ROOT ASSAILS DEMOCRATS
Bitter in Denunciation Of Ship Pur
chase Bill.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Root
led the Republican attack on the ad-
ministration ship bill in the senate
with denunciation of the Democrat
ic caucus which made the bill party
measure.
The attitude of the Democrats he
characterized as "a conspiracy of ST.
lence" to put through the bill by
pressure on physical weakness"
For ten days, he said, the minority
had been compelled to do eight hours
OF continuous talking.
ut does not seem to me that this
bill, which would put the government
into the business OF foreign shipping,
Is receiving the kind of discussion il
should have" said he
mo such change in policy was con-
templated by the people when they
put the present administration in
power"

AMERICAN REPLY

Avoids Recognition Of Ger
man Rule in Belgium.
ARMY TO PASS ON CONSULS
United States Recognizes Right of

Work Of Commercial Representa-.
tives in Conquered Territory.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The United

many, which, without discussing the
sovereignty of Belgium, expresses a
willingness to make such arrange
ments as may be necessary with the
German military authorities. In de
facto control in Belgian territory, for
the continuance of American consular
service there.

could be construed as a political rec.
ognition of Germany's control OF Bel.

The decision OF the United States
has been awaited by Central and
South American governments, who
instructed their diplomatic represen.
tatives here to discuss Ii In the Pan
American union. The note from the
German foreign office, sent identical.
ly to all neutral governments, an.
nounced that the exequaturs, or GER
tificates of authority. of all neutral
consuls, had expired"
Not Political Representative.
In it's reply the United States de-
clares that 1t considers a consul not
q political. but "a commercial repre-
sentative" who derives permission to
do business, irrespective of his legal
right, from the authorities in direct
control of the district to which he is
assigned. In view of the German mil
itary occupation, the United States
further asserts that 1t is not inclined
to question at this time the right OF
Germany to suspend exequaturs."
The language OF the American note
reveals that this government consid
ers the exequaturs originally issued
by the Belgian government to have
been suspended" and not expired
as characterized in the German com
munication. This construction Is In
acord with similar phraseology used
by the United States on previous oc
casions.
While not questioning the German
governments military occupation, the
American note presumes that the
American consular officers at Brus

ally agreeable to the German authori
ties. II they are not. the communica
tion asks that the Washington gov
ernment be informed.
