WILL NOT RELEASE PRISONERS
England Still Holds Germans Taken
From the Liner China

By the United Press AssUciations.
WASHINGTON, April 4.-England
has refused to release the Germans ta-
ken from the liner, China. The re-
fusal makes a sharp issue between
and America.
The same point has been in dispute
over a century, and was partly the
cause of the war of 1872. Though she
has previously surrendered aliens ta-
ken from American ships, England has
never admitted the fault.
