Germany to Declare War on United States Cited in Bathman Note
German papers claim Germany will declare war after a U boat is fired on by a U S ship. A Bathman notes Germany asserts it is proper for U boats to sink unarmed American ships as they can but argues it is improper for those ships to defend themselves.
