London, Feb. 1s.-sir Edward Grey,
the British foreign secretary. an
nounced today that the British govern
rnert had decided the American steam
err Wilhelmfna's food cargo, which is
destined for Germany. should be held
to 8 prize court. The declaration ap-
pears to make clear Great Britain's
purpose to declare all foodstuffs for
Germany contraband, as well as to
foreshadow other reprisaIs.
Grey reviews the German methods
of warfare and denounces them as a
violation OF international usages. He
adds:
III his majesty's government should
hereafter feel constrained to declare
focdstuffs as absolute contraband, or
take other measures for interfering
with German trade by way Of reprisals,
they confidently expect such action
not to be challenged on the part of
neutral states by appeals to laws and
usages of war, which their enemy
frankly boasts his intention to disre-
gard"

with the necessity of appropriating
ninety million dollars q day for the
next eleven legislative days. congress
today prepared to hurry through meas
ures which will supply the billion dol

next fiscal year.
In the senate the day was entirely
devoted to the thirty -nine million doll

the pension bin carrying $4,000 900
and took up the diplomatic and consul

London, Feb. i9.--yThe British foreign
office tonight issued note in reply to
the representation of the United States
government concerning the use of the
American flag by British vessels IN
which it says 1t has no intention of ad :
vising merchant shipping to use for
eign flags as a general practice. or to
resort to them otherwise than for es-
Gaping capture and destruction.
The communication says the liner
Lusitania on her recent voyage from
New York to Liverpool, raised the
American flag ito save the lives of nom
combatants among the crew and pas
sengers." 1t adds that In spite OF the
fact that American passengers were on
the Lusitania on her outward voyage
for New York SO she asked could the
American flag be hoisted the British
government did not give any advice to
the company as how 10 meet this re-
quest and. # g understood the Ialsl-
tania LETT Liverpool under the British
flag"
IN conclusion the statement de-
clares 1t is an obligation of a belliger-
ent warship to ascertain definitely the
nationality and character of a mer-
chant vessel before taking action
against 1t, and that the British govern
ment holds that If the loss OF neutrals
is caused by disregarding the obliga-
ton, it is upon the enemy vessel and

The declaration is made that Ger

nouncing 'the newspaper war against

American shipments of arms to the all
lies.
I'm our present demands against
England" he said. our only alterna-
tive is either to give in or to declare
war The threat Of an embargo on
arms however quickly would bring
the mistress of the seas to terms with
out war"
Portraying the "steadfast devotion of
citizens OF German blood to American
ideals and the flag Mr.. Bartholdt de-
cIared:
TT unfortunately the United States
ever again should be embroiled In war,
which Heaven forbid, the Germans Of
this country would again show loyal
ty to the stars and stripes. The Ger
mans of this country are for America
against England, for America against
Germany, for America against the
world. They will never waver for one
second in their allegiance to their
land"
Americans of German descent. he
said, have been openly accused Of di-
vided allegiance and downright dis
loyalty and while they know that "this
wanton insult emanated from English
and French press agents and they treat
It with contempt they resent that IN
