No Guns on Lusitania. “Your excellency’s note, in discuss- ing the lo&s of American lives result- | ing from the sinking of tne steamship TLusitania adverts at some length to certain information which the Im- perial government has received with | regard to the character and outfit of that vessel, and your excellency éx- presses the fear that this information may not have béen brought to the at- tention of the United States. It is| stated that the Lusitania was un- | doubtedly equipped with masked guns, supplied with trainéd gunners and zpecial ammunition, transporting troops from Canada, carrying @ cargo not permitted under the laws of the United States to a vessel also carry- ing passéngers and serving, in virtual efféct, as an auxiliary to the 'naval force of Great Britain. Fortunately, these are matters con- -cerning which the government of the United States is in a position to give ithe Imperial Germean gdévernment in- formation. Of the facts alleged in your excellency’s note, if true, the government of the United States would have been bound to take official cognizance in performing its recog- - HOW TO KEEP STRONG ~ AND VIGOROUS IN SUMMER Old Time OConfidence and Ambition Returns in 6 Days.

It was its duty to see to it that tne Lusitania was not armed for offensive action; ' ihat she was not serving as a trans- port, that she did not carry a cargo vrohibited by the statutes of the TUnited States, and that, if in fact she was a naval vessel of Great Britain, she should not receive clearance as a merchantman; and it performed that duty and enforced its statutes with scrupulous vigilance through its regu- larly constituted officials. It is able, therefore, to assure the Impérial Ger- man government that it has béen mis- intormed. If the Imperial German government should deem itself to be in possession of convincing evidence that the officials of the government of the United States did not perform these duties with thorvughness, the government of the Unitea States sin- cerely hopes that it will submit that evidence for consideration. “Whatever may be the contentions af the Imperfal Gérman government regarding the carriage of contraband of war on board the Lusitania or re- garding the explosion of that material by the torpedo, it need only be said that in the view of this government these contentions are irrelevant to the question of the legality of the meth- ods used by the German naval author- itiés in sinking the wvessel. A Question of Humanity. But the sinking of passenger ships involves principles of humanity which throw into the background any special circumstances of detail that may be thought to affect the cases, principles | which lift. it, as the Imperial Ger. man government will no doubt be quick te recognize and acknowledge out of the class of ordinary subjects of diplomatic discussion or of inter- national controversy. be the ather facts regarding the Lusi- tania, the principal fact is that a great steamer, primarily and chiefly a conveyance for passengers and cartying more than a thousand souls who had -no part or lot in the con- duct of the war, was torpedaed and sunk without so much as a challenge or & warning and that men. women ! and children were sent to their.death | in circumstances unparalled in. mod- ern warfare. The fact that more than 100 American citizens were among those who perished made it the ¢ duty of the government of the United States to speak of these things and ‘Whatever may | once more, with solemn emphasis, to call the attention of the Imperial Ger_ man government to the grave respon- sibility which the gavernment of the United States conceives that it. has incurred in this tragic occurrence and to the .indusputable principle upon which that responsibility rests. The government of the United States is con- tending for something' much greater than mere rights of property or priv- ileges of commerce, It is contend- ing for nothing less high and sacred than the rights of humanity, which every government honors itself in re- specting and which 1n6 government is Jjustified in resigning on behalf of those under its care and authority. Only her actual resistance to capture or refusal to stop when ordered to have afforded the commander of the |submarine any justification for so much as putting the lives of those on board the ship in jebpardy. This principle the government of the United States understands, the explicit in- structions issued on August third, 1914, by the Imperial German admir- alty to its commanders at sea, to have recognized and embodied as do the naval codes of all other nations and | upon it every traveler and seaman had a right to depend. It is upon | this principle of humanity as well as upon the law founded upon this prin- ciple that the United States must stand. “The government of the United States is happy to observe that Your Eixcellency’s note closes with the in- timation that the Imperial ‘Gérman government is willing. now as before, | to accept the good cffices of thel United States in an attempt to come to an understanding with the govern- ment of Great Britain by which the character and conditions of war upon | | the. sea may be changed.

For Justice and Humanity. “In the mcantime, whatever rangement may happily be made be- tween the parties to the war, and whatever may in the opinion of the Tmperial German government have been the provocation for the circym- stantial justification for the past acts of its commanders at ses, the gov- ernment of the United States confi- dently looks to see the justice and the ! ar- | humanity of the German government | in all cases where Americans have been wronged or their rights as neu- trals invaded. “The government of the United States, therefore; very earnestly and | very solemnly renews the \representa- tions of its note transmitted to the Imperial German government on the 15th of May, and relfes :n these rep- 1csentations upon the principles of | humanity, the universally recognized understandings of international law znd the ancient friedship of the Ger- man nation. i “The government of the United States cannot admit that the procla- mation of a war zone from which reutral ships have been warned to! keep away may be made to operate | as in any degree an abbreviation of | the rights either of American ship- masters or of American citizens bound on a lawful errand as pussengers on merchant ships of belligerent nation- ality. It does not uncerstand the tion those rights. It understands it, also to.accept as established beyond guestion the principle that the lives of non-combatants cannot lawfully or rightfully be put in jeopardy by the capture or destruction or an unresist- tral flag.
