of the United States waa loath to

"It does not understand the Im

contrary, that the Imperial govern

the rule that the lives of noncom

citizenship or cltlsens of any of the
nations at war, cannot lawfully or
rightfully be put in Jeopardy by the

"The government of the t'nlted Statea,

"Th government and people of th
