M' mils its cun MG NOTE OF WARNINi IS SENT GREAT BRITAIN COUNCIL ORDERS RigfaU of Americans to be' Based Upon Recognized Rules of Inter- ' ' ' '' • . , < ■ /' . . “ ational Law—British Changes .and Their Legality Comes up for Jus- tiflcation. ... » ■ The . state department Saturday gave out a summary of a note it has sent to England, informing that gov ent that it will uphold the right American trade. The note is a firm, flat denial of England’s assumed right to Interfere with American commerce to an ex tent not countenanced by the recog nized rules of international law. It is a vigorous statement that this gov ernment can not permit its commerce to be treated according to the auto cratic regulations of British order in council and various municipal de- The effect of the note is to shift the shadow o{ a real international crisis from td^ aAirs of the United Ogri Unit agaii y or- SUUJ< Blnal Seen mebV Bern y of 'Uj'pr ir re- tab« tween the United States and Great Britain. It is evident that Germany has won the first ground of her de mand that as ‘‘the freedom of the seas” underlies the questions at issue between the United States and Ger many, this government must take up that subject with Great Britain. Furthermore, it is indirect media- ,ion between Germany and England, d, finally, it demonstrates the real ion by the administration that it o longer maintain an attitude ressive diplomacy against Ger- and continue to let the case st England slumber. The summary of the ote is as fol lows: “In view of differences which are understood to exist between the two governments as to the principle of law applicable in prize court pro ceedings in cases involving Ameri can shipping, to avoid any misunder standing as .to the attitude of the United States in regard to such pro cess the government of the United States informs the British govern ment that insofar as the interests of American citizens are concerned, it will insist upon their rights under the K ‘ triples and rules of international as hlfheyto established, govern ing neutral trade In time of wgr with out limitation or impairment or ders in council or other muntc legislation by the British governme) and will not recognize validity prise court passages taken under re straints imposed by British municipal law in derogation of the rights of American citizens under International law.’* * *. _ The note means: First, that I xml Crewe stated an indefensible iNMdtion when he told the United Ktitew tha£ the British ’ government would not consider cases of seizures and detentions In prize courts as “diplomatic ques tions." Second, that the United States asserts that Great Britain had no international right “to Interfere with the approach of American merchantmen to neutral ports sit uated upon the line 6? <x>SsU af fected by the order in council, when such ships do not carry con J traband or goods destined to or proceeding from ports within the belligerent territory." Third, that the manner of seiz ures an ddetentiou is laid down by international law, and that law can no more be changed by the exigen cies of Great Britain's blockade than by the present impossibility of Germany using any other craft than a submarine to exercise the v right of visit and search. Fourth, the United States does not challenge the effectiveness of the British blockade of actual ports of Germany, but it does challenge the extension of that blockade to cover th? ports of Denmark, Swed en, Holland and Norway. Fifth, that Interference with American and neutral vessels en route from American ports to other neutral ports Is a contradiction of the principle of free seas for free ships. Sixth, that the asseration by Great Britain of the principle of holding up all vtssels and rejecting xliplomatic intervention is as illegal as the establishment by Germany of a submarine blockade. Seventh, that the principle and practice of retaliation between tiermany and Great Britain can not defeat any of the rights of neu tral commerce as defined.and en joyed before the commencement of the present war. Officials are now concerned In spec- ncation as to what the reply of Great Britain will be and what the United States must do In certain emergen cies to be created by that reply If Great Britain stands firm, the United States has two remedies. One Is to take up particular cases and as- aert that there has been denial^of Justice.” That Is oife of the forms of pursuing a case further when a country thinks an injustice has been done by foreign courts. The asser tion that there has been a denial of justice is a diplomatic action which can result In the gravfest kind of a situation. Thu> other recourse of the United ■States Is to treat Great Britain, if she concedes nothing, as a nation which will not be bound by International law. It has been frequently stated, •under color of local diplomatic sanc tion, that if Germany would not yield to the United State* this country might break, off diplomatic negotia tions. It in known that Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British ambas sador, has reported to his govern ment the state of public sentiment la the United