BERLIN. Feb. -. (via London. 10
p. m.)-The American Identical note
on Marine warfare. sent by the United
States government TO Great Britain
and Germany. is now in the hands OF
Dr. Won Bethmann-Hollweg imperial
German chancellor. and Gottlieb Won
JaEow. the German foreign minister.
Who are examining carefully the var
ious proposals contained in Il.
The German government In not vet
ready 20 make statement regarding
the contents OF the note. but IL is
said that they may be regarded as
the basis for further negotiations.
Certain OF the proposals, as an exam
pie. the removal OF the mine fields
around England. probably will be IN
acceptable TO Germany. but IL Is
thought that Germany possibly may
make concessions on other points.
II cannot be said. however. that
there Is any great optimism in either
the German or diplomatic quarters
that Great Britain will accept any or
the proposals permitting the importa-
uon Of foodstuffs into Germany. The
German government, IL is said. Is not
counting on such concessions.
