WILL STICK To
WAR ZONE ORDER
Suggests That United States
Employ Ships to Safe
guard Merchantmen.
DEMANDS FREEDOM OF SEAS
The Note Explains That Ger
many's Action Was Made
Necessary by Position Which
Is Taken by Great Britain.

BERLIN, Feb. 1S.-Germany's re-
ply to the protest of the United States
against designation of a naval war
zone about the British Isles is couchCd
in the most friendly terms but firmly
maintains the positions OF Germany as
already announced.
The German note recommends that
the United States send warships to
England to convoy merchant vessels
through the danger zone as security
against attack, with the understand
ing that vessels thus guarded shall
carry no war supplies.
The note, which has been trans
mitted to Washington through the
American embassy, explains that Ger
many's action was made neces. airy by
Great Britain's policy of attempting
to cut off the food supply of IT, Ger
man civil population by a method
never recognized in international law
England'S course in ordering mer-
Chanmen to fly neutral flags, equip
ping them with artillery and order
ing them to destroy submarines, Ger
many contends, renders nugatory the
right of search, and gives Germany
the right to attack English shipping.
Germany holds that she cannot aban-
don that right under the stress Eng
land has forced upon her.
Germany argues that since she
must compel her enemies to return to
the recognized principles of interna-
tional law and restore the freedom
of the seas, the stand she has taken
is necessary. Hope is expressed that
the American government will under
stand the position in which Germany
has been placed and appreciate the
reason for her course.
The reply closes with expressions
of the hope that the United States
may prevail upon Great Britain 'to
return to the principles of interna-
tional law recognized prior to the out
break of the war;" and in particular
obtain observance of the declaration
of London. If this weree done, the
note explains, Germany would be able
to import food supplies and raw ma
terialS. Germany would recognize in
this, says the reply, an Invaluable
service toward a more humane CON
duct of the war and would act in ac-
cordance with the new situation thus
created.

II This City Will Make Same
Proposition 1t Did to
Brooklyn.
NO DECISION IS REACHED
Some Action Will Be Taken by
the Board of Directors Today.
Club Wants Three Hundred
Dollars to Train Here.

The question of whether OF not the
Kansas City club Of the Federal
league will train in Brunswick this
| spring viii be definitely decided to-
day when committee of the Board
of Trade will respond to Telegram
received yesterday, asking il the city
was willing to make the same propo.
sition to the Kansas city club as it
made few weeks ago to the Brook
lyn club of the same league,
The telegram was received yester-
day morning from Secretary Wealth
erly, who is in New York, and who
has been in conference with officials
of the Federal league. He stated in
the wire that Kansas City had agreed
to come to Brunswick on March
and remain here FOR month, provided
Brunswick would make that team the
same proposition as it did to the
Brooklyn club This offer was that
the park would be placed in first
class condition and $500 be given to
the club.
A meeting to consider the matter
was held at the Board of Trade rooms
yesterday afternoon, but no definite
action was taken. In view of the fact
that Brunswick has now decided to re-
tain her franchise in the Georgia
State league it is believed that all the
money that can be secured for base
ball will be needed by the club and
the Board of Trade does not feel like
calling upon the people, or rather the
fans, for this $500. 1t has been learn
ed, however since the proposition
was made to the Brooklyn club that
none of these teams have been paid any
cash money by cities in which they
are to train One of the clubs is to
make Vaidosta It's spring training
camp. and ali that that city gave was
free use Of the ball park II is prob
able thatt he Board of Trade will
wire the Kansas City officials that
Brunswick will do as much as any OF
the other cities, that of the free use
Of the ball park, but that the cash
consideration will not be given.
Action was deferred yesterday pend
ing the meeting of the directors OF
the Georgia State league in Thomas
vile today
