L I BRITISH NOTE PUTS ERi BLAMEQNG M No Abatement of Policy of De tention of Ships for Search Promised. FOOD DISTINCTION GONE "Civilian Population" Is Declared Merged Into Military Organiza tion ny Virtue or German ' ' System of Warfare. (Continued From First rage.) Eluding that of the nations which taKe no part in the war, and your excellency will realize that in this tremendous truggle. for the outbreak of which Great Britain is in no way responsiuie. it is impossible for the trade of any country to escape all injury and loss, but for such his majesty s government are not to blame. I do not understand the paragraph u i. . t i,v minted from your ex cellency's note as referring to these in direct consequences of the sUteofW but to the more proximate and direct "LIZ. th hiirh seas. Such action lias been limited to vessels on their ... .mv norts or ports in neu- . tra! countries adjacent to the theater of war. because It is onij m.-a- ----- ports that the enemy introduces tho Supplies which he requires fcr carry Ing on the war." i.,w Frir V1 Uetald. ir Edward then points out that only eieht out of 775 vessels sailing iru... r.IR for neutral European Gentries have been placed in the prize a iht onlv 45 have been win porariiy detained to enable particular consignments of cargo to be discharged for the purpose ot prize conn '"n he note does not go into detail as to American ships, detained on high seas or taken to British ports for search. The next paragraph analyzes the sta tistics of exports from the n'ted , States, and makes the observation that it is therefore clear that, if cotton be excluded, the effect of the war has been not to Increase, but practically ar ret the decline of American exports which was in' progress earlier in the year; In fact, the decrease in American exports Which is attributed to the war ia essentially due to cotton." Tointing out that Great Britain has never declared cotton contraband or in terfered with its shipment, the note then remarks that imports of cotton to the United Kingdom fell as heavily as those to other countries, and the same, "no doubt, was true of France." Real Came Sought Elwwher. "The general result." It continues. "Is to show convincingly that the naval operations ot Great Britain are rot the cause of any diminution in the volume of American exports, and that If the commerce of the United States is in the unfavorable condition which Tour Ex cellency describes the cause outrht in. fairness to be sought elsewhere than In the activities of Hl3 Majesty's naval forces." V Moreover.' tho British communica tion contends that even though trade between the United States and the allies has diminished from normal, the commerce with neutral countries, as compared with previous years, has been maintained and the inference "mav fairly be drawn" that a "sub stantial part of this trade was In fact Intended for the enemy countries through neutral ports by routes to which it was previously unaccus tomed." Taking up some, of the "inconven iences" to which this great war is ex posing tlie commerce of all neutral countries, tho note points out that un doubtedly the "serious shortage in shipping available for ocean transport and the consequential result of exces sive freights" have had much to do with the situation, but a denial is en tered that Great Britain's activity has brought about this shortage, for It is added that only 10 neutral vessels are waiting adjudication in prize courts. tlrltalB, Too, l SiolTerlnsr. Great Britain declares that she. too. Is suffering from the shortage of ship ping and a rise in freights " as acutely if not more than other nations" and has taken "every step consistent with belligerent interests to increase the tonnage available, for the transporta tion of sea-borne commerce." The hope Is expressed that the United States ill realize that the de tention of neutral ships by tho allies has not contributed nearly so much to the Fhortage of shipping "as has the destruction of neutral vessels by Mibmarine mines indiscriminately laid by the enemy on the high seas many niiles from the coast In the track of merchant vessels." "Until now." continues the note. "25 neutral vessels have been reported as destroyed by mines on the high seas: quite apart from all questions of the breach of treaties and the destruction of life, there is far more reason for protest on the score of belligerent In terference with innocent neutral trade througr the mines scattered by the enemv than through the British ex ercises of the right of seizing contra band." Right of Interception Reasserted. Discussing the general proposition that a belligerent is entitledto capture contraband goods on their way to the enemy, the British note traces the ori--gin cif the right of interception and speaks of tho new devices encountered from time to time for dispatching con traband goods to an enemy. Here the doctrine of continuous voyage as enun ciated during tho Civil War by Secre tary Seward is quoted at length and the question of ultimate destination ar gued in legal detail. To justify the detention of suspected cargoes when passing between neutral countries and taking them into ports for examination, cases of American practice during the Spanish-American war also are cited and the note says these precedents are inconsistent with the statement of the American Govern ment made to the. British Ambassador at Washington November 7, which in sists that search should be made on the high seas at the time of the visit and that the "conclusion of the search should rest upon the evidence found on the ship under investigation and not upon circumstances ascertained from external sources." The Foreign Secretary reiterates that the Increased size of steamships necessitates search in calm waters and insists that during the Husso-Japanese war and also during the second Balkan war "British vessels were made to de viate from their course and follow the cruisers to some spot where the right of visit and search could bo more con veniently carried out." and In both cases, "although questioned at first. Great Britain finally acquiesced." Rights Adapted tm Commerce. To take a ship into port, the note contends. Is not to be looked