PAGE NOTIFIES WASHINGTON
Decision Due to Germany's Submarine
Blockade of Waters Surrounding the
British Isles.

Ambassador Page, at London, has
cabled the state department IN wash
ington that the British admlralLy
has suspended all travel between
England and the continent or Europe
until further notice.
The ambassadors message merely
told of the admirasy's decision, ana
gave no explanation Of the action py
the British authorities. The message
says nothing about British transports
or other vessels in the naval service.
Some state department officials IN.
terpreted the suspension of "traVei
as referring to passengers until there
could be some Encouragement or snip
schedules with protection of convoys'
but other officials thought II mlsn1
temporarily include all commercial IN.
tercourse across the English chaAhel.
The suspension by the British a +
miralty probably will affect the trans
Atlantic traffic considerably, ani the
order has raised the question whether
American vessels touching at Ensii5h
ports on the way to the contineff Tssga
receive clearance papeS from tie

dent Wilson's library, and the issue
between the United States and Ger.
many over the war zone declaration
was virtually the sole topic Of discus,
sion.
After the meeting 1t was said that
the situation was not regarded as be.
ing threatening, and that the admins.
tration had no fear an American ship
would be sunk. -------~..
The suggestion of Germany In the
latest note to the United States that
means be found to identify and safe.
guard American ships venturing into
the war zone was understood to have
been taken up.
1t was agreed, however, that the
American government has no author
ity to order ships to adopt such meas
ures as taken in Holland and in the
Scandinavian countries, which include
the painting OF the nationality of the
ship in large letters on each side.
The prevailing temper OF mind In
Washington is that this government
would face the possibility OF being
drawn into the European conflict IL a
ship were sunk.
Officials find little in the German
note to satisfy them. There will be
no receding from or modification OF
the position enunciated by the United
States in the note protesting against
the suggested menace to American
commerce in the operation5uRf srz
marines within the nrf>@efoed waT&
