BY JOHN EDWIN NEVIN,
| Staff Correspondent of the International News Service.
| WASHINGTON, March B.—That an agreement will speedily
‘be reached which will preserve all the rights of the United States
‘under international law, and at the same time end the so-called sub
marine controversy was broadly hinted in official quarters to-day.
It was stated that Gpeat Britain within the next few days will de
liver to this Government her promise that none of her vessels trav
ersing the Atlantic will be armed. Only such vessels as traverse
the Mediterranean will carry guns, and they will be specifically
pledged to use such armament only in defense. At the same time
Germany placed before the Unitd States a detailed explanation of
the reasons which constrained her to order armed merchantmen
sunk without warning.
This explanation reviewed the offers previously made by Ger
many to ratify the declaration of London and again charged specifi
cally that the ‘‘illegal’’ British blockade, by which ‘“‘an effort is
being made to starve Germany out,’’ was entirely responsible for
the use of the submarine against British vessels. While making no
promise, it was accepted in official circles that Germany would
willingly refrain from using submarines against anything but war.
ships if England would modify her blockade to follow the lines of
the declaration of London.
- It is understood that the Brit-.
ish offer not to arm any vessels
i the Atlantie trade would have
been presented before now but
was withheld until after the
President had won his fight for
noninterference by Congress.
Officials look for its receipt speed
ily, and it was believed that it would
be made the basis for a renewal on
the part of the United States of its
efforts to secure a modus vivendi be
tween the warring nations for the
“freedom of the sea” that would have
an excellent chance of success. Until
it actually is received, however, offi
clals say they could not discuss !¢,
Count von Bernstorff, the German
Ambassador, presented the memoran
dum explaining Germany’s orders to
submarine commanders to sink
armed merchantmen without warn
ing. This explanation, according to
‘the Ambassador, was intended to
iclear up what has been conllderedf
as doubtful points by the United
States, and especially to show that
the new plans of the German Gov
ernment in no way abridge or con
flict with the assurances given to the
United States Government. |
. The Ambassador was with Secre
tary Lansing for less than five min
utes. On leaving, he said that he be
lieved the communication would make
plain just exactly what Germany
planned to do. He said that at his
request Secretary Lansing had grant
‘ed him permission to make the docu
‘ment public. It was subsequently
}(lven out.
‘ Amplifies Old Order. |
~ "“This communication,” the Ambas
sador explained, “is intended to set
forth the German position in the
armed merchantman controversy, It
is In no sense a new orller or ordar-.‘
but is simply an amplification of the
orders that went into effect the nml
of this month.” ‘
~ Foliowing Is the text of the memo
randum handed Secretary Lansing by
Count von Bernstorff:
“The Imperial German Government,
on account of the friendly reiations
which have always existed between
the two great nations, and earnestly
desiring to continue them, wishes to
explain the U-boat question once
more to the American Government.
“At the outbreak of the war, the
‘German Government, acting on the
‘suggestion of the United States, im
‘mediately expressed its readiness (o
ratify the declaration of London. At
that time & German prize code had
already been lssued, which was en
tirely--and without modification—
based on the rules of the declaration
of London, Germany thereoy proved
her willlugness to recognize fully the
rxisting roles of international lew,
s hich ‘nsure the frasdom of the sen
HOME
for the legitimate trade of neutral na
tions, not only among themselves but
also with belligerent countries.
“Great Britain, on the other hand,
declined to ratify the declaration of
London, and after the outbreak of the
war began to restrict the legitimate
trade of the neutrals in order to hit
Germany. The contraband provisions
Were systematically extended on
August 5, 20, September 21 and Oc
tober 29, 1914. On November 3, 1914,
the Order of the British Admiralty
followed, declaring the whole North
Sea a war zone in which comm!nfi
shipping would be exposed to most
serious danger from mines and men
of war. Protests from neutrals werq
of no avail and from that time on
the freedom of neutral commerce with
Germany was practically destroyed,
Forced to Use Reprisals. :
“Under these circumstances, Ger
many was compelled to resort, in Feb
ruary, 1915, to reprisals in order te
fight her opponents’ measures, which
were absolutely contrary teo lntotnm;
tional law. She chose for this pur-
Pose a new weapon the use of which
had not yet been regulated by inter
natdonal law, and in doing- so could
and did not violate any existing
rules, but only took into account the
peculiarity of this new weapon, the
submarine boat,
“The use of the submarine naturally
necessitated a restriction of the free
movements of neutrals and consti
tuted a danger for them which Ger
many intends to ward off by a spe
clal warning analogous to the warn
ing England had given regarding the
North Sea,
“Both belligerents—Germany, iw
her note of February 17, and Great
Britain in those of February 1§ and
20, 1915—claimed that their proceed
ing was only enacted in retaliation
for the violation of international law
by their opponents. The American
Government approached both parties
for the purpose of trying to re
establish international law as it had
been in force before the war. Ger
many was asked to adapt the use
of her new weapon to the rules
which had been existing for the for
mer naval weapons and England not
"to interfere with the food supply in
tended for the non-combatant Ger
‘man population and to admit their
distribution under American super
vision. :
“Germany, on March 1, 1915, de
clared her willingness to comply with
the proposal of the American Gov
ernment, whilst England, on the ¢ rer
hand, declined to do so. By the ors
der in council of March 11, 1915, Great
Britain abolished even what had re
mained of the freedom of neutral
trade with Germany and her ney
neighbors. England's object was o
