Berlin Paper Criticises the
German Reply to Note
From Washington
PLAN WOULD KILL
SUBMARINE WAR
No Confidence Is Felt That
Great Britain Would
Keep Any Promise

Berlin, March 3.-Count Won Revent-
low, writer on naval subjects, has
an article in today's Tages Zeitung in
which he expresses his thorough dis
pleasure both with the American note
to Germany concerning the naval war
zone and the submarine blockade of
the British isles and the German an
swer to this communication.
In this Germany substantially
agrees to accept many of the informal
suggestions Of the United States made
with the idea Of bettering the situa-
tion arising from the carrying out of
the German blockade and the British
retal1atory measures, provided Great
Britain yields on her sides in certain
directions, particularly in the matter
of shutting out all food shipments to
Germany. This American note was de-
flivered to the German foreign Office by
Ambassador Gerard the evening of
February % and the German answer
was transmitted to Washington sever
g. days ago.
In his attitude of oppositions, this
writer is almost alone among German
commentators, Die Post being the
only other paper disposed to express
dissatisfaction with the German an
swer.
XIII Submarine Warfare.
Count Won Reventlow says the Amer
lean proposals would have the effect Of
making Germany's submarine war i'm
possible and Germany's answer gives
heed to this demand. Concerning Ger
many's willingness to proceed accord
ing to the general international rules
against hostile and neutral merchant
men, provided the abuse Of the flag is
abandoned. Count. Won. Reventlow
says:
According to this a German sub
marine would let merchantmen un-
der the English flag pass by with
courteous bows, perhaps with salute
Of the flag. To proceed according to
international rules would mean putting
an end to searching and the possible
capture of neutrals, and the capture
under all circumstances of hostiles.

the vote Is taken. and every State that
We add to the equal suffrage list makes

While the Presidents support as re-

The Presidents decision to support
