Washington, Jan. 17.-Plans of the

blockade of German ports, it was
learned tonight have been the sub
ject of exchanges between diplomatic
representatives Of the Allies here and
in an informal way between the di-
plomats and officials of the state de-

here. The program cOntemplates a
virtual extension of the blockade to
the European neutrals by rigid appli-
cation of the ultimate destination
doctrine, and delay in putting the
plan into effect is attributed entirely
to reluctance on the part Of France
and possibly Italy to accept the Brit
ish right of belligerent in this re-
spect.
Expect Blockade Soon.
Application of the blockade to neu.

supplementing the opposition of the
