VAST CONQUEST Bv
GERMAN ARMIES
Conquered T-,fritory Embraces $1,000,
90 5eigians, French and
Russian Poles.

Washington. Germany has conquer
ed territory inhabited by more than
100000 people so far during the
European war. it was stated on high
diplomatic authority.
This estimate is based upon the
number of Belgians, French and Rus
sian Poles living in cities and in the
country occupied by German soldiers.
1t is because of this large increase in
population that the food question Is
beginning to give the German govern
ment much concern, it was declared.
Figures presented by this authority
indicate that approximately 100000
Belgians are under German rule, 4,000,-
600 French and 100000 Poles.
Belgium and that part of France
held by Germany, it was stated. are
two of the most thickly populated
portions Of Europe, while Russian Po-
land, now under German influence. is
honeycombed with manufacturing COM
munities, very thickly populated.

BRITISH REPLY TO
AMERICAN NOTE
Claims the Right to Take Ships
to Port if Necessary.
FULL ANSWER AWAITED
United States Asked If It Wants Inter-
national Relations Strained
''In Favor OF Private
interests"

Washington, D. General disap-
pointment Is felt in Administration
circles over the contents of the British
reply to the American note of protest
against British interference with
American trade While this reply, the
text of which was made public Sun
day night by Secretary of State Bryan,
is not the final statement of Great
Britain,s position, it presages, In the
opinion of high officials here, a deter
minbtion on the part of the London
Government to evade the main con-
tentions of the United States.
Main Contentious Sighted.
Admitting as entirely sound and I'M
answerable the general principles of
international law upon which the
American note was based, the reply
seeks Justification for England's
actions. first, in statistics tending to
show that American trade has not
been made to suffer materially, and
second, by quoting instances where at
tempts on the part of American ship
pers to conceal the real nature or
destiny of their shipments have made
it necessary to suspect a great many
cargoes.
The reply does not, as far as this
preliminary statement shows, in the
opinion of officials here, sufficiently
answer the main contentious of the
American Government regarding the
right of its shippers to consigns
cargoes ito order and the question Of
ultimate destination"
While, as was anticipated the reply
is conciliatory in tone, one paragraph
is calculated to arouse unfavorable
comment, in that it questions whether
the people of the United States would
want the International relations be-
tween the two countries to be strained
Sin favor of private interests"
The note is signed by Sir Edward
Grey, the British Minister of Foreign
Affairs, and is addressed to Walter H.
Page, the United States Ambassador at
London. 1t sets forth that it being
necessary for the British Government
to have plenty of time in which to
make full reply 1t has been thought

statement for the purpose of clearing
the ground
Awaiting Full Reply.
At the White House it was stated
that the President would make no
comment on the reply.
The only formal comment made was
contained in a brief statement by Sec
rotary Bryan, who said:
This answer being preliminary and
not being intended as complete
reply, we will postpone comment until
the full answer is received"
1t is regarded as obvious, however,
from the tone of the note that Eng
land desires to have considerable cor
respondence on the subject. On the
other hand, it is stated that the State
Department already has under con-
sideration stronger protest with re-
gard to ship seizures which have more
recently occurred.

TO JOIN THE ALLIES

Paris.-It is learned from private
source. but from one worthy of cred
ence, that arrangements whereby the
interests Of Rumania in Berlin and
Vienna will be attended by the United
States diplomatic service have been
definitely made. This can mean but
one thing in the opinion Of the Ru-
manian Legation here that Rumania
would prefer to wait until Russian OPP
erations through Bukowina had fur
Their developed across the Carpathians.
Rumania, though ready to place
100000 troops in the lighting line i'm

face unmoved the prospect of long
