BRITISH TO HOLD ONLY
CERMAN.OWNED BONDS
Will Decide by Last Coupon
Stub, Officials Say.

London, March 13.-The Foreign OF
fee has informed The Tribune CORE
spondent that no decision has yet been
reached as to whether German securi-
ties will be formally added to the con-
traband list. About s10,000,o00 worth
have been seized. They are now in the
Prize Court, but the Foreign Office is
arranging to give information.
The general rule which the authori-
ties are likely TO adopt is that II the
last bond bond coupon has been paid in
Germany then IL is a Germsn-owned
security which is being sent to Amer
lea to raise German credit and is in it
self wsrlke operation. But If the
bank in the neutral country whence 1t
originates is able to prove that the cou-
pons have been paid locally for some
time. then the security is presumed to
be of neutral ownership and to be re-
turnable.
The authorities here declare that in
nocent ownership can easily be proved
By reference 10 the banks which hold
any OF the detained securities.
Foreign Office attaches, in charge OF
contraband work say it is easy to es-
tablish German ownership. II Ameri-
can securities are forwarded to the
United States from Scandinavia and #
the stubs show that coupons have been
detached over the period OF year by
Scandinavian owners, the securities will
probably not be seized. But if the
stubs for the last quarter show that
they have been in possession Of Ger
man bank or other German holder, seiz-
ure will follow. The American govern
ment has not yet protested against the
seizure of securities, but Ambassador
Page has transmitted numerous inqui-
ries by American banks TO which de-
tanned securities were addressed.
While maintaining the right 70 censor
all mails, which, by coming through
England, enjoy the facilities of the
English postal system, the British gov
eminent does not undertake to examine
first class mails on seized neutral
steamers for anything except possible
merchandise.

Committees Want ROAD
Reorganized Without
Foreclosure.
RlJMOR OF MORGAN
CONTROL IS HEARD
Receivers Statement Indicates
Interest on Debentures Will NOT
Re Paid on Last Day of Grace.

Following the failure OF the hearings
in Chicago last week to bring c0ur1
decision regarding payment OF SooV'Voo
interest on the debenture 5 per cent
bonds Of the Chicago. Rock Island g
Pacific Railway Company, a series OF
conferences was begun in this city yes
terdav 70 forestall possible foreclosure
proceedings by the Peabody committee
representing holders of h"t ana re-
funding per cent bonds. and hasten
reorganization plan.
At yesterdays meeting were IN az
tendance representatives Of the Hay
den and Amster stockholders commit
tees. the debenture committee. the
hoard OF directors and Jacob NJ. DICK
inson, receiver. Henry P. Dawson also
attended for time, and his presence
revived previous rumors that J. P. Nor
gan & Co. might undertake the hnan-
cial rehabilitation of the Rock Island
An indication that the interest on the
debenture 80 will not be paid to,mor-
row, the last day of grace allowed ioi-
lowing the default two months ago,
WAS contained in q statement gwen OUT
by the receiver, which said;
Arrange for Deficiencies.
an view of the outlook for agree
ment on the terms of the reorganiza-
tion plan, It is not the intention OF the
debenture committee, II the interest IS
not paid on March 10, 70 take IN
mediate steps toward declaring the
- 81 lah
Receiver Dickinson's statement ex.
plained further that the Hayden ana
the debenture committees had pledged
themselves to arrange for any de-
fciency that might be necessary tor
the payment OF the interest on the
first and refunding As, due April l..
This was the move on the part OF the
holders Of securities junior TO the re
findings which Wall Street thought
might possibly prevent the Peabody
committee from affecting sale OF the
property at foreclosure. .
There has been wide difference OF
opinion between the Amster committee
and the Peabody committee over the
amount needed for a successful ROCK
Island reorganization. representa-
tive of the latter declared YESTERDAY
that $50 .OOO. 900 could easily be used;
Amster has said that s26,250, 900, by an
assessment of s35 a share, would raise
ample funds to put the company on
its feet and pay off current indebted
ness.
The refunding bondholders' commit.
tee believes that the best method or
reorganzing the Rock Island Is
through foreclosure proceedings. Rep
resentatives expressed surprise yester-
dav at the turn affairs had taken. Re
garding the Amster proposal for sSo
assessment. the assertion was made
from these quarters that maturing OBJ,
legations over the next month woul d
consume the greater part of the funds
raised from such a levy and would
leave nothing to improve the property.
The second conference of security
holders will be held to-day at the
Offices of Speyer g. Co.

CALLS MARJ0RIE'S ACT
"A SOUND, FINE THING
Mrs. A. ]. George Makes Strong
Plea for Preparedness.

That the woman who does not "raise
her boy 10 be Il soldier may be rais-
ing him 70 be a sacrifice, was the argu-
ment that Mrs. A. J. George, Of Wash
ington, secretary Of the National Sc
curity Aid, presented last night TO
more than one hundred business wom-
en- at meeting Of the Public Interest
League at The Fernery, % East Thirty
third Street.
"That absurd song first shocked me
into the realization that in our national
lack Of preparedness we are inculcat-
ing cowardice in an entire nation, /"
said Mrs George. "My friend, DR.. Wal
ton, writer Of several books, is going
20 write another. called Meanwhile
Marjorie Everybody else was in a
mere hysteria Of words when a little
girl over in Brooklyn had 10 come TO
the rescue, through the columns of The
New York Tribune. II was sound,
fine thing that the child should be try
ing 20 do something, not seeking an
emotional outlet in words, as the ma
tion has been doing"
Mrs. George said that she found In
Washington such a deplorable condi-
thought the trouble in Mexico was
heaven-sent 70 test the national weak
ness.
az they're 70 get preparedness, they
must get IL through US women" she de-
clared She added that President viii
son himself had voiced this opinion
when he had said that he had rather
know what was being said around the
hrcsides Of the United States than in
the cloakrooms of Congress.
81 should be ashamed Of my son IL
he didn't answer the first call for vol
unteers, but, nevertheless. we women
don't want 20 sec our mcnfolk need
lessly sacrificed" she said. THAT is
/ why training is so essential. The
I theory Of universal military service is
the one really democratic thing. The
great trouble with US Americans is our
absolutely defiant attitude toward law. +"
