ENGLAND HAS THE RIGHT
Vessels Which Attempt to Enter Ports After blockade Is Declared Are Liable to Be Seized and Con. demned by Blookadng Powers.

Washington, Feb 27- Confirmation was lacking here tonight of the re port from London that neutral gov. ernments have been notified by Great Britain and her allies that a general blockade of German ports will be declared next week.
 The press dispatch to that effect aroused wide interest in official and diplomatic circles, however, as 10 the probable course the United States would pursue
 Authorities on international law aaree a 5elliserent has a right to blockade an euemy'a ports with @ competent force and that neutrals are bound 10 respect that right They divide such hockades into two classes. simple, or de facto, and pub lic
 The latter class is defined as one 'waere the investment is not actu. ally established but where also a pub lie notification of the fact is made to neutral powers of the government or officers of state, declaring the block ade
 Such notification, it is added by the same authorities, is considered binding not only a neutral state but also upon it's citizens. The result is to throw the burden of proof upon vessels seized while att ampting to en. ter bockaded port The blockade is held to be in force until formal no. tificaton of its withdrawal has been received
 The exact date of the issuance of the blockade notification, 1t is held, will be Of the utmost importance, since vessel sailing from a block aded port in ignorance of the fact that it has been bockaded has been held rot liable to condemnation.
 If the notification of the Anglo French blockade of Gercan ports is accepted by the United States gov ernment as in accordance with inter national law, it is assumed that for nal warning will he given American ship owners and shippers in a proc lamation by the president. Govern ment officials refused tonight to dis cuss the matter. but it was made clear that such notice, when receiv- cd would be subjected to rigorous Inspection as to it's conformity with international precedent
 It is noted here that the London dlspatch does not specifically desis- nate the proposed British action as q blockade and if the formal announce. ment observes the same distinction in terms. new problems may arise.

 The Dacia formerly was German owned but was purchased by an American who is said 10 have fur nished both United States officials and the British embassy with proofs tending to show that the transfer was made in good faith and that the former owners retained no interest in the vessel or agreement for her re- transfer at the close of the war, or any share in profits that might arise from her operatio-
