BERLIN, May 5 (by wireless to Sayville, N. Y.).—Following
is the text of the note of the German government in reply to the
American note respecting submarine warfare delivered to the Ameri-
can ambassador by Foreign Secretary von Jagow:
“The undersigned, on behalf of the imperial German govern-
ment, has the honor to present to his excellengy, the ambassador of
the United States, Mr. James W. Gerard, the following reply to the
note of April 20 regarding the conduct of German submarine war-
"The German government handed over to the proper naval au-
thorities for early investigation the evidence concerning the Sussex
as communicated by the Government of the United States. Judging
by the results that the investigation has hitherto yielded, the Ger-
man government is alive to the possibility that the ship mentioned
in the note of April 20 as having been torpedoed by a German sub-
marine is actually identical with the Sussex.
"The German government begs to reserve further communica-
tion on the matter until certain points are ascertained which are of
decisive importance for establishing the facts of the case. Should it
turn out that the commander was wrong in assuming the vessel to
be a man of war, the German government will not fail to draw
the consequences resulting therefrom. ,
“In connection with the case of the Sussex the Government ot
th United States made a series of statements, the gist of which is
the assertion that the incident is to be considered but one instance
of a deliberate method of indiscriminate destruction of vessels of
all porta, nationalities and destinations by German submarine com

The nature of the reply was regarded
officially as convincing evidence—if
any more were needed -that Germany
was holding the submarine warfare
negotiations as a club over the United
States to force this Government into
some action to compel Great Britain to
relax the food blockade President Wil-
son steadfastly refused to permit the
diplomatic negotiations of the United
States with one belligerent to become
entangled with the relations with an-
l other.
To that the United States replied on
July 21 that the German note was "very
unsatisfactory" because It failed to
meet "the real difference between the
two governments." The United States,
it declared, was "keenly disappointed*
with Germany’s attitude. Submarine
attacks without warning, endangering
Americans and other neutrals. were
characterised as "illegal and inhuman”
and "manifestly indefensible.”
The German retaliation against ths
British blockade, it maintained, must
not Interfere with the rights of neu-
mines, the freedom of the seas and
made a counter proposal that both
countries agree upon a certain number
of neutral passenger steamers for traf-

rope which the German government of-
fered to guarantee against submarine
off belligerent ships. He resigned be-
cause he thought he could not eign
the next note to Germany, which he
feared would lead the United States
into war.
Meanwhile several sensational inci-
dents cropped up in connection with
the negotiations, chief of which was
the sending of a message to the Ber-
lin foreign office by Dr. C. T. Dumba,
the Austrian ambassador, later re-
called at the request of Pres’dent Wil-
son, which was represented as stat-
ing substantially that Mr. Bryan had
intimated to the ambassador that the
vigorous tone of the American note
should not be regarded in Berlin as
too warlike.
Secretary Lansing took office as Mr.
Bryan's successor and his reply to the
German note took issue with every
contention Germany had set up in the
Falaba and Lusitania cases. den-ed
flatly the contention that the Lusi-
tania was armed or was to be treated
as other than a peaceful merchant
ship and reminded Germany that it
was the duty of the United states to
speak with solemn emphasis to ca)
the attention of the imperial German
government to the grave respongibility
which the Government of the United
States concelves that it has incurred
in this tragic occurrence, and to the
indisputable principle upoh which that
responsibility rests."
The note averred that the declara-
tion of a submarine war sone could
not abbreviate the rights of Ameri-
cans on lawful journeys and added:
"The Government of the United
States, therefore, very earnestly and
solemnly renews the representations 01
its note transmitted to the imperial
German government on May 15 and
relies in these representations upon the
principles of humanity, the universally
recognized understandings of interna-
tional law and the ancient friendship
would continue to contend for the free-
dom of the seas "from whatever quar-
ter violated, without compromise and
at any cost." The American note con-
eluded with these words of warning
"Friendship itself prompts It (the
United States Government) to say to
the imperial German government that
repetition by the commanders of Ger-
man naval vessels of arts in contraven-
tion of those rights must be regarded
by the Government of the United States
when they affect American citizena as
deliberately unfriendly."
The American press ft nd other neu-
trals pronounced the American note
not only a demand that the rights of
Americans be respected, but a defense*
of humanity and neutral rights gener-
ally. The negotiations at this point
seemed to have come to such an Im-

