THE AMERICAN NOTE. GERMANY MUST RESPECT INTERNATIONAL LAW.
WASHINGTON, June 11th.
2.10 p.m. The American Nots is most firm in its The United States Government very solemnly and very earnestly renews the representations made in the former Note, and states that the United States cannot admit that the proclamation of a war zone may operate in any degree as au, abbreviation of American rights and omphasises the contention that the Lusitania was primarily for the convey ance of passengers, who had no part in the war. Women and children were sent to their deaths in circumstances unparal- leled in modern war.
More than one hundred American cititens perished.
The Note draws attention to Germany's grave responsibility and the indispensable principle on which responsibility rests. It emphasises the fact that the United States are contending for nothing less high than the sacred rights of humanity, which no Government is justified in ignoring-
Only actual resistance on the part of the commander of the Lusitania could have justified the commander of the sub- marine in eron placing the passengers in jeopardy.
The United States insists on this prin- ciple of international law, and expecta Germany to adopt measures to put these principles into practice and to respect and safeguard American lives and ships. The Note asks for an assurance that this will be done.
