BRITAIN AGAIN TO OFFER
EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS
Lord Cecil Criticises Germany's
Refusal.

London, July l4.-Lord Robert Cecil
told The Tribune correspondent to-day
that a further British proposal was
about 70 be made TO Germany through
the United States regarding the treat
ment Of interned civilians.
"The German reply to US was ex.
ceedingly involved" declared Lord
Cecil. "Our offers 10 exchange 1000 in
termed Germans for similar number
of British prisoners at Ruhleben was
declined on the ground that il was i'm
possible for them to make a selection,
though the note added that there was
no disagreement in principle. fail TO
understand how there can be any difti-
Guilty about a selection, but neverthe-
less we are making fresh offer.
"We propose that all interned per-
sons above the age of fifty be ex-
changed. This naturally is benefiting
the Germans more than us, because OF
our greater number of civilian prs
oners. We further offer to exchange
all those above forty-fve who are in
capable of active service. This again
is an advantage to Germany.
Lastly, we suggest that the remain
der of the British interned, which VIII
then number about 1000, be interned
in a neutral country. against a SIM
liar number of Germans chosen here.
II ought easily TO be possible 70 get
some neutral to make the choice.
hope this offer will be accepted
Lord Cecil added that the reports of
the conditions of military prisoners IN
Germany were also unsatisfactory.

MAN.EATING MACKEREL
BLAMED FOR RAIDS
Horse Fish Caught Off Seabright
Wrecks Boat.

A man-eating horse mackerel, meas
uring eight feet and weighing 675
pounds, was caught at Seabright, n. j.,
Yesterday in Captain John Webber's
fish pond. 1t took six men fifty minutes
10 land the monster. A final death
struggle stove in a side OF the boat.
Captain James Newman, mariner of
thirty years experience, believes that
many of the reported sharks" are
horse mackerel. "If shark does not
succeed in getting his enemy on the
first lunge he will retreat, whereas a
mackerel will continue the fight indeti-
nitely," explained Captain Newman.
Three hotels at Seabright have taken
precautions against sea raids by string
ing wire or cord mesh around their
bathing grounds. Guards have been
stationed beyond the breakers TO give
warning.
There has been a phenomenal run Of
striped sea bass in the Shrewsbury
River. 1t is supposed they have been
driven 10 inland waters by the hungry
sharks and mackerel.

WANTS u. S. TO LIMIT
FOREIGN SUBMARINES
Wharton Barker Against SUBJ
mergence Within Smile Zone.
[By Telegraph 10 The Tribune. J

Philadelphia, July 14.-Wharton
Barker, former Russian Financial
Agent in this country and trustee OF
the University of Pennsylvania, has
written to President Wilson, urging
the establishment of precedent on
the entry and clearance of foreign
vessels from American waters: lie
believes the government should make
a rule that no boat enter or leave
this country's jurisdiction, except on
the surface of the water, and that
submergence by any foreign vessel be
forbidden within the three-mlle limit.
Mr.. Barker explained that his course
was suggested by the thought that
one nation would have an advantage
over others if submergence is al
lowed to continue He said that the
fact that the Deutschland is German
and that the British are in control of
the seas has no significance. but that
the prohibition must apply TO all ma
tions alike, if the United States is to
remain neutral.

Neutrality Board Says
Submarine Is a Trader

Washington, July l4.-An advisory
report on the status Of the German
merchant submarine Deutschland. sub
mitted to acting Secretary Polk to-day
by the government neutrality board, is
understood to hold that the vessel is a
peaceful merchant craft and entitled
to all privileges as such.
Mr.. Polk received the neutrality
boards report jus tbefore he went to
the White House 10 attend the Cabinet
meeting. He intimated that a formal
ruling By the department would be
necessary only in case the submarine
had been found TO be a warship. The
neutrality board gave its advice after
considering the reports of navy and
customs officers. who made a complete
examination of the Deutschland.
Indications now are that the state
Department will make no formal an
nouncement concerning the submarine,
but that the Treasury Department Will
be advised to permit her TO clear and
sail from Baltimore whenever her cap
tain desires 10 start on his return voy-
age.

