Following the same principles, it is
expected that this government will
point out to Great Britain and France
that international law prescriDes Ger

the establishment of blockade Of an
enemy country, and that the proposed
long distance enforcement of d block

authority Of law in any international
code The administration. IN other
words, will call the attention OF the
two governments 10 the fact that il is
10 fault Of the neutral powers that the
rules Of the international code have
not been modified to meet the changed
conditions of present day warfare.
In so far as the effect Of the Anglo
French Joint note on American com
merce is concerned, the administration
has as yet expressed no opinion. Trade
with Germany has fallen of material
ly, of course, since the beginning of the
war The direct loss through d rigid
enforcement of the long distance block
ade which the Allies (it cannot be 900
frequently insisted upon studiously
avoid calling d blockade would be
inconsiderable except as It affects the
shipments OF cotton from the OnlteQ
States. In the matter of American I'M
ports from Germany. the United States
will be most seriously embarrassed by
the cutting Off Of the supply of dye
stufs. The actual diminu,lon %
American trade with Germany is there
fore inconsiderable, although the prin-
ciple involved is one of dominant i'm
portance.
The ministers OF the Netherlands,
Sweden and Denmark were callers at
the State Department to-day. All Of
them conferred with Counsellor Lans-
ing. and explained after their calls that
they had come principally to make in
Quiries as TO the intentions Of the
United States. Chevalier Van Rappard,
the Dutch Minister, expressed the opin-
ion that there would be a concordance
OF expressions In the note which the
neutrals will send to London and Paris
as the result OF the joint note.
On the whole question of the joint
note the State Department preserved
silence to-day. Secretary Of State
Bryan insisted that all he could an
nounce was that the entire question
was now under consideration. The Cab
met discussed the international ques-
tion at length and decided that the pol
icy which the United States had adopt
ed since these various questions became
critical should not be changed in any
respect, that is. that the United States
will continue 10 recognize the accepted

part of belligerents or neutihIs
established on the principles OF inter
national law. The American govern
ment would rather regard such an
agreement as "A modus vivendi which Is
hoscd more on suitableness than on
legal right.
The German reply to the note Of the
United States was dispatched last Sun
day. It begins as follows:
1.-THE German government has taken
note Of the American suggestion with
liyelv interest, and sees therein new
proof Of friendly feelings, which are
fully recipTocated by Germany. The
suggestion corresponds also to the Ger
man wishes that the naval war shoul d
be waged according TO rules which,
without subjecting one or the other
belligerent power to one-sided restrlc
tions Of methods OF warfare, would
take into consideration the interests
Of ncutrals as well as the laws OF hu-
manity.
"Ia this sense the German note OF
February 16 already has pointed out
that the observance Of the London
Declaration by Germany's enemies
would create new situation. from
which Germany would gladly be pre-
pared to draw conclusions.
Starting from this conception. the
German government has submitted the
American suggestion TO attentive oX-
animation. and believes that 1t can
recognize therein an effectively SUIT.
able basis for a practical solution OF
the question at issue
On particular suggestions contained
in the American note the following re
marks are made:
Germany would be prepared to MAKE
the suggested declaration concerning
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of drifting mines
and the construction Of anchored
mines. and further agrees with the
suggestion to attach government
uark TO any mines which may be lad.
On the other hand. it appears to Ger
many not 70 be practicable for the bel
lirerent powers fully to renounce the
emnloyment OF anchored mines for CT
fensive purposes.
"Second Submarines would employ
force against mercantile vessels or
whatsoever flag only in so ,ar as 1t IS
required for the purpose OF carrying
ont the right TO hold up and eearch.
II The hostile nationality Of a ship or
the rresence OF contraband were
