Proposals Submitted
Both to Great Britain and
Germany Regarding Ship
mentS of FoodStuffS.
CABINET DISCUSSES

count of Blockade.


Washington. Feb 23.-Proposals
have been made informally by the
United States government both to
Great Britain and Germany suggest
ing a basis for an understanding on
the subject of foodstuffs for the
civilian population of belligerents
and submarine warfare against mer-
chant ships
These proposals have been guard
ed with the utmost secrecy and their
nature has not been revealed by Of
ticials who are reluctant to discuss
them because of the delicacy of the
negotiations.
simultaneously with the revela-
tions tonight that new move had
been made by the Washington gov
ernment came dispatches telling OF
the blowing up of a second American
vessel, the steamer Carib. near the
! German coast, an incident which in
creased the anxiety on the part of
officials of an easy understanding with
belligerents on pending questions.
Both Probably Accidents.
/ The wreck of the first vessel, the
( Evelyn, was viewed by President
/ Wilson as Il tragic accident due to the
possible failure of the captain to fol-
/ low the German admiralty's in
structions respecting the locations Of
| its mine fields. Officials were inclined
tonight to think the Carib disaster
was OF a similar nature, though they
had no official advices.
As for the proposals made to the
! belligerents. 1t is known that they
are of far-reaching importance. They
are in no sense replies to the notes
icf Germany and Great Britain,
though they relate to the same sub
ject. The belief most commonly held
here is that some form of supervision
over the distribution of foodstuffs to
the civilian population of Germany
either by American consular agents
or American organizations has been
proposed. 1t was recalled that such q
proposal was made by Germany, but
could not be put into effect without
the consent of all the belligerents.
Germany has offerde to abandon
her submarine warfare if assured
I that ships laden with fOodstuffs for
| Germany will not be interrupted by
Great Britain.
Cabinet Consultation.
President Wilson discussed with
his cabinet today the general situa-
tion produced by the declaration OF
II submarine war on merchant ves-
sells and ii was said later that the re-
plies from England and Germany TO
the informal representations would
have a considerable bearing on the
final course Of the American govern
ment Earlier In the day the presi-
dent indicated to callers that he had
not decided whether the notes re-
ceived from Germany and Great
Britain on the sea zenes and the use
of neutral flags required retolnders
las il was not Vet apparent whether
there was any necessity to re-state
the position of the United States so
emphatically expressed in the cor
irespondence with both belligerent
The general impression was that

chase any articles which she brought
