(By Review Leased Wire. ]

BERLIN. Feb. 12. (by wireless to Sayville)-'Torpedoed Without Warn ing" Under this headline the Nord Deutsche Zeitung is quoted by the Overseas News Agency as saying:
 When the English government in the fourth month of the war, that is, November 3, 1914, declared the whole North Sea a military area and thus put into practice an absolutely new zone it then expressly warned all neutral ips-'merchantmen of all kinds. merchantmen from all districts, fishing vessels and other ships against entering the prescribed zone, as they would be exposed to great danger from English mines. and Eng fish men of war.
 "The German declaration with re- spect to the barred zone on February l, 1917, which followed the English declaration, announced exactly the same thing and pointed out that neu- tral ships entering this zone would uO SO at lhcil ONh iiohr NAoNNis aS ui ready had been set forth in letter by British minister to a Dutch min ister-vessels may do so al theid own risk"
 The newspaper declares:
 "The German sea forces have never torpedoed without warning since the sinking of all ships without previous particular warning occurred in a war district, which had been declared as dangerous" and adds, ''the same can not be said of England. since British submarines have repeatedly attacked and sunk steamers by torpedoes out side the sea war district and without warning
 The paper then gives the list of vessels alleged to have been sunk by the British. as given out by the Ger man secretary of foreign affairs, Dr. Zimmerman, early last December and some alleged to have been sunk un- der similar conditions in the Mediter- ranean.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.- Germa- ny's proposal for a reafiirmation of the old Prussian-American treaties of 1799 and 1928, with list of added clauses to modernize and extend pro- visions in relation to treatment of enemy citizens in case Of war, has been forwarded from Berlin to the state department by pr.

 This is the proposition that Amtas- sador Gerard refused to consider when relations were broken.
 The document. submitted in French is being translated for the considera- tion of President Wilson and Secreta- ry Lansing.

 The communication was receiv- ed here with expressions of ming led amusement and gravity in Of ficial quarters. There has been no decision tonight as to the American governments response, but the prevailing opinion was that Secretary Lansing would re- ply promptly and briefly, refer ring to the futile effort of Presi- dent Wilson to bring about peace, and pointing out that under eX- isting conditions an embargo on exports would be a breach of neutrality. Among entente diplo- mats Carranza's action was de- nounced as another evidence of German influence in Mexico and as d further effort to becloud the issue and embarrass the United States in the situation resulting from Germany's new submarine campaign.

United States Flatly Turns Down Germans Proposal That Situation be Discussed Before Further Action.
SUGGESTION REGARDED
 UTTERLY INSINCERE
President Must Decide Wheth- CT or Not American Mer- chant Ships Shall Be Equip ped With Navy Guns.
(By Review Leased Wire.) )

WASHINGTON. Feb. 12.-The Un ited States has fatly rejected Ger many's offer to discuss difficulties be- tween the two nations while the ruth. less submarine campaign is in prog. ress.
 In a note today to the Swiss minis ter, who on Saturday presented orally the German proposal, the United States government refused to discuss the negotiations pending the submar- inc campaign, unless the German gov ernment renews its assurances of the fourth of May Cthe Sussex motel and acts upon the assurances.
 The state department made public the secretary's reply, together with a memorandum. which on MT. Lahsing's suggestion. Dr. Ritter, the Swiss min ister. had prepared last night setting down in writing the suggestion origi- nally transmitted orally. Previously officials had declined to confirm the announcement by The Associated Press Saturday afternoon that such a proposal had been delivered by Dr. Ritter
 In view of the fact that the United States has taken the most vigorous course possible short of war to de nounce the ruthless submarine war iare, officials of the government re- gard the German proposal to nego- tiate while the campaign is in prog ress as utterly insincere. From the first the government has looked upon and resented it as piece of propagan da designed to becloud the issue and put the United States into a false po- sition of belligerency.
 The question of whether navy guns shall be provided for American ship owners desiring to arm their vessels for defense against submarines has been submitted to President Wilson by the state and navy departments It is understood that the state depart ment. the governments spokesman on international problems. has recom- mended that the guns be provided.
 There is said to be no authority un- der which the navy department can actually supply the guns, though there are precedents for the loaning of wea- pons under bond for their return. Un- der existing law only condemned guns and stores can be sold by the navy.