on "as a new belligerent right, but as an adap tation of the existing right to the mod ern conditions of commerce." and, like all belligerent rights. It must be ex ercised "with due regard to neutral in terests, and it would be unreasonable to expect a neutral vessel to make long deviations from her course for this purpose." For this reason, it is assert ed, neutral merchantmen were encour aged to visit some British port on their route'to avoid the alternative of keep ing a vessel waiting, perhaps for days, for better weather conditions on the high seas. Realizing that in no war that has yet been waged have neutral individuals "not occasionally suffered from unjustified belligerent action," Great Britain suggests that opportuni ties for adequate compensation are of fered in the British prize courts, de tails of which proceedings are given. "It Is the common experience of every war." continues the note, "that neutrals whose attempts to engage in suspicious trading are frustrated by a belligerent are wont to have recourse to their government to urge that dip lomatic remonstrances should be made on their behalf,' and that redress should be obtained for them in this way. When an effective mode of redress is open to thom in the courts of a civilized country, by which they can obtain ade quate satisfaction ror any mvasiuu ui their rights which Is contrary to the law of nations, the only course which is consistent with sound principle is hot thov should be referred to that mode of redress, and that no diplomatic ntinn chnuia be taken until their legal remedies have been exhausted and they are in a position to snow prima incio denial of justice. Precedent Consistently Followed. The British government recalls that it followed this course with its own ships during the American Civil War and the ffpanisn-American War. In connection wltn tne suojeci detentions. Ambassador rage is re minded that he has now Deen suppn by the British Foreign Office "with particulars of every ship under Amer ican colors detained and of every ship ment of cargo in which an American citizens appears to be the party Inter ested: not only is the fact of detention notified to Your Excellency, but so far as is practicable the grounds upon which the vessel or cargo had been detained are also communicated to you a concession which enables any United States citizen to take steps at once .to protect his Interests." Turning to the question of condition al contraband and foodstuffs, the note "No - country had maintained muio stoutly than Great Britain in modern times the principle that a belligerent should abstain from interference with the foodstuffs Intended lor the civil population, but circumstances of the present struggle are causing His Maj esty's government some anxiety as to whether the exls'ting rules with re gard to conditional contraband, framed, as thev were with the object of pro tecting so far as possible the supplies which were Intended for the civil pop ulation, are effective for the purpose, or suitable to the conditions present.

Experi ence shows that the power to requisi tion will be used to the fullest extent, will be used to assure that the wants of the military are supplied, and how ever much goods may be imported for civil use it Is by the military that they will be consumed if military exigencies require it. especially now that the Ger man government have taken control of all foodstuffs in the country. After giving statistics tending to show that supplies are reaching neu tral ports from the United States to -an unprecedented extent" and reciting efforts on the part of his government "to deal as leniently as possible with neutral interests." Sir Edward points out that Great Britain has recognized "the transfer to a neutral flag of en emy ships belonging to. companies which were incorporated in the enemy country, but all of whose shareholders were neutral." even waiving objections to companies "Incorporated in Germany which were subsidiary to and owned by American corporations." the only condi tion being imposed that these vessels "should take no further part In trade with the enemy country." Consideration Shown Nentrals. "I have given these indications." con cludes Sir Edward, "of the policy which we have followed, because I cannot h,elp feeling that if the facts were more fully known as to the efforts which we have made to avoid inflicting any avoidable injuries upon neutral coun triesuany complaints which have been received by the Administration - in Washington and which led to the pro test which your excellency handed to me on December 28 would never have been made. "My hope is that when the facts which I have set out above are realized and when it is seen that our naval op erations have not diminished American trade with neutral countries, and that the lines on which we have acted are consistent with the fundamental prin ciples of international law it will be apparent to the Government and people of the United States that His Majesty's government have hitherto endeavored to exercise their belligerent rights with every possible consideration for the in terests of neutrals." , BERLIN AXXIOUS, THINKS KOJIE Food Shortage Already Felt by Poor Classes, Says Newspaper.

AMERICA ASKED BY TO BERLIN E FIRM Washington Is Urged to Insist on Right to Ship Food to German Civilians. FREE REIN IS OFFERED United States Consular , Officers Would Be rcrmittcd to Super vise Distributioq, Says Am bassador for Kaiser. WASHINGTON, Feb. 17. Announce ment was made by tho State Depart ment today of receipt of the official lort t Oermanv's note, urging the United States Government to insist on the, rlc-ht to shiD to Germany food stuffs for the noncombatant popula tinn and proposing that the distribu tion in Germany be made under the supervision of American Consular oi ficers. The. text, delivered by Count Bern KtorfT. German Ambassador to Wash- inc-ton follows: "The federal council's decision con cerning the seizure of food products, which England alleges to be the cause of food products Bhipped to Germany being treated as contraband, is ex clusively on 'wheat, rye, both unmixed and mixed with other products.' and also 'wheat, rye, oats and barley flour.'

