GERMANY PROTESTS ON
SHIPMENTS OF SEAPLANES
Objections Filed With United States State Department
Against Curtiss Company Supplying the
Allies With Such Vessels"

WAsitiNGToN, Jan. 2o.-The State De-
partment was confronted to-day with the
necessity of deciding whether in the In
depreciation of neutrality rules hydro
aeroplancs must be regarded as vesss's
Of war and therefore must not be shipped
from this country 10 belligerent countries.
The point was raised in a note OF pro-
test sent 10 the Department to-day from
the German Embassy. asking this Gov
eminent 10 prohibit the further exporta-
ton OF Curtiss hydro-aeroplanes 30 the
Allies on the ground that they are ves-
sells Of war.
While the question will not be decided
for some time. officials admit that there
appears TO be much basis for the German
Amba doris position.
II was pointed out that the Treasur'
Department had recently ruled In the
operation of the tariff Law that a hydro
aeroplane was boat for the purposes
Of that law, This decision may make II
less easy for the state Department 10
contend to the contrary.
The following statement was given out
at the German Embassy to-day.
