U. S. PLANS PRISON
CAMP INSPECTION
Grew Tells Commons American
Officials Would Keep in
Permanent Touch.

London, Feb. Sir Edward Grey,
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs,
announced to-day in the House Of Com
mons that the American government
had submitted scheme whereby
American officials would keep in per-
manent touch with commsndants Of
prisoners camps in Germany and Great
Britain, and, through the commandsnts,
with committees appointed By the pris-
oners, with a view to improving the
condition of the prisoners. Sir Edward
promised to make a further statement.
The Foreign Secretary's announce
ment was made in reply to question
of Lord Charles Beresford, who asked
whether a member of the American En-
bassy In Berlin had been nominated by
Germany to inspect the camps in Eng
land, and whether Great Britain would
nominate a member Of the American
Embassy staff In London to inspect and
report on conditions In the German
camps.
Sir Edward Grey said that, although
some camps in Germany already had
been visited by an American official,
more satisfactory results could be OBJ
tanned by the scheme proposed by the
American government.

Germans Capture Mile Of
Trenches, Report from Berlin

Berlin, Feb. (by wireless 10 Say
Vile. \. Y.).-The announcement on
the progress of the war given out to-
day by the German General staff says
the Germans, near Massiges, have been
successful over the French. occupying
their positions for more thai a mile
and capturing over 800 men. They
claim also success in the fighting on
skis In the Vosges. The text OF he
communication follows:
Yesterday saw nothing more than
artillery engagements on the front
from the North Sea as far as Rheims.
Further French attacks near Perthes
were repulsed, with losses TO the en-
envy.
German forces yesterday delivered
attacks at points north and northwest
Of Massiges and to the northwest OF
St. Menehould. They stormed three
lines of French trenches, one behind
the other, and occupied the principal
French positions for a distance of two
kilometres Il is miles,. All the
French counter-attacks. which were
continued during the night, were re-
pulsed. We took prisoners seven Off
GERS and sol soldiers and we captured
nine machine guns, nine other guns OF
smaller calibre and much war ma
terisl.
"In the middle Vosges there occurred
yesterday the first encounter Of Ger
man troops mounted on skis with
French chasseurs. The outcome was
successful for US"

SAYS SUBMARINES
HAVE BASE IN SEA

Simon Lake, inventor OF the Lake
submarine, rs confident that Germany's
efforts to blockade England will be
successful.
There is no doubt in my mind that
the Germans, with the thoroughness
for which they are noted. have pro-
vided for submarine provision bases
in strategicsl locations far removed
from home ports. A simple contriv-
ance in the bow of submarine will
make it possible TO take on provisions
and supplies under water. A recently
perfected apparatus will make it pos
sible TO renew the air in a submarine
by the introduction of oxygen under
water without making IL necessary for
the submarine TO come TO the sur
face"
Mr.. Lake believes that the whole
British coast is surrounded with such
submarine bases of supplies, where
German boats will be able TO replen-
ish their stores and take on new
equipment.

GERMAN ACTION HELD
AS BEYOND PRECEDENT
Washington Regards Declaration of War Zone Around
British Isles as Without Basis in International Law
and as Warranting Vigorous Protest.

Department accepts the notice with
reference 10 the French ports as SINH
lar 10 the warning issued by Great
Britain regarding the waters Of the
North Sea.
The German announcement regarding
the waters surrounding the British
Isles and contiguous to the coast of The
Netherlands differs materially from
either Of these warnings. It suggests
the danger to neutral ships proceeding
from the inability Of the commander of
a submarine TO be sure that the flag
flying from a vessel truthfully an
nounces her nationality and placing on
each ship the obligation to look out for
herself as against attack.
If the presidents established by the
United States are followed and the
traditional policy is adhered to pro-
test against the decree Of the German
government will probably be forth
coming from Washington, for in nu-
merous instances the United States
has denied the right of wholesale
blockade.

The European coast from the Elbe to

same basis as trade with a blocksded

Other trade was 10 enter Brltish
ports and 20 clear therefrom under
such regulations as might be estao-
lshed. The possession Of French con
sular certificate of origin which
would protect against capture by
France. was considered proper grounds
for CAPTURE by Great Britain.
Napolcon's Milan Decree OF December
Il. 1907. was issued in reply to these
Orders in Council. The American en-
barge acts followed. These were
favored by Great Britain and France,
but proved disastrous to United States
commerce. The Orders in Council OF
1907 we're extended and modified; an
order Of April %, 1909, extended the
restrictions 20 Dutch ports. On Janu-
srv %, 1912, the Orders in Council
we're conditionally revoked. but too
late 70 avoid conflict with the United
States.
The Berlin Decree OF November q,
1906, which formulated the Continental
system. declared the British Isles in
a state Of blockade and prohibited all
commerce and correspondence with
them. 1t was justified by Napoleon as
retaliatory measure against the
orders in Council, on the ground that
Great Britain ignored the principles
Of international law. For nine months
its precise terms we're kept from the
American government, which, after pro-
testing without effect, resorted to the
embargo act.

GERMANS WARNED
BY The PRESIDENT
CLERGYMAN Told They
Should Stop Foment-

Prom The Trouns Bureau. J

Washington, Feb. 4.-"Think OF
America first" was the purport OF the
advice given to-day by President Will
son to the Rev. DR.. Frederick Bente,
of ST. Louis, who called at the White
House as the representative of Ger
man-American organization seeking
the enactment of legislation establish
ing an embargo on arms and munitions
Of war.
The President indicated to DR.. Bente
that the activities of his own and sim
liar organizations Of Americans OF for.
eign birth or parentage along this and
similar lines were A source of embar-
rassment to the administration. He
was kindly in his criticism, but the
clergyman was made TO understand
that enough had occurred already in
the form of mass meetings OF sympa-
thizers with one element or another
Of Americas foreign born population
to give the President and his advisers
serious concern.
The President put his remarks to DR..
Bente on the highest ground of pa
triotism and urged upon him the ne
cessity of private individuals and or.
PLANTATIONS alike observing a policy OF
non-interference with the conduct of
the American government in its diplo-
matte relations.
The specific measure which DR..
Bente is seeking TO have passed, and
regarding which he appeared before
the Senate Committee on Foreign Re-
lations yesterday, provides for an EN-.
barge on the shipment Of arms and
war munitions of every sort, and with
Great Britain and France holding the
mastery Of the seas would tend TO OPP
crate against the Allies to the great
benefit Of the two Teutonic empires.
High officials of the State Department
have expressed the opinion that as
such a measure was not enacted at the
outbreak Of the war, its enactment at

At the Office Of the French Line a

had an abundance of faith in the abil-
ity of the French and the British navies
to protect their vessels from German
attack, and that their schedules would
not be changed.

This was the answer made by Karl
Peterson, one Of the local representa-
tives Of the Scandinavian. American

the northerly course anyway. instead of
going through the Channel, and the
