WILL NOT ACCEPT
GERMAN PROPOSAL
Great Britain Is Not Expected to Per
nit Free Movement of Foodstuffs
to Germany.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IL Officials
Of the Washington government today
had unofficial advices from London in
dicating there was little likelihood
there that Great Britain would accept
the German proposal to withdraw the
threat of a submarine blockade against
England if the latter would permit the
free movement of foodstuffs to the
civil population of Germany.
Germany s proposal was laid before
the British foreign office yesterday by
Ambassador Page. But few hours
remain before the German sea war zone
proclamation is to go into effect.
In the meantime the administration
officials await formal replies Of Great
Britain and Germany to the recent ad-
ministration note regarding the use of
neutral 0ags, the submarine campaign
on merchant vessels and the shipment
Of foodstuffs to Germany.
While high officials admit the gravity
Of the situation they We're still hope
ful today that an understanding on the
question of foodstuffs would be reach
ed, whereby the necessity which Ger
many declares will result for making
war on the enemy 5 merchant ships
may be avoided.

thc stroke Of midnight the waters sur

the power OF Germany to make them,
~ war zone which ali vessels, neutral
or otherwise, will penetrate at their
peril.
Some of the services across the
channel probably win be curtailed but
. majority Of the neutral shipping lines
will accept the risk and continue their
sailngs. The names and nationality
and flags will be painted on their sides
in the hope that the German subma-
rines will not sink them by mistake
Fnglan4's S announcement of the de-
| tails Of her proposed retaliatorv policy
! by which she plans to shut off the Ger
man food supply from the outside is
! expected mCmcntarily and apparently
there is not the slightest prospect that
this country will accept the German
proposal to call off the blockade if
England wiz relax naval pressure on

IT is not expected that there viii be

C. r. CROSBY ON THE
PROHIBITORY BILL
Thinks Brattleboro Representative
Makes a Serious Mistake in Great
ing Issue Out Of Hobby
Editor Of The Reformer !:

Editor of The Reformer =
l do not mean to inhict my opinion on
the public through the press except when
think conditions are such that the
minority is not being heard or that the
majority lacks someone to express its
views, as seems to be the present condi
ton. / have reference to the so-caled
Perry bin, for state prohibition.
Being one of those connected with the
memorable Clement campaign, when the
old prohibition law was taken from the
statutes, and the local option law enacted
in its place, ] feel wen enough acquainted
with the conditions to advise the people
Of the state Of Vermont to 60 slow before
they change the present law, and particu-
larly to advise the Republican party, of
which / am an ardent member, that it is
essential for the good of the country that
the Republican party be placed back in
power two years from now.
Industries cannot be strangulated longer
and exist All the Republican party has
got to do is to appeal to the wage Garner;
the man who carries the dinner pail, for he
is sound reasoner, but we will certainly
jeOpardize the chance of returning to sound
economic laws by beginning an agitation
of the return to the state wide prohibi-
tion, or in other words u change in our
police regulations.
Is it possible that the Republican party
Of Brattleboro had something put over
them IN their last nomination for repre-
sentative
! 1t is rumored that the nominee in the
| past has given his support to the prohibi-
tion national and state tickets, with the
/ exception OF two Years ago when he was
rendered the Democratic nomination for
representative. Possibly this Is not so.
We do know, however, that he would not
have been nominated if the party supposed
he was going to make a hobby of Great
ing a prohibition issue when none existed.
A majority of our citizens. [ think, be
lieve III local option law To return to
the state wide prohibition is to return to
pocket pcddling, lying and qualification
Now | do not believe local sentiment is
truly represented at Montpelier and we
better have no representation than mis-
representation.
Our representative should be considered
a member of the prohibition party and ap
pointed to prohibition committee as rep
resenting that party and assigned a com
mittee room where he can dream over hi
pet scheme and not be disturbed by tn,
more important things, like constructive
legislation
In closing please remember that the ol,
guard still lives. our swords require YER
little polishing, our forces are easily organ
, lied and while our leaders are busy il
their various pursuits the old fightin
spirit is still there and to destroy tn
: present law means another split of tn
Republican party. ''Verbum sat sapienti.
