ALLIES WON'T CONFISCATE
UNITED STATES GOODS
Blockade Is Limited by Great Britain
to War Zone-RepIies to Ameri-
can Protest.

Washington, March 19.-In notes of
similar tenor made public on Wednes-
day by the state department, Great
Britain and France make the definite
assertion to the United States that they
have established and are enforcing a
blockade of the ports of Germany, but
that the allied governments will ere
frain from enforcing the usual penal
ties of blockade"
1t is further explained that neu-
trail vessels are subject to seizure
only when presumed to be carrying
contraband, and in the words of the
French note, "the discharged cargo
shall not be confscated. Merchandise
belonging to neutraIs shall be held at
the disposal Of it's owner to be re-
turned to the port of departure In
case the owner of the goods is a Ger
man, they shall simply be seques-
trated during the war"
These notes were in answer to the
American representations made to
the allies recently asking an expla-
nation of the method to be adopted in
enforcing the blockade, and pointing
out that some of the provisions in this
blockade plan were paradoxical. The
American note was made public by
Secretary Bryan simultaneously.
The reply of Great Britain to the
recent American note proposing a
method of agreement between Great
Britain and Germany for the protec-
ton of neutral ships in the sea war
zone, and suggesting that Great Brit
ain permit the shipment of foodstuffs
to German civilians in return for the
abandonment of mine and submar inc
warfare, also was made public. AS
has already been announced in the
newspapers, the British reply is COM
plete rejection of the proposal.

Fear State "Monarchy."

Gov. E. L. Philips program of con-
solidation of state commissions was
discussed at an informal conference
of Progressives. The general scheme
will be opposed by the Progressives
on the ground that the important
work performed by the commissions
under the present arrangement can
not be carried out under the program
recommended by the investigating
committee. Progressive leaders say
the plan would create a monarchy of
state government and would vest in
the governors Office sweeping control
of all departments.
