BRITISH NOTE PUIS
Nation Will Continue to
Protect Interests.
SHIPS STILL TO BE DETAINED
No Abatement of Policy Prom
ised by Earl Grey.
FOOD DISTINCTION GONE
""CWilinn ropnlation"' Is Declared
' Merged Into Military Organiza
tion by Virtue of German
System of Warfare.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17. Great
Britain's second and complete reply to
the American note of protest, which on
December 28 last asked for an early
improvement in the treatment of
American commerce by the British
fleet, was made public tonight by mu
tual agreement between the State De
partment and the British Foreign
Orfice.
The note, addressed to Ambassador
Dage by Sir Kdward Grey under date
of February 10, denies that the de
pression in American industries is due
to the activity of the British fleet, and
puggests amongr other causes the
shortage of shipping facilities, the con
sequent diminution of cotton trade and
the destruction by submarine minis
"laid by the enemy indiscriminately"
of many neutral vessels.
Retaliatory Mnoum Threatened.
After giving a lengthy detailed an
swer to the charge that American ships
and cargoes were being unduly de
tained, the communication contains in
its concluding paragraph the an
nouncement that Great Britain in
tends to take retaliatory measures
against the German submarine cam
paign against enemy ships, but does
not roveal their nature.
Conceding that foodstuffs intended
fov the civil population of a country
are not contraband, tho BriU.-.h gov
ernment poiuta out that "in any coun
try in which there exists sucli tremen
dous organization for war as now ob
tains in Germany, there is no clear di
vision between those whom the gov
ernment is responsible lor feeding and
those whom it is not."
Injury tn cutralit ot Intended.
It will .-till be our endeavor,' says
the final paragraphs, "to avoid injury
and loss to neutrals, but the announce
ment by the German government of
their Intention to sink merchant ves
sels and their cargoes without vennca
lion of their nationality or character
and without making any provision for
the safety of non-combatant crewB or
giving them a chance of saving their
lives has made it necessary for His
Majesty's government to consider what
measures they should adopt to protect
their interests.
"It is impossible for one belligerent
to depart from rules and precedents
nd for the other to remain bound by
them."
Note IJIscuaaea l.nxv I'olata.
Supplementing the preliminary reply
rf several weeks ago, the new note is
about 10,000 words long and Includes
not only statistical argument but a
further discussion of tho legal prin
ciples Involved. Foremost, however. Is
the denial of the British government
that tho depression in Araorican indus
tries referred to In the American note
as duo to the allesed interference of
the British fleet with American com
merce or " the result of any exorcise of
belligerent rights."
Since the presentation of the pre
liminary note, Kir Kdward says that he
has '.iad "further opportunity of ex
amining into the trade statistics of the
United States as embodied in the cus
toms returns, in order to see whether
the belligerent action of Great Britain
has been in any way the cause of trade
depression, which your excellency
( Ambassador rage) describes as exist
ing in tho United States, and also
whether the seizures of vessels or car
goes which have been made by the
British navy have inflicted any loss on
American owners for which our exist
ing machinery provides no means of
redress."
Methods Declared Consistent.
"In setting out the results of my ln
vestisratlon." writes the British Secre
tary. "I think it well to take the oppor
tunity of giving a general review of
the methods employed by His Majesty's
government to Intercept contraband
trade with tho enemy, of their consist
ency with the admitted right of a bel
ligcrent to Intercept such trade and
also of the extent to which they have
endeavored to meet the representa
tions and complaints from time to time
addressed to them on behalf of the
United States Government.
"Toward the close of your note of
December ;S your excellency describes
the situation produced by the action of
Great Britain as a pitiful one to the
cummorcial interests of the United
States, and said that- many of the
great industries of the country were
suffering because their products were
denied long established markets in
neutral European countries contiguous
to the nations at war.
Blame for mkm of Trade Denied.
-It is unfortunately true that in
these days, when trade and finance are
cosmopolitan, any war, particularly a
war of any magnitude, must result in
a previous dislocation of commerce, In-

ported here today from credible
sources that the German steamer Hol
aer was sighted yesterday heading for
Buenos Aires and having on board the

to the bottom by some German warship,
probably off the coast of Brazil.
The steamship llolgcr has been lden.
tiflcd with German activities in the

