dozens of prominent attorneys who
had practiced before Judge Seaman's

his family.
The services, which were brief,
were conducted by the Rev. David
Thomas, pastor of the church and a
personal friend of Judge Seaman.

Proclamation Is an AmpIification of
the Statement of Premier Asquith
Before Parliament on March III. S.
Proposals Are Rejected by England.

London, March 1.-THE British for
eign Office on Monday delivered to Am
bassador Page it's reply to the Amer
lean note proposing to Great Britain
and Germany the withdrawal of the
German submarine blockade provided
England would permit food to reach
German civilians. Great Britains re-
ply is an absolute refusal.
Great Britain on Monday struck her
promised blow against Germany. BY
issuing an order-in-counci she throt-
tied Germany's commerce in drastic
manner unprecedented in internation-
al law.
The decree practically declares a
blockade of the German North sea
coast without using the precise term.
This is contrary to all precedents,
which require the presence of blockad-
ing warships.
To complete the program OF starV-
ing out the kaiser the government laid
certain drastic restrictions on neutral
commerce. These are designed to
prevent Germany from exporting or
importing any commodities through
Holland or Scandinavian countries OIL
the Baltic sea, the waters of which
are controlled by the German navy.
The blockade is effective at once.
