KAISER'S NOTE CONCILIATORY
Answer to Wilson's Communication
Says Every Consideration Is
Shown Neutrals in Restraint of Sub
marine Warefare Partiality Is
Charged to United States and Sale
of Munitions Is Cited as Evidence.
The German admiralty has Is
sued a new order to commanders
of submarines that no more mer
chant vessels are to be sunk with
out first being visited and
searched and that the people on
board are to be given a chance to
save their Uvea.
Horlln, Ocrtnuuy (by wireless via
Sayvlllc. N Y.), May &. Following la
ttio text uf tho noto of the Ucrinun
.government in reply to the American
noto rcaiMjutluB submarine warfare,
delivered yestorday by Gottlieb von
Jngow, tho foreign secretary, to Am
bassador Gerard:
"Tlio undersigned, on behalf of tho
Imperial Gorman government, has the
honor to present to his excellency, tliu
ambassador of tho United States, Mr.
James W. Gorard, tho following reply
to tho noto of April 20 regarding the
conduct of German submarine war
faro: "Tho Gorman government handed
ovor to tho proper naval authorities
for early Investigation the ovidenco
concerning tho Sussex as communi
cated by tho government of tho United
Statos. Judging by the results that
the investigation has hitherto ylolded,
tho German government is alive to tho
possibility that the ship mentioned in
Ihe noto of April 10 as having been
torpedoed by a German submarlno is
Actually Idontlcal with the Sussex.
Looking Into the Sussex Case.
"Tho German government begs to
reserve further communication on the
Hatter until certain points are ascer
tained which are of decisive Import
ance for establishing the facts In the
case. Should it turn out that the com
mander was wrong In assuming tho
vessel tt bo a man-of-war, the Gorman
government will not fall to draw the
consequenco resulting therefrom.
"In connection with the caso of tho
Sussex tho government of tho Unltod
States mado a sorles of statements tho
gist of 'vhlch la the assertion that tho
incident Is to bo considered but ono In
stance cl a deliberate method of Indis
criminate destruction of vessols of all
aorta, nationalities and destinations by
flerman submarine commanders.
Repudiate Charge by U. S.
"The German government must em
phatically rcpudlato the assertion. Tho
German government, however, thinks
It of littlo avail to enter Into dotails
In the present stage of affairs, moro
particularly ul tho government of tho
'United States omitted to substantiate
tho assertion by rcfcrcnco to concrete
facts.
"Tho Gorman government will only
ptnte that it has Imposed far-reaching
restraints upon tho uoo of tho subma
rine weapon, solely In consideration of
neutral Interests, In spito of tho fact
that these restrictions are necessarily
of advantage to Germany's enemies.
3s'o such consideration has ever been
shown noutrala by Groat Hrltalu and
feor allies.
Orders International Law Obeyed.
"The German submarine forces
liavo had, in fact, orders to conduct
tho submarlno warfnro In accordance
with the general principles of visit
and search and the destruction of mer
chant vessels recognized by Interna
tional law, tho solo exception being
tho conduct of warfare against enemy
trado carried on enemy freight ships
encountered In tho war zono sur
rounding Great Britain. With regard
to theso no assurances havo ever
been given to tho government of tho
United Statos. No such assurances
ore contained In the declaration of
February 8, 1916.
"Tho Gorman government cannot
admit any doubt that tbeso ordors
wero glvon or oro executed In good
faith. Errora actually occurred. They
can In no kind of wnrfaro bo avoided
altogether. Allowances must be ma-Jo
In tho conduct of naval warfare
ngalnst an enemy resorting to all
ldnrts of ruses, whothor permissible or
Illicit.
Danger Can't Be Avoided.
"But apart from tho possibility or
errors, naval warfaro, Just llko war
fare on land, Implies unavoidable dan
gers for neutral porsons and goods en
tering tho fighting zono. Kvcn in
cases whoro tho naval action Is con
fined to ordinary forms of ciulsor
warfare, routral porsons and goods re
peatedly come to grief.
"Tho German govornmont has re
peatedly and explicitly pointed out the
dangore from mines that havo led to,
tho loan of numorous ships.
Proposals Are Not Accepted.
"Tho Gorman government baa mado
Several proposals to tho government
Mi
SIPS
of the United States In order to re
duce to a minimum fur American
travelers and goods the Inherent dan
gers of navnl warfare. Unfortunately
the government of tho United States
decided not to accept tho proposals.
Had It accepted, the government of
the United Stntcs would havo been In
strumental In preventing the greater
pnrt of the accidents that Americans
havo mot with In the meantime. Tho
Oerinnn government still stands by Itc
offer to come to an agreement nlong
thosf lines
Can't Dispense With Submarine.
