--ihe American Ambassador James
w. Gerard conferred last evening
with the German Foreign Secretary
Herr Won Jaspw. regarding the
American note. at the latter's re-
quest
Nothing has been made public re-
garding the conference. but 1t is
learned-that the foreign office is now
preparing an answer to the Americsn
note and the idea is entertained in
certain quarters that Germany may
suggest that the United States send
an American warshlp TO convoy
American merchantmen through the
danger zone, thus guaranteeing the
neutrality of the vessels.
BERLIN (via London), Feb. Il.
The Berlin newspapers continue
their comment on the American gov
ernment's note to- Germany concern
ing the provisions OF the German
admiralty's sea war zone proclama-
tion. The tone, Of the editorials
while generally of q determined
nature. is friendly. Conspicuous ex-
ceptions to the rule. however, are
furnished by Die Post and the Tager
zeitung. the former employing rathes
sharp phrases.
when something does not suit the
Yankees" says Die Post. cthey are ac-
customed to adopt as threatening and as
fftghtful sabre-rattling tore as possi-
bile. They reckon that the person thus
treated win let himself be frightened and
give In. II this does not come 70 pass.
however. II the person thus treated and
threatened with the strongest expressions
pays no attention and shows that he is
not scared and WIN not let himself be
driven into a state OF funk. the swagger-
ing Yankees calm themselves soon and
quiet down"
Die Post complains that the United
States did not protest against the British
declaration OF the North Sea as war
territory that Is to say. they are IN
benevolent agreement with England, but
make threatening protest against iis.
II the North American government would
shown England. the entire present note
with it's threatening tone would be super
flucus"
Count Ernst Reventlow, the naval ex-
pert. in an article In the rages zeitung
says the full text Of the noto gives fur
ther ground for his criticisms OF satur-
day. He declares that the request Of the
United States that ships be searched be-
fore further action IL taken against them
shows that the people in Washington
do not or will not comprehend the mean-
ing OF the German measure"
I'VE have so often demonstrated
Count Reventiow continues. ''the impos-
sibility Of search that we can merely
refer TO our earlier remarks. Washing
ton must know this and therefore the
demand OF the note for a search and the
establishing OF the Identity OF neutral
merchantmen amounts de facto to non
recognition OF the German declaration
respecting war territory"

prominent among the causes to
which the present plight Of the company
is due says the statement. are unre-
muncrative freight and passenger rates.
heavy increase In taxation and wages,
many burdensome e rements imfosed
by public authorities and large invest
ments In the securities OF other rail-
road companies which. although they
ma have been justified at the time they
were made. have since become unpro-
ductive. The amount invested in such
securities aggregates about $40, 600, 900
and entails heavy interest charges. with
no counterbalancing income from divi-
dends or interest"
The stock and the 4 per cent. gold
loan bonds and the 5 per cent refund
ing bonds must bear the brunt of the
reorg anization. The Missouri Pacific
and the Iron Mountain properties are
to be united by consolidation or sale
without foreclosure. or the readjustment
may be accomplished by the foreclosure
OF existing MORTGAGES and the utiliza-
ton OF any existing corporations or the
formation OF a new one. or several. for
the recognized property.
There is every reason to hope that.
with the prompt cooperation Of the Sc
curity holders. the readjustment can be
accom- pllshed in a comparatively short
time say the statement by Kuhn,
Loeb & Co. The property Is In good
physical condition. The present man
agement has sone far in rega!ning for
the company the good will Of the public
in its territory. The system is not bur-
dened with Improbable leases and no
large sum is required in the near future
for rehabilitation or the acquisition OF
additional property.
with Its financial structure suitably
rtadJusted and its credit reestablished.
and with progress toward the restora
tion OF reasonable rates, the Missouri
Pacific should In normal times earn =
fair return upon the securities provided
for In the plan Of readjustment. The
gratifying r~ecoenition, which is becom-
ing more and more general, that the in.
terests Of the public and the railroads
are identical, Justifes the hope that In
the task OF revitalizing the Missouri
Pacific system the directors and read.

support of the communities 1t serves
and Upon the cooperation OF the public
