WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Increas-
ing interest is being manifested in Of
fetal and diplomatic quarters here in
the outcome of negotiations on the
part OF the Washington government
with the British and German govern
ments with view to ending danger
to American shipping in the retalia-
tory measures of the European bel
ligerents towards each other. The
United States, through its latest pro-
posals, seeks to secure the elimination
by Germany of its naval war zone
and the adoption by the belligerents
of a definite policy regarding food
shipments to civilian popula tions.
British Attitude. ..
LONDON, Feb. 25.-The proposals
OF Washington to Great Britain and
Germany, which are in London assum-
ed to embrace the abandonment of
Germany's self-declared war zone and
some definite policy regarding food
stuffs for the civilian population, have
noticeably quickened the public inter
est, both in this country and In Ger
many, in this delicate diplomatic sit
uation.
The British press in general is re.
strained in tone, but the average Eng
lishman plainly resents what he con-
siders hint at any attempt to inter.
fere with the absolute blockade of Ger.
many should England care to enforce
this with her sea power. In the mean
time, in spite of the sinking of -four
British merchantmen involving the
loss of our lives, Great Britain still
holds off from declaring food destined
to Germany to be contraband. II is
believed If this step is taken that il
will be postponed until the Americans
proposals have been discussed al
length.
Just what this proposal is the public
here and in Berlin in unaware Of Its
only information has been CLEANED
from the meager and qualified dis
patches from Washington. There
/ would seem to be no doubt, however
that Great Britain will reserve the
right to declare food contraband a
any time she deems 1t necessary

British Paper Objects.
LONDON, Feb. 25.-"We are Obliged
to say at once there can be no bargain
ing on this subject" says the West
minister Gazette in referring to the
American notes to Great Britain and
Germany in regard to the situation
that has grown out of Germany's nav
tinues:
The pressure of our sea power is a
perfectly legitimate operation of war.
Germany had full warning from her
own economists what must happen if
she risked prolonged war with SUI
perior sea power. BY making grain
supplies public property, and still
more by putting her population on ra-
| uons, she entities us to treat these
| supplies as contraband of war.
"On her own principle of limited
consumption the supplies of the civil
population could not be conducted in
the manner suggested. The results
would be simply to leave the govern
ment large supplies for military pur-
poses.'
