London, Feb. 19.-The reply of Sir
Edward Grey to the United States
shipping protest is given hearty ap-
proval In an editorial In the Times,
which says:
1T is powerful defense of the Brit

ments of law and fact which appeal

minds as to our own. 1t comes op-
portunely on a day when Germany
boasts her intention to trample all
laws and customs of the sea under
her feet"
The reply, the Post welcomes as
proving that Sir Edward has come to
a realization that war cannot be pros
ecuted successfully by indulging In
ideals.
Let Germany do her worst" says
the Post "She has done the allies
cause excellent service because her
threats have destroyed the declara-
tions of London and Paris and per-
suaded our government to eercise the
full pressure of our sea power as II

SALE William c. Sickel, one of the
two American vice directors OF the
corporation told the senate inyesti-
eating committee.
Advices from headquarters in Ham
burg, he said showed it was able to
stand the losses of the war for five
years and that he and his assistants
had positive instructions to make no
sacrifice because of financial condi-
tions in Germany Sickel testified he
had no reason To believe any of
hundred or more persons who had
inquired If the company wanted to
sell ships since the outbreak of the
war, either directly or indirectly rep
scented the United States. All no
time, he said, had any Hamburg
American ships been offered for sale.
Under Senator Burton's questions
Siekel testified he sought a loan of
50. 500, 900 through Kuhn. Loeb & Co
and other bankers soon after the out
break Of the war, but was refused.
The only loan actually made since the
war, he said, was one of 100000
from a private individual whose name
he gave in confidence.
Never Solicited Sale of Ships.
Sickel said Secretaries McAdoo and
Garrison had consulted his associates
about ships to bring Americans home
from the war zone.
I'VE never solicited the sale of our
ships at that time The government
sent for u.s." said he.
In November Bernard n. Baker of
Baltimore asked him to meet Secre-
tary McAdoo.
Il wired him., said Sickel, that
if ! was to see Secretary McAdoo on
the question of the sale of the ships
! preferred not to meet the gentle
man. Our financial independence
was such as to place us in position
where we had only very few ships
of small value for sale.
"Mr. Baker replied McAdoo wished
to see me only on the general ocean
freight rate situation and | did not
meet him"
You made no efforts to sell any
boats to the government, and the
government made no effort to buy
any boats from you?" asked Senator
Reed

Berlin, Feb. 19.-The reply of Ger
many TO the protest of the United
States against a blockade of British
waters is couched in the most friend
ly terms, but firmly maintains the po-
sition of Germany as already an
nounced. The answer, which is a
lengthy document, was converted in
to code at the United States embassy
under the direction of Ambassador
Gerard and has been transmitted in
full to Washington.
The note explains that Germany's
proposed action is rendered necessary
by Great Britains policy of attempt

German civil population by a method
never recognized in International law.

the right to attack English shipping.
Germany holds that she cannot

which England has forced upon her.

Since Germany must compel the
nations with which she is at war to
return to the recognized principles
of international law and restore the
freedom of the seas she argues that
the stand she has taken is necessary.