"As the Germnn government repeat
edly declared, It cannot dispense with
the use of warfare ngnlnst enemy
trade Tho Germnn government, how
ever, has now decided to tnako a fur
ther concession, adapting methods of
submarine war to the Interests of neu
trals. "In reaching this decision tho Ger
man government li actuated by con
siderations which are above tho level
of the disputed question.
"The German government attaches
no less Importance to the sacred prin
ciples of humanity than the govern
ment of tho United States. It again
fully takes Into account thnt'both
governments for many years coop
erated In developing International law
In conformity with these principles,
the ultimate object of which has al
ways been to confine warfare on sea
and land to armed forces of belliger
ents and safeguard as far as possible
noncombatants against tho honors of
war.
Repents Britain Is to Blame.
"Hut although these considerations
ore of great weight, they alone would
not under present circumstances havo
determined the attitude of the German
government. For in answer to tho
appeal by the government of tho Unit
ed States on behalf of tho sacred prin
ciples of humanity and International
law. tho German government must ro
peat once moro, with all emphasis,
that it was not the German but tho
Hritlsh government which Ignored all
accepted rules of International law
and extended this terrible war to tho
lives and proporty of noncombatants,
having no regard whatever for tho In
terests and rights of neutrals and non
combatants who through this method
of warfaro havo been severely Injured.
"In sclf-defenso against the Illegal
conduct of Hritlsh warfaro, while light
ing a bitter strugglo for national ex
istence. Germany had to resort to tho
hard but effective weapon of subma
rine warfaro.
Discrimination Is Charged.
"As matters stand, tho Germnn gov
ernment cannot but rclterato regret
that the sentiments of humanity
which tho government of tho United
States extends with such fervor to
tho unhapy victims of submarlno war
fare aro not extended with the same
warmth of feeling to many millions
of women and children who, accord
ing to tho avowed Intontlon of the
Hritlsh government, shall bo starved,
and who, by their Bufferings, shall
forco tho victorious armies of tho cen
tral powers into ignominious capitu
lation. The Gorman government. In
agreement with the German pooplo,
falls to undorstund this discrimination,
all tho moro as It has repeatedly and
explicitly declared Itself ready to use
tho submarine weapon In strict con
formity with tho rules of international
laws as recognized bofori tho outbreak
of tho war if Great Britain likewise
wan ready to adapt her conduct of war
faro to theso rules.
Britain Did Not Heed America.
"Several attempts mado by the gov
ernment of tho United States to pro
vail upon the Urltisli government to
act accordingly failed bocause of Hat
refusal on tho part of tho Hritlsh gov
ernment. Moreover, Great Hritaln
again und again has violated Interna
tional law, surpassing ull boundB In
outraging noutral rights. Tho latest
mcasuro adopted by Groat Hrltalu de
claring Gorman bunker coal contra
band and establishing conditions un
der which English bunker coal alono
Is supplied to neutrals Is nothing but
an unheard-of attempt by way of
exaction to forco neutral tonnage lnlj
tho service of Hritlsh trade.
Severely Chides United States.
"Tho German peoplo know that tho
government or tho United States has
the power to conllno tho war to armed
forces of the bclllgcrunt countries in
iho Interest of humanity anil malnto
nanco of International law. Tho gov
ernment or tho I'nltcd States would
havo boon certain of attaining this end
bad it boon determined to Insist
against Great Hrltalu on tho Incontro
vertible rights to freedom of tho seas.
Hut as matters stand tho Gorman poo
plo aro undor tho Impression that tho
government of tho Unitod States,
while domaudlng that Germany, strug
gling for oxlstonco, shall restrain tho
use of nn offectlve weapon, and while
making compliance with those de
mands a condition for malntonanco or
relations with Germany, confines It
self to protests against Illegal meth
oils adopted by Germany's enemies.
Moreover, tho German peoplo know
to what considerable extent its ene
mies aro supplied with all kinds or war
material from tho Unltod States.
Belittles Plea of Humanity.
"It will, therefore, bo understood that
tho appeal mado by tho government of
the United States to sentiments of hu
manity nnd principles of International
law cannot undor tho circumstances
meet tho satno hearty rcsponBo from
tho German peoplo which such nn up
peal othorwlso Is certain to find hero.
If tho Gorman government, novortho
less, is resolved to go to tho utmost
limit of concessions It has been guid
ed not alono by tho friendship connect
ing tho two groat nations for over 100
years, but also by the thougnt of the
great doom which threatens tho ontlro
civilized world should the cruel and
sauguluury war he extended and pro
longed." Germany Desirous of Peace.
