FRIENDLY BUT FIRM

Berlin, Feb 1s.--Gernany's reply to
tho protest Of tbs United states against
designation IL naval war zone about
the British isles is couched in the
most friendly terms. but firmly main-
tains the position Of Germany as all
ready announced
The German note recommends that
the United States send warsnips to
England to convoy merchant vessels
through the danger zone az security
against attack, with the understanding
that vessels thus guarded shall carry
no war supplies.
The note, which has been transmitted
20 Washington through the American
embassy. explains that Germany's ac-
fion was made necessary by Great
Britain's policy OF attempting to cut
Off the food supply Of the German civil
population by method never recog-
nized In international law. England's
course In ordering merchantmen to fly
neutral flags, equipping them with
artillery and ordering them TO destroy
submarines, Germany contends, rem
dcrs nugatory the right of search. and
gives Germany the right to attack Eng
lish shipping. Germany holds that she
cannot abandon that right under the
stress England has forced upon her.
