So far the British government has
made no announcement Of the nature
of the reprissls it will take against
Germany. The people are awaiting with
curiosity the suggestion which II IS
said President Wilson is making 70
Great Britain ard Germany.
The only announcement in the way
Of reprisals came tonight IN mes
sage from Paris; but this did not re-
fer 10 the war zone. II stated lhaI
the governments of Great Britain and
France had served notice on the Gov
ernor OF German East Africa that
naval blockade Of the German colony
will begin February 2S, and four days
will be allowed neutral ships IN wnlch

England's Anger Increases.
President Wilson is endeavoring TO
mediate an arrangement between Eng
land and Germany for an abandonment
of the threatened embargo on German
commerce on the part of the Allies and
the cessation Of submarine warfare on
Germany's part, as is indicated by
what il known Of his latest commn-
nication TO the two governments. AS
Germany blows up one helpless snip

grows hotter, the nation is IN no mood

ships may be lost, but the nation VII!

the government wished to do so. II
is virtually certain that the country
would not stand for a retreat OF TINS
character. However, there IS no lndl-

measures against German commerce
The note TO Britain is now under FOR
eign Office consideration, but there IS
little indication that IT will have the
eject of lettering government repri-
sails against Germany. The feeling
against Germany which naturally mas
been the essence OF the hostility IS
now more noticeably bitter than ever.
In the early days Of the war public
opinion was tinctured with the ideas OF
the Hague conventions and OF tradl-
tional chivalry, but now the feeling is
that Germany is not in the least de-
gree entitled 70 any Of the benefits Of
being an honorable antagonist.
