DENIES LIABILITY
FOR NEUTRAL LOSS
Germany Not Responsible for
Destruction by Sub
marines.

London, March 16.-What IS ass imed
to be the attitude Of the German gov
eminent respecting liability for neu-
tra goods on British vessels sunk by
German submarines is set forth in an
article in the "K0lnische Zeitung,' as
teiegraphed here from Amsterdam. The
article deals with the rejection by the
Irize court at Hamburg of clui n for
compensation made by the owEcr Of
neutral goods on a British ship bound
for Norway, which was sunk by sub
marine.
The decision of the prize court" "
says the Cologne Gazette" "is oased
On the view that, according 70 the Ger
man prize law, no compensation can
lie claimed for innocent neutral goods

question Is not settled in Internal onal
treaties nor even in the DeclarauCn of

This statement, regarded as issuing

u. S. PROTEST FOR
INTERNED JAPANESE
From The Tribune Bureau }

Washington, March 16 Baron Chiuda,
the japanese Ambassador, called upon
Secretary Of State Bryan to-day to pre-
sent representations regarding allega-
tions of unfair treatment Of Japanese
subjects now within the Kaiser's do
main. He suggested that protests be
made TO the Imperial Foreign Office
that the japanese subjects had not re-
ceived the fairness and consideration
in Germany which had been extended
to German subjects in Japan.
Baron Chinda asserted that shortly
after Japan entered the war japanese
in Germany were at once incarcerated
and are still held in custody. The
same treatment was accorded to all
Japanese without regard TO class dis
tinction. At the same time Germans
and Austrians engaged in civil pursuits
in Japan have been permitted to fol-
low their civil avocations without en-
barrassing surveillance or restraint.
It is expected that the United States,
which has taken over the affairs OF the
japanese Embassy at Berlin, Will re
mind the Imperial Foreign Once OF
Japan's request for an equal exchange
of courtesies toward interned citizens.
The Japanese Ambassador denied that
he discussed the Chino-Japanese situa-
tion with the Secretary Of State.

"Since August, 1914, the press Of the

ALLIES GET OPTION
ON RUSSIAN WHEAT
Britain and France Will
Take Product-Demand
on America To Be Less.
fBy Gable to The Tribune ]

London, March 16.-To relieve the
Russian civil population the Russian
government has bought practically all
the wheat that can be exported from
the region Of the Black Sea, and should
the waterway be opened as the result
of the present naval operations OF the
Allies against Constantinople, the gov
ernment Will form special organlZa-
tion to transport and sell wheat. Great
Britain and France have the promise OF
an option on all exported wheat, not
only for the use Of their military, but
of the civil population as well. A high
official in the Russian commission here,
which has spent Sl50,000,000 with Eng
lish and American firms for supplies
for the Russian army since the begin
ming Of the war, said to-day TO the
correspondent OF The Tribune:
"Of course our business up 10 the
present has not been the buying of
food. There is plenty of that in Rus
sia. but ! suppose, should the Darda-
nelles be opened, our commissi,4 would
take over the transportation and the
selling Of wheat, though nothing is
definitely decided yet. Much more wheat
has been used in Russia this year than
in normal years, but owing 10 the fact
that all exports to Germany have been
stopped our exports to England and
France will be about normal.
"The Russian government has con-
troll of the largest part Of the wheat
now, and, besides, the people will have
TO depend on the government for means
of transportation. England and France
will naturally receive the first option
on wheat for military and civil pur-
poses heard that American wheat
dropped when the first activity occurred
in the DaI lanelles, but ! suppose il
will 20 back up when il is found that
Russian wheat will not affect the Amer
ican market"

Yesterday morning the embassy re-
ccivod from Valparaiso the following
cable:
~German cruiser Dresden, after hav-
ing destroyed an English sailing ship
on March &, was surprised by an Eng
Ish armored cruiser and pursued by
her from 8 o'clock in the afternoon.

tackled in shelter Of neutral waters.

ceived to prove the contrary we are en-
titled 20 believe that q second viola
tion of neutrality in waging warfare
