ATTACKS VIEWED WITH AMAZEMENT.
(Received Saturday, at 10.45 a.m.) LONDON, Friday. The American Note to Germany covers the sinking of the Falaba, dishing, Gulfiight and Lusitairia. The Government views the attacks with amazement, and is loth to believe that acts so absolutely contrary to tho spirit of modern warfare were countenanced by the German Government. America's objection'- to Germany's present methods against the enemies' trade lies in the practical impossibility of employing submarines without disregarding the rules of justice and humanity. In the cases cited time could have been given the passengers and crews to leave the vessels, but even this poor measure of safety was not given, and in at least two cases no warning was received. Apart from the surprising irregularity of the German Embassy's warning through the newspapers, such action could not be accepted as an excuse or palliation. The Note concludes: We hope Germany will disavow acts, make reparation, and prevent a recurrence of these acts.
