ENVOY REPLIES TO NOTE
Won Bernstorff Answers Protest OF
United States to War Zone Decla-
ration Of Germany-lmpossible
to Identify Ships.

Washington, Feb. 16.-The text OF
the German ambassadors note, in re-
ply to the protest of the United States
to the war zone" declaration of Ger
many, follows;
According to absolutely reliable in
formation British merchant ships in
tend to oppose armed resistance to
German men-of-war in the area de-
clared as war zones by the German
admiralty.
Some of these ships were already
armed with British naval guns. Now
all the others are speedily being
equipped in a similar way. Merchant
ships have been instructed to sail in
groups and to ram German subma.
rines while the examination is pro-
ceeding, or should the submarines lay
alongside to throw bombs UPON them
or else TO attempt to overpower the
examining party coming on board.
To Attack Without Warning.
"a very high premium has been of
fered for the destruction OF the first
German submarine by British mer-
chant vessel Therefore, British mer-
chant ships cannot any more be con-
sidered as undefended, so that they
may be attacked by German war YES
sells without warning or search. The
British admitted tic. instructions
have been given u misuse neutral
flags. 1t is almost certain that British
merchant vessels will by all means try
to conceal their identity.
Unable to Identify Ships.
Thereby it has also become almost
impossible to ascertain the identity of
neutral ships, unless they sail in day
light under convoy, as all measures
suggested by neutrals-for instance,
painting oe the ships in the national
colors-may be promptly initiated by
British ships. The attacks to be ex-
pected By masked British merchant
vessels make a search impossible, as
the examining party and the subma-
rines themselves would thereby be ex-
posed to destruction.
Neutral Shipping in Danger.
Under these circumstances the
safety of neutral shipping in the war
zone around the British Isles is seri-
ously threatened. There Is also an in
creased danger resulting from mines,
as these will be laid in the war zone to
great extent Accordingly, neutral
ships are most urgently warned
against entering that area, while the
course around Scotland will be safe.
Germany has been compelled to re-
sort to this kind Of warfare by the
murderous ways of British naval war
fare, which aims at the destruction of
legitimate neutral trade and at starva.
ton of the German people Germany
will be obliged to adhere to these an
nounced principles till England sub
mits to the recognized rules Of war
fare, established by the declarations
of Paris and London, or till she is COM
PEELED to do so by the neutral powers"

dor Walter Hines Page at London.
With the new note was submitted
evidence furnished the state depart

London, Feb. len a statement to
the house of commons Winston Spen-
Ger Churchill first lord of the admir-
atty, intimated that further action
would be taken by the allies to pre-
vent the importation of foodstuffs in
neutral ships to Germany
Mr.. Churchill, in introducing the
navy estimates, said that efficiency
was the keynote Of the admiralty's
program, and that at the beginning
of the war the supplies o: ammuni-
ton, men and oil were complete.
Every ship in the navy which was fit
for service, as we'll as new ships
which were being built for foreign
governments and armed merchant
men, had been fully manned.

ginning OF the war"
Referring to Vice-Admiral Jellicoe's
command of the sea with his fleet as
silent, unsleeping, and as yet unchal-
lenged," Mr.. Churchill said that the
admiralty had moved men at home
and abroad, including Belgian and
French troops and the wounded, to
the number OF 100000, without acct
dent or the loss of a life.
Enemy to Fail Naval Power.
The task lying before US is both
anxious and grave. We are now to be
the object OF warfare never before
practiced by a civilized power. So
far we have not attempted to stop the
importation of food. We have not
prevented neutral chips from trading
directly with German ports We have
allowed German exports in neutral
ships to pass unchallenged But the
time is near when the enjoyment of
these immunities by a state which as
matter Of deliberate policy has
placed herself outside OF international
obligations must be reconsdered.
"A further declaration on the part
OF the allied governments will be
made, which will have the effect of
applying for the first time the full
force of naval pressure on the enemy.
1T must not be supposed that be-
cause the attack Is extraordinarily
good a reply cannot be made. Losses
no doubt will be incurred, but | be-
lleye no vital injury can be done"
The foreign Office announced defn-
itely that If the cargo of the Ameri-
can ship Wilhemina should be divert
ed for the relief of the distress in Bel
GUM the decision to send the cargo to
British prize court would be recon-
sidered
Otherwise the cargo must be sub
mitted 10 the decision Of the court.

for securing the signatures. 1t Is an
nounced that 3,141 signatures have al
ready been secured and that only 1000
more names are necessary.
Handbills calling a mass meeting
and inviting all citizens to be present
at the meeting tomorrow night are be-
ing circulated today. The movement
to return to the council form of gov
eminent was started last summer,
temporary organization being formed

Capture of Thief.


That Charles Ellis. the negro accused
OF the Santa Fe Watch company rob-
berry Saturday morning was drunk
when he broke into the store. is the be-
lief Of the police who have thoroughly
Investigated the case.
Ellis has confessed to breaking into
the store, although he still says there
were two men with him. The police say
that he broke the window and obtained
several watches and rings from the
window, raking them out. Before 2
O'Clock Saturday morning he had dis
posed of a quantity of jewelry in the
bottoms. The second robbery occurred
at o'clock. Ellis admits that he was
drinking at the time and that probably
was the cause of his second and boldest
attempt to loot the store.
Officers searched several houses on Crane
street and therea bouts and recovered i've
geld watches, one watch case. bracelet
watch and three diamond rings. There Is
still lot of the stolen goods which has
not yet been recovered. although the Off
Gals believe they are on the right trail.
Little faith is put in the story Of Ellis
that he was accompanied by two men.
II Ellis had not celebrated his robbery
success with whisky. the police probably
would still be ION his trail"

new BANKING PLAN.


Provision for the Incorporation of
cooperative banking associations and
compelling the issuance of a charter,
is made in q bill in the house today
by Representative Tromble. The bill
is perhaps the most drastic banking
act proposed at this session of the
legislature and will in q general way,
upset the legal right of the state bank
commissioner to determine the need
of one or more banks in a community.
The Tromble bill provides that
where 100 or more persons organize a
cooperative banking association and
subscribe for stock in the amount of
$4,000. that it shall be the duty of
the state bank commissioner to issue a
charter for the new institution. Co
operative banking associations shall
have g. board of directors of not less
than five persons and be conducted
under the general banking laws of the
state. As soon as the organization
plans are met and the stock fully sub
scribed, however. the state bank COM
missioner shall be compelled to au-
thorize the issuance Of license.
