Washington. Prompt An

Berlin Germany withholds Its final
derision on the demands advanced by
Ihe United States government In con
nection with the sinking of the Lusl
tanla, until the receipt of an answer
from the United States to tho note,
which Ilerr von Jagow, the foreign
minister has delivered to Ambassador
Gerard in reply to the American note
received by the German government
on May 15.
Attitude of Germany.
In its' reply the Gorman govern
ment declares that It Is not Its Inten
tion to submit neutral ships In the
-war zone, which are guilty of no hos
tile acts, to attacks by submarines
or aeroplanes; that It Is Investigat
ing the circumstances in connection
with the attacks on American steam
ers Cushlng and Gulfllght, and that
In all cases, where neutral vessels,
through no fault of their own, have
Tjeen damaged, Germany will pay In
demnification. Plea of Self Defense."
The reply urges that In the case of
Ihe Lusltanla, which Germany alleges
was armed and carried large stores
of war munitions, it was "acting in
Justified self-defense in seeking with
.nil the means of warfare at its dispo
sition to protect the lives of Us sol
diers by destroying ammunition in
tended for the enemy."
The German government recalls
the proposals submitted by the Unit
'ed States government to Berlin and
London, designed to end the sub
marine warfare and the shutting out
fif food supplies from Germany,
which, It declares, failed of their pur
pose because of the refusnl of the
British government to ngree to them.
Full Text of German Note.
Berlin (Via London), The follow
ing Is the text of the G-erman note In
reply to tho American note dealing
with tho Lusltanla affair.
"Tho undoreigned has the honor to
submit to Ambassador Gerard the fol
lowing answer to the communication
of May 5 regarding the Injury of
American Interests through German
.submarine warfare.
"The Imperial German government
'has subjected the communication of
.the American government to a thor
ough investigation. It entertains
also a keen wish to co-operate in a
frank and friendly way in clearing up
jl possible misunderstanding which
may have arisen in the relations be
tween the two governments through
the events mentioned by the Amer
ican government. Regarding, firstly,
the cases of the American steamers
Cushlng and Gulfllght, the American
embassy lias already been informed
that the German government has no
.intention of submitting neutral ships
in the war zone, which are guilty ot
no hostile acts, to attacks by a sub
marine or submarines, or aviators
On the contrary, tho German forces
have repeatedly been Instructed spe--ciflcally
to avoid attacks on such
ships.
Blames It onthe British.
"If neutral ships in recont months
have suffered through the German
submarine warfare, owing to mis
takes in identification, it is a ques
tion only of quite isolated and excep
tional cases, which can be attributed
to the British government's abuse o
flags, together with the suspicious or
culpable1 behavior of tho masters ot
tho ships.
"Tho German government in all
cases In which It has been shown by
its Investigations that a neutral ship,
not itself at fault, was damaged by
German submarines, or aviators, has
expressed regret over the unfor
tunato accident, and, if Justified by
conditions, has offered indemnifica
tion. Will Report Later.
"The cases of the Cushlng and tho
Gulfllght will be treated on tho samo
principles. An investigation of both
canes Is in progress, the result of
which will presently be communi
cated to tho embassy. The Investiga
tion can, If necessary, be supple
mented by an international call on
the international commission of in
quiry, as provided by article HI of
Mexicans Kill Two Texans.
Washington, D. C Rangers Joseph
Bates and E. A. Ilulen and Customs
Inspector Josoph Sitters have been
killed by Mexican bandits, In Texas,
near Pllarqs.
Dutch Protest to Germany.
Loudon.-rlt Is stated there that the
Dutch government has Instructed its
minister In Berlin to lodge a protest
against the attack on tho Dutch steam
trawler Gravenhage by a German
aeroplane off Ameland, a Dutch Island
In tho North sea.
The Hague agreement ot October 18,
1907.
"When sinking the British steam
er Falaba, the commander of tho
German submarine had tho intention
of nllowlhg tho passengers and crow
a full opportunity for a safo escape.
Only when the master did not obey
the order to heavo to, but fled and
summoned help by rocket signals,
did tho German commander order
the crew and passcngora by slgnala
and megaphones to leave tho Bhlp
within ten minutes. Ho actually al
lowed them twenty-thrco minutes'
time nnd llred tho torpedo only
when suspicious craft were hastening
to tho assistance of tho Falaba.
Case of the Lusltanla.
"Itegardlng loss of life by tho sink
ing of tho British passenger steamer
LuEltnnla, the German government
has already expressed to tho neutral
governments concerned Its keen re
gret that citizens of their states lost
their lives.
"On this occasion the Imperial gov
ernment cannot, however, escape tho
Impression that certain important
facts having a direct hearing on the
sinking of the Lusltanla may hnvu
oscaped tho attention of the Ameri
can government.
"In the interest of a clear and com
plete understanding, which Is the aim
of both governments, tho Imperial
government considers It first neces
sary to convince Itself that tho In
formation accessible to both govern
ments about the facts of the case Is
complete and In accord.
"The government of tho United
Slates proceeds on tho assumption
that tho Lusltanla could bo regarded
as an ordinary unarmed merchant'
man. The Imperial government al
lows Itself In this connection to
point out that the Lusltanla was ono
of the largest and fastest British
merchant ships, built with govern
ment funds as an auxiliary cruiser
and carried expressly as such In the
'navy list' Issued by tho British ad
miralty. Alleges Vessel Was Armed.
"It Is further known to the Im
perial government, from trustworthy
reports from its agents and neutral
passengers, that for a considerable
time practically all the more valu
able British merchantmen have been
equipped with cannon and ammuni
tion and other weapons and manned
with persons who have been specially
trained In serving guns. The Lusl
tanla, too, according to Information
received here,, had cannon aboard,
which were mounted nnd concealed
below decks.
