new PROTEST
SENT ENGLAND.
RequisItioning Of American
Ships Causes Stir.
TO co BEFORE CONGRESS-
Action Declared Unprecedented- De.
nounced AS Utterly lndefensible
Under international
Law.

Washington.-The action of Great
Britain in reQuisitioning the American
steamships Genesee and Hooking,
owned by the American Transatlantic
Steamship Company, has developed
the most acute issue between the two
governments since the beginning Of
the war.
At the State Department it was de-
scribed as "unexampled as an arbitrary
act and without precedent as a viola.
ton of international law"
To Go Before Congress-.
The entire matter will be called to
the attention of Congress. A resolu-
ton will be introduced in the Senate
directing the Foreign Relations Com
mittee to investigate the blockade Of
neutral ports by Great Britain and re-
port what legislation is needed to pro
tect American vessels. The resolution
will lie on the table for two or three
days for discussion. In this way the
whole question of British treatment OF
American commerce win be threshed
out. Senator Hoke Smith. of Georgia,
has already prepared lengthy speech
on the subject.
Protest Sent London.
In the meantime the State Depart
ment has protested to Great Britain.
If she declines to heed the protest. the
department win demand peremptorily
that the vessels be released and that
the act be disavowed. State Depart
ment officials said that if Great Britain
should refuse redress must be sought
elsewhere than in the department.
This was interpreted to mean that the
Administration would lay the whole
matter before Congress and ask II to
decide what to do.
There is no precedent OF authority
in international law to justify the re-
QUESTIONING of a vessel before its case
has been adjudicated in the prize
court, according to Cone Johnson,
solicitor for the State Department.
No neutral ship would be safe from
seizures on the high seas IL such are
permitted to go unchallenged in q
vigorous manner" said Mr. johnson.
The requisitioning of the two vessels
is utterly contrary to our conception
Of international law"
It was admitted at the State Depart
ment that the position already adopted
by this Government makes it I'M
perative that prompt and vigorous
action be taken in this instance. 1t
was pointed out that. Great, Britain,
in requisitioning the vessels before the
prize courts had passed upon the
legality of their seizure and detention,
had acted upon an order in council.
The United States long ago notified
Great Britain that it would not rec
ognize orders in council.

ding for the South and that they may
travel on the naval yacht Mayf1oWer,
which is used as the Presidents yacht.
Nothing additional as to the plans for

what was disclosed in the statement
issued at the White House. The Off
cials at the White House entrusted
with the issuance of the announce
ment stated that they were unaware
Of the name of the minister who is to
oficiate or what would be the hour of
the wedding.
Members Of Mrs. Cats family said
that the ceremony would be performed
after s P. M, and that the couple will
leave Immediately for a honeymoon
journey. Their destination has been
kept secret even from members of the
family. Mrs. Cats mother is in per-
sonal charge Of most of the arrange
ments.
The duty. of securing marriage
license will fall to /. H. Hoover, chief
usher at the White House, who per-
formed similar services for the we'd
dings of Mrs. McAdoo and Mrs. Sayre.
The President is Presbyterian and
his fiancea an EnicconaIiar II moe

dingsof the Presidents daughter, Miss
Eleanor Wilson, to Secretary of the
Treasury William G. McAdoo, and

 The relief operations are divided into three classes. one to provision the entire population, another .tC conduct financial relief and exchange operations; and a third to care for the destitute.
 The provisioning department . says the report, 'is charged with the duty of revictualling the whole 7,0OO,OO0 people with necessary inn ports. and up to June 30 had either delivered or had in stock over 600,000 tons of foodstuffs for the Belgian section to the gross value of over S45.0O0, 900.

industrial mass of over $500. 900 people falls further and further into Restitution
 S'Generous as the resources placed at the commissions disposal are, they are pitifully small when spread over the number who are now wholly dependent or who are becoming de- pendent with increasing frequncy.
 Tt will appar from this report that the commission is transmitting S5.0O0,0O0 a month from the outside world for the destitute, yet this sum divided over those now unemployed and destitute would average less than five cents per day. It is evident that the. commissions work has been only supplemental to individual re- sources. and these can obviously but diminish throughout the period of the war unless something can be done to at least overcome the indus trial stagnation."
 In addition to the Belgian people, the commission also supplies the French population within the German occupied territory which number about 2,3oO,oOO. The cost of sup porting these people amounts to about $4,000,000 a month. and Is ac- complished entirely without recourse to charity by financial arrange ments which the commission has in stituted whereby the towns in the occupied zone secure loans from the banks of Paris.