States, and has suggested that It moderate Its policy regarding the treatment of American trade. The aihbassador left the method and ex tent of the moderation to his home government. In all quarters It Is admitted that the note will relieve the tension be tween this government and Germany, for the parrent reason that it com piles very closely withj-Germany’s main contention. Germany held that the Issues be tween this government and Germany were so Interwoven with those be tween the United States and Great Britain that they must be taken up together. The Unlsted States has not conceded this, but, accepting as true the German ambassador’s frequent arguments that Germany will make no further concessions to this coun- s try unless Great Britain relaxes the -rfseverlty of its blockade, It has derid ed to take up the subject with Great Britain Independently. The effect, however, will be the same in the end. If the United States succeeds In forcing Great Britain to conduct Its blockade according to In ternational law. It has the assurances of Germany that it, too, will observe the rules of international law in its submarine warfare. There is no division among Ameri can diplomats as to the unassallabili- ty of the propositions of the note to Great Britain. Mr. Lansing roes not Inveigh against the right of visit and search, should Great |]ritain choose to exercise it legally. The position of the state depart ment isAhsrt vessels should be visited and searched ‘‘if necessary,” but ex peditiously, and released, or that the cause of detention must be taken up and adjusted with equal expedition "by diplomacy.” This position of the state depart ment Is flatly contradicted by Lord < Yewe, and presumably will be by Sir Edward Grey in the answer to the note to Great Britain.

In th* enforcement of the order, England sought to stop cotton Mr. Lansing has told Great Britain that her order in council, as it affect* and has affected American commerce, is wrong in principle and In feet, and can not be sustained under interna tional law. The department, there fore. substantially demands that Great Britain return to the approved customs of visit and search as the United States understands the law, and as it existed before the promul gation of the order In council. No one expects thin government to recede from its origin*! position on the destruction of the Lustteni* as an act wholly without warrant in law or Jnstiflcation from the humane point of view. The manner in which the United States' position will be restated, however, in view of the rep resentations and conversations on the subject at the department between Secretary Lansing and Ambassador Bernstorff is sUll problematic. The preeslon is that the president must into favorable consideration the oral ateurances made by the ambassa dor, which are understood to have materially changed the situation. In is soilk to go foriyard, the United Statesrwill not onlyXreiterate its con tention that Great Britain has no right to blockade the Scandinavian coasts, but will emphasize the view that the blockade as it is being car ried ’out under the qrder In council, Is discriminatory. In setting Up this contention the United States will pomt oat that wslle the North Sea coasts %f Germany and Scandinavia are) blockaded, and American trade with Norway, Swed en, Denmark, ajh. Holland Is cut off, the Baltic coaanof Germany Is free for trade with^Dris of Norway and Sweden. The American government will point out that' England has sent no warships into the Baltic to prevent this traffic, and that as a result a large trade has been In progress be tween Sweden and Germany. The United States will insist that this is discriminatory and ttiat it has a full right under international law to trade with these neutral coiintries without restraint. While the recent short communica tion to the British government, which is given in another column headed ‘States Its Claim," came as a result of representations made by the Chi cago packers, the warning was not limited in its scope or application to the packers' cases, but was Intended to be broad enough to cover every American interest or right under in ternational law as affevted by the nta ttner of the enforcement of the British order in council as a result of which American commerce of a legit imate character has been harassed, burdened and stifled by the action of the BrfltiSta government in seising detaining, requisitioning, and confis cating American cargoes. High official! of the state depart ment explained that it was not neces sary. In order to maintain American rights, to notify tfteat Britain of this term March 2 and destined for Germany. This would have upset exlstlag| contracts made on t»te baste of _ , land’s previous assurances that cot ton would have the freedom of the| England then, by Informal ar rangement, which the United States! government never officially recogniz-1 ad, agreed to permit cotton that had sold before March 1 to go forward until April 1, with the .understanding RUSSIANS SINK SUBMARINE Report From Ixmdon Hays Famous U-Bt Was Destroyed.' London Friday ^reported that the German