NO EXPECTATION THAT GERMAN
OFFER TO WITHDRAW BLOCKADE

London. Feb. Is. 1870 P. M.-Great
Britain received today through Walter
Hines Page, the American amoasSa-
dor. Germany's offer to withdraw her
threat of submarine blockade against
Great Britain If the British navy
would permit the free movement of
foodstuffs to the civil population OF
Germany. There is no expectation here
that the offer will be accepted. In fact,
Great Britain already is preparing TO
retaliate against Germany by placing
under more stringent control ships
destined TO German ports and a proc
lamation nlomentarily is expected de-
claring a blockade of the German
coast, or at any rate, the prohibition
Of foodstusfs destined for Germany.
The cabinet with its naval and mill
tary advisors considered this question
today and il is understood the decis-
ion is awaiting the formal confrma-
ton Of the privy council from which
all proclamations come. In the mean
time. British and neutral vessels are
moving as freely as usual with the
exception of those belonging 10 few
Dutch lines. which have reduced their
number of sailings. The Norwegian
and Danish insurance companies have
given instructions that steamers in

ed conspicuously on the sides OF all
vessels
Other Protests
Holland and italy. like the United
States, have protested TO Germany
against her sea war zone threat and
have asked Great Britain not to make
free use Of neutral flags. Similar rep
reservations are expected to be made

tons of diplomacy are arousing more
interest than the actual fighting. al
though military movements OF the
first importance are taking place, es-
pecially along the eastern line. The
German offensive, strongly supported
by fresh troops, is being pushed with
great vigor, both along the East Prus-
sian frontier and in Poland. north of
the lower Vistula. The Russians now