Sir Kdward Grey denies injury to American commerce has been due to British measur.es. He says any great war must result in dis location of trade, but attributes this loss chiefly to the "destruction of neutral vessels by submarine mines laid by the enemy on the high seas many miles from the coast in the track of merchant vessels." The risht of interception of cargoes is reasserted and cases of " American practice during the Spanish-American war are cited, with -the declaration that they are Inconsistent with the statement of the American Government that search "should be made at the time of the visit." The Foreign Secretary reiterates that the Increased size of steam ships necessitates search in calni waters, and insists that during the Russo-Japanese war and also during the second Balkan war "British vessels were made to deviate from their course and follow the cruisers to some spot where tho right of visit and search could be more conve niently carried out," and in both cases, "although questioned at first, Great Britain finally acquiesced." It is set forth that large amounts of contraband have reached tho enemy through neutral ports. This, it Is held, justifies the precau- tions taken. Neutrals, it is said, have ample opportunities for ade quate recourse through British prize courts. The British government recalls that it followed this course with its own ships during the American Civil war and the Spanish-American war. The British government refuses to give any definite pledge in cases where supplies are dispatched to an "agent in a neutral port." On this subject it says: "The reason for drawing a distinction between foodstuffs intended for the civil population and those for the armed forces or enemy gov-, ernment disappears when the distinction between the civil popula tion and tho armed forces itself disappears. "In any country In which there exists such tremendous organiza tion for war as now obtains In Germany, there is no clear division between those whom the government is responsible for feeding and those whom it is not. Experience shows that the power to requisition will be used to the fullest extent, will be used to assure that the wants of the military are supplied, and however much goods may be imported for civil use it is by the military that they will be con sumed if military exigencies require-it, especially now that the Ger man government has taken control of all foodstuffs in the country." In conclusion, the reply says it hopes It will be apparent to the people of the United States that Great Britain has hitherto endeavored to exercise its belligerent rights "with every possible consideration for tha Interests of neutrals." ported from abroad, after January 31." "Conjunctively with that saving clause, the federal council's order contains a provision under which im ported cereals and flours could be sold exclusively to the municipalities or certain specially designated orsaniza tions by the importer. Although that provision had for its object simply to throw imported grain and flour into such channels as svpoly the private consumption of civilians, and in conse quence of that provision, the intent and purpose of the federal council's order, which was to protect the civilian pop ulation from speculators ana engros sers, were fully met, it was never theless rescinded so as to leave room for doubt. ".My government is amenable to any proposition looking to control by special American organization under I he supervision of the American consu-. lar officers, and Ir necessary win It self make a proposition in that direc tion. Food fop Ciriliana Only. "The German government further calls attention to the fact that munic ipalities do not form part of or belong to the government. ' but are 'self ad ministrative bodies.' which are elected by the inhabitants of the commune in accordance with fixed rules, and therefore exclusively represent part of the population and act as it directs. Although these principles are gener ally known and obtain in- the United .States as well as in England itself, the German government desired to point out the fact so as to avoid any further unnecessary delay. "Hence it Is absolutely assured that imported looa products will De con sumed by the civilian population In Germany exclusively and there remains no ground upon which England can pre vent the exportation of food products from America to Germany for the use of civilians. , "The Imperial government expresses the firm hope that the American Gov eminent will stand on Its rights- In this matter."

President Wilson declared today he believed an erroneous impression had grown up concerning the food supply in the United States. In a letter to Mayor Mltchel, of New York, replying to a suggestion that an embargo be placed by the Federal Gov ernment on exports of wheat, the Presi dent wrote that in the near future tho Administration will give out a state ment showing the exact situation. The President thanked Mayor Milchcl for his letter and for the report of the food committee, headed by George W. Perkins, in which It was nugecsted that the amount of wheat li the United States at present as compared with the amount on hand a year ago be made public. "The matter is one to which the Administration has, of course, from the first, given the most thoughtful and careful attention." wrote the President. "The Agricultural Department Is In pos. session ot all the facts. About these facts some very erroneous impres sions obtain, and it Is our purpose In tho immediate future to remove these misunderstandings by a very full and clear statement of all tho facts. They will. I think, reassure the country." Mayor Mltchel's letter has been re ferred (o Secretary Houston and a thorough Investigation now is being made. It is understood to be the posi tion of the President that he had no authority to declare an embargo on the exportation of foodstuffs, even though such a step were considered wise.
