portntion by Germany With
out Question.
MESSAGE COMES FROM PAGE
Movement to Have Consignmcnts
Exempted From English Blockade
First Taken Up by Senator Mar
tin, of Virginia.
Especial to The Timcs-Dispatch

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. December L.
Information reached the State Depart
ment to-day indicating that the diplo-
matte victory won In behalf of Ameri-
can tobacco growers desiring to ship
their product to Germany and Austria,
was more far-reaching than was origi-
nally indicated.
y dispatch received by the depart
ment from Ambassador Page in Lon
don states that the British government
will permit the importation by Germany
Of tobacco shipments from the United
States without question.
II had been announced by the Brit
ish Foreign Office that tobacco shp-
ments would be allowed TO reach ncu-
trail countries unmoleSted, and when
that concession was made ten days ago
American shippers assumed that it
meant safe passage to Germany as
well. To-day's adviccs confirm that
understanding.
In giving out the substance Of AM
bassador Pages message, Secretary
Lansing this afternoon said:
"A telegram from the American am
basstdor at London informs the De-
nartmcnt OF state that tobacco consign-
mcntS in all forms. including tobacco
extract, will be passed TO neutral com
tries without reference to the question
Of the ultimate destination of such con-
si:snments. American exporters may,
therefore, sell tobacco to consumers in
Germany through the intermediary OF
persons or firms in Holland"
The movement to have tobacco .X-

partment by Senator Martin. OF Viz

csts Of Virginia. Maryland and other
sections engaged in tobacco cXporta-
