SCHURMAN DENOUNCES
BRITISH WAR POLICY
Cornell President Protests
Against Food Being Made
COntraband.

BrNGHAMroN, Feb I2.-Criticism OF
Great Britain's present attitude tow
ard the shipment Of foodstuffs to Ger
many from neutral countries was ex-
pressed tonight by President Jacob
Could Schurman of Cornell University
in an address before the Chamber Of
Comerce here on THE War and Ameri-
can Rights"
DR.. Schurman declared that it has
been the traditional policy OF Great
Britain to prevent foodstuns being
made contraband OF war and that this
principle has always had the support
Of the United States. lie said:
'In recent times there have been
two or three sporadic attempts to
make foodstuffs contraband OF war but
these were quickly suppressed by the
energetic action and protest of Great
Britain and tho United States.
1T Is all the more amazing and all
the more saddening to find the British
Government in the present great war
taking up a position on this question
which for more than a century she has
emphatically denounced.
During all this period ENGLAND has
gone hand in hand with the United
States in asserting the unlimited right
of trade in foodstuffs between citizens
or subjects OF neutral States and the
non-combatant populations Of belliger-
ent countries.
Now that she has deserted the prin-
ciple on which she has hitherto stood
now that she has adopted the indefen-
sible and lnhuman policy OF starving
the women and children of an enemy
country, there Is nothing for the Gov
eminent OF the United States to do but
TO assert with renewed emphasis and
to defend with unwavering frmness
the inalienable right to neutral trade
In foodstuffs with the non-combatan nj
OF every belligerent country so long as
its ports remain unblockaded,r

BERLIN, via London, Feb, 12.-The

cans in Germany are entitled to be
treated as guests and that the laws OF

DEMANDS ALARM CHINA.
Pckin Government Feels Helpless
Because OF war.

Special cable Despatch IN THE srN.
LONDON. Feb IA despatch from
Toxic to the Times says there Is great
commotion In China owing to the fact
that Japan recently and Unexpectedly
presented series OF demands for rail-
way and mining concessions and indus
trial opportunities.
The correspondent says the signih-
canoe Of the demands has doubtless been
exaggerated. Nevertheless, while 1t may
be true that none OF them affects China's
integrity China has an excuse for alarm
owing to her helpessness and the fact
that the Powers interested in her fate
are engaged elsewhere
The correspondent ascribes Japan's
action to the pressure of popular de-
mands which impel her toward a for
ward foreign policy Foreign interests,
particularly British, are closely affected
by Japan's action,
The Pekin correspondent OF the Times
says the Japanese demands are un-
officially stated to include first. that no
part OF the Chinese coast and no island
OF the coast shall he coded or leased to
any foreign Power second. that Japan
shall have exclusive mining rights in
eastern Mongolia and the right Of veto
regarding the construction of railways
there and that Japanese shall he AL
lowed to settle and trade in that region.
Further demands are that the lease of
the Port Arthur Railway and the agree
ments In regard to South Manchuria be
extended 80 years that China shall
transfer to Japan all German mining
and railway privileges al Shantung that
Japan shall have the veto of mining
railway and dock concessions at Fu-kien
and shall control in cooperation with
China the Han-Yang iron works and
other industrial concerns in the Yangtse
Valley that China shall purchase at
least half of its arms and ammunition
from Japan. or that srsenals under
Chinese-Japanese ownership shall be
erected In China.
In case of necessity China must call
upon Japan alone to preserve its in
tegrity.
Privileges such as are enjoyed by
other nationals. regarding the establish
ment OF missions. churches schools and
hospitals and the purchase of land in
connection Herewith shall be granted
to the japanese.
II IT be found necessary to appoint
foreigners to work In the arsenals only
Japanese shall be appointed.
China shall appoint high Japanese off,
clals to the military, financial and police
services.

AWAIT NOTES EFFECT.
Administration Pleased with Pub
Iic,s ApprnNnI of Action.

WASHINGTON. Feb. l2.--Renection Of
the effect in Europe OF the notes 10
Germany and Great Britain is now
awaited In Washington. The Admins
tration is satisfied with the reception
given the publication OF the notes in
this country. officials believe that the
country will approve Of them as frank
and vigorous statements uf the Ameri-
can position, in defence of the rights
of this country as non-combatant In
the war.
II is held ny the Administration
that II was desirable that the views
OF the United States should be clearly
stated at the earliest moment on the
two very important issues raised by
Great Britain and Germany. Silence
at this time, It was believed. might lead
the belligerents to a misunderstanding
OF the real attitude of this Govern
mcnt and 1t was thought better to speak
with extreme frankness rather than 20
leave the slightest room for doubt about
that attitude Such misunderstandings.
II was feared, might result In much more
serious complications than would a
statement at this time.
IL was explained to-day that the
German note necessarily gives an i'm
preston of greater severity than that
TO Great Britain, because the one dis
cusses law while the other deals merely
with a practice. The communication to
Great Britain makes request that a
particular practice be discontinued out
OF regard for It's possible hurtful ef-
feet upon American interests, while the
note to Germany lodges vigorous pro-
test against supposedly contemplated
operations which this Government re
CARDS as indefensible and beyond all
rules OF civilized warfare
The notes were topic NJ discus
sion at the Cabinet meeting to-day 1t
developed that they were not previously
laid before the Cabinet for considera-
ton, the Presidents own approval suf-
fcing to send them OIL their way. Mem
bers OF the Cabinet, excepting MIR.
Bryan. learned of the contents OF the
two communications from the news
papers this morning.
At neither the British nor German
embassies. nor In diplomatic circles gem
orally. was any comment upon the notes
obtainable.
