ing the attitude of Great Britain and Germany toward the latest American proposals for the safeguarding of neu- tral commerce from the dangers of submarines and mines and the unre- stricted shipment of foodstuffs to the civil population of belligerent coun- tries. Complete replies are not ex- pected for several days, because the subject is still under consideration by England and her allies.
 Germany Willing.
 Germany's willingness to make con sessions and negotiate for an under standing on the vexatious questions already has been made known infor- mally to the United States and for nal acquiescence is expected in a day or two. All eyes are now turned on London, where opinion is understood as yet to be divided on the merits of the suggestions
 Leading British Diplomats Favor Pro-
 posals.
 Some of the leading men in the British cabinet are said to favor in principle the American proposals as a means of solving the problem with as little inconvenience to neutral coun- tries as possible. Another element, however, is said to be impressed by the military value of further restriction of supplies to Germany and more re- pr1SalS, and there IS some indication that when the final resolution on the American proposals is to be made, the military faction will present strong opposition to them.
 The exact nature of the proposals is still unknown because of the rigid reticence of the officials both here and abroad, but each day adds information on the subject. Briefly, this much of the contents of the American Sugges- tions now has been confirmed:
 The United States has asked that the previous rules of international law, with respect to the shipment by neu- trals of conditional contraband des- tined to civilian population and not the belligerent forces of an enemy, re- main unaltered.
 A system is suggested whereby proof can be furnished that the SUD- plies will be used by the civilian pop ulation.
 Removal of Floating Mines.
 The removal of all floating mines by Germany as well as Great Britain is proposed, this not to apply, however to mines used for protection of coast defenses and harbors, pilots to be fur nished to guide neutral ships through such fields as remain.
 Attention is called to Germany S promise that if foodstuffs are not de- tained when destined to her civilian population, the submarine warfare on merchant ships will be abandoned.