submarine U;51 has been sunk in the Black Sea by Russian warships, according to information received from Varna, a Bulgarian port on the Black Sea by the Athens correspondent of the Exchange Tele graph company. The U-61 gained f .me by eluding the British blockade and passing through Gibraltar on Us way from Wilhelmshaven. the great German base, to operate against the allied fleet in the Dardanelles. It has been xredited with sinking several vessels belonging to the allies, including the British battleship Majestic. Later the submersible passed through the Sea of Marmora and re ported to the German commander at Constantinople. If the report of ijer destruction in the Black Sea is true she evidently was returning from the Turkish cape through the Bosporus, probably to operate against the Rus sian Black Sea fleet. -AmerK zsA^or- t>n pbo- WILL OFFER AMNESTY government's determinatlun to insist upon neutral commerriHrlghts under the principles of International law but that. In view of diffetencee that have arisen between the two- govern ments over the application of law, it was deemed wt!e to servA^aq other warning on Great Britain^tw avoid misunderstandings It was said that the warning also carried the purpose of notifying the British government that theMJnited States was “not asleep at the swftqb,' to quote the phrase of a high offjc in its determination to ptotetf ran commercial rights, but wlu oughly awake to the situation duced in cumulative effect by tbe dis regard of American rights in British* treatment of cotton, meats, tobacco and other export products as well as by the refusal of the British govern ment to permit between fifty million doltars and one hundred million dol lars worth of American-owned goods that were contracted for and manu factured In Germany to be shipped through the neutral port of Rotter dam to the United States The attitude of the Unites! States toward British interferences with commerce has been absolutely con sistent since the beginning of the war and is Identical with Its position to ward the German policy of submarine warfare. In the controversy with Germany and Great Britain, the Unit ed plates has discarded the Declare lion of London and municipal legisla tion by both belligerent governments and has planted itself upon principles of international law. In the controversy with Germany it has been insisted that Germany has no right to destroy life by indiscrimi merchantmen - and sovereignty suffers no dlmlsnation la time of war, except Insofar as the practice and consent of civilised nn- tions has limited It by the recount-} not be treated as contraband, tion of certain clearly deteymlnod rights, which It. Is conceded may be exercised by nations at war. This concession of universally recognized rights is what constitutes Interna tional law. ' What the United Staes hat conced ed to be within the rights of the British government, as a bolligerent, are: First—That belligerents have the right of visit and start*. Second—That belligerent* have - the right of capture and condemna tion if, upon examination, n neu tral vessel is found to be engaged in unneutral service or to be carry ing contraband of war intended for the enemy’s government or armed forces. Third—The right to establish and maintain a blockade of an enemy’s ports and coasts. Fourth—That belligerents have a right to capture and condemn any vessel taken In trying to tweak the blockade. Fifth—It even concedes that a belligerent has the right to detain and take into his own ports for judicial examination all vessels which he suspects, for “substan tial” reasons, to be engaged In un neutral or contraband service and to condemn them if the suspicion is sustained. These rights, long clearly defined by doctrine and practice, are hold by the American government to be the only permissible excepticns to the principle of universal equality of sov ereignty on the high seas as between belligerents and nations not engaged in war. This is all that the Ameri can government has conceded either to England or Germany. The United States concedes the right of Great Britain to maintain blockade of the ports and roasts of (iermany, bat holds that it must be effective to be binding. The British order in council policy has gone far beyond this right, the United States continues. In effect the British gov ernment, it la pointed out. is seeking \o blockade, not only the ports and coasts of Germany, but aloo the ports and coasts of Holland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden. The United States is challenging the right of England to interpose any blockade between this country and Holland, Horway, Denmark and Hwed- en, because there is nothing Interna tional law that perilllts the blockad ing of the coast of a neutral. The attempt of a belligerent to Institute a blockade of a neutral coast, it is ad mitted, w ould be regarded as a caaus belli. Not only does this government challenge Great Britain’s claim to the right to virtually blockade neutral roasts, but It will also insist in the forthcoming general note to Greet Britain that the so-called blockade of the German coast has not iw&w.

