US. ASKS WHO PUT
MINES IN NORTH SEA
Wants Britain to Say Whether
They Are Hers or Germany's
Before Protesting.
URGED ON BY NEUTRALS

WASHINGTON. Nov. 13.--Thc State De-
partmont. through Ambassador Page, Is
endeavoring TO ascertain tho exact sit
uation in regard to tho mining OF the
North Sea, which has resulted, practl-
cally, IN closing that body of water to
neutral trade.
Until a more definite understanding or
tho facts is secured the United States
Government does not feel in position TO
act on the suggestion made by other
neutral Governments, notably Holland,
Denmark, Sweden and Norway. that n
protest be made to the British Govern
ment.
The difficulty lies In the fact that the
information which has so far reached the
State Department does not make II clear
whether the mines in the North Sea are
German or British mines. The only an
nouncements on the subject have come
from Great Britain and these have. In
some cases. declared that the Germans
were responsible for the mine menace and
In other cases have not indicated whether
or not British mines were also being laid
in these waters.
Consequently the United States Govern
ment Is at loss TO select the ono TO
which protest should be made. II Is
thought possible that when this informa-
tion is obtained In London, representa-
tons may be made 20 secure the opening
Of these waters to neutral shipping. Tho
neutral countries on the North Sea are
said to be DESTROYS that the United States
take some such action, as their trade is
greatly hampered

VIII Await Proof of south Amer
lean Neutrality Violations.

WAsHiNGToN. Nov, 13.--The personal
attention OF Secretary Bryan was d.
rccted to-day TO the action of the British
and French Governments IN suggesting
that tho United States use its friendly
influence with the Colombian and Ecua-
dorian Governments with view 10 bring
ing about a more rigorous Endorsement
OF the neutrality OF those countries. Hav-
ing so recently returned to Washington
from u prolonged absence. Mr.. Bryan was
not aware until to-day OF Just what had
taken place In this matter
1t became known that Secretary Bryan
shares the view OF other officials that in
the present status OF the case as presented
by France and Great Britain II is not
necessary or advisable that the United
, States take any steps in tho matter at
this time.
Unless the British and French Govern
ments persist In their request and sup
port II with conclusive evidence in sup
port Of their charges this Government will
take the stand that the situation requires
no discussion OF tho subject with the
South American Governments.
