DODGE SEA MINES
New Yorker, Who Chartered the
Vitalia. Passed Ninety
Feet from One.

Frank Boulton, president of the Fed
eral Forwarding Company, who char
tered The Norwegian steamer Vitalia
and sent il to Rotterdam with a gen.
eral cargo, returned from Europe yes
terday on the Holland-America liner
Potsdam, after chaperoning his vessel
through the mines in the North Sea.
The Nitalia was stopped by the Eng
lish and taken into Falmouth. Mr..
Boulton went 10 England and obtained
the release of the vessel after three
weeks delay.
"The trip across the North Sea was
thrilling. Mr.. Boulton declared. ave
passed one floating mine with only
ninety feet of water between il and
our steamer.
1--WE sighted the English steamer
Rauma, blowing off steam and backing
up. and at first we believed her 10 be
sinking. Later we learned she had
run into a nest of mines. Two were IN
front, Joined together by a wire, and
both would have exploded against the
sides of the vessel had II not been for
the sharp sight of the lookout. When
the Rauma started 10 back away three
more mines were seen near her stern.
The captain had 70 DO lot of clever
manpuvring. | tell you, to get clear"
The Potsdam was the first steamer
coming here TO report an encounter
with English submarines. The day the
vessel left Rotterdam two were seen.
The Pctsdam and the fghting craft
saluted b. dipping colors. The subma-
rines. passengers said, were the "93"

AMERICAN PROTEST
STILL UNPUBLISHED
Note to Great Britain Not Likely

"Wednesday.
[By Cable to The Tribune. ]

London, April 2.-The announced
plans for the publication of the Amer
lean protest against Britain's modified
form Of blockade have gone awry. The
note Is in the embassy, but at late
hour last night had not been delivered
at the Foreign Office. 1t is understood
that il was the State Department in
Washington which suggested stimuli
taneous publication to-day in the two
countries. but on account of the alb
sence of Sir Edward Grey from London
and she Intervention of the Easter Holt
DAYS the Foreign Office has suggested
a postponement, in which Washington,
IL is expected, will acquiesce.
The Foreign Office now suggests pub

GERMAN JOKE IN HARBOR
Liner, Thought To Be in Sea
Dash, Just Changes Piers.

Excitement prevailed along the North
River front yesterday and for o half
hour eyes were turned toward the
docks of the HamburgAmerican Line.
The Pisa, which has been loading with
coal and provisions for several days,
was seen to cast off her hawsers to the
pier and aided by three tugs swing
out into the stream.
"She's going to make dash for the
OPEN" was the incredulous comment of
those who watched the steamer as her
nose swung about in the tide and
pointed toward the Narrows, not far
from which British cruisers are sup
posed to be lurking.
The Pisa fingered in that position
several moments, as if the skipper was
taking advantage of the date to play a
little joke on observers. Then the tugs
swung her back again, not to the north
side Of the pier, where she had been
resting, but to the opposite side, where
the President Grant was tied. The
Pisa came alongside of the other
steamer and was made fast. The sig
nifcance of the move was unexplained.

WILSON DENIES
NEUTRALITY TALK
Frenchman Sends to Paris
Erroneous Report of
Conversation.

Washington, April President Will
son tonight authorized the state
ment that he had given no interview
and hal given no expression OF opln,
ion about current affairs TO Gabriel
Alphaud, who cabled his newspaper
"Le Temps" Of Paris, what purportec
TO be an interview with the President
knowledge of the fact that Nj. Al
phaud had sent a cable dispatch 70
Paris purporting TO quote the Fresi'
dent came tonight in the form Of an
Associated Press dispatch repeating the
gist Of the Applaud article as 1t ap-
peared in "Le Temps" The dispatch
is in part as follows:
Paris, April 1.-Gabriel Applaud
secretaire general of ole Temps" who
was introduced TO President Wilson at
the white House on Wednesday by
the French Ambassador in Washington
has sent to lie Temps" an interview
he SAYS he had with the President.
"The two groups Of belligerent ma
tionals complain of the attitude of the
American government in equally Wig
orous terms" President Wilson is
ouotcd as having said. each time one
of these cases arises, is il not proof
that the government of the United
States is eonscientiously observing the
rules of neutrality?
"The Germans or the Allies may at
times find that We are exacting-that
the American government sticks too
closely to these rules. The war will
not last forever. When il is finished
such or such nation will perhaps be
glad that we have maintained the rules
against which she protests to-day.
France will avoid the error of be-
lieving what individuals Of the peoples
In the conflict often think; that is, that
he who is not actively for them is
against them. A sto my own senti-
ments regarding France, ! addressed a
letter TO the President of the French
Republic that expresses them clearly.
Be sure that do not think anything
less than what that letter says"
VI. Applaud says he asked President
Wilson if the contemplated increase in
the American army and navy had any
precise object and that the President
replied:
ed rather than hurried by current
events. We desire to avoid false in
terpretations."
The letter referred TO by M. AL
phaud, il is understood, was delivered
three weeks ago to President Poincare
by Colonel Edward NJ. House, who is
in Europe observing conditions. The
letter. it is said. was read to the
French Cabinet, upon the members of
which it made an agreeable impress
sion.
