signed to civilians, not contraband. Since
that date, however, Germany has conhscated
all food supplies within the Empire and Great
Britain as result has announced that she will con-
slider all food supplies destined for German ports
as intended for the German government and
hence contraband Should the prize court free the
Wllhelmnas cargo, the verdict will that
foodstuffs neutral vessels may proceed freely to
German ports and, if Germany sincere in the
proposal submitted to the State Department yes
terday, the situation between this government and
the kaiser's government would eventually be
easily disposed Of On the other hand, should the
Prize court sustain breat contention tnat
food supplies may be treated as contraband by
reason OF the German governments action in con-
hscatng them the tension, unless relieved by
other means, would become all the greater.
Neutral ships will be in peril in the zone
beginning the day after tomorrow, according to the
warning Germany sent to Negotiations be-
tween the United States and Germany must, OF
course, proceed without regard to the prize court
1t is no part OF Great Britain's duty
to assist in adjusting that dispute As the case
now stands it rests with Germany, without regard
to any related circumstances, to heed or disregard
our warning that American lives and American
ships must not be impericd by Germany's war
operations. On that point this government will
no doubt insist upon assurances without delay.
1t does not concern Great Britain the question
Of contraband. Our demand is not to be bccloudcd
by other issues 1t has not been affected by the
German Ambassadors proposal OF yesterday.
