 AN AERIAL ATTACK
Parliament Meets With Windows Darkened--Aeroplancs Re-
 ported Sighted

Ottawa. Ont, February 15.-Despite a report from Brockvile today that do- minion police there believed two toy fire balloons sent up last night at Morristown, N Y.. had been mistaken for search lights on aeroplanes flying Into Canada, every precaution was taken here tonight against an aerial raid.
 The Canadian Parliament met with windows darkened, the tower light ex- tinguished and the Parliament grounds in darkness.
 No lights were shown at the royal mint or at Rideau hall, where the Duchess of Connaught and the Princess Patricia awaited the return of the Duke of Con naught from western Canada.
 In Parliament today Sir Wilfrid Lau- Tier, opposition leader, asked what foun- dation there was for reports that aero planes had entered Canada from the United States last night.
 Premier Borden replied that he was called on the telephone last night by the mayor of Brockville, who told him that three aeroplanes had crossed the St Law renee river and that they had proceeded in the direction of Ottawa.
 While Parliament was in session to- night troops inobiized to train for service in Europe were held in readiness to fire on any aircraft that might appear.

1t is admitted here that the developments of the last few days present most serious situation for American commerce. Administration officials think that even though assurances are given eventually by Germany that neutral ships will not be attacked, the effect of the war zone proclamation will be to intimdate Amer ports.
 That the next step by the United States may be a pronounced statement to Great Britain on the subject of conditional con traband was indicated at the state de- partment today. The American govern mcnt in it's first note argued strongly for unrestricted shipment of conditional oontrahand when destined to nonconl- tatants. The British preliminary reply did not oppose this view, but said an urf- conditional acceptance could not be giver 1 on account of Germany's alleged inhu- maDe practices.
 1 It was believed here today that the American government might seek an un- derstanding on the question of foodstuffs with both Germany and Great Britain, with the hope that it might avert the sub
 marine dangers to neutral ships. Following is the text of the German ambassadors note:
 The German embassy issued the fol lowing statement in connection with tho
 
 department:
 According to absolutely reliable infor- nation. British merchant ships intend to oppose armed resistance to German
 men of war In the area declared as war
 zones by the German admiralty. some of these ships already were armed with British naval guns Now all the others speedily being equipped in similar way. Merchant ships have been instructed to sail in groups and to ram German submarines, while the ex- animation is proceeding, or should tho submarines lay alongside to throw bombs upon them else to attempt to over power the examining party coming on board. A very high premium has been offered for the destruction of the first German submarine by a British mer- chant vessel Therefore, British mer- chant ships cannot any more be consId- cred as undefended, so that they may be attacked by German war vessels, without warning or search. The British admitted that instructions have been given to misuse neutral flags. It is almost certain that British merchant vessels by all means will try to conceal their iden- tty. Thereby it also has become almost impossible to ascertain the identity or neutral ships, unless they sail in day light under convoy, as all measures sug- gested by neutrals. for instance painting of the ships in the national colors, may be promptly initiated by British ships The attacks to be expected by masked British merchant vessels make search impossible, as the examining party and the submarines themselves would there- by be exposed to destruction. Shipping Threatened Under these circumstances the safety of neutral shipping in the war zone around the British isles is seriously threatened. There also Is an increased danger res ulting from mines. as these
