Wilson presses Germany on future submarine warfare rules
President Wilson spent the day drafting a new note to Germany on compliance with international law in submarine warfare. He aims to ensure unarmed vessels are protected and passengers and crew transferred to safety before attacks. The Lusitania issue remains central, with officials asserting it was unarmed. Count Von Bernstorff met with Secretary Bryan in a cordial, yet tense, exchange as U.S. officials seek firm German adherence to maritime law.
