Washington Sees Blow to Import
Trade Made Through Blockade Of
Germany-Order Is Drastic on Neu-
trails of Europe-It Is Without
Precedent.
WASHINGTON, d. C.-The United
States viii vigorously protest Eng
lands latest shipping order. Officials
say that it is a fragrant violation Of
international law and of the rights Of
neutrals. Failure to specifically pro-
claim blockade, to be maintained by
ships of war off Germany's seaports,
is declared to make the order in
council" as issued in London, dis
tinct violation of the treaty rights Of
the United States with both France
and England.
LONDON, ENG. - The British for
eign Office delivered to Ambassador
Page its reply to the American note
proposing to Great Britain and Ger
many the withdrawal of the German
submarine blockade provided England
would permit food to reach German
civilians. Great Britain's reply is an
absolute refusal.
Great Britain has thus struck her
promised blow against Germany By
issuing an order in council she thrOt-

The decree practically declares a
blockade of the German North sea
coast without using the precise term.
This is contrary to all precedents,
which require the presence of block
aiding warships.
Restricts Neutral Countries.
To complete the program of starv-
ing out the kaiser the government
laid certain drastic restrictions on
neutral commerce. These are designed
to prevent Germany from exporting
or importing any commodities through
Holland or Scandinavian countries on
the Baltic sea, the waters of which

The blockade is effective at once.
Expects Strong Protests.
The government expects strong pro-
tests from the United States, Holland
and the Scandinavian countries, whose
commerce is hit hard by the order in
council made public today The Brit
ism reply will be that drastic action
of an unprecedented sort was made
necessary by Germany's violation of
ali principles of international law in
torpedoing unarmed merchantmen.
Furthermore, assurance was given
that ample protection will be given
neutrals in the British prize courts.

Aston Curtin and Grace Bowles. the
