GERMANY’S NOTE ON THE SUSSEX. | OLLOWING s0 closely Germany's formal surrender to this na- tion’s demands regarding the general conduct of submarine warfare, the Imperial Governmen supplementary note on the Sussex cannot fail to make a strong impression. On the whole that impression is most satisfactory. It is unfortunate that German diplomacy rarely brings itself to do in the first place what it finds itself forced to do afterward, But this habit is chiefly hurtful to Germany. The supplementary note is a complete admission that the Sussex was torpedoed by a German submarine commander who “formed his judgment too hurriedly” and who failed to act “fully in acc with the strict instructions which ealled upon him to exercise particu lar care.” | The evidence submitted by the United States Government, which the German Government first put aside as insufficient, is now adinit-| ted to be convincing: “The ship torpedoed | is, in fact, identical with the Sussex.” “In view of the circumstances, the German Government | frankly admits that the assurance given to the American ve ernment in accordance with which passenger vessels were not to be attacked without warning has not been adhered to in the Present cate.’ * “As was intimated in the note of the 4th instant, the Ger man Government does not hesitate to draw from this resultant consequences. It therefore expresses to the American Govern ment its sincere regret regarding the deplorable incident and declares {ts readiness to pay an adequate indemnity to the in- y the German submarine jured American citizens. It also disapproves of the conduct of | the commander, who has been appropriately punished The disavowal is full and explicit. By referring directly ‘o pledges already made it adds to their value, By admitting that they have been violated it reiterates them, We see nothing to be hy going behind it or trying to discredit its intent. On the contrary, the country should be ready to accept this latest note as a welcome indication that the Imperial Government at | sees clearly that it must make acts accord with promises.
