ton DeCreed by France.

PARIS, Feb. 4-By a. decree APP
propriating $50. 900. 900 to be applied
to individual indemnities for damage
to property caused by the German oc-
cupation, the French government II
held to have adopted the principle Of
such indemnities, though heretofore
no law authorized them, Heretofore
the state has declined all responsible
ity for damage to private interests as
the result OF invasion. Excuses CON-
mitted by an enemy were considered
in the same category rs losses by
storm or fire. sT
In June. when there was no
thought Of war, Deputy Louis Marin
introduced law recognizing the
principle OF national responsibility
for Individual losses in such cases.
The chamber, however. did not con-
slider the discussion OF the law urgen.
and 1t was deferred.

'UKGLEsAIl' WARNED
BY the German Government to
Avoid the North and West
Coasts of France. 3.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Germany
today notified the state department
that American vessels should avoid
the north and west coasts Of France.
The state department does not regard
the notice as a formal declaration OF
blockade by Germany of the French
coast. is said that the mere pres
ence Of German submarines or the
planting Of German submarines would
not constitute a blockade, which, ac-
Icording to long established principles
of the state department, requires the
maintenance Of feet OF warships
sufficient to prevent any intercourse
with the blockaded ports.
