You ask me TO send message to

three things
First. every single German and
Austrian is quite certain that We will
come ont on top. and will give his last
drop of blood to this end.
Second, we are convinced that the

Third, we expect from America
absolutely fair play in all questions
These are my personal ideas, bun
a good many of my countrymen feel

Government control of the food sup
plies in Germany.
This assurance was received in a
telegram sent by the Ambassador
from New York, where he now is. 1t
indicated that ii is the intention oil
the German Government to attempt
to distinguish beween food supplies
produced within the country and sup
plies brought in from the outside.
1t is assumed that the purpose OF
this distinction is to enable so far as
possible, Americans to send food sup
plies to Germany without being con
signed to the German Government.
Consignment to the German Govern
ment would furnish the British Gov
eminent with plausible grounds for
Selling all such cargoes
The State Department is still await
ing the text of the German decree,
which it has asked Ambassador Ger
ard to transmit and officials here are
not attempting to reach any conclus
ions with regard to the effect the &C
ton of the German Government may
have on the status of American ship
ments of food to Germany
1t is believed, however, that a case
will be promptly presented, as the
American steamship Wilhelmina is
now enroute TO Hamburg with car

eminent it is expected will seize her
and this will present a case necessita'
