The Imperial Government learned with satisfaction from the Note how curnestly the Government of the United States is concerned in seeing that the principles of humanity are realized in the present war. This appeal also finds a ready echo in Germany, and the Imperial Gov- erument is quite willing to purmit its statements and decisions in the present case to be governed by the principles of humanity, just as it has always done,
The Doperial Government welcomed the fact with gratitude when the American Government, in its Note of May 15, salf recalled that Germany had always per mitted herself to be governed by the principles of progress and humanity in dealing with the law of maritime war- the Imperial Government will always be fare.
