BRITAIN IN TERROR,

Suspension of Ocean Traffic
Draws Ironical Comments
From Berlin Newspapers.

BERLIN, Feb t7.-Berlin newspapers
today print in prominent positions dis
patches telling Of the suspension Of water
traf1c by Dutch and English steamship
companies. They make no comment on
the Dutch compeny's action, but refer
sarcastIcally TO the English firms.
England apparently intends TO let neu-
trail shipping take the risks" says the
Tages zeltung. but It is very careful to
protect its own. Has II so little conf
dence in its navy that II is afraid TO let
English ships traverse the war zone?
They have good reason to be terrified
Germany has made no threats that 1t has
failed to carry out. our submarines are
ready for the test. We know what they
can do"

submarines but philosophically remarksi
Tho Losses of tho enemy will more than
offset ours, however. We shall be ready

With Public Attitude-Re-

BERLIN, Feb. 1.-THE Lokal Anzelger
today printed an interview with Ambas-
sador James W. Gerard, which is taken as
hint that Minister Gerard is dissatisfied
with the treatment accorded him in Ger
many during his tenure OF office The
article follows:
Ambassador Gerard described to a rep
resentative of the Lokal Anzelger the
incident of the evening of February 8,
when he and some friends were ocupy-
ing box at the Winter Garden, Berlin's
music hall. The Ambassador and his
friends were conversing in English, when
suddenly man in an adjoining box arose
and said in a loud voice: The talking of
English in German theatre must be
described as a provocation. Although
this man was at once informed that II
was party of Americans speaking Eng
lish he still protested, and finally the
whole house took sides against the dis
turber, who was then Obliged to apologize
to the Ambassador"
Ambassador Gerard added TO the re-
porter:
81 have no luck In Germany. ] came TO
Germany great admirer of the country
and the Kaiser. Otherwise I would not
have accented the post. My friendship
for the country and the people has hardly
been encouraged since / came to Ger

English declaration of war was an
nounced as was leaving the British EN-

warfare the Count will see his Illusions
vanish and fade into thin air"
What effect has the war had on the
construction and equipment of aero
planes?"
Actual practice has led to many
changes, just as Pegoud's upsdedown
flights did. but the changes that have
been made must, of course, remain secret
until after the war is over. There is no
doubt, however, that the aeroplane Is a
distinct acquisition"
How about the claim of Count Zeppelin
that one of his aircraft will be the first
to cross the Atlantic?"
Utterly absurd. An aeropane will be
the first to cross although 1 will not at
tain my ambition to be the man to pilot
one. You know one soon loses the knack
of flying, and for myself l only take TO
the air now to test out new Inventions"

U. s. WILL NOT DISTRIBUTE
FOODSTUFFS TO GERMANS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE principle
was announced by the State Department
that this Glvernment could not undertake
to supervise the distribution of the food
stuff cargo of the Wilhclmlna under
American consuls or agents in German
territory without the consent of the
belligerents."
This apparently disposes of Germany's
proposition to the United States designed
to prove It's good faith.
The situation in Belgium and IN Ger

ment officials to be analogous. 1t was

WASHINGTON, Feb T-The tension
existing between tho United States and

was relaxed today by a reassuring word
from the White House that President
Wilson is confident the international situ-

The United States intends TO deal with

OF optimism that a German submarine
will never blow up an American mer-
chantman, despite the warning recently
issued by the German Admiralty. THIS

ZEPPELIN'S EFFICIENCY
IN OPERATIONS OF WAR
RTDICULED BY BLERIOT
Inventor of French Mono

ticability of Bulky Di-
rigibles Has Already
Been Demonstrated.

PARIS, Feb. H.
"The much-vaunted zeppelins are utter
ly worthless for purposes of war. They
are certain soon to disappear entirely as
factor In aerial navigation of any sort"
1t was Louis Bleriot, inventor OF tho
monoplane, who was talking. And he had
been carefully reading the interview with
Count Won Zeppelin, in which the German
inventor declared his great dirigioles
would be material factors In ending the
war. Bleriot, the first man to fly the Eng
llsh Channel in q heavier-than-alr ma
chine. is Frances chief consulting expert
In matters aerial. His big shops just
outside of Paris, are working night ana
day turning out machines for the FTench
army And in them he is incorporating
many things which, after the war Will
assure the future of the acceptance as a
commercial vehicle.
HANDICAPs TO DIRIGIBLEs.
"This war has killed the Zeppelins'' he
continued. "They are bound to disappear
entirely because they are impractlcable.
They are too bulky, too light, too frail for
such stern work, and are entirely at the
mercy OF the elements. The very fact
that they require a small army of attend
ants and the inability to provide the
necessary bases for them near the front
with monster sheds which are imperative
TO protect them against the weather Is
handicap that cannot be overcome
"As matter of fact, the zeppelins have
been entirely inactive In the present war
The small abortive raid on the British
ssacoast line does not count, inasmuch
as they failed TO accomplish single thing
of military value"

contemplated would have to be made at

DANGER IN SUBMARINES.

Then you consider the asroplans a far

that aeroplanss. nying swiftly and very
