FRANCE WILL Join IN
ENFORCING BLOCKADE
Premier Asquith Announced
That Protests From Neu-
tral Of No Effect

London, March 1.--France will join
England in enforcing the blockade, it
was announced.
Premier Asquith warned neutral ma
tions that the allies would not be di-
verted by protests that the embargo
was playing havoc with commerce.
"The blockade" he said, twill be
enforced in strict accordance with the
dictates of humanity. 1t is not intend
ed, however, that our efforts shall be
strangled by judicial niceties If neu.
tral nations suffer, it is, of course, to
be regretted; but let them remember
that this sort of warfare was neither in.
stigated nor encouraged by England, u
Premier Asquith ridiculed the sug.
gestion that German blockade of
British ports already existed He said
reprisals were necessary because Ger
many had substituted indiscriminate
destruction of British merchantmen for
capture in violation of international
law"
In response to question, Premier
Asquith resented the insinuation that
the western fleet had been weakened
by the dispatch of warships to lombard
the Dardenelles. He said the lombard
ment was progressing methodically, and
that the capture of Constantinoplt
would be a triumph, not only from 0
naval and military standpoint but alsC
for its economic and political effect.

PRESIDENT TO PROBE
LATE PASSPORT FRAUDS
If German Officials Have I'm
posed Upon United States
Germany viii Know

Washington, March L. President
Wilson will pass personally upon the
allegations that officials Of the German
embassy here have violated diplomatic
ethics and the neutrality of the United
States by trying to obtain by fraud
American passports for use by German
spies in England.
This was decided today by high Of
ficals Of the administration. II is de-
MED, however, that there is any inten-
tion to make an issue with Germany
out Of any of the charges which have
resulted from the arrest in New York
of Richard Stegler, who confessed pass
port frauds and asserted that Captain
Boyed, German naval attache, had em-
ployed him as a spy.
If II should be shown that any Ger
man diplomatic official or attaches
have abused the hospitality of the Unit
ed States, the facts will be presented
to the German government which will
decide for itself what it wants to do.
The recall of officials who offended
will not be asked,

posed blockade would not work any ex-
treme hardships on American commerce.
He stated that he did not see on the
surface any reasons for negotiations
with England regarding the matter.
