ear war. leather prices took some awful jumps. The
result was that in prospect could see for Spring

To Sound Neutrals.

washington, Feb. 1O.-The United
states government will sound the
reutral governments as to their view
OF a belligerent nation hosting the
flag OF neutral nation for the pro.
lection of one of it's vessels.
Pending the receipt of the opinion
OF neutrals on an incident such as that
OF the Lusitania and the receipt of in
formation from the British govern
ment setting forth the circumstances
under which the Lusitania made use
of the American flag, this govern.
ment will withhold representation to
Great Britain.
1t can be definitely stated that rep-
resentations will be made and that the
character of these representations ten
tatlvely has been decided upon. These
representations, however, will not be
IN the nature of a protest, but un-
doubtedly will set forth that the
American government views with dis
favor the use of it's flag by bellig-
erent nation for any purpose and un-
der any circumstances.
London, Feb. 1O.-The American
steamship Wilhelmina will have to

consigned to Germany.
The Stars and Stripes are FLYING
over the vessel and as yet no action
has been taken by the British govern
ment, but it is expected soon. The
cargo became subject to parliamentary
discussion in the Commons this aft
ernoon. The government was inter-
pollated as to its purposes in connec-
ton with the food supplies he Will
helmina carries, and was asked wheth-
er it intended to seize the vessel. I'm
der Secretary of Foreign Affairs
Primrose said an inquiry into the ma
ture of the cargo of the Wilhelmina
is now going on.
