convinced the German general staff
that it is wisest to adopt the defensive
in the Russian campaign while deliv.
ering another blow in the west.
II this rush comes the allies will be
prepared to meet it. During the last
few months a decided change for the
better has taken place in the forces
OF the allies, what with reinforce

felt keenly during the early stages oi

BERLIN FRAMING REPLY
American Note Subject of Exhaustive
Discussion Between imperial Az.
critics Concerned and the United
States Ambassador.

Berlin, Feb. 27.-The American note
to Germany and Great Britain on the
subject of foodstuffs for civilian popu-
lations of belligerents and submarine
activities at sea, copy of which was
handed To the German foreign Office
by Ambassador Gerard Monday night.
has been a subject of exhaustive dis
cussion for the past two days be-
tween the German imperial authori-
ties concerned and the American am
bassador. AS a result of this close
attention the German reply is gradual
ly taking definite form.
Newspaper correspondents have
been assured by a most competent
and reliable authority that the Ameri-
can proposals are regarded as con-
stituting a satisfactory basis for fu-
ture negotiations and that they are
themselves in many respects accept
able. Certain of the proposals, how
ever, will be subjected to more or less
important notifications.
Government circles have expressed
themselves as impressed by the
friendly spirit in which these propos-
ais have been advanced and the evi-
dent desire on the part of the Ameri-
can administration to reach solu-
ton of the difficulties involved In the
present methods of maritime warfare
to belligerents and neutrals alike.
Publication Is Delayed.
The American note probably will
not be published here until the Ger
man response has been sent forward,
but there is good reason to believe
that 1t deals with three principal sub
jects, namely, mine and submarine
blockade of coasts, the use Of floating
mines and the entry of foodstuffs for
civilian populations
1t is difficult to obtain any authori-
tative expression of opinion concern
ing the German point of view on these
points from any of the imperial gov
ernmental departments interested in
the negotiations, or to overcome the
censorship restrictions In treating of
this matter In news dispatches sent
out from Berlin by telegraph.
Judging, however, from a general
knowledge of German policy and in
tentions it may be said with conf
dence that little difficulty will be ex-
perienced, SO far as Germany is con-
cerned. in reaching mutual agree
ment for the discontinuance of float
ing mines. The attitude Of the Ger
man admiralty on mine planting along
hostile coasts, however, Is at the
present time unknown.