AMERICAN PACKERS INVOLVED British Court Proceedings Has Testi mony of Their Guilt. In London Friday the English gov ernment produced correspondence be tween the ArchA Company, of Ham burg, and tbe Cudahy Packing Com pany, of America, in the prize court proceedings to show that American packers connived with the Germans to ship goods to Germany by appar ently consigning them to neutral countries.

Seeratary of the Navy Dan iels has announced his intention to visit the inventor at Went Orange, H. }.. to Aieenee naval amirs. nate attack upon it has been demanded that the rule of visit and search be applied. In the controversy with England equally definite rules and principles of inter national law are being inslsten upon Bat just as the Germans, through the promulgation of the order insti tuting submarine attacks on unarmed merchantmen, which brought on the Lusitania issue, so the British gov eminent has sought by orders In council, prize court proceedings, and other municipal legislation, to restrict recognized international law rights to which American commerie is entitled. The German war zone decree and the British order in council and the manner of their enforcement are re garded by the United States as practical “assertion of unlimited bel ligerent rights over neutral commerce within the whole European war area and an almost unqualified denial of the sovereign rights of the nations now at peast. The United States denies emphatically any of the groups of belligerents possesses any “un limited” righto over neutral com merce or citizens at sea. On the contrary it Is the contention of the American government that these belligerents possess only limit ed rights over the trade or citizens of neutrals on the high seas, and that these rights are limited only to the prevention, if possible, of contraband trade with either enemy, and the prevention of hostile acts. Even then the United States insists, the agents of the belligerents mult observe rules that are in accordance with well-rec- ognized principles of law so as to Ifffld derogation of neutral rights.

Bat since April 1 cotton has not been permitted to go to Germany, efen if shipped through neutral ports. One shipment of cotton involved in a bona fide sale to Roast*, was stopped at Kirkwall and detained nearly a month before it was allowed to pro ceed, although ample assurances w given that it was going to Russia and would not be transshiped to Germany. While such temporary arrange ments have been made by shippers, the American government has never officially recognized them because It could not do so without recognizing the order in council, and the state department has so shaped Its course as not to commit such a mistake In derogation of American rights. The meat situation and that of American goods contracted for .in Germany are Just as serious as the cotton problem, and in each of these situations the United States govern ment insisting upon the supremacy of (to legal righto over mere munici pal regulations of a retaliatory char acter as between the allies and the Germans. , evt been niahitaineil with equal regard to all neutrals: that it lias been dis criminatory In effect, if not in pur apd that It has not been an ef fective blockade for the reason that only the North He* coast of Germany lias been affected, while Uie Baltic Sea coast of liermany has been un- hlockaded and free for commerce with Norwegian and Hwedlsh ports.

Besides pointing out in the next note to Great Britain this Inequality of the British blockade, so far as shipments by neutrals to German tic Sea ports are concerned, the American government will insist that American shippers have an undoubt ed right to ship goods from this coun try to Holland, NUorway, Sweden, and Denmark, and to receive goods in return. The British policy has resulted In paralysis for the American cotton and meat trades with those countries, and Americans have not been able to ship cotton to Germany or Austria or bring goods out of Germany since March 1, except to the limited extent permitted by the informr.l arrange ments made between American ship pers and the British government. There is a legal way under inter national law by which Great Britain might bar American cotton from go ing to Germany. That would be by declaring cotton to be absolute con traband. But the British govern ment has been endeavoring to accom plish the result without resorting to that measure. „ The British government fully real izes that if It establishes the prece dent of treating cotton as absolute contraband It would not only be of fending the great cotton Interests of the South and displeasing tho United States government, but the precedent thus established might become a booinerong during a subsequent war, wen conditions might be changed and some other belligerent might turn the tebles on the British by treating cot ton ns contraband and preventing Its shipment te Hnglanffi - — Should Great Britain now put cot ton on Its contraband list it would be poestble for Germany tn some futon war to ysnpond la like manner, and teas keep cotton out of British pdrtM. troops took by storm tea enemy po-| ■ttlons In the bills extending over a width of three kilometres and a depth of one kilometre.
