Germany's Formal Reply.
Berlin March 1.-Germany's reply
to the American note concerning ma
val war zone was handed to Ambas
sador Gerard, and corresponds in
general with the forecast of some
days ago.
The foreign office characterizes
the German reply as an acceptance
with few notifications" Of the
American proposals The reply sug-
gests that in accordance with princi-
pies of international law, importa-
tions should be permitted, not only
If foodstuffs, but also OF such raw
material as are urgently necessary
for the peaceful civilian population.
Com mmerciaI Intercourse Prohibited.
Washington. March ALL COM
mercial intercourse by sea between
Germany and the outside world Is de-
c:ared prohibited by England and
France An identical note present
ed by the French and British ambas-
saders here informed the United
States of this drtstic step by the al
lies in reply to Germany's war zone
proclamation.
England notified the United States
that the latter's proposal respecting
limitation of submarines and mines
and arrangement for supplying food
stuffs to Germany was being taken
into careful consideration by the gov
ernment in consultations with the
allies"
Cuts OF Our Trade.
The British ambassador on instruc'
tions from his government informed
the state department of this fact af-
ter delivering an Anglo-French COM
concerning reprisals, and
holding up of neutral shipping to and
from Germany.
If this policy is enforced, it will no
longer by possible to ship cotton and
articles or commodities
hitherto non-contraband from Ameri-
ca to Germany, directly or indirectly,
and from the latter country dye-stuffs
or other merchandise, for cOnsump-
ton in this country.
The impression is general among
officials that strong protest will be
made against the action of the allies,
which is regarded as unprecedented.
It is pointed out that in reprisais
which the belligerents are making to-
ward each, there was singuiarly for
getfulness of the fact that whatever
might be violations of international
customs as between those countries
at war, this could not affect the sta
tus of international rules as between
the United States and countries with
which she is at peace.
