ALLIKD BLOCKADE.
FIX SECOND PROTEST
Position of the United
States to be Set Forth la Note,
Which State Department Officials
is Mow Preparing to Send to the
Allies.
In preparing the protest to T>e sent
to Oreat Britain and France the posi
tion of the United States substan
tially Is as follows:
1. If the action of the allies Is a
blockade, all commerce directly with
Germany can be halted by making
the blockade effective, a certain “ra
dius of activity” being allowed for
the blockading warships off the Ger
man coast, because of the newly de
veloped activities of submarines. But
there can be no legal blockade of the
coast of neutral countries of Europe
contiguous to those at war, under
any circumstances, and commerce be
tween the United States and nputrals,
especially In non-contraband, should
be free from Interruption, ‘Irre
spective of ultimate destination.
2. If the action is not a blockade
then there exists no legal right to de
tain cotton or other non-contraband
cargoes, even when consigned direct
ly to German ports. Nor can food
stuffs or conditional contraband be
Justly Interrupted unless proven,
though consigned to Germany, to be
destined for the use of Us belliger
ent forces and not Its civilian popu
lation. Under the same circum
stances, too, there Is no legal basis
for detaining cargoes consigned from
the United States to neutral countries
of Europe if containing cotton or
non-contraband goods, irrespective of
ultimate destination. Similarly the
allies can not under the previously
accepted principles of International
law Interrupt shipments of foodstuffs
and other conditional contraband en
rou*o between the United States and
neutral countries, unless clearly
proven to be going eventually to the
belligerent forces of Germany and
not Its civilian population.
S. Neutral countries of Europe
may declare embargoes on re-expor
tation of contraband on non-contra
band. thus preventing supplies from
reaching Germany. With this sov
ereign right the United States does
not take Issue, but It will Insist on
Its lights to ship to neutral countries
placing the burden of stopp'ng fur
ther progress on the latter nations
themoelvea.
In considering the foregoing propo
sitions officials realise that Oreat
Britain and her allies have set up the
claim that their actions constitute re
taliatory measures against Germany,
but this, in the view of the American
government, does not affect the
status of international law as be
tween the United States and the bel
ligerents.
The American attitude has not
been changed materially as a result
of explanations In the exchange of
notes with Oreat Britain and Rrance.
After Inquiring what would be the
disposition of various kinds of ship
ments the American government ask
ed “upon what principles of interna
tional law would It rest?’’
“And upon what rule If no block
ade is maintained and declared," It
continued, "could the cargo of a neu
tral ship sailing out of a German port
be condemned? If it Is not con
demned, what other legal course is
there but to release It?"
Great Britain's answer has Indicat
ed that the cargoes diverted Into
British ports and owned by neutrals
be restored to their owners, but this
will not affect the Insistence of the
United States on the legal rights of
Its subjects to ship cargoes of a non-
contraband character to and from
neutral countries without Interrup
tion and regardless of their destina
tion.
During the civil war the United
States enforced a rigid blockade of
the Southern waters by stopping car
goes while plying between neutral
ports, but in the famous Matamoros
cases, finally ruled upon by Chief
Justice Chase, of the Supreme Court
of the United States, the rule of
blockade and continuous voyage In
shipments between England and
Mexico were not held to extend to
goods of a non-contraband character.
State department officials, recalling
the case, pointed out thet non-contra
band goods were released and per
mitted to be forwarded to their desti
nation In the Confederate States.
These cases have formed the prece
dent for American practice ever since
the decisions were accepted by Great
Britain at the time as equitable.
High officials said no communica
tion to the allies had been finally
drafted. It was declared at the state
department that, although the word
"blockade” Is used by Great Britain
in describing the object of her new
measures, the American government
considers that a blockade Is a ques
tion of fact and requires certain ad
vance notifications to that effect
which have not been given.
The order in council, It was point
ed out, did not mention “blockade."
nor was any exact “radius of activi
ty” given limiting the area of opera
tions, the announcement merely con
fining it to ^'European waters, in
cluding the Mediterranean."
