Germany Gives Reasons.
iI,x The Associated Trrss

Berlin. Feb. 6.-(By Wireless to
London, 40 p. m.)-The
dunn Of the German government CON
corning a blockade of British waters
states:
''The British war measures are a
continuous violation of international
law. Great Britain placed objects
which were not of any use in war on
the list Of co~ntraband articles and
even dismissed the question of con-
traband by Selling all objects des-
tined for Germany and by taking
away German property from neutral
ships and imprisoning Germans OF
military age found on neutral ships.
"All these measures have for their
object the maintenance of British in
| terests, the destruction of German
economical life and the starvation OF
the German people.
Neutral powers are cCntentinG
themselves with vain protests against
| Great Britain's illegal and injurious
measures, and are even under pres
sure from England, issuing orders
prohibiting the expect and transit OF
| goods to Germany.
Germany, therefore, is obliged
energetically to protect her life and
interests by declaring a blockade. A
fortnight's delay will give merchant
ships the necessary time to make ar
raNgomeQtS."

AS the German proclamation does
