Washington, Feb Is. German Am
bassador Won Bernstorff presented a
note to the state department today IN
which Germany reiterated her request
for neutral shipping to avoid the war
zone and take the track around the
north of Scotland. The war z6'e de-
cree was characterized in the note as
ga measure Of retaliation against Eng
land."
The note declared Germany has in
formation that British merchantmen
are being armed preparatory to sail
ing in groups, in an effort to sink
German submarines with bombs and
other weapons. 1t contended that, the
circumstances, it would be out of the
question to stop and search o vessel,
the only recourse being to fight.
English ships are planning to use
neutral flags in the forbidden area, the
note added. As neutrals consequently
will be endangered, the request that
they be diverted to the northern route
was repeated.
The note declared that Germany
would modify her war zone decree
when England stood ready to recognize
international laws, which, it was de,
elared, she was now ignoring. Am
bassador Won Bernstorff again sug.
gested that the United States endeav-
