Rights of neutral shippers. as re-
CARDS the seizure Of vessels and the
confiscation of cargoes by belligerents,
are set forth by Cone Johnson, solicitor
of the State Department, in conjunc-
tion with the announcement of Ger
manys proclamation as to contra
bands of war.
Germanys list of absolute contra
bands tallies with the list announced
several days ago in the British declara-
tion.
Germany serves notice that she will
apply the provisions of the declaration
of London as regards both absolute
and conditional contrabands, provided
the other belligerents do not violate
these provisions.
In making public the lists Solicitor

upon the most accepted and generally

visory only, the department being un-
able to forecast the precise course or
position of the belligerents in particu-
lar instances"

ing Americans would not be molested.

endeavor to neutralize any vessel bear
ing refugee Americans, and 1t Is known
