Wilson Calls

(Continued From Page One.) cannot be carried on without the moat evident violation of the fights of - humanity. ' Whatever the disposition and intention of the imperial German government. It has manifestly proved impossible for it to keep such methods of attack upon the commerce of its enemies within bounds except by-' .- either the reason or the heart of mankind. SETS ASIDE COMMON CONCEPTIONS TO MEET EXTRAORDINARY CASES "In February of the present year the . Imperial government Informed ' this government and the other neutral governments of the world that it ' had reason to believe that the government of Great Britain had armed all merchant vessels of British ownership, and had given them secret orders to attack any submarines of the enemy they might ' encounter upon the , sea, and that the German government felt justified in the circumstances in treating all armed merchantmen of foreign ownership as auxiliary vessels of war which it would have the right to destroy without warning. ' The law of nations has long recognized the rights of merchantmen to ' carry arms for protection and to use them to repel attacks though to use -. them in such circumstances at their own risk, but the German govern- - ment claims the right to set these understandings aside in circumstances which it deems extraordinary. GERMANY PERMITS WASP COMMANDERS' TO DISREGARD ITS SOLEMN PLEDGES j "Again and again, the German government has given this government its assurances that at least passenger ships would not be thus dealt with, and yet it has again and again permitted its submarine commanders to disregard those assurances. Great liners like the Lusitania and the Ara- ; bic and , Sussex have been attacked without warning. . Sometimes before they had even become aware that they were in the presence of an armed vessel of the enemy, and the lives of non-combatants, passengers and crews have been sacrificed wholesale, in a manner which the government of the United States cannot but regard as wanton and without the slightest color of justification. No-limit of any kind has been set to the indiscriminate destruction of vessels of all kinds and nationalities within the

waters, constantly extending in area, where these operations have been carried on, and the roll of Americans who have lost their lives has grown' month by month until the toll has mounted Into the hundreds. . t if-.' .;-'- ............ f.. - '. .

SUSSEX CASE BRINGS OUT METHODS

WHICH AROUSE NEUTRALS REPROACH "One of the latest and most shocking instances of this warfare was that of the destruction of the French channel steamer Sussex. It must stand forth, as the sinking of the steamer Lusitania did, as though singularly unjustifiable as to constitute a terrible e.xampie of the inhumanity of submarine warfare as the commander of German vessels have for the past twelve months been conducting it. If this instance stood alone, some explanation, some disavowal by the German government of wilful disobedience on the part of the commanders of the vessels that fired the torpedoe might be thought or entertained. But unhappily it does not stand ' alone. Recent events make the conclusion inevitable that it is only one instance, even though It be one of the most extreme and distressing in-stances,-of the spirit and methods of warfare which the . German government has mistakenly adopted and which from the first exposed that government to the reproach of thrusting all neutral rights aside. "The government of the United States has been very patient at every stage of this distressing tragedy In which its own citizens were Involved. Actuated in all it said or did by the sentiment of friendship' which the people of the United States have always entertained and and continue to entertain toward the German nation. It has, of course," accepted the successive explanations and assurances of the German government as given In entire sincerity and good faith, and has hoped even against hope that it would prove possible for the German government so to order and control' the acts of its naval commanders as to square its policy with the principles of humanity as embodied in the laws of nations. It has been willing to wait until the significance of the fact because absolutely unmistakable. "That point now has, unhappily, been reached. The facts are susceptible of but one interpretation. The German government has been unable to put any limits on its warfare against either freight or passenger ships. It has, therefore, become evident that the position which .this government took at the very outset, namely,' that the use of submarines for the destruction of an enemy's commerce is a necessity because of the very character of the vessels employed, and the very methods of attack which their employment of course involves incompatible with the principles of humanity, the long-established rights of natural, and the sacred immunities of non-combatants.

TEITSORT AMENDS $25,000 COMPLAINT
