the gauntlet and appeal to similar allies. .

"Moreover, the Oortr.au government ts resolved to suppress with all the means at Us disposal, the importation of war material to Great Britain and ber allies? and she takes it for grant ed that neutral government?, which so far bave taken- no. steps against the traffic tr. arms witt Germany's ene mies, will not oppose forcible sup pression by Germany of this trad a.

This -Js a neutral result of mute warfare, which even under the strictest observance of the limits of International law endangers every Ship approaching the mine area. The German government considers itself entitled to hope that all neutrals will acquiesce in these measures as they have done in the case of the grievous .amaices inflicted upon them by Brit Ish measures, all the more so as Ger many bs received, for the protection of neutral shipping, tven in the naval war tone, to Oo ever>*liing which ls at all compatible with lae attainment of th ta object. Gave Ample Notice. "In view of the fact that Germany gave the fir?t proof of her good will in fixing a time limit of not less than fourteen days' before the execution of said measures, so that neutral ship ping might have an opportunity of making arrangements to avoid threat ening danger, this can most surely be achieved by remaining away from the naval war tone. Neutral vessels, Witch, despite this ample notice which greatly affects the achievement of our alma In our war against Great Britain, enter these closed waters will them selves bear the responsibility for any unfortunate accidents that may occur, Germany disclaims all responsibility for such accidents and consequence* "Germany,has further expressly an nounced the destruction of all enemj merchant vjassels found within the wai zone, but not the destruction of al' merchant vessels, as the United Statei seems erroneously to have understood This restriction which Germany 1m poses upon Itself is prejudicial to th? aim of our warfare, especially as ii the application of the conception o contraband practiced by Great Brltati towards Germany-which presuroptioi will not also be similarly interprete* by Germany-the presumption will be that neutral ships have contrabani aboard.
