Germany has declined to alter her
position in consequence of the Ameri-
can note concerning the war zone de-
cree, although expressing the most
friendly feelings towards this country.
The German reply, a summary of

that Germany cannot abandon her DO
sidon in view of the attempts of Eng
land to cut of the food supply OF non
combatants and recommends that the
United States send warships to pro-
tect American vessels passing through
the danger zone.

BERLIN, Feb. 18.-(Via London

State embassy under the direction of
Ambassador Gerard and has been

The note explains that Germany's

ing to cut off the food supply for the
German civil population by a method
never recognized in international law.

declaration by belligerents opposed to
Germany. If this were done, the note
