The Government of the United States notes with satisfaction that the imperial German Government recog- izes without reservation (he validity et the principles insisted on in the several communications which this Government has addressed to the Im- perial German Government with re- gard to its announcement of a war zone and the use of submarines against merchantmen on the hizh seas—the principle that the high seas are free, that the character and cargo of a merchantman must frat be sscer- tained before she can lawfully be seized or destroyed, and that the lives of non-combatants may in no case be put in jeopardy unless the vessel re- sists or seeks to escape after being summoned to submit to examinatior; tor a belligerent act of retaliation is per ee an act beyond the Ii and the RETALIATION NO EXCUSE FOR WARMING NEUTRALS. The Government of the United States is, however, keenly disap- pointed to find that the Imperial Ger- man Government regards itself as in large degree exempt from the obliga- tion to observe these principles, even where neutral vessels are concerned, 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 Gov. ernment of the United States cannot discuss the policy of the Government JECT TO BELLIGERENT®’ Ni The rights of neutrals in time of war are based upon principle, not upon expediency, and the iti are immutable.

The whole world has looked with interest and increasing satisfac- tion at the demonstration of that possibility by German naval com- manders. It is manifestly possible, therefore, to lift the whole practice of submarine attack above the criti- clsm which it has aroused and re- move the chief causes of offense, In view of the admission of Ulegal- ity made by the Imperial Government of the maiifest pvssibility of oom. forming to the established rulea of naval warfare, the Government of the United States cannot believe that the Imperial Government will longer refrain from disavowing the wanten act of ite naval commander in sink- ing the Lusitania or from offering reparation for the American lives lost, so far as reparation can be made @ needless destruction of human by an illegal act.

The big un- derlying cause of much matri- monial unhappiness is the extreme youth of husband and wife. In the great majority of cases a girl of eighteen and a boy of twenty- one are altogether too young to assume marital responsibilities.
