TUK AMERICAN NOTE
Reiterating in so many words the
American uot < of May 13th, insistin
that the German government must
recognize the rights of Americans
ou the hiyi seas and asking that it
guarantee that they Bhall not again
he invaded, the second American
note ou the Lusitania and other
uutstious at issue between the Un
ited States and Germany insists that
t '.lose are questions that, are "out
of the class of ordinary subjects of
diplomatic discussion or internation
al controversy." I
The note suggests that the Un
ited States "expects" , Germany to
recognize the principles set forth by
this t.untry and to put them into
practice as far as that is neces
sary to safeguard American lives
aad ships.
i he note is coucneu in iridium i
diplomatic language, but it states
the i osition of the United States |
so plainly that there can be no mis-j
understanding concerning it.
lUi'erring to the German rep re-;
sentations concerning the sinking i
of the Lusitania, the note says:
"Whatever may be the contention ■
oi tht Imperial German government
rt'gardin^ the carriage of contraban |
on board the Lusitania, or regard
ing the explosion of that material
by t'-e sinking, it need only be said
that in the view of this government
these contentions are irrelevant to
the question of the legality of the
methods used by the German na
val autaorities in sinking that ves
sel. The sinking of passenger
shi'>s Involves principles oi humanit
>vhie' throw into the background
any sj.-ulal case, principles-, which
lift t, as the imperial government
will no doubt be quick tc recognize
and acknowledge, out of the class
oi ordinary subjects for diplomatic
discussion or international contro
versy.
"Y.'bat ever may be the facts re
garding the Lusitania, the principal
fact is that a great steamer,
primat'ly and chiefly a conveyance
for passengers and carrying more
than 1,000 souls, who had no part
or lot ia the .conduct o£ the war
was tor^edoeU and sunk without so
much as a challenge or a warning
and th;>t men and women and chil
dren were sent to their death un
der circumstances unparalleled in
modern warfare..
"The government of the United
Statts ia contending for something
much greater than mere rights of
property or privileges of.commerce;
it is contending for notning less
high Ai-d sacred than the.rights of
humai.ity, which every government
honors itself in respecting, and
which i-.e government is justified in
resifiiug on behalf of those under
its care and authority
"ihejact mat over auv
citizens peTished made it the duty
of ths United Slates with solemn
emphasis to .call the imperial Ger
man government's attention to grav
responsibility the United ! States
conceived it had Incurred in this
'ragic occurrence, and to the in
disputable principle upon which
t':is responsibility rests." 1
Keferring to the German conten
tion that he Lusitania .was armed
with caunous anl carrying Canadian
troops, the note says:
"The United States officers
scrupulously investigated these
things before permitting the .Lusi
tania to sail. If the imperial gov
ernment has convincing proof or evi
deuce that the I'uited States offi
cials .lid not perierm their duties,
the L'n.'ted States hopes Germany
will submit such evidence.. Mean
while the United States confidently
looks to see justice and .humanity
of the German government vindicat
ed in all cases where American.citi
zens have been wronged."
Refeiring to the siukinp of .the
Falaba, th« note says: "The Un
ited States is surprised to.find the
impetial government of Germany
contending a merchantman's at
tempt to escape would alter a war
shir) commander's obligation respect
ing the safety .of those aboard said
merchantman, althought the vessel
ceas<-d attempting to escape be
fore a torpedo was fired. "This

obligation," the note continues, "is
not new. It has .been recognized
throughout tho development of na
val warfare."
Referring to the German subma
rine warfare in the so-called war
zome, the note says:
"The government of the .United
States cannot admit that by the
proclamation establishing a .war
zone wherein neutral ships have
b-">en warned to keep away can.be
made to operatee as In any degree
an abrievation of the .rights of
either Amerlcau ' shipmasters or
American citizens bound on lawful
errands as passengers on merchant
ships of belligerent nationality. It
does not understand the imperial
government to question those rights.
The United States therefore, earnest
ly and solemnly Teiiews its repre
senta<'\ns made may; 13th, relying
upon the principles of humanity,
the universally- recognized un-J
ders'andings of international law,
and the aucient friendship of the
German nation to find the right
solution. 1
Closing the recitation of Ameri
ca's contentions, tile note.says:
"The United States therefore
deems it reasonable to expect the
imperial German government to put
into practice the principles respect
ing the safeguarding of American
lives and ships and again asks as
surances that this.be done."
The United States tenders her
good offices in any effort .Ger
many might make to adjust the
blockade and commerce war betwceu
that country and Great Britain iu
these words: j
"The United States is liappy to
observe that your excellency's note
closes with the intimation that the
imperial German government is will
ing, now as before, to accept the
mod offices of thf United States iu
an attempt to como to an under
standing of the war upon the sea
may v.e changed. The government
of the United States would consider
it a privilege thus to .serve its
friends and the world. It stands
ready at any time to convey to any
government in Europe any intimation
or suggestion auv other government
may be willing to have it convey,
and it cordially invites the.imperial
German government to make use
of its services in this way with its
convenience."
