It does not un derstand the Imperial German gov- ernment to question those rights. It assumes on the other hand that the Imperial German government accept as of course, the rule that the lives of non-combatants, whether they be neutral citizens or citizens of one of the nations at war, cannot lawfully or rightfully be put in jeopardy by the capture or destruction of an un- armed merchantman, and recognize also as all other nations do, the ob- ligation to take the usual precaution of visit and search to ascertain whether a suspected merchantmen is in fact of belligerent nationality or in fact carrying contraband of war under a neutral flag. Submarine War Offensive “The government of the United States, therefore, desires to call the attention of the Imperial (German government, with the utmost earn- estness, to the fact that the objection to their present method of attack against the trade of their enemies lies in the practical impossibility of employing submarines in the de- struction of commerce without r garding those rules of fairness, rea- | son, justice, and humanity, which | all modern opinion regards as im-| perative. It is practically hn]mfisi.l ble for the officers of a xuhumrinv! to visit a merchantman at sea and | examine her papers and cargo. It is cally impossible for them to make a prize of her; and, if they cannot put a prize erew on bhoard 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 ‘lmperial German government frankly admit. We are informed that instances of which we have spoken time enough for even that poor measure of safety was not given and that in at least two of the cases cited not s0 much as a warn ing was given. Manifestly subma- rines cannot used against mer- antmen as the past few weeks have shown, without an inevitable violation of many sacred principles of justice and humanity . Have Rights on High Seas “American citizens act within their indisputable rights in taking their ships and in traveling wher ever their legitimate business calls be cise those rights in what should be the well justified confidence that their lives will not be endangered by acts done in clear violation of the universally acknowledged inte tional obligations and certainl the confidence that their own gov- ernment will sustain them in the ex- ercise of their rights. “There was recently published in the newspapers of the United States I regret to inform the Imperial Ger- man government, a formal warninz purporting to come from the Imper- ial German Embassy at Washington, addressed to the people of the United States, and stating, in effect, that any citizen of the United States that exercised his right of free travel on the high seas, would do so at his own peril if his journey took him within the zone of waters in which the Tmperial German navy was using submarines against the commerce of Great Britain and France, notwith. standing the respectful but very earnest protest of his government, the government of the United States. I do not refer to this for the purpose of calling to the attention of the Imperial German government at this time the surprising irregularity of a communication from the Tmperial German embassy at Washington ad dressed to the people of the United States through the newspapers, but only for the purpose of pointing out that no warning that an unlawful and inhumane act will be commit- ted can possibly be accepted as an excnse or explanation for that act and an abatement of the responsi- bility for its commission . Had Respect for German Government “So long acquainted has this gov- ernment been with the character of the Imperial German government and with the high principles of equity by which they have in the past been actuated and guided, that the government of the United States cannot believe that the comm insns of the vessels which committed these acts of lawlessness did so e.cepc un- der a misapprehensioa of the crders issued by the Imperial (ferman na-- al authorities. It takes it for grant- ed that, at least within the prac- tical possibilities of every such case, the commanders even of submarines were expected to do nothing that would involve the lives of non-com- batants or the safety of neutral ships, even at the cost of failing of their object of capture or destruc- tion. It confidently expects there- fore that the Imperial German Gov- ernment will disavow the acts of which the Government of the United States complains that they will make reparation so far as repara- tion is posible for injuries which are without measure, and that they will take immediate steps to prevent the recurrence of anything so obviously subversive of the principles of war- fare for which the Imperial German Government have in the past so wisely and so firmly contended.
