WARNING FROM WASHINGTON. United State* Declare* That Americans Must Be Protected. Publication last night by the state department of the text of notes sent Wednesday, to Great Britain and Germany, respectively, revealed that both countries had been warned in most emphatic terms against menacing the vessels or lives of American citizens traveling the recently proclaimed sea zones of war. Germany was advised that the United States would be constrained to hold the imperial government to a strict accountability for any acts of its naval authorities which might result in the destruction of American vessels or the loss of American lives and that if "such a deplorable situation should arise." the American government "would take any steps it might be necessary to safeguard American lives and property." To Great Britain, the United States pointed out "the measure of responsibilty" which would seem to be imposed on the British government "for - * - 1- llvna the loss or American vcsacio In case of an attack by a German naval force" if England sanctioned general misuse of the American flag, and thereby cast doubt upon the valid character of neutral ensigns. The communications were to bave been presented today by Ambassador Page at London and by Ambassador Gerard at Berlin. They were prepared bv Consulor Robert Lansing and revised'by President Wilson and Secretary Bryan after consultation witn the entire cabinet. The British, Spanish and Brazilian ambassadors were given copies of the notes, as were the ministers of Sweden, Norway and Denmark. The document created a sensation among diplomats generally because of what some regarded as their drastic impli?aHigh officials of the American government pointed out informally, it has been deemed advisable to speak in unmistakable terms now rather than to await the alarming effect upon American public opinion, which might ensue from the sinking of a vessel with scores of American citizens. Tne notes, officials were confident, would prevent the critical possibilities dis ?? cussed by them. Diplomats examined with great interest the language of the communications and some construed the note to Germany as a warning that the loss of American lives by sinking even a belligerent merchant ship would be covered by the representations of the American government because of the Insistence that all merchant ships must be visited and searched and passengers taken off before ships can be sunk. T. H. PRICE ON COTTON Well Known Expert Thinks Peace Will Help Situation. Looking ahead there is no new factor discernible that seems likely to deflect the market very far away from the parity of eight cents a pound for cotton in the primary southern markets. Exports for the week are 482,799 bales, which exceed the record at this season of the year, and this fact has had more or less appeal for the speculative imagination and has led to some buying of futures chiefly for the account of people in the west, where the excitement in the grain market has made it easy to get buying orders for anything. Were conditions normal throughout the world there is little doubt that spinners would take the entire surplus of this year's crop at present prices by way of protecting themselves against a possible shortage in the future. Conditions are not normal, however, and the continental merchants and spinners who are generally the largest buyers in years of superabundant supply have neither the credit in which to make forward purchases or the assurance that they will be able to sell the goods that the cotton would produce if they bought it. We would greatly prefer to predict a continued advance in the market if we could do so logically, but while we do not expect a serious decline we can see no reason for any immediate advance. The supply is ample. Those who own it are willing to sell it at eight cents in the south, and until the accumulation of last autumn is still further reduced a further advance in prices is likely to be deferred. This opinion assumes a continuance of the war until the summer. Should peace come sooner, and it may, cotton will almost overnight become very cheap at present prices, and for the American and English spinner buying on easy markets would seem to be the only intelligent policy to pursue. Sooner or later peace must come, and sooner or later cotton bought at nine cents a pound will be saleable at a substantial profit.?Commerce ana Finance.
