Washington, Feb. 16.-Two days re-

proposes to carry into effect its proc
lamation ordering a submarine cam

developments in the diplomatic situa-
ton moved drapidly Monday through
the medium Of the United States gov
ernment, custodian Of the diplomatic
interests Of the various belligerents.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, delivered a note to the
United States which was promptly
transmitted to Great Britain, in which
Germany offered to recede from her
plan Of destroying enemy merchant
ships If restrictions placed by the al
lies on shipments Of conditional con-
traband and foodstuffs destined to the
civilian population of Germany were
removed.
Otherwise, the note announced, Ger
many proposes to put into effect the
original proclamation, adding also the
strewing Of mines in waters surround
ing Great Britain and Ireland.
Alleged arming of British merchant
vessels is given by the German gov
ernment as ground for attacking en-
emy merchant ships without search or
previous visit, regarding merchant
craft hereafter as in the category of
warships.
The ambassadors communication
was sent from Berlin before the re-
cent American note was delivered by
Ambassador Gerard and is supple
mental to the German foreign office
memorandum on the subject of the
new war zones.
While the German ambassador con-
ferred with Secretary Bryan and
Counselor Lansing, the complete text
of the British reply to the American
note Of protest on neutral shipping,
dated Dec. 26, was received. 1t was
laid before President Wilson.
Besides giving statistics on neutral
commerce and entering a general de-
nial that there had been any unwar-
ranted interference with legitimate
shipments, the new note contains a
statement from Great Britain that the
recent government decree taking over
flour and grain supply in Germany re-
quired added precautions on the part
Of the allies that conditional contra.
band might not be permitted to reach
the armed forces of the enemy.
The document constitutes further
statement of the British government
on the legal questions involved. The
full text will not be given out until
after an agreement for publication is
reached with the British foreign Of