FIVE CENTS THE COPY
WASHINGTON, May 5.—At the State Department after th*
Cabinet meet, it was stated that no "hasty" action would be taken
on the German note, and that, in view of its length and th* necessity
of digesting it carefully, it was "improbable" that any decision wi
be reaehed before next week.
President Willson and the Cabinet today went carefully ovee
the German note as transmitted iu news dispatches from Berlin.
A first feeling that it was unsatisfactory was somewhat lessene
by the text of the new orders to submarine commanders, although
it was foreseen that the reference to immunity for “merchant ship*
recognized by international law" might admit of some dispute of in-
terpretation.
So much depends upon words snd their shades of meaning in-
volved in translation from German to English that no decision can
be attempted until the official text is in the President’s hands. Am-
bassador Gerard cabled today that he had started it in the cables last
night. It ought to be in Washington tonight or early tomorrow.
Two views were current in official circles. One was that Ger-
many had declared her intention of abandoning her "present method
of submarine warfare" as demanded by the President, and that th*
American Government might have to see whether the abandonment
will be effected.
The other was that the United States, having already attempted
to have Great Britain give up its interference will: neutral commerce
and having told Germany that it can not dincuns with her it* negotia-
tions with Great' Britain, has no course but to break diplomatic rela-
tions with Germany.
While the general tone of the German note created an unfavor-
able impression, officials took the position that th* language was
immateril if the guarantees were real.
Germany's declaration that she has issued new orders to sub-
marine commanders not to attack without warning "merchant vessels
recognized by international law” was considered the chief point.
The German view of merchant vessels, as defined in its declaration
of February 8, of its purpose to sink armed ships without warning,
and the American view, as defined in the armed ship memorandum
made public recently, differ in several points.
Some officials believed that for this reason the controversy has
now come to the point where Germany’s future action would deter-
mine the course of the United States.
The refusal of the German government openlv to admit the at-
tack on the Sussex, was considered only incidental to the main issu
Until President Wilson himself decides whether the German note
is acceptable, there will be no announcement of the attitude of th*
Government.
The Cabinet was in session two hours and a half the longest
meeting held for several months The private view of officials ap-
parently was that the new orders to submarine commanders ap-
parently met the demands of the United States unless an interpreta-
tion were placed on them to lead to attack on merchant vessels armed
for defensive purposes. The general tenor of the German note, how-
ever, waa considered unsatisfactory.
There was some disposition among the President's advisers to
believe no drastic steps will be taken unless the new orders to sub-
marine commanders are violated or modified.
Congress received the note quietly, with members expressing
s variety of views. Rome Senators thought the reply favorable,
some were doubtful of the conditions apparently attached and some
others thought it haw not advanced the negotiations toward settle-
ment at all. On th* surface there were no indication* of activity in
the group, which ha* opposed the President’s policy of pressing hi*
demand*.

patched May 15, 1915. It character-
ised the attacks on the Falaba. Cush-
ing, Gulflight and Lusitania as a "ae-
ries of events which the United States
has observed with growing concern,
distress and amazement." 1
It pointed (to Germany’s hitherto
expressed "humane and enlightened
attitude" in matters of international
rights and expressed th hope that
submarine commanders engaged in tor-
pedoing peaceful ships without warn-
ing were in such practice* operating
without the sanction of their govern-
ment. The note ’ closed with these
words:
"The imperial German government
will not expect the Government of the
United States to omit any word or act
necessary to the performance of its
sacred duty of maintaining the rights
of the United States and its citizens
and of safeguarding their free exer-
cise and enjoyment."
On May 25, 1915, Germany replied
with a note which covered a wide
range of argument. It alleged that
the Lusitania had masked guns
aboard, that she in effect was a Brit-
ish auxiliary cruisers, and that she
carried munitions of war; that her
owning company, aware of the dam-
ages she risked in the submarine war
sone, was in reallty responsible for
the loss of American lives, and re-
ferred' to the fact that the British ad-
I mfralty'had offered large rewards to
I liner captains who rammed or de-
stroyed submarines. The note met
none of the contentions of the United
States, so far as the Lusitania and
Falaba sinkings were concerned, al-

did acknowledge that Germany was
