made by Admiral Behncke of the ma
rine department and transmitted to
Lieut. Commander Walter R. Gher-
ardl, naval attache of the American
embassy. It is given out officially as
follows:
"Up to the present time Germany
in the war at sea has followed the
London declaration or the stipula
tions of the Paris treaty^on which the
conduct of war on the sea had bqen
based before the London declaration
"In waging this commercial war
fare England had in view the sub-
. ugation of Germany by starvation
Germany in every way had sought to
bring to the attention of the neutral
powers and all others the necessity
she was under to obtain food for her
civilian population, which was her
right under the laws of war. No re
sults could be obtained from her ef
forts.
“Since the shutting o7 of food sup
plies had now come to r. point where
Germany no longer had sufficient
food to feed her people, it bc<.Jtme
necessary for her to bring England to
terms through force Germany knows
that by the use of the submarine
England cant be placed in a position
from the American standpoint cer
tain of the points raised are quite
Justified. Germany, however, it Is
declared, intends to adhere to its own
viewpoint.
Various officials, diplomatic, naval
and military, whose opinions have
been sought, profess to see no ele
ments of danger In the situation and
are convinced that the naval cam
paign can be conducted on the lines
laid down In the admiralty proclama
tion without Involving difficulties be
tween the United States and Ger
many.
The Hague reports: The German
legation has again warned neutral
vessels against entering the war area
around the British Isles as defined by
thq German admiralty, and to the
original note adds the following
“Since Germany, following the ex
ample of Great Britain, declared as
a war zone on and after February 18
English and Irish waters, the British
have declared all the ports of Eng
land war ports and have justified the
use of neutral flags on merchant ves

"First, in arming her merchant
ships with guns for self-defense, Eng
land adopted a policy against which
Germans strongly protest. The Unit-1
ed States took the British point of
view. Submarines can not approach
British merchant ships and make'ex-|
amlnattons without exposing them
selves.
"Second, England has advised her
merchant fleet to fly neutral flags, to
cover up names and change stacks to]

Admiral Behncke then said that
Germany was prepared to suggest to
the United States an even freer and
safer method of passage for Ameri
can ships bound either through the
channel or to English ports—namely
that several American warships
should wait in some port on the
southwest coast of Ireland, and when
communicated with by wireless by an
American merchantma* oneu should
proceed to the place Indicated and
convoy the merchantman through
that portion of the sea which Ger
many, following the example of Great
Britain, has declared to he dangerous
“Of course,” said the admiral
“ships under convoy, by the rules of
International law, are not subject to
search, bpt the country to which they
belong is bound, upon its honor, as it
were, to see that they do not carry
contraband of war.
“American warships have dlstinc
live masts and hither by night or da;
they and vessels convoyed would b
respected by German submarines.
"This is • safe method tp follow
for American ships which desire to
enter those portions of the seas pro
claimed dangerous by Germany, and
differs only from the rule adopted by
Great Britain with reference to Amer
lean ship passing through the chan
nel in that American ships Instead of
being compelled to enter a British
port take a British pilot and be
searched by officers of a British war
ship, would he p rmitted to pass un
molested to their destination without
being subjected to search, the impe
rial Geripan government being will
ing. of course, to accept the implied
word ofjfconor of the United Stales
that the ghlpi carry no contraband

Dieppe, France, reports a German
submarine torpedoed Friday morning
without warning the French steamer
Dinorah ‘from Havre for Dunkirk, at
paoint 16 miles off Dieppe. The ves
sel did not sink, but was towed Into
the harbor of Dieppe. No mention
Is made of the loss of any,of the
crew,
A plate on the port side of the
steamer below the water line was
stove In by the torpedo. Hard pump
ing kept the ship afloat. Word of the
occurrence was taken Into Dieppe by
fishing boats and assistance was sent
out.
Liverpool reports: ~ “The Norwe
gian tank steamshlng Belridge, which
sailed from New Orleans January 28
and Newport News February 8 for
Amesterdam, struck a mine Friday
off Dover. The vessel was only slight
ly damaged by tbe explosion and the
she probably will finish her voyage
to the Dutch port.
All travel between England and
the continent of Europe has been
suspended by the British admiralty
until further notice, according to ad
vices received Friday at the state de
partment in Washington.
Some state department officials In
terpreted the suspension of "tavet”
as referring to passengers and as s
measure adopted until there could be
some rearrangement of ship sched
ules with protection of convoys: but
other officials thought it might tem
porarily Include all commercial Inter
course across the English channel.
The suspension probably wilt affect
trans-Atlantic traffic considerably,
though lack of definite Information
as to England's retaliatory measures
against the German submarine cam
paign rendered it difficult for officials
to forecast what the exact results of
the order would be.
London reports at noon Friday:
Although no reports reached London
of German submarine activity during
the Brat 24 hours after the war sone
decree became effective, there are in
creasing signs that Germany la bend
Ing every effort to make good her
threats against British shipping.

