TEXT OF. RECENT
GERMAN NOTE
United States Does Not
Consider Belgian Con-
sular Certificates Have
Expired, But Merely Sus
pended.
az AssocIATEp PRESS.

Washington, Jan. 20. - Secretary
Bryan tonight made public the text of
Germany's note annulling the certi-
ficates OF authority of neutral consuls,
in Belgium and issued a paraphrase of
tAe United States governments reply.
The German note considers the GER
tificates have expired" but the UNI
ted States takes the view that they
merely are suspended"
The American government thus has
avoided committing itself to ques-
ton OF whether or, not Belgian SOW
ereignity has expired with German
military occupation.
At the same time the United States
indicates its willingness to arrange
for continuance of consuls person
ally not Objectionable to the German
authorities.

SHOWS IRRITATION
Do Not Like the British Con
traband Policy and Sug-
gest Reprisals-M Ministers

Situation in the West is
Unchanged.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London. Jan. 25-Eleventh hour stif-
fleming of the Austrian front to check
the Russian invasion of Hungary as
a natural sequence of the occupation
OF Buckowina seems for the present
an event of chief military Importance
In the continental operations. The
Russians recognize this and all recent
Petrograd dispatches have emphasized
the Austro- German offensive in the
southeastern theatre.
Perhaps second in Importance are
the Russian movements near the east
and west Prussian frontiers. The Ger
man statement today takes cognizance
of these operations, although insist
ing that no new advances on German
territory are feared.
In the west there has been so little
change that the British newspapers
print the official communication with
scant comment, preferring to- feature
Sundays naval action. The facts con-
in detail and the admiralty up to to-
night has added nothing to the orig
inal announcement.
With great battles soon to be fought
at her front door, Ronmania has not
yet decided to join In the conflict. It
is patent however. that the Balkan
situation is only simmering and it Is
believed action will come suddenly.
The Italian, Greek anc Bulgarian min
listers were called to the foreign office
today.
The Swedish press is showing re-
newed irritation against the British
contraband policy. Some Stockholm
papers suggest reprisals by forbiddins
transportation of goods destined for
Great Britain over Swedish railways
One paper says the country should
strengthen it's defenses and command
respect OF her neutrality.

BATTLE OF DREADNoUGHTs IS
RECEIVED WITH ENTHUSIASM

London, AIN, 25.-The news Of the
first battle between dreadnoughts,
yesterdays naval engagement in the
North sea has aroused much more en-
thusiasm among the British public
than either the fight Off Helgoland
or off the Falkland Islands, although
both these engagements perhaps loom

English public the comoat of yester-
day means the triumph of their long

The German official report on Sun
days fight admits the sinking of the
battle cruiser Bleucher, but offsets
their loss with the assertion accord
ing to information available. one Brit
ish battle cruiser was sunk" This
statement has been directly denied by
the British admiralty which says
clearly: mo British ships have been
lost"
This engagement keeps up the repu-
tation of the present war for Sunday
fighting which has been 30 frequent
both on lard and sea that Sunday has
now come to be day of increased Wig
lance rather than relaxations.
No important developments in the
land fighting on either side has been
reported In London. The contending
forces in Bukowina are forming for a
new battle and the Austrians claim the
advantage in the preliminary Skin
mishes. The Austrians claim also they
have driven back the Russian advance
through some of the Carpathian
passes. The Turks, according to Lon

pulled out Of the ground by powerful
machines constructed for that purpose.
The force required to pull such
stumps from the ground Is enormous,
but It is applied slowly, In submission
