OFFERS
FIRM PROTEST
Declares She Regards German
Blockade Decree as a
Lawless Act.

MADRID. via Paris, Feb. THE
Spanish Governments reply TO Ger
many's submarine war zone note Is a
firm and idignifed protest.
II declares that Germany's decision to
close completely certain sea routes is
outside the legal principles of interna-
tional law. 1t adds that II Germany
hopes to have Spain's help to avoid more
loss Of life 1t must be understood that
Spain, while ready at the proper time
TO take the initiative in support of the
establishment of peace, cannot accept
the legality Of exceptional methods of
war.
Spains answer was given to the Ger
man Ambassador yesterday.
The text of the reply follows:
His Maiesty's Government has at
ten,ively examined the note which your
serene Highness was good enough to re-
init to me thu Sfst OF January. in which
is set forth IN, German Governments
resolute intention to interrupt as from
the following day all sea traffic without
further notice and by no matter what
arm around Great Britain. France, Italy
and in the eastern Mediterranean.
II must say that the note caused a
very painful impression on the Spanish
Government The attitude of strict
neutrality which Spain adopted from
the beginning and has maintained with
loyalty and unshakcable tirmness gives
her the right to expect that the lives
of her subjects engaged in sea trade
should not be placed In such grave peril
at also gives her the right to expect
that that trade should not be troubled
nor diminished by such an increase IL
the extent of the zones in which tn.
Imperial Government insists that II
order to attain its ends II must use al
weapons and suppress all limitations
which it has hitherto imposed upon IL
methods of naval warfare
/ Even before the Imperial Government
had get aside these restrictions hi'
Majesty's Government chad protested
holding them insufficient to comply with
, the prescriptions OF internationa! mari
/ time law.
"But the methods Of war announced
! by Germany are being carried to such
an unexpected and unprecedented ex'
/ treme that the Spanish Government
considering its rights and the require
ments OF it's neutrality, must with still
more reason protest calmly but firmly

sumption of ineluctable responsibilitS
: which the Imperial Government assumes
principally in view Of the loss of lif'
which its attitude may cause.
His Majesty's Government bases il
D. protest. on the fact that the decision t.

SHARP ADVANCE IN
GERMAN EXCHANGE
Puzzlins Rise in Marks
Causes Report of Transfers
of Balances to Berlin.

A sharp rise In exchange on Germany
yesterday afternoon was accompanied by
a report that Germany was withdra wing
her balances In American banks and
transferring them to Berlin In expec ecta-
ton that the severance Of diplomatic re-
lations would result in war. Marks rose
from a low iir the morning of 81 to 7Gh
at the close, the latter figure represent
Ing the highest point reached by German
exchange In several weeks
The report met with instant denial in
all of the banking houses with German
connection. but 1t was admitted that
there was an unusually large demand for
marks. German balances In this country
are said to be considerably larser than
those of American banks In Berlin.
According to the story in the financial
district Germany has been liquidating
American railroad stocks on an exten-
sive scale in the last week. and 1t is the
opinion of many foreign exchange bank
ers that the proceeds from the sale of
these securities are being transferred to
Germany. Reports are also current that
Germany has been shipping large
amounts Of gold from this market to
South America.

GERMANS DEPORT RUMANIANS.
Able Bodied Men From 10 TO 87
Are Being Transported.

PARIS, Feb 1.-THE Rumanian Min
lister of Foreign Affairs telegraphed to-
day to the Rumanian Legation In Paris
that Germany has begun to transport
for internment in Germany all Ru-
manian males from 16 TO 81 years OF
age, although the French. Russians,
Italians and Portuguese protected by the
Spanish Legation are being left.
This treatment, 30 the Germans say,
reads the telegram, 'is because Rumania
gave up to Russia the Germans in its
power and these were transported
10 Siberia. 1t is absolutely false that
Rumania has ever delivered German sub
jects to Russia. 1t has not. then. been
possible for them TO be sent to Siberia.
"The German Government Itself counts
so little upon the pretext invoked that
before announcing its decision to trane-
port Ruman to Germany 1t proposed
TO The Rumanian Government the ex-
change of Germans interned in Rumania
for Rumanians in Belgium.
THE Rumanan Government can &c
nothing but protest against this new at
! tack upon its rights oy appealing to the
universal conscience, which at the proper
time will aid Rumania in exacting all
| the compensations due her"

 Could anything be more what can express it better than "devilish." than the ghoulish glee with which this editor gloats over the fact that our boys are to be debauched by drunken ness when they reach France?
 For example: One liquor paper in it's issue of October 1lth. had on it's front page a picture en- titled. Somewhere in France. said to be a French official photo.