The belief of high officials is that
Great Britain to continue her outlin
ed course would be obliged finally to
admit that there is no legal basis for
her action, and that It Is solely a re
taliatory measure resulting from the
fixlsenclee of war.

WAITING ON THE ETTEL
FRENCH AND BRITISH WARSHIPS
OFF VIRGINIA COAST.
Officials Believe Thai Germany Will
Make Proper Reparation for Sink
ing of the Frye.
French at well aa British warships
are cruising outside the Virginia
| Capes, waiting to pounce on the Ger
man commerce destroyer. Print Eltel
1 Friedrich, If she attempts to make for
l the high seas again. There are said
to be four men-of-war, two British
and two French, and they have come
to stay until the Eltel Friedrich re
appears on Interns for the war.
An officer of, the English freighter
Anglo-Patagonlan, which arrived at
Newport News Saturday, told of the
watching cruisers and from him It be
came known for the first time that
the movements of the Eltel Friedrich
were known to the Allies’ war craft
for several days beforo she sought
haven In Hampton Roads.
According to the officer’s story, the
Anglo-Patagonlan was warned last
Sunday by a British cruiser that the
German ship was about and told to
slow up. During the next three days,
he said, his ship made less than 300
knots. Then on Wednesday came this
relieving xiessage from the British
warship:
v“The Eltel Friedrich has passed
Into the Virginia Capes and will not
come out alive.
It is understood the allied squad
ron made every effort to head off the
German, but could not come up with
him or reach the capes first.
Germany probably will repudiate
the action of the captain of the Prlnx
Eltel Friedrich In sinking the Ameri
can ship William P. Frye and make
reparation for the loss of the vessel
and cargo, In the opinion of German
officials in Washington Saturday.
Count von Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, after a visit to the state
department Saturday, Indicated that
he believed the case would be settled
without much difficulty. He told
Counsellor Lansing what the captain
of the Print Eltel had told Capt. Boy-
Ed. naval attache of the German em
bassy. as to the sinking of the Ameri
can ship; but the ambassador reserv
ed hL own opinion on the action of
the commander.
Capt. Tlerlchens Informed Capt.
Boy-Ed that his only guide while at
sea ana for many months out of com
munication with his government, was
the declaration of London This
would permit the destruction of a
neutral prise If carrying a cargo more
than half of which could be proved
to be contraband, provided It was Im
possible to take the vessel to a borne
port.
Since the war’s outbreak Germany
has defined Its views on shipments of
rood tlonal contraband and contend
ed that foodstuffs must be conclusive
ly proved to be destined for the arm
ed forces of an enemy before they can
be set xed.
The German ambassador sent a fall
report to hts government of the
story of the German captain and the
reasons for the latter's action.
It was said on good authority that
In hla report to his government the
ambassador pointed out that while
the captain acted as beet he could
under the circumstances, being Ignor
ant of the status of the contraband
sltuatlbn. this would be an Important
factor In relieving the commander
from personal liability, but would not
affect the necessity for the payment
of damages and the maMDK of re
paration by the German government.
NEW CABINET TAKE OATH.
King Constantine Succeeds in Secur
ing Neutral Ministers.
A Reuter dispatch from Athens
says the new Greek cabinet has caken
the oath of office and also contained
this ministerial decision communicat
ed to the newspapers:
"For Greece, after her victorious
warsy a long period of peace was an
Imperative necessity to enable her to
work for the prosperity of the coun
try.
"In the circumstances the observ
ance of neutrality was Imperative for
her .from the very beginning of tho
European crisis.
"It was, and always Is, her abso
lute duty to fulfill her treaty obliga
tions and to seek satisfaction for her
Interests, without, however, compro
mising the Integrity of her territory.
The government conscious of the duty
of thus serving the interests of the
country, is convinced that the patriot
ism of the people will ensure the en
tire security of those interests.”

Russia and England Have Warned
Japanese That if Demands Were
Excessive Allies Could no Longer
Treat Diplomatically — United
States Looks After Her Interest.
