week ago the shortage of foodstuffs
became SO serious that rioting was
avoided only by the presence OF

the mob; but in one instance they
fired too low, killing number OF

After a. careful examination of the
contents of the proposed note as out-
lined by Gerard, which comedies with
the recent Berlin press dispatch that
high officials have practically agreed
the United States cannot, without sac
riiicing important neutral rights, eA.
press its approval of the German pro-
posal in the present form.
The impression tonight is that the
American government probably will
instruct Gerard within day or two,
to decline to express any view until
after the formal reply is delivered to
him.
II is learned the German note would
give assurances that Americans might
travel with safety on the high seas
on certain conditions imposed by Ger
many, such as marking the belliger-
ent vessels carrying Americans and
notification by the United States to
Germany the date Of departure and
character Of such vessels and inspec-
ton insuring their non-carriage Of
of war.
