Bob Shawkey will probably get
chance to face his former team mates.

Combined fleets OF U.S..
and kaiser COULD CURB
BRITAIN. Says German

Minneapolis, Mimi, Feb. IA sug-
gestion that the combined fleets of
Germany and the United States could
curb Great Britain in her arrogant
policy of controlling the seas, was
made here to-day by DR.. Bernhard
Dernburg. former colonial secretary of
the German Empire, in an address at n
luncheon of the Civil Association.
Through far-fung line of naval
stations Great Britain, he said, made
the world s shipping dependent upon
her will and through fortified points in
Canada and island possessions controll.
ed the entrance to the harbors of the
United States.
"The marvellous chain of British
fortified coaling stations block up alb
solutely the Gulf of Mexicb and the
Panama Canal he said. ''It com
mences with Bermuda, just about oppo-
site Charleston; the Bahamas, com
manding the straits between Key West
and Havana; Jamaica. the entrance to
the Caribbean Sea. And then YOU have
Barbados, Trinidad, etc, that ships from
the United States must pass on their
way TO South America. And it is not
much better ON the west side, where
the port of Vancouver and the whole
American west coast is skirted.
"While it may be said that the
world is doing now its open sea trade
on. British tolerance, there is the eer-
tainty that il can in future only do it
by British permission if the British
program of destroying Germany and
its fleet in long struggle is realized. -

SECRETARY BRYAN'S DENIAL
Says No Government Has Protested
Against Bill Pending in Congress
for Purchase of Ships
By associated Press.

Washington, Feb. l. Secretary
Bryan to-day formally denied that any
government had protested against the
bill pending in Congress for the pur-
chase of ships by the United Stataes.
Mr.. Bryan issued this statement:
No nation has protested against
the passage of the shipping bill and it
is not likely that any nation will or
would be since the bill does not neees
sarily raise any diplomatic questions.
1t is not proper for the State Depart
ment at this time to discuss the manner
in which the authority conferred by the
bill! or should be exercised We assume
that the authority conferred upon the
President and those who will be asso-
ciated with him in the matter win be
exercised properly and with due re-
gard to the nation s welfare -
In administration sources close TO
President Wilson it was reiterated to.
day that it is not the intention of the
administration to buy vessels under the
shipping bill which will cause friction
with belligerents in Europe.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan have taken the attitude that
the administration could be trusted not
to do anything to involve the United
States in international trouble. Friends
of the President stated to-day that it
could be taken for granted that no ships
of belligerents would be bought unless
arrangements were made.
