PRESIDENT WILSON'S NOTE TO
GERMANY
-Department of State, Washington,
May 13, 1915. The Secretary of State
to the American Ambassador at Berlin-
Please call on the minister of
foreign affairs and after reading to
him this communication, leave with
him a copy.
"In view of the recent acts of the
norman authorities in violation of
J V- 1
American rights on the high seas,
which culminated in the torpedoing
and sinking .of tne Briusn sieamamp
Mav 7. 1915. by which
over one hundred American citizens
lost their lives, iHs clearly wise and
desirable that the government of the
United States and the imperial Ger
man government should come 10 a
clear and full understanding as to the
grave situation which has resulted.
"The sinking of the British pasien
ger steamer Falaba by a German sub
marine on March 23, through which
Leon C. Thresher, an American citi
ben. was drowned; the attack on April
28 on the American vessel Cushing by
a German aeroplane; the torpedoing
on May 1 of the American vessel Gulf
light by a German submarine, as a
result of which two or more Amer
ican citizens met their death, and fin
ally the torpedoing and sinking of the
steamship Lusitania constitute a
series of events which the govern
ment of the United States has ob
served with growing concern, distress
and amazement.
"Recalling the humane and enlight
ened attitude hitherto assumed by the
i .H,i r.ormau government in mat
ters of international right, and par
ticularly with regard to tne ireeuu...
of the seas; having learned to recog-nlze-the
German views and the Ger
man influence in the field of interna
tional obligation as always engaged
upon the side of Justice and humanity
and having understood the instruc
tions of the imperial German govern
ment to its naval commanders to be

prescribed by the naval codes of other
nations, the government of the United
States was loath to belleve-it cannot
now bring itself to believe-that these
acts, so absolutely contrary to the
rules the practices and the spirit ol
modern warfare, could have the coun
tenance or sanction of that great gov-
ernment
Expected to Change Policy

most frankness, and in the earnest
hope that it is not mistaken in ex
Decting action on the part of the im
perial German government which will
correct the unfortunate impressions
which have been created and vindi
cate once more the position of that
government with regard to the sacred
freedom of the seas.
"The government of the United
States has been apprised that the im
perial German government consider
themselves to be obliged by the ex
traordinary circumstances of the pres
ent war and the measures adopted by
their adversaries, in seeking to cut
Germany off from all commerce, to
adopt methods of retaliation which go
much beyond the ordinary methods of
warefare at sea, in the proclamation
of a war zone from which they have
warned neutral ships to keep away.
This government has already taken
occasion to inform the imperial Ger
man government that it cannot admit
the adoption of such measures or such
a warning of danger to operate as in
any degree an abbreviation of the
rights of American shipmasters or of
American citizens bound on lawful er
rands as passengers on merchant
ships of belligerent nationality, and
that it must hold the imperial German
government to a strict accountability
tor any infringement of those rights,
intentional or Incidental.
"It does not understand the imperial
German government to question those
rights. It assumes, on the contrary,
that the imperial government accept,
as of course the rule that the lives of
non-combatants, whether they be of
neutral citizenship or of any of the
nations at war, cannot lawfully or
rightfully be put in jeopardy by the
capture or destruction of an unarmed
merchantman, and recognizes, also as
all other nations do, the obligation to
take the usual precaution of visit and
search to ascertain whether a sus
pected merchantman is in fact of bel
ligerent nationality or is in fact carry
ing contraband of war under a neutral
flag.
Warfare on Merchantment Condemned
' "The government of the United
States, therefore, dsires to call the
attention of the imperial German gov
ernment with the. utmost earnestness
to the fact that objection to their pres
ent method of attack against the trade
of their enemies lies in the practical
impossibility of employing submarines
in the destruction of commerce with
out disregarding those rules of fair
ness, reason. ju3tice and humanity,
which all modern" opinion regards as
imperative. It is impossible for the
officers of a submarine to visit a mer-
hcantman at sea and examine her pa
pers and cargo. It is practically im
possible for them to make a prize of
her and, if they cannot put a prize
crew on board of her, they cannot
sink her without leaving her crew and
all on board of her to the mercy of
the sea in her small boats. These
facts, it is understood, the imperial
government frankly admits. We are
informed that in the instances of
which we have spoken time enough
for even, that poor measure of safety
was not given, and in at least two of
the cases cited not so much as a warn
ing was received.
"Manifestly, submarines cannot be
used now against merchantment, as
the last few weeks have shown, with
out an inevitable violation of many
sacred principles of justice and hu
manity.
"American citizens act within their
indisputable rights in taking their
ships and 'In traveling wherever their
legitimate business calls them upon
the high seas, and exercise those
rights in what should be the well Jus
tified confidence thai their lives will
not be endangered by acts done in
clear violation of universally acknowl
edged obligations and certainly In the
confidence that their own government
will sustain them in the exercise of
their rights.
That Formal Warning -"There
was recently published in
the newspapers of the United States,
I regret to inform the imperial gov
ernment, a formal warning purporting
to come from the Imperial German
embassy at Washington,' addpessed to
the people of the United States and
statisg in effect that any citizens ot
the United States who exercised his
right of free travel on the seas would
do so at his peril if his Journey should