tired in good o-*Occupation of
Bukowlna by II -- sn« several
weeks ago and presence of the Aus
trians near the Roumanian frontier
was halted aa a situation which
should justify Roumanla’s entry into
the war on the side of the Allies; and
to-day, with Paikowlna once more In
Austrian hands, the situation egain
grows Interesting. Newspaper corre-
spondends have ceased predicting
when Roumanla will take up arms
but sympathizers with the Allies have
not given up the expectation that she
ultimately will take that step.
The situation in tho northern ex
tremlty of the eastern battle line is
not so clear as It was a few days ago
Territory oh both sides of the East
Prussian frontier has been desolated
and areas both in Russia and In East
Prussia have been converted Into
sort of present-day Belgium. Petro
grad speaks of the flght of the Rus
sian population before the German
advance, while Emperor William
eulogizing the victory of Field Mar
shal von Hindenberg, laments the
depredations of the retreating Rus
sians.
Apparently no great battle has
been fought since the Russians began
their retreat toward the Niemen
Petrograd insists that engagements
since have been outpost affairs, which
would seem to indicate that the Ger-
Chlna haa instructed her ministers
in the United States, Greet Britain)
France and Rumla to deliver to those
powers a memorandum of the de
mands originally made by Japan for
concessions and privileges In return
for the restoration of the territory of
Kiao-Chow, In China.
K&i Fu Shah, the Chinese minister
at Washington, has just presented
the memorandum to the state depart
ment. This contains seven or eight
more demands than those In tb**
memorandum the Japanese foreign
office, on February 9 gave to foreign
diplomatic representatives.
The belief prevailed In official
quarters that Ihasmuch as tbe Chi
nese memorandum antedated consid
erably the statement given the pow
ers by Japan, the latter docnmenl
probably constituted the present basis
of negotiations and signified either
that the original demands were only
tentative or that they had been aban
doned by Japan.
The Japanese version confined
Japan’s requests to privileges end
concessions in Southern Manchuria,
Inner Mongolia and Shantung, com
petent American observers believe,
does not conflict srlth the two polldee
to which the United States has been
committed—the principle of main
taining the Integrity of China and
the "open door" for commercial op
portunity.
As for the original version, it n
reported In some quarters that tbe
Japanese also had asked for privi
leges In certain local’ties, as the
provinces of Fuklan and Klangmi.
Obligations requiring the consent of
Japan before choosing political, finan
cial or military advisers or the float
ing of loans were thought, too, to
have referred only to these provisions
and not to the republic of China.
According to the Japanese verskm.
as given 4n Japan’s memorandum to
the powers, her demands are strict-
ed to the territory within her "sphere
of influence" in China.
They are summarised aa follows:
In Shantung—China is not to
alienate or lease to another power
pert of the Chantung coast or Is
lands; also Japan la to build a spar
of railway from the main line beck
to Ptao-Chow up to Chefoo.
In Manchuria and Mongolia—
I .ease of the railways acquired from
Russia la to he extended; alas four
"freighter ^iwteh.
50 mile strip of territory lying be
tween the Niemen line and the East
Prussian frontier.
On the Either hand the Germans
are celebrating a notable victory over
the Russians in East Prussia, includ
ing the taking of 64,000 prisoners.
The German note to the United
States’ still is occupying the atten
tion of British, Dutch and Scandina
vian newspapers, while German news
papers eontiue to assert that In the
face of starvation Germany must en
force a sear blockade regardless of
the consequences.
For several days the fighting in the
west would seem to have been In
favor of the Allies. The Germans
have been counter-attacking violent
ly, but they appear to hare had heavy
-losses. The pressure of the Allies
has no doubt been timed to keep the
Germans buqy during developments
