American anger was not removed by the Note which the

German Government sent to America on Tuesday. In this Germany says that submarine commanders have been instructed not to harm neutral vessels, and that if such vessels should be "accidentally damaged* she will express regret and pay damages without any Prize Court proceedings. Neutral ships carrying contraband will be dealt with according to the rules of naval warfare. Germany, of course, has not the means of fulfilling the last promise, as her Navy is not at KIL. For the rest, she offers cash payments to a nation mourning for their dead men, women, and children.