"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 vi
tal Interests, thus Indicating that it Is
not Germany's fault If peace Is still
withheld from the nctlons of Europe.
"Tho German government feels all
tho more Justllled In declaring that to
sponslblllty could not bo borne bo
fore the forum of mankind and In his
tory If, after 21 months of tho war'B
duration, the submarlno question un
der discussion between tho Germnn
government and tho government of tho
United States wore to take a turn sorl
ously threatening malntonanco of
peace between tho two nations.
Anxious to Prevent Clash.
"Ab far as lies with tho German gov
ernment it wishes to prevent things
from taking such a course. Tho Gor
man government, however, is prepared
to do Its utmost to conllno operations
of tho war fur ho rest of Its dura
lion to tho lighting forces of tho bellig
erents, thereby also Insuring freedom
of tho seas, a prlnclplo upon which tho
German government believes, now as
bofore, that It Is in agreement with
tho government or tho United States.
To Warn Ships and Save Lives.
"The German government, guided by
tills Idea, notllles tho government of
tho United States that German naval
forces havo received tho following or
der: " 'In accordnnco with tho general
principles of visit and Bearch and tho
destruction of merchant vessols roc
ognlzed by International law, such ves
soib, both within and without tho area
declared a naval war zone, shall not
be sunk without warning and without
saving human lives unless tho ship
attempt to escape or offer resistance.'
"Hut ncutrnln cannot oxpoct that
Gornmny, forced to light for oxlstonco,
shall for the s.iko of neutral Interests
restrict tho use of an effective weapon
ir the enemy Is permitted to continue
to apply nt will methods or warfaro
violating rules or international law.
Such a demand would bo Incompatible
with tho character or neutrality, and
tho German government Is convinced
that the government or tho Unltod
States does not think or making a de
mand, knowing that the govornmont of
tho Unltod States ropoatodly de
clares that It Is dctormlnod to
rcstoro tho principle of freedom
of tho seas, from whatever quarter It
has been violated.
Asks for Demand on Britain.
"Accordingly the German govern
ment is contldont that In conBequonce
or the now orders issued to the naval
forces tho government of the United
States will also now consider all Im
pediments romoved which may have
boon In tho way of mutual co-operation
toward restoration of tho free
dom of tho Boas during tho war, as
suggested in tho noto or July 211, 1915,
and It does not doubt that tho govorn
mont or the United States will now de
mand and Insist that tho Hritlsh gov
ernment shall forthwith obsorvo tho
rules of International law universally
recognized before tho war, as laid
down in tho notes presented by tho
government of tho Unltod States to
tho Hritlsh government December 28,
1U14, and November C. 191G.
"Should step3 taken by the govern
ment of the United States not attain
the object it desires, to have the laws
of humanity followed by all belliger
ent nations, the German government
would then be facing a new situation,
In which it must reserve to Itself com
plete liberty of decision.
"Tho undersigned avails himself of
this opportunity to renew to tho Amer
ican ambassador assurances of high
ost consideration."
VON JAGOW.
FINALLY GOT CLOCK RUNNING
Not Probable, However, That Mr.
Sprlggs Will Let Anyone Know
How It Was Accomplished.
"I'vo nothing In particular especial
ly to do tonight, no I think I'll fix that
clock," decided Ossup Spwlggs. "I'll
show the pooplo In this house whether
I put off fixing It because 1 didn't
know how or ruorely becauso I didn't
have time beforol"
And ho lifted tho handsomo eight
day clock off the mantel and, after a
half hour's concentration, romoved
tho ' back. Dusting off the Jewel
mounted dltchy spring with tho ond
or his handkerchief and pouring oil on
tho revolving gadgets and shlmp-wlnd-ors,
ho screwed the back on again,
wound up tho clock and shook It.
Tho clock continued in a state or
Innocuous Inactivity.
"Humph!" Ossup Spwlggs oxclnlmod
to himself, and this tlmo took tho facu
off and squirted eau do cologne into
tho left port nolo Then, aftur breath
ing a prayer on tho hands and rub
bing It In well, ho returned tho clock
Its faco nnd shook It again.
It remained In a condition of non
committal somnolence.
"Heck!" sworo Ossup Spwlggs, nnd
hurled tho blamed thing forcibly Into
the Btono fireplace Instantly It be
gan ticking with senslblo Industrious
ncss. "Leave It to mo!" Badl ho loftily,
and placed the clock back on tho man
tel and lit his plpo with tho air of
somebody who really was Bomobody,
