UNOFFICIAL REPLY Of GERMANY
!. TO THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

world with war program which was
nothing but a declaration that the
entente was continuing the war for
conquest. Our peace offer was made
despite the fact that we we're holding
every military advantage We took
this action because our war was one
of self defense. The entente refused
to entertain our offer, leaving us no
other way than the way now adopted
I'VE hoped that the American pub
lie would see that this action was
justified and we still so hope, believ-
ing this because we are sure that the
American people, If they were simi-
larly cornered, would do the same in
self defense. For this reason we are
not ready to abandon hope that peace
between the United States and Aus
tria-Hungary will be maintained.
1--WE still believe that President
Wilson's high aims are reconcilesble
with our motives. because this meas
ure is necessary II Austria-Hungary's
people are not 10 paus under the rule
OF governments which in their last
note shed the last ray Of decency and
proclaimed themselves Is promoters

POWER TO SEIZE
SHIPS OWNED IN
UNITED STATES
PRESIDENT GIVEN AUTHORITY
TO TAKE OVER ALL VESSELS
AT HIS COMMAND
lBy Associated Preas.)

WASHINGTON, Feb s.~-A bill de
signed to place the United States on
a par with European nations in the
control Of its shipping facilities in
time OF stress was drawn up after a
conference last night between Secre-
tary McAdoo. Chairman Denman of
the shipping board and members of
congress. Today It was given ap-
proval by President Wilson and the
full membership Of the board It was
presented in. congress by Senator
Fletcher, chairman Of the senate
commerce committee and Represen-
tatiye Alexander chairman OF the
house merchant marine committee.
A feature. to which officials at
tach particular significance is pro
vision that the property to be taken
over may be seized without notice,
II the president believes the emer-
gency warrants it, though the federal
government thereafter shall pay the
person interested the fair value of
the property so taken, to be de-
termined by appraisers, one appointed
by the board, one by the person in
terested, and the third by the two so
appointed, the finding of such ap-
praisers to be final and binding upon
both parties"
For the purposes Of the act il is
provided that any shipping concern
a majority Of whose stock is held or
controlled by Americans citizens
shall be classed as an American
concern.

ny Associated Press.,

VIENNA, Feb. 3, via Berlin and
wireless to the Associated Press, via
Sayville, Feb. Sin an interview
given by a high government official
today to the Associated Press shortly
after the receipt of news that diplo-
matte relations between Germany and
the United States had been severed,
the following statement was made:
we had hoped that the American
government would take a different
view of our situation, especially since
we had waited more than a year
before a decision on the question was
reached, which was entirely a oour-
tesy on our part towards the United
States. During that time we had en-
tertained the hope that It never
would be necessary to give the sub
marine its full effectiveness, although
