Greece and Turkey at Odds.

London, Feb. 18.-The relations be.
tween Greece and Turkey apparently
are becoming more strained. Although
Turkey has offered reparation for the
insult to the Greek military attache
at Constantinople, it is reported that
the Greek minister has left the lega.
ton in charge Of an attache, being
dissatisfied with the Turkish attitude.
The Turkish minister has also left
Athens. This is believed in some quar-
tiers to be the first step in the rupture
OF diplomatic relations between Greece
and Turkey.

KAISER WILL DIRECT
SUBMARINE BLOCKADE

London. Feb. 19.-The Daily Mail
correspondent says he learned from
Hamburg that the belief prevails there
that Emperor William is going to
Helgoland personally to direct Ger
many's submarine blockade. The
wheat shortage in Germany, the CORE
spondent adds, was concealed until
the last moment for fear of discourag,
ing the people. 1t is much greater
than has hitherto been believed Ger
many will only escape famine by a
narrow margin.

FRIENDLY TONE OF NOTE, HOW
EVER, GIVES HOPE OF UNDER
STAND ING AS TO NEU-
TRIAL SHIPPING.
WILSON AND BRYAN READ
COPY WITHOUT COMMENTS
Holland and Scandinavian Countries
Are Apprehensive Concerning Sit
uation and Have Consulted
United States-Look for
Removal of Causes.

Washington, Feb. 20. = Germany
reply to the American note of warn
Ing against any attacks on American
vessels or lives in the new sea zones
of war served to increase, rather than
to diminish the concern of officials OF
the United States government over
possible complications. The friendly
tone of the communication, however,
made favorable impression and gave
some hope that an understanding for
the protection of neutrals yet might be
obtained.
Officials Are Apprehensive.
Officials were apprehensive over the
formal statement in the note that Ger
many disclaimed all responsibility for
what might happen to neutral vessels
venturing in the danger areas. The
additional warning, too, that mines
would be laid by Germany in the
water surrounding Great Britain and
Ireland, was regarded by them not
only as menacing to ships carrying
legitimate cargoes, but as likely to add
further to the Interruptions which
American commerce has suffered since
the outbreak of the war.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan read the press copy of the Ger
man note, the official text being de-
layed in transmission. 1t is expected
made at either the White House or
the State Department the feeling of
grave concern was manifest.
That other neutral countries, espe-
cially Holland and the Scandinavian
countries, also are apprehensive con-
corning the situation and have con-
suited the United States has become
known. While there is no under
standing implying joint action, if any
neutral vessels are sunk the Washing
ton government has made it plain that
1t is in accord with the steps already
taken by other neutral powers, copies
of their notes and representations hav-
Ing been furnished to officials here.
Await Note From England.
Secretary Bryan refused to reveal
what steps the United States would |
take if American vessels or lives were |
lost.
1t was intimated in some official |
quarters that the United State is look |
ing for the removal of some of the |
causes of the present complication in |
the forthcoming answer from England |
to the American note concerning the |
misuse of flags.
1t was pointed out that if categorical |
assurances were given by Great Brit
ain and her allies that none of their
vessels would be permitted to fly the
American or other neutral flags, the |
safety of American vessels in the war
zones would be guaranteed and Ger
man submarines would be obliged to
visit and search neutral vessels for
contraband before destroying them as
prizes. In this case, it was added, the
dangers for neutral vessels laden with

GUNS AT ITALIAN FRONTIER
Austria Concentrates Troops Along
Tyrolese Passes-SWiss Soldiers
Act as Interpreters.

Geneva, Switzerland, via Paris, Feb.
19.-Austria has been concentrating
troops for the last ten days on her
Italian frontier. The men are chiefly
artillery men and their guns have
been emplaced at favorable points
dominating the Tyrolese passes.
Swiss, Italian and Austrian soldiers,
are close on one another on the lonely
three-corner frontier of the Alps at a
height of from 5000 to 5000 feet and
frequently fraternize in the deep snow
The Swiss soldiers usually act as in

Germany is as good as cut off from
her overseas supply by the silent or
protesting federation Of neutrals.
| Great Britain is, with the liberation
of neutral governments, not only sup
piled with such goods as are not con-
traband, but with goods which are re-
| garded by Great Britain if sent to
Germany, as absolute contraband.
|
The German government feels itself
obliged to point out with the greatest
| emphasis that traffic in arms, esti-
is being carried on between United
States firms and Germany's enemies
If it is formal right of neutrals to
take no steps to protect their legiti-
mate trade with Germany, and even to
allow themselves to be influenced in
the direction of the conscious and
wilful destruction of their trade, on
the other hand they have the perfect
right, which they unfortunately do not
exercise, to cease contraband trade,
especially in arms, with Germany's
enemies.
The German government is resolved
to suppress the importation of war
materials to Great Britain and her
allies, and she takes it for granted
that neutral governments, which so
far have taken no steps against traf-
ticking in arms with Germany's enc
mics, VIII not oppose forcible oppres-
sion by Germany of this trade.
Germany trusts that the neutrals
who so far have submitted to the dis
advantageous consequences of Great
Britain's hunger war in silence, or
merely registered protest, will dis
play for Germany no smaller measure
of tolerance, even if German measures,
like those of Great Britain, present
new terrors of naval warfare.
NeutraIs, in safeguarding their rights
in legitimate commerce with Germany
according to international law, have,
up to the present, achieved only in
results, while they are max !
ing unlimited use of their right by |
carrying on contraband traffic with |
Great Britain and other enemies.
Germany is ready to deliberate with |
the United States concerning any
measure which might secure the safety |
Of legitimate shipping of neutrals in
he war zone.
