Washington, December 5.--The German
government has lodged protest with the
state department against the action OF the
president In imposing tonnage on German
ships entering American ports. The re-
ceipt of this protest will be duly acknowl-
edged. but there the matter is likely To
rest until the German government takes
steps to remove charges on American
shipping which formed the basis for the
presidents proclamation issued yesterday.
The contention of the German government
is that II does not take American shipping
and that the imperial government can not
be held accountable for the imposition Of
local charges by provisional and municipal
officials The contention of our govern
ment, on the other hand, Is that, regardless
of the question OF who is responsible for
the levying OF the port dues, this collection
from American vessels is the only fact
necessary to be established to put IN opera
ton at once the DlnGley law imposing tom
mage duties ON German vessels. That the
law is self operative and only the president
is satisfied that port charges OF any char
acter are imposed on American ships by
foreign government, he must proclaim
that fact. thus setting the law In force