"Tho Imperial government further
has the honor to direct the particular
attention of tho American govern
ment to the fact that the British
admiralty, In a confidential Instruc
tion issued in February, 1915, rec
ommended Its mercantile shipping
not only to seek protection under
neutral flags, but also, while thus
disguised, to attack German subma
rines by ramming. As a special in
ducement for merchant ships to de
stroy submarines, tho British govern
ment also offered high pries and has
already paid such rewards.
Not Undefended Ships.
"The imperial government, in view
of these facts, Indutlably known to
It, Is unable to regard British mer
chantmen in the zone of naval opera
tions specified by the admiralty staff
of tho German navy as 'undefended.'
German commanders consequently
are no longer able to observe the cus
tomary regulations ot the prize law,
which they before always followed.
'.'Fjnally, the imperial government
must point out particularly that tho
Lusltanla on its last trip, as on
earlier occasions, carried Canadian
troops and war material, including
no less than 5,400 cases of ammuni
tion intended for the destruction of
the brave German soldiers who are
fulfilling their duty with Belf-sacrlfico
and devotion in the fatherland's serv
ice. "The German .government believes
that it was acting in justified self
defense in seeking with all the means
of warfare at its disposition to pro
tect the lives of Its soldiers by de
stroying ammunition Intended for the
enemy.
British Owners at Fault.
'The British shipping company
must have been aware of the danger
to which the passengers aboard tho
Lusltanla were exposed under these
conditions. The company In embark
ing them, notwithstanding this, at
tempted deliberately to use the lives
of American citizens as protection
for tho ammunition aboard, and acted
against the clear provisions of tho
American law which expressly pro
hibits the forwarding of passengers
on ships carrying ammunition and
provides a penalty therefor. Tho com
pany, therefore, is wantonly guilty of
the death of so many passengers.
"There can be no doubt, nccording
to the definite report of the sub
marine's commander, which Is fur
ther1 confirmed by all other informa
tion, that the quick sinking of tho
Lusltanla is primarily attributed to
tho explosion of tho ammunition ship

ment caused by a torpedo. The Lusl
tanla's passengorB would otherwise,
In all human probability,, have been
saved.
''The imperial government consid
ers the above mentioned facts Im
portant enough to recommend them
to the attentive examination of the
American government.
Waiting for an Answer.
"Tho imperial government, while
withholding its final decision on tho
demands advanced on tho sinking ot
tho Lusltanla until receipt of an an
swer from the American government,
feels Impelled In conclusion to recall
here nnd now, that It took cognlzanco
with satisfaction of the mediatory
proposals submitted by tho United
States government to Berlin and Lon
don ns a basis for a modus vlvcndi
for conducting the maritime warfare
between Gormnny and Great Britain.
The Imperial government, by Its
vendlness to enter upon a discussion
of these proposals, then demonstrated
Its good Intentions In ample fashion.
The realization of these proposals
was defeated, as Is well known, by
the declinatory attitude of tho British
government.
"The undorslgned takes occasion,
etc. (Signed) JAGOW.".
Tells Why Decision Withheld.
Berlin (Via London). Gottlieb von
Jagow, tho Imperial Gorman foreign
secretary, received the correspondent
of the Associated Press and outlined
the reasons which Impelled the Ger
man government to send an ad In
terim note to the United States gov
ernment Instead of a final and de
finite reply to the American represen
tations regarding the Lusltanla and
other ships that have been torpedoed,
and Germnny's submarine policy.
"Tho Issues involved," said Ilerr
von Jagow, "are of such importance
nnd the views In regard to the Lusl
tanla show such variance, that tho
German government believed It es
sential to attempt to establish a com
mon basis of fact before entering Into
a discussion of the Issues involved.
"We hope and trust that the Ameri
can government will take the samo
view of tho case and let us know In
what points their understanding on
the facts dlfTers from the German
viewpoint ns set forth In the note,
and in what points thoy agree, beforo
looking for a direct answer to their
communication."
Washington Disappointed.
Washington. Germany's reply to
the American note concerning tho
sinking of tho Lusltanla with a loss
of more than 100 American lives pro
duced a feeling of profound disap
pointment here. Dissatisfaction at tho
j failure of Germany to answer the de
mands of the United States was re
j fleeted In government circles gen
erally.
It Is the opinion of those close to
the president .that a prompt answer
would be sent to Berlin.
This is expected to give the Ameri
can government's understanding of
the facts that the Lusltanla was un
armed and carried no concealed guns,
that it sailed from the United States
n peaceful merchantman and that un
der all rules of International law and
humanity the vessel should have been
viBited and searched and its passen
gers transferred to a place of safety,
whether it carried ammunition or
not.
Not Covered by Law.
American lnw does not prohibit am
munition from being .carried on
passenger ships, it will be asserted,
but only self-exploding material, and
liners in the past have been permit
ted to carry arms and ammunition
by special ruling of the State depart
ment on tho meaning of federal
statutes.
Germany's failure even to discuss
the reparation demanded by tho
American note and evasion of tho re
quest that guarantees be given that
American vessels and lives be not en
dangered in the future are the main
points, however, which tho United
States government, it was generally
believed, would refer to In tho second
note.
Tho expressions of regret nnd of
fers of reparation for unintentional
nttacks on neutral ships are expoct
ed to have little weight In determin
ing the nature of the response of the
United States.
While it is generally thought the
United States will answor Germany's
request for facts with a restatement
of tho circumstances as recited In
the American note of May 13, the
promptness with which tho reply will
he dispatched is counted upon to
serve as an Indication that the Amer
ican government wishes an early an
swer and does not desire to engage
in a protracted diplomatic discus
sion. Peace Efforts Please Berlin.
