Washington, March 8.
The German Ambassador, Count Bernstorff, has handed Mr. Lansing, Becretary of State, another long memorandum on submarine warfare, It is understood that it complains that Great Britain is taking advantage of the American attitude to instruct her armed merchantmen to act on the offensive against submarines. It admits that international law does not provide for the use of submarines and offers to operate them on the basis of the international laws existing before the war if Great Britain will respect the latter.