Official information is credited in
Peking that the Russian and British
ambassador at Toklo called upon
Baron Kato, the Japanese Foreign
minister, last Saturday, and informed
him that If Japan persisted In press
ing upon China demands beyond
thdse contained in her original com
munication to the powers It would be
difficult for Japan’s allies to nego
tiate diplomatically with her In the
future.
It Is understood that on the same
day the United States, acting Inde
pendently, although possibly after
consultation with another power, in
formed the Japanese government thai
certain of the Japenese demands were
not in consonance with treaty agree
ments between China and the United
States.
American and British opinion
throughout China are in concord in
this matter, as voiced privately, semi
officially, and by the press. Meetings
have been held at which the Japanese
demands have been discussed and
protests have been sent to their re
spective governments by both Ameri
can and British associations.
The opinion is expressed by both
Chinese and foreign diplomats that a
substantial proportion of her de
mands will be withdrawn by Japan
bec^ise of the attitude of the powers,
who have called China’s attention to
the fact that she has no right to
make a treaty with Japan contra
vening existing treaties with them.
At various foretga diplomatic es
tablishments In Washington doubt
was expressed as to the correctness of
the report from Peking that tbe Rus
sian and British ambassadors at
Toklo had Informed the Japanese for
eign minister that If the excessive
Japanese demands on China were per
sisted in the Allies might fin 1 It dif
ficult to negotiate diplomatically with
Japan In the future.
Surprise was expressed at the Jap
anese embassy, and It was said with
reference to another portion of the
Peking dispatch, that it was not
known to the embassy that any rep
resentations bad been made by tbe
United States government to the Jap
anese government concerning the
Japanese proposals la China.
In another quarter It was said that
the Japanese demands on China had
been formulated In such a way as to
avoid any conflict between them and
tha understandings between Japan
and other powers with respect to
China.
"We hare the matter In mind." la
aa far aa Secretary Bryan has been
willing to go In answer to Inqulrl
as to what course thla government
would adopt In connection with the
Japanese demands on China.
It la admitted by state department
officials that since the beginning of
the negotiations between China and
Japan the United States government
has quietly been exerting Its in
fluence to have the Japanese demands
ameliorated and to prevent any In
fringement of the rights of Amerl
cans either under treaty of the provi
sions of general International law.
There representations have been
made In Washington to tbe Japanese
ambassador, as well as In Toklo and
Peking. Officials in Washington have
refrained from making public any of
the steps tbe United States has taken
In these negotiations. Regarding the
situation as deHcate, they preserved
the same attitude when the latest
news dispatches frem Peking were
shown to them.
In the best posted diplomatic quar
ters there was no confirmation of any
Joint Brltlsh-Russlan representations
at Toklo of the nature Indicated from
Peking. One dispatch from Toklo
received In Washington dealt with
other matters, and made no mention
of such representations.
Moreover, the assertion Is made
that strong influences are at work
both at Peking and Toklo to slif up
an animosity between Japan and her
allies, and there Is a disposition
among the diplomats of the allied
powers to attribute reports of joint
Anglo-Russian representations as
growing out of feeling adverse to the
allies.
It was also stated that there had
been no consultation between the
Anqerlcan and British governments
regarding the effect of the proposed
Japanese demands upon existing
treaty obligations.
In various public utterances the
Japanese minister for foreign affairs
and the premier are reported to have
disclaimed any purpose on the part of
the Japanese government to Infringe
upon the existing rights of other na
tions in making demands upon China
These were regarded as pertaining to
Thallers that were at Issue-b^ijveen
China and Japan only.
However, the disclosure of two
sets of demands as the result of the
State department’s Inquiries caused
the Uhited States to deal with thlSi
subject with extreme caution, and It
Is believed that Minister Relnsch. at
Peking, has been Instructed to watch
Closely and make sure that China
does not concede any point that would
affect anv of the rights which the
United States now enloys tn China
by reasons of existing treaties.
