BIZ Associated Press.

Washington, March 4.-The official
text of the German governments s reply
to the American note suggesting that
Germany and Great Britain agree on a
plan to lessen danger to neutral ship
ping in the war zone was made public
here to-day. 1t follows:
1.-THE imperial German government
have taken note with great interest of
Ithe suggestion of the American govern
ment that certain principles for the
conduct of maritime war ON the part
of Germany and England be agreed
upon for the protection of neutral ship
ping. They see therein new evidence
of the friendly feelings of the American
government towards the German gov,
ernment, which are fully reciproeated
by Germany.
Want War According to Rules
cit is in accordance with Germany S
wishes also to have maritime war con.
Quoted according to rules which, with
out discriminatory restricting one or
the other of the belligereut powers in
the use of their means of warfare, are
equally considerate of the interests of
neutrals and the dictates of humanity.
Consequently It was lntimated in the
German note of the sixteenth instant
that observation of the Declaration of
London ON the part of Germany's ad-
versaries would create new situation,
from which the German government
would gladly draw the conclusions.
Proceeding from this view, the
German governments have carefully ex-
anined tine sug ;estion of The American
government and believe that they can
actually see in il a suitable basis for
the practical solution of the questions
which have arisen.

berlin ADMITS RUSSIANS
RECAPTURE PRzASNYSZ IN
Attack ON GERMAN wing

Berlin, March 8, via Amsterdam to
London, March 4, 4.39 A. M.-The fol-
lowing dispatch from the German chief
headquarters was made public this
evening:
After the marvellous capture of the
strongly fortified town of Przasnysz
North Poland) by one of our corps,
which had advanced from an eastern
direction, the situation became critical
for one day by the advance of three
Russian army corps which attacked the
German wing from the east, southeast
and south and forced the victorious
German corps by a backward movement
to make front against these superior
forces.
Parts of the corps were sharply
pressed and great numbers of wounded
in the neighboring villages could not be
removed in time, but the Russians were
unable to disturb the orderly backward
movement and lost touch with the Ger
man corps. This proves that they suf-
fered severely during their attacks.
Meanwhile German reinforcements
came and the situation was restored.
cit was quite an insignificant Rus
sian success and cannot be compared
with the previous German storming of
Przasnysz, in which we took ten thou
sand prisoners and great quantity of
war booty.'

By Associated Press.

Washington, March All that was
needed to-day to enlarge the power of
President Wilson to prevent violations
of American neutrality by vessels leav-
ing United States ports with men or
supplies for belligerent warships was
the President s approval of joint reso
tuition of Congress. The resolution, a
substitute for that previously passed by
the House, was unanimously adopted
by the Senate early to-day following
a conference at the White House last
night between President Wilson and
members of the Foreign Relations Com

House and to uay only awaited Presi-

the original House measure. 1t has the
hearty support of State Department Of

called by these officials to the fact that

Unconcerned About Bombardment

Berlin, Via London, March 4, 11.3O
A M.-Attaches of the Turkish en-
bassy here profess to be unconeerned
regarding the bombardment of the
Dardanelies forts by the great allied
fleet. They declare the Notifications
are impregnable. that the landing of
troops at the entrance to the straits is
impossible and that any attempt to
land force at some point along the
shore of the Gulf of Saros would re-
quire more men than the allies oan
concentrate, leaving out of considera..
tion the strong Turkish forces stationed
at all threatened points.
The Constantinople correspondent Of
the "Frankfurter Zeitung' sends his
paper an interview with Enver Pasha.
in which the chief of the Turkish gen.
eral staff is said to have declared that
the damage to the outer forts was less
than had beer reported, but that these
forts are the oldest of the entire line
and their early reduction always has
been expected If serious attack were
made upon the Dardanelles. The allied
fleet, he declared, has yet to reach the
real line of defense.
