TO 3 AMBASSADOR GERARD: DEPARTMENT. OF STATE, " <Washington, July 21, 1915. You are instructed to deliver text- ually the following note to the min- ister for foreign affairs. The note of the imperial German government dated .the 8th of July, 1915, has received ‘the careful con- sideration of the government of the United States, and it regrets to be obliged to say that it-has found it’ very unsatisfactory because it fails to meet the real differences between the two governments and indicates no way in which the accepted principles of law and humanity may be applied in the grave matter in ‘controversy, but proposes on the contrary, arrange- ments for a partial suspensian of those principles which virtually set ' them aside. Act Beyond Law, The government of the United Statés notes with : satisfaction - that the imperial German . government Tecognizes without' reservation the validity of the principles insisted on in the several communications which this government had addressed to the imperial German government with re- gard to its annoyncement of a war zone and the us of submarinss against merchantmen on the high seas —the principle that the high seas are free, that the character and cargo of a merchantman must first be ascer- tained before she can lawfully' be seized or destroyed, and that the lives of nan-combatants may in no case be put in jeopardy unless the vessel resists or seeks to escape after being summoned to submit to examination; for a belligerent act ' of retaliation is per se an act beyond the law, and the defense of an act as retallatory is an admission that it is illegal. ‘Washington Disappointed. The gqvernment = of |the United States is, however, keénly disap- pointed to find . that the imperial German government regards itself as in large degree exempt from the obligation to observe these principles, even when neutral vessels are con- cerned, by what it believes the policy and practice of the government = of Great Britain to be in the present war with regard to neutral commerce. The imperial German government will readily understand that the govern- ment of the United States cannot dis- cuss the policy of tha government of Great B\r]min with regard to neutral trade except with that government itself and that it must regard the con- duct of other. belligerent governments as irrelevant to any discussion with the imperial German government of what this government regards as grave and unjustifiable violations of the rights of American citizens by German naval commanders. - Tllegal and inhuman acts, however justifi- able they may be thought to be against an enemy who is'beileved to have act- ed in contravention. of law and . hus manity, .are manifestly indefensible {When they deprive meutrals of their acknowledged ' rights, particularly when they violate the right to life it- self. TIf a belligerent cannot retaliate against anw enemy without injuring the lives of"neutrals, as well as their property, humanity as well as justice and a due regard for the dignity of { neutral nation affected. The govern- the practice be discontinued. If per- sisted in, it ‘would, in such circum- stances comstitute an unpardonable offense against the sovereignity of the neutral nation affected. The govern- ment of the United States is not un- mindful of the extraordinary condi- tions created by this war, or of the radical alterations . of circumstances and method of attack produced by the use of instrumentalities of naval war- fare which the nations of the world ' cannot have had in view when existing rule of international law were formulated, and it is ready to make every reasonable allowance for these novel and unexpected aspects of war at sea; but it cannot consent to abate any essential or fundamental right of its people because of a mere altera- tion of eircumstances. The rights of neutrals in time of war are based upon priciple, not upon expediency, and the principles are immutable. - It is the duty and obligation of belligerents to find a way to adapt the new circum- stances to them. ? Remove Cause of Offense. The events of the past two months have clearly indicated that it is pos- sible and practicable to conduct such submarine .operations as have char- acterized the activity of the imperial German navy within the so-called war zone in substantial accord with the accepted practices of warfare. The whole world has looked | with interest and increasing satisfac- tion at the demonstration of that pos- sibility by German naval command- ers. It is manifestly possible, there- fore, to lift the whole practice of sub- marine attack above the criticism it has aroused and remove. the chief cause of offense. In view ot the admission of ernment when it pleaded the right of retaliation in defense of its acts, and in view of the manifest possi- I'bility of conforming to ‘the estab- lished Tules of naval warfare, the government of the United States cuunot behieva that the imperial gov- ernment will longer. reframn from dis- avowing the wanton act of its naval commander in sinking the Lusitania, or from offering reparation for the American lives lost, so far as repara- tion can be made for a ncedless des- truction of human life by an illegal aet, The gcvernment of the United States, while not indifferent to the friendly spirit in which it is made, cannot accept the suggestion of the imperial C{6rman governmeént that certain vessels be designated und agreed upon which shali be free on the seas now illegally proscribed. The very agreement woald, by implica- tion, subject other vessels to illegal attack and would be a curtailment and therefore an abandonment of the principles for which this government contends and which in times of calm- er counsels every nation would con- cede as of course. Same Great Object. The government of the United Stites and the imperial German gov- crnment are contending for the same great object, have long stood togeth- er in urging the very principles, up- op Wwhich the -government of the U'nited States now sc solemnly in- sists. They are both contending for frecdom of ‘the seas. The government of the United States will continue o contend for that freedom, from the | regulated | {Judge Orders State to Show Why Lnew ! | i I | numerous Reports from- the front are to the ‘effect that the Canadians are in the thick of the fight whatever quarter - violated, = without compromise and at any, cost. ; It in- vites the practical co-operatipn of the imperial German government at this time when co-operation may accom- plish most and this .great’ common cbject be most strikingly and effect- ively achieved. The imperial German government expresses the hope that this objget may be in some measure; accom- plished even before the present war ends. It