PLAN TO AVOID
. SEARCH OF ships
ON HIGH SEAS

Washington. Dec. f5.--5ir Cecil
SPRING Rice. the British ambass1dcr
advised the state department today
that his government was willing to
forego the exercise of the right of
search of vessels carving cargo from
American ports IL the shipmas.ers
would confer with the British consuls
at the ports of departure and salts
fy them as to the neutral charactcc Of
their cargoes.
Unless this is done. cargo ships will
be subject to the ordinary rules Of
warfare. and may be searched on the
high seas II taken to the nearest Brit
ish port for that purpose IL It Is i'm
practicable to ret at the whole cargo
otherwise. Owing to the large III
mansions and variegated eargocs OF
modern ships. the ambassador point
ed out. 1t had been found impractica-
Bile in many cases to eonduc. searches
at sea, consequently many merchant
vessels are diverted far on. Of their

banks Take Many Millions.

Public bodies also came forward
readily. The city of Vienna has in
vested five million dollars and all
through Austria and Hungary the To-
cal authorities seem to have put up
all their available fluid assets. The
banks too have taken many millions
more, one Vienna bank alone investing
four millions. But all this has only
been brought about by bringing an
enormous amount Of pressure to bear
in all directions.
II Is said that the government COM
PEELED the banks 10 use their influ-
ence TO get money from large deposit
tors. When any of these objected on
the score of requiring the money to
carry on business. the bank told them
they could always have an advance on
the security Of the war loan stock. II
is openly stated that the subscription
Of the city of Vienna will come chief
ly from the depositors in the munich
pal savings banks.
Tho postoffice savings bank, too,
has been doing its utmost to get at
the deposits, offering special facili-
ties for investments I'm the new loans
of sums as low as a fraction under
five dollars. Many thousand business
men have special checking accounts
with the postofflce bank and each of
them Is required to deposit hundred
crowns-twenty dollars--as caution
money The bank has given notice
that these moneys. aggregating two
four hundred thousand dol
lars, will be taken for the war loan
unless notice OF objection is received
from the depositing owner Objections
are not expected.

The ambassador and Secretary Bry-
an discussed this subject at length.
There Is no authority to require an
American ship captain to apply to a
foreign consul in this country for
permission to take away cargo, but
on the other hand the state depart
ment. recognizing that the British gov
eminent is entirely within its rights
in exercising the right OF search, has
listened favorably TO the suggestion
that costly and vexatious interference
with commerce might be greatly re-
|duced by the adoption Of the arrange
ment proposed. After the ambassa-
doris conference to Cone Johnson, the
he was referred to Con Johnson, the
solicitor of the state department, to
discuss some Of the details Of the
plan.
