AMERICAN FOOD VESSELS
EXEMPT, SAYS EMBASSY
German Ambassador Hopes England Will Not Force
Change in That Policy by Selling the
Wilhelmna and Cargo.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.--The situation
with regard to the German Admiralty
proclamation establishing q war zone"
around the British Isles was slightly
modified to-day with the receipt by the
state Department Of the official text re-
vealing errors in the text previously
published and a statement at the Ger
man Embassy declaring that 1t is not
Germany's intention ito modest or seize
American vessels laden with foodstuffs
for the civilian population OF enemy
countries"
The official text as received from
Ambassador Gerard shows that only
British waters are to be regarded in the
new danger zone, and that the route
north of the Shetland Islands, In the
eastern part of the North Sea and a
strip thirty miles wide along the Dutch
coast are not included in the area in
which the new German operations are to
be feared. The effect of this corrected
announcement Is to make II clear that
Germany intends apparently no interfer-
ence with the shipping If Holland, Den
mark. Sweden and Norway in passing
over its accustomed routes to and from
those countries. with the exception of
the routes through strictly British
waters
Amba ssador Gerard also cabled that
the German Admiralty has issued a
long memorandum IN explanation of the
proclamation This will be forwarded
In day or two and until its receipt the
United States Government will take no
steps I'm the matter.

officials here found most OF the Ger
man Embassy's statements 30 deal with
questions Of Importance chiefly to Ger
many and Great Britain. covering only
slightly or not at all the phase OF the
situation Of most vital interest to the
United States. In the statements ref
erence to the Wilhelmina a threat of
seizure OF all vessels carrying food to
England is seen. There ~ no doubt
that Germany is anxious to have the
United States take a vigorous stand
h. defence OF the Wilhelmina when that
vessel is seized. and II lis not doubted
that the reference to II in the embassy
statement is a warning that more
American trade will be lost II this Gov

fusal to permit the Wilhelmina to dis
charge her food cargo at a German
port.

Some Definite Plans.

The opinion still prevails here that
the purpose of the German announce
ment Is to secure If possible all the
effects Of bio kade, without under
taking what is impossible for Germany

blockade which could not be made effeC-
tive. Naval officers are of the opinion

the programme. 1t Is expected. will Ice
general offensive operations against
British shipping oy means Of sub
marines.
The statement issued at the German
Embassy to-day throws some light ON
Germany's probable intentions and the
manner In which she is to execute her
plans. The statement is as follows:
The German Ambassador has not re-
ceived instructions regarding the de-
cisiOn OF the German Admiralty hut aC-
cOrding to the text OF the decision the
following seems clear:
There is nothing new in the com
mun.Catlon made February by the
German Admiralty with respect to the
attitude Of the German imperial navy t.
ward ships Of the enemy or toward neu-
trail commerce. IL is absurd to describe
this as the proclamation of paper
blockade of the British Isles. The com
munication Is simply a statement OF
what has been since the beginning Of the
war the attitude OF the navies of all OF
the belligerent Powers toward ships OF
the enemy.
"A few months ago the English Ad-
miralty proclaimed the closing OF the
North Sea, the waters Of which are es-
sentialy neutral. Germany does not
profess 10 "los. even the English chan
mel to neutral commerce. and she does
not intend to modest or seize American
vessels laden with foodstuffs for the
civilian population of enemy countries.

KENYON
Threw A Scare Into The
Case Eleven
And Held Scientists To A IA
To 0 Victory

Gambler, Nov. 13-Kenyon threw a
surprise and scare into the "two-a.
week" Case eleven yesterday after.
noon on Benson athletic field and the
Scientists were willing to escape
with a IA to 0 victory.
Intent on accomplishing the defeat
of two conference elevens in a single
week, Case came here yesterday ex.
pecting little opposition and with the
intention Of running up a large score.
Within the first five minutes of
play, Kenyon carried the ball to
Cases two-yard line by the air route,
Schafer to Doll.
Three attempts were made to carry
the ball over and all failed. Schafer
fell back for forward pass, but was
tackled and the ball went into Cases
hands. This was Kenyon's best op-
portunity to score.
The first half ended with the ball
on Kenyon's five-yard line, Case hav-
ing taken it there by a powerful at
tack through Kenyon's line. Neither
team scored during the first half and
it resembled tie game.
The second half proved demoraliz-
ing for Kenyon. A crippled team at
it's best, it was forced to abandon the
services Of Van Voorhis, who played
so strong a game at guard. Case
started a battering attack, after re-
covering punt fumbled by Schafer
on the 25-yard line, and soon carried
the ball over for a touchdown. The
Case team later scored when Axtell
passed over Schafer's head and, in
recovering the ball, the latter was
forced into safety.
Cases second touchdown came
near the end of the game and was ac-
complished by driving attack on
the weakened Kenyon line. This
style Of play was resorted to by
Case as the only means of gaining.
End runs, proved futile for them,
while forward passes were not par
ticularly effective. Outweighing
Kenyon, they made their stand on
old-fashioned line bucks.
The work of Schafer in shooting
forward passes was feature. Doll
was the big ground gamer for Ken
yon with the exception Of Gregg, who
invariably netted yards in pinches.
Hense for Case was an individual
star.
