BRITAIN IS WAITING
TO SEIZE THE DAC|A
Guarantees, However, to Pur-
chase Cargo or Forward 1t
to Rotterdam Without Cost.

Great Britain is waiting to seize the
Hamburg-America liner Dacia, when
she sails from Texas with cargo of
cotton, and take her before prize court.
The cargo will be purchased by the
British government or forwarded to
Rotterdam without cost to the ship
pers. as the owners may prefer.
This course of action by Great Brit
ain was officially declared through the
embassy here to the State Department
The State Department had communi-
Gated this information informally to
the owners of the Dacia as result
of a message from Ambassador Page
and was notified in reply that the YES
sci was loading at Galveston and would
put to sea. Notwithstanding the British
governments position. 1t was be-
lieved that the owners had resolved to
test the issue in a prize court.
Policy of Insurance Issued.
The war risk insurance bureau OF
the American government last evening
issued a policy insuring the cotton
cargo at 4 per cent, but declined to in
sure the vessel itself.
The statement from the British en-
bassy was as follows:
TN connection with the transfer OF
the I,acia from the German to the
American flag the British government
while anxious to avoid causing loss tc
the shippers of the cargo. have found il
impossible to agree that the transfer
in the circumstances in which it has
been effected, is valid in accordance
national law. If. therefore. the Dacia
should proceed to sea and should be
captured, the British government will
find themselves obliged to bring the
ship (apart from the cargo) before the
prize court
Announces Its Guarantee.
"It is stated that the cargo of the
Dacia is to consist solely of cotton
SO and if the vessel should be captured
the British government will guarantee
either to purchase the cargo at the
price which would have been realized
by the shippers if the cargo had reach
ed it's foreign destination, or, if pre-.
ferred, they will undertake to forward
the cotton to Rotterdam without fur
ther expense to the shippers"
This announcement concludes the
first chapter in negotiations which the
American government undertook OF
behalf of the owners of the Dacia tc
secure her freedom from capture. I'm
uer the ueciAIdlioI VI Aohuoi' d u ia.ie
fer of flag must be proved to be of
bona fide character, and not made
merely to escape the consequences OF
war.
Declaration by United States.
Soon after the war began, holding
that all of the parties to the declara
tion of London were finding loophole:
in the convention and amending it a
their own pleasure, the State Depart
ment announced that as far as the
United States was concerned, it wou1e
not be bound by those declarations
Consequently the American government
is operating under the general princi
pies of International law, which recog
nize bona fide transfers of ownership
of merchant vessels of belligeren'
power even in time of war
