Germany's reply to the second American Note has been issued; It notes that the ,United States "desires', that the principles of humanity, should be observed in the present tfar. This appeal finds a complete echo' in Germany which.lias always adhered to the principle that war must be waged by the armed organised force, and the enemy's civil population spared' as much as possible. . • , \''Tho American Government knows how Germany's enemies, from the bo-' ginning, have aimed with unceasing ruthlessness not'only at the destruction 1 of the German armies, but of the life of the German nation, by renouncing all ; the rules of international law and 1 completely paralysing peaceful commerce be- , .tween. Germany and neutral countries. While her enemies openly declared that ■ the war would be waged without mercy till our complete-destruction was effect-.-ed, we. are waging this war.in defence.of our national existence, for the saka of a permanent and guaranteed peace. ■ The. Lusitania Crime. ' . "We have been obliged to adopt submarine warfare. The case of .the Lusi« tania shows with appalling clearness tho extent that our enemies' methods of warfare endanger human life. The advice given to British merchantmen is to arm and ram our submarines, and abolish all the, distinctions between merchant; and war vessels. If the commander of a submarine had allowed the crew'and' passengers of the Lusitania to take to the boats before firing, the submarine would certainly have been'sunk. ' It expected the Lusitania to remain. afloat long enough' to allow the passengers to take-to tho boats, but the presence of'a! .' great quantity of explosives deceived ex-pectations. Moreover, if tlie Lusitania had been spared, thousands of cases of ammunition- would' have reached the enemy, and thus a thousand German mothers! and children would have been deprived of their supporters.",' '• ■ ■ ■ | In order to secure a sufficiency of Transatlantic steamers,, Germany pro- ' posed that a, fair number of neutral steamers should be temporarily registered ' under the American flag to sail in the passenger service. If there he an . insufficiency of neutral steamers, Germany is'willing to allow four enemy passenger steamers to sail under the American flag.
