NEUTRAL ships
SAFE ONLY OUT
OF WAR ZONE
Germany ReiterateS Warn
ing to United States in
Note Delivered Today
UP TO ENGLAND TO
BRING MODIFICATION
Ia The IInited Press.

4 lit 4nANNU = AAD'f
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15-In a note
presented to the State Department to-
day by Ambassador Won Bernstorff,
Germany reiterated her request that
neutral shipping avoid the German
war zone and take instead the sea
track around Northern Scotland. The
war zone decree was frankly called
measure of retaliation against
England
The note declared Germany has in
formation that English merchantmen
are being armed, preparatory to go
ing out in groups in an effort to sink
German submarines by bombs and
other weapons.
Under such circumstances, Ger
many contended, TO stop and search
vessel would be out of the ques-
ton, the only recourse being to fight
Ii was added that English ships are
planning also TO use neutral flags in
their dashes across the forbidden
area.
Because of these two facts. it was
held, neutral vessels manifestly will
be endangered in the war zone, and
Germanys previous request for di-
verting shipping northward was re-
peated
The note made it plain that Ger
many will modify its war zone decree
when England is ready to recognize
existing international laws, which it
was argued, that nation is now g-
noring.
The foreign Office admitted that the
zone order is strictly retaliatory, but
suggested again that it will be re-
laxed if England abandons her plan
TO starve out Germanys civil popula-
/ tion.
Ambassador Won Bernstorff sug-
gested again that the United States en-
deavor to have England modify her
position concerning Germany bound
food shipments
After Won Bernstorff's visit, State
Department officials said their course
was still undecided They indicated
however, their anxiety to do all posi-
BILE to protect American commerc'
and lives.
TO this end, it was believed, the de
partment would use its good office
with England to induce relaxation 0
her plan to starve Germany
The Won Bernstorff note was not il
any sense reply to the administra
tions recent warning concerning thu
war zone order, but was interpreted
as foreshadowing what the answer
will be.
