GERMAN NOTE TO
11. HEW VAGUE
(ContiuUtu from Page 1.)
United States in order to reduce to a
minimum the dangers to which Ameri
cans and neutral travelers are exposed
as an incident of submarine warfare.
Unfortunately, the government of the
United States decided to accept none
if these proposals. Had it accepted,
he government United States
I would have been instrumental in pre
! venting the greater part of the acci
dents that citizens of the United States
have met with in the meantime.
Further on, the note says, 'As mat
ters stand, the German government can
but recite its regret that the senti
ments of humanity which the govern
ment of the United States extends with
such fervor to the unhappy victims of
submarine warfare, are not extended
with the same warmth of feeling to
many millions of womeni and children,
who, according to the avowed intention
of the British government, shall be
starved, and who by their suffering,
shall force the victorious armies of the
Central Powers into an ignominious
I capitulation. It will, therefore, be un-
I derstood that the appeal made by the
government of the United States to the
sentiments of humanity and the princi
ples of international law, cannot under
I such circumstances meet the same
hearty response from the German peo
ple which under other conditions such
an appeal is always certain to find
I I ere.” .
Further on, the note states: “The
German government, conscious of Ger
many's strength, within the last few
months announced before the world its
readiness to make peace on a basis
safeguarding Germany's vital interests,
thus indicating that it is not the Ger
mans’ fault if peace is still withheld
from the nations of Europe. The Ger
man government feels all the more jus
’ tided in declaring that responsibility
could, not be placed upon the nation,
either before the forum or in the mak
ing of history, if after twenty-one
months of war’s duration the subma
rine question between the German
government and the government of the
United States should take a serious
turn threatening the maintenance of
peace between the two nations.
"As far as lies with Germany, the
government wishes to prevent things
taking such a course,” is a significant
sentence contained within the note.
The communication, further down,
adds:
“But neutrals cannot expect that
Germany, forced to fight for its very
existence, shall, for the sake of the in
terests of neutrals, restrict the use of
an effective weapon, if the enemy be
permitted to continue to apply at will
present methods of warfare.”
Relating to rules of international
warfare, instructions have been given
to German submarine commanders to
the effect that they are not to sink mer
chant ships without giving passengers
and crew opportunity to escape, un
less such vessels resist or try to es
cape. These instructions are given
verbatim in the note and the German
government professes by this order tc
be. complying with the demands of the
United States.
The note then asserts that under
these circumstances the United States
will demand of England and her al
lies that they conform to International
law, and concludes: “Should steps
taken by the United States not attain
the object is desires, viz., to have the
laws of humanity followed by all of the
belligerent nations, then the govern
ment of Germany would be facing a
new situation, in which it must reserve
to itself complete liberty of decision.”
FOREIGN TRAOE TH
BE EXTENDED NOW
WASHINGTON, I). C., May 5. —The
most extensive investigaHons into
foreign-market conditions ever under
taken at one time by the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce, De
partment of Commerce, will be under
way soon after the beginning of the
THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.

new fiscal year in July. These inves
tigations will be aimed at the newer
and more undeveloped markets lying
well outside of the fighting zone, es
pecially those in South America, China,
India, Africa and Australia. Twelve
different lines are to be investigated
and fifteen distinct examinations to
find suitable agents for the work have
been announced for some time in
May.
For South America, agents are l>eing |
sought to study and report cn markets'
for construction material and machin
ery, fancy groceries, furniture, glass
and glassware, jewelry and silverware,
motor vehicles, paper and printing
supplies, railway supplies, and station
ery and office supplies. In the Far
East, Africa, and Australia a study
will be made of the markets for boots
and shoes, electrical goods, motor
vehicles, and railway supplies. One
agent is also sought to look into pos- i
sibilities for American commercial and i
industrial investments in South Amer
ica and another to make a similar
study in the Far East.
The difficulty the Bureau has ex-'
< perienced in getting suitable men for,
■ its foregoing investigations illustrates
' the lack of trained men for foreign
■ commercial work has so often been
i called to the attention of Americans
! in the last year. There are plenty of
i men capable of sizing up market con
i ditions in any part of their own coun
try, but there is a different story to
s tell when a man is wanted to study the
i prospects of selling goods in a for
: eign country. For South America, for
example, the Bureau of Foreign and j
, Domestic Commerce wants men who
I
can speak Spanish, who understand!
t their particular line well enough to!
’ learn the essential facts so necessary!
• to American exporters and who, when
J in possession of these facts, ccan write
; them up in clear-cut, logical, con-
I vincing fashion. Such men are scarce.
For investigations in the Far East, a
I foreign language is not essential, al
i though extra credit will be given in
> the examination for knowledge of
- French, German, or Spanish.