London, July 14.-The British For

The note says that the Allies adopted
the declaration at the beginning OF the

as the struggle proceeded it developed
beyond all previous conceptions owing
to the manifold scientific Improvements

wars. Il then became clear that the at
tempt made in times of peace by the
Declaration of London to determine the
principles of law and their application
failed to produce a satisfactory result.
"The Allied governments, forced 10

London, July 14.-According to in
formation gained to-day, the internal
political situation is likely to be ex-
ceedingly interesting in the next Tort
night. the Irish settlement and the
Mesopotamia situation furnishing two
questions of immediate interest to all

Lord Lansdowne's reply to Redmond

Irish situation. With the help of David

BUTCHER SHOP BLAST
LAID TO NEGLIGENCE
Urges Certificates for
Ice Plant Operators.

Negligence of the operator Of the ice
plant was, in the opinion of Coroner
Ernest C. Wagner. the cause of the
explosion of the ammonia tank Thurs
day in the butcher store at Macon
Street and Sumner Avenue, Brooklyn
Five persons were killed and the four
story building was wrecked.
The coroner announced yesterday
that he would hold an inquest Wednes-
day. He said he did not see how any
one could be held responsible, since
those who had had supervision were
killed
whoever was at the tanks turned
on the gas in the long pipe which ran
beneath them and lighted 1t without
turning on the water said Wagner
"The ammonia was vaporized, and the
absence of water TO neutralize the
fumes resulted in an explosion. The
plant was not faulty"
Fire Commissioner Adamson, IN a
statement issued last night, said that
every operator of an ice plant should
hold a certificate from the Fire De-
partment. He said he would recon-
mend an ordinance to this effect.
The Fire Commissioner believes the
explosion was due to the removal OF
the safety valve to let air into the
generator.

Paris, July l4.-For the first time
since the beginning Of the war the
people of France were encouraged to-
day to drop their stern attitude, and
Paris. bedccked in the flags of all the
Allied nations, resumed the smile for
which it was famous in ante-bellum
days. Bsstile day was celebrated with
oldtime fervor.
Although it used TO be the custom
for all who could to leave Paris on
July Ii. the rule was reversed to-day
and every one within miles of the city
rushed TO the boulevards to see the
demonstrations of JOY over the initial
successes of the Allied offensive. A
mammoth parade was arranged by the
War Department, and troops who had
become dear to French hearts were
brought back from the front to receive
the reclamation of the ropulace.
Early this morning infantry, cavalry
and marines assembled on the Esplan-
ade of Invalides. Rain poured down
for more than an hour. but an i'm
mense throng stayed to watch early
preparations for the parade. All
around the big square standing room
on ladders and pushcarts, from which
troops moving about as in big camp
among stacked arms could be seen,

Like large planted field seemed
the blue of the French infantry and the
khaki of British and Belgians. Ming

Algerians. the green of the Russians,
the yellow of the Annamites, touched
of here and there with the bright
brass helmets of dragons and cuiras-
siers.

soldiers tried to outdo each other.

WATCH FOR BRITISH
CRUISERS OFF CAPES
Captain Koenig Laughs at Re.
ported Plots to Destroy
His Vessel.

Baltimore. July 14.-The neutrality
of the United States and the three
mile limit must be observed, the State
Department has decided, and through
the Navy Department it dispatched
four torpedo boat destroyers yester-
day to patrol the coast off the Virginia
Capes.
Information had been sent to Wash
ington that Allied cruisers were watch
ing there for the submarine Deutsch-
land, which will start soon on its re-
turn trip. Fast British patrol boats
armed with guns powerful enough to
penetrate the thin hull of the Deutsch-
land are reported to be waiting TO
chase the undersea merchantmen.
simultaneously, came a report from
New York that the British govern
ment had employed four deep sea
divers to blow up the submarine as
she leaves the Capes. This report,
credited to British officer on fur

just outside the three-mie limit.

course accordingly

this is Captain Koenig's reply to Mayor