SHIP BILL AGAIN IS
BLOCKED IN SENATE
New Measure Fails to
Satisfy Insurgents.
CONFERENCE IS PREVENTED
Work on Appropriations Is to
Be Begun Soon.
EXTRA SESSION UNLIKELY
Witness in Senate Hearing Says
German Government Has Prohib
ited Sale ot Vessels Xow
in American Ports.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17. The amend
ed Government ship-purchase Diu
rushed through the House early today
failed to gain ground when it reached
the Senate, and Administration leaders
tonight were in doubt as to what would
be its fate.
Early in the day It was discovered
that the amended bill had railed to
satisfy recalcitrant Democrats or Pro
gressive Republicans. Without support
of either of these factions it could not
be passed. In this situation the regu
lar Democratic leaders realized that
nothing could be done unless some
change in the measure could be effected
in conference, but all their efforts to
send the amended bill to conlerence
failed.
Supply Bills Insisted On.
Another attempt will be made to
morrow, and then itepuoncan leaoers,
who insist the bill is dead, are expected
to demand an understanding that ap
propriation bills will be taken up be
fore they cease their opposition.
Interest centered today in the special
Senate committee's inquiry into charges
of outside influences concerning the
ship measure. At the first of the hear
ts Bernard N. Baker, or .Baltimore,
formerly connected with the Atlantic
Transportation Company, told the com.
mittee ot conferences -with Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo. in which he
told the Secretary that 80 per cent ot
foreign ships tied up in American ports
because of the war could not be con
sidered as available for purchase by
the United States for freight service
because they were passenger vessels.
Germany Ordered Not to Sell.
Mr. Baker also said that w. J. sickle,
an official of the Hamburg-American
lino, had told him he had received or
ders from the German government not
to sell any German vessels in American
ports to tho United States.
This testimony prompted the com
mittee to summon Mr. Sickle, who will
appear tomorrow. Mr. Downey, a New
York shipbuilder, also has been sum
moned. Late in tho day Administration lead
ers held a long conference and Post
master Burleson discussed with them
appropriation bills to be taken up in

Wednesday's War Moves
THE time limit set by Germany Tor
neutral shipping to take measures
of safety has expired and Germany is
now expected to put into operation her
declared intention of employing her
submarines and mines in the waters
around the British Iles. which she
has proclaimed a war zono, with the
object of shutting off the food supplies
of the British people.
Germany has earnestly warned the
neutral states that this cone will here
after be a danger zone for all shipping
and has expressed her determination of
taking' the most stringent action
against the British merchantmen.
It Is announced from Berlin that
Germany's reply to the American note
of protest against such action has been
handed to the American Ambassador at
the German capital, but this reply has
not yet been received by the State De
partment at Washington.
In the meantime Germany, in de
veloping her submarine warfare, has
added one more merchant ship to the
list of vessels destroyed by sinking the
small French steamer Ville de Lille off
Cherbourg.
(Regarding the operations on land. It
Is apparent from the official announce
ment issued by the French War Office
that some heavy fighting is taking
place both in Belgium and France. The
French claim not only to have- main
tained the ground recently gained but
to have captured some of the German
trenches and repelled many counter
attacks by the Germans.
French aviators have dropped bombs
on the railway station at Freiburg,
Baden.
Field Marshal Von Hindenburg's suc
cessful operations against the Russian
Tenth Army Corps in East Prussia are
still being celebrated In Berlin, where
Von Hindenburg's direction of the
campaign is described as having been
characterized by masterly skill. Offi
cially It is announced that the German
roops arc still following tho Rus.sians
north of the Neiinen River.
In Poland, north of ' the Vistula,
from Plock, recently occupied by the
Germans, to Racionz, another great
battle apparently is developing, the
fight in that region already being of
a desperate nature.
Austria, according to Swiss advices,
for 10 days has been concentrating
troops, chiefly artillery, on her Italian
frontier. Guns have been emplaced to
dominate the Tyrolean passes.
All along the entire boundary of
Serbia, Albanian forces are active.
Ochrida, 100 miles north of Junina,
has been captured by the Albanians
and violent fighting in in progress at
several places.
A Constantinople dispatch to Berlin
says the Bulgarian seaport of Dedca
gatch, on the Aegean Sea, is blockaded
by British and French warships to
prevent foodstuffs from being trans
ported to Germany and Austria through
this route.
A report from Basel. Switzerland,
says that Emperor William, who has
Invited Mr. Gerard, the Amcrh an Am
bassador to Germany, to the East
Prussian front, will personally apolo
gize to the Ambassador for the demon
stration made against him rei-ently In
a Berlin theater. Basel gives a Berlin
dispatch as the basis for thij state
ment. Great Britain, in her answer to the
American protest against the datcntion
of American ships by British wnr ves
sel?, denies that Great Britain unduly
detains ships or that the naval opera
tions of Great Britain have been the
cause of any diminution in the vol
ume of American exports, adding that
if the commerco of the United States
is In the unfavorable condition charged
in the American note "the cause ought,
in fairness to be sought elsewhere than
In the activities of his majesty's naval
forces."
Among theso causes, tho note cites
the shortage of shipping facilities, the
consequent diminution of the cotton
trade and tho destruction by submarine
mines, "laid by the enemy," of many
neutral vessels.
Tho answer concedes that foodstuffs
for a civil population are not contra
band, but says "in any country In
which there exists such a tremendous
nrsanization for war as now obtains
in Germany there is no clear division
between those whom the Government
Is responsible for feeding and whom
it is not."
The note says Great Britain will
retaliate against Germany's submarine
campaign, but does not go into details
concerning its proposed procedure.

stock Jobbing was objected to now by