can be., The goyernment of the Unitd States not ohly feels ¢bliged to insist upor 1, by whom- soever violated or ignored, | in the protection of its own citizéns, but is also deeply interested ih, seeing it made practicable betwegen the belligerents themselves, and holds itself ready at any time to agt as the cemmon friend who may ve privileged to suggest a way. Deliberately Unfriendiy. In the meantime, the very value which this government sets upon the fong unbroken friendship between the people and government of the United States and the people and government of the German nation impels it to press very solemnly up- on the imperial German government the necessity for a scrupulous ob- servance of neutral rights in the crit- jcal matter. Friendship itself prompts it to say to the imperial German gov- ernment that repetition by the com- manders of German naval vesselg of acts in contravention of those rights must be rekarded by the goyernment of the United States when they affeet American citizens, as delibergtely un- friendly. LANSING. BECKER WINS POINT IN FIGHT FOR LIFE He Should Not Have New Trial. New York, July 24.—Confronted by affidavits averring that Charles Becker was “‘framegd up,” . Jistice Philbin, in the su illegality made by the imperial gov- | e s Saphae Qoytt yesterday ordera? District . Attorney Perkins to appear before Justice Ford in the supreme court on !Monday morning, to show cause why a new trial should not be granted to Becker. This proceeding virtually demands a decision from Justice Ford by Tues- day night, for Becker is 'due to di¢ in the electric chair béfore § o'cloelt on the morning following. Should Justice Ford hold. that thé time is insufficient only a ‘reprieve from Governor Whitman can save the condemned man. If Justicé Ford re- fuses to order to new trial Becker's fight for life will be over. It a new trial is granted that decision ‘will op- erate as a stay, without recpurse to the governor. Recommend Short Reprigve. Of course, in the event that Jus. tice Ford found he could not give dye consideration to the aplication for a new trial within the short time left to him, he could recommend to Gover- nor Whitman that a short reprieve be granted, but it is believed that even such a request from that source would not move the state executive. W.. Bourke Cockran and John B. Johnston, Becker's attorneys, won the order from Justice Philbin on the ground that the affidavits contained evidence. The sworn statements ~—one of them from Becker--declare that Pecker told none of his counsael of the “Big Tim" Sullivan featuge, which, they contend, would have et- | fected Becker's acquittal.

In the sworn statements are afida- vits from John F. McIntyre, who de- fended*Becker at the first trial, ana Martin T. Manton, Becker's counsel at the second trial, that they did not know of the late Senator Sullivan’s| part in the case. The Rev. Father James B. Curry, Tombs chaplain ana pastor of St. James’ church, on Ol- ver street, is the first man, Mr. Cock. ran says, who lifted the veil of secre. cy from the Sullivan circumstance. Pricst Alds Condemned Man. Father Curry makes affidavit to this, He swears that he first met Beoker:in the Tombs while the latter was awalting trial for the first time. On June 2, 1913, he made his first visit to Becker in the Sing Sing deat- On the second and third visit Becker told him of his visit,to Sulli- van's theater office in the night of Sunday, July 14, a few more than twenty-four hours before the murder. “Sullivan brought him upstairs to an office in the back,” Father Curry says, quoting from Becker's story to him. “There Sullivan spoke about Rosenthal's coming, appearance be- fore the grand jury, and wished to know if ihere was not some way by which Rosenthal could be prevented from testifying. Becker thereupon said, ‘Neither you nor I have anything to fear from any disclosures what- ever that Rosenthal will make. T know all that he going to say. I know mén whose names he will men- tion. Neither you nor I have any- thing to fear from him.’ Sullivan sald, {1t must be prevented; I couldn’t stand for it.’ ‘No’, said Bec- ker, “this fellow has got to get this thing -off. .- You need have no fear at all. I;haven't any.’ After reassuring Sullivan that thére was not any need of !9..1'. Becker returned home.” ,inteaded to Take Stand. Becker, Father 'Curry says, in- tende prior to the secord trial, to take the witness stand. The 'priest urged Becker to tell of the Sullivan matteér, and was given to:understand that Becker would do so. . In view ot that, Father. Curry withheld what he knew from all save three pérsons, *‘to whom I Imparted the facts'in strict- est confidence.” N the Court of Appeals refused Becker ‘u third trial, Father Curry says, he 1old the story to Mr. Cockran. but, on the latter’s failure to make it public, he decided, inasmuch as Bec- ker didl not discuss the matter in su- cramental confidence; to tell the pub- lic: through the newspapers. Another affidavit pertaining to Sul- livan is made by Benjamin H. Kauff- man, who was Rosenthal's partner in gambling enterprises, and whose assoelation with the gambler covered a period of twenty years. About 2 o'clock on the morning of Monday, July 15, twenty-four hours before he was killed, Rosenthal had a telephone talk with an unidentified person, Kaufman swears. Webber two or three days preyviously had told Kaufman that he would get $5,000 for Rosenthal if latter would not squeal. When Rosenthal return- ed from the telephone on the morn- ing of July 15 he sald to Kaufman: “Just as 1 thought everything was all right, something turns up (o make it look not so good again. They don’'t want to give us as much as I understood they were willing to. Yon make sure and see Muttle (Kauf- man does not further identify him) tomorrow and get that money from him; ‘and whether you -get it or not, be sure und be here at 7 o'clock to- night.” Promised Rosenthal . Muttle had promised Rosenthal $160, to be paid on the morning of July 16. Rosenthal was dead before the: time for the money to change hands arrived. < ufman met Rosenthal at 7:30 o'clock Monday night, and told him of Muttle's promise. “I hal him on the ‘Dhone this morning and he is all right,” Kauf- man- qyoutes Rosenthal, referring to Muttle. “But the hell with that. I have bigger ideas than that tonight. | have ' ap important engagement to- :“)‘:!E at the Metropole to get $15,- “I asked him,” Kaufman swears, ‘Who the hell is going to give you $15,0002' and he said, ‘What the hell is $15,000 to that gang? You donm'n think they are going to be all closed Bridgie, up.. It won't amount to a nickel apfece to them. They would give a hell of a lot.more than that before they would go out of business.
