Wilsons Second Note to Germany in Full Text
The United States replies to Germany, reaffirming the rights of neutral ships, condemning the sinking of the Lusitania and other attacks, and urging humane conduct. It defends American neutrality duties, seeks evidence if misstatements exist, and offers United States mediation to deescalate the sea warfare. The note stresses humanity, international law, and American lives, including many citizens lost. Robert Lansing signs as secretary of state ad interim.
