BRITAIN WILL HOLD
FOODS CONTRABAND,
ENVOY ANNOUNCES
Wilhelmina to Be Seized as
Result of Kaiser's Decree
Communicating All Pro-
visions.

WASHINGTON. Fob 2, --- Ambassador
Page, at London. today informed the
State Department that the British Gov.
ernment would seize the Wilmelmina
which sailed from New York recently
with cargo of food shipped by the w
T. Green Commission Company of St
Louis, to an American citizen in Ger
many.
Cone johnson, solicitor of the State De-
partment, declared that Great Britain
had ignored the guarantee of Germany
that the cargo would be used only for
German civilians, and had based its de-
cision on the ground that the German
Government had issued a decree taking
over all foodstufs, thus making food
absolute contraband.
of British to seize the ship virtually
meant the stopping of food shipments
from the United States to Germany.
Inasmuch as the wilhelmina sailed
from New York with a cargo OF food
stuRs consigned TO private individuals
in Germany before the issuance of the
German decree placing such supplies
under Government jurisdiction. the State
Departments understanding was that
Great Britain would reimburse the Ameri-
can owners for the full value of the
shipment,
1t has been made clear to the De-
partment that the British determination
to block further food commerce between
the United States and Germany is based
on the theory that there is no way of
telling, with distribution in the German
Governments hands, whatever the Ger
mans might say about 1t, that such sup
plies were not being used wholly or in
part for military purposes.
LONDON, Feb while IL is no secret
here that the British Government does not
at all like the transfer of German ships
to neutral flag, there is not the slightest
doubt that under certain circumstances
Great Britain will nnt object to the opera
ton at present of German ships under the
American flag.
Under no circumstances, however, will
Great Britain acquiesce in ships engaging
IN German trade, and it is in pursuance
VI this policy that the Dacia will pe
seized. Government purchase of ships is
regarded, despite the fact that Great
Britain will not object as something dis
.inctly advantageous to England's enemy,
out I'm American interests the British Gov
ernment Is willing to waive it's rights in
he matter.
