tral rights by Great Britain and her
allies making unnecessary an offer by
Germany to return TO the maritime
rules Of International law if the Al
lies did likewise. Although without
definite information there is a dispo-
sition in well informed quar- :ers to
believe that the President who re-
turns to Washington will withhold
any contemplated representations to
England until Germany's reply is re-
ceived, because Of q desire'to obtain
frank understanding with the latter
country On the points raised in the
American note without conplicating
them with the situation as between
the United States and the Allies.
II Is known that for several weeks
there have been under preparation two
notes eventually to be sent to Great Brl-
tain. one dealing with the general subject
Of contraband as q consequence OF the
correspondence begun on Dec. 26, with the
first American protest, and the other en-
bracing general representations On de-
tentions OF vessels plying between neu-
trail ports carrying non-contraband
American goods
Secretary Bryan said To-Day that from 20
to 80 ships had been detained by the AL
lies most of them carrying cotton.
Comments Of the German press confirm
views expressed here that Germany will
disavow any intention Of destroying
American lives, contending that all
would have been saved but for explosions
in the ammunition cargo. In this con-
nection attention, was directed in Ger
man quarters here TO statutes Of the
United States which make 1t unlawful
ITO take, carry or have on board any
such steamship Or other vessel any nitro
glycerine, dynamite or any other explo-
sive article or compound, nor any vitriol
or like acids. nor gunpowder, except
for the ships use. nor any article or
number Of articles, whether as cargo or
ballast, which by reason Of the nature
or quality or mode of storage thereof
shall, either singly or collectively, be
likely to endanger the health or lives of
the passengers or the safety Of the YES

TN this attack the enemy employed
vast quantities of poisonous gases and
our soldiers and our French allies were
utterly unprepared for this diabolical
method of attack which undoubtedly had
been long and carefully prepared"
Advises Use Of Gases
Earl Kitchener at this point announced
the determination of the Allies to re-
sort to similar methods of warfare
1.-THE Germans" said Lord Kitchener,
have persisted in the use Of these as
phyxiating gases whenever wind favored
or other opportunity occurred, and His
Majesty's government, no less than the
French government feel that our troops
must be adequately protected by the en-
ployment of similar methods SO as to re-
move the enormous and unjustifiable dis
advantage which must exist for them if
we take no steps to meet on his own
ground the enemy who is responsible for
the introduction Of this practice
Gallantry Of Canadians
The secretary spoke Of the gallantry of
the Canadian division which defended its
position tenaciously notwithstanding the
poisonous fumes.
This was an ordeal to try the qualities
Of the finest army in the world" he said,
land all the more credit is due the SOL
diers Of Canad, who, unprepared for such
an attack and exposed to a whitening fire,
reluctantly and with perfect steadiness
withdrew their left flank to conform to
