Rio Janeiro, Feb. 10. - The note
handed to the German secretary OF for.
eign affairs by the Brazilian minister
at Berlin In reply to Germany's deelar-
alton of the resumption Of unrestricted
submarine warfare was made publia
today. The text follows in part:
i have transmitted to my govern-
ment Your letter of Feb. g. in which
jyour excellency informed me of tho
resolution OF the imperial governments
to blockade Great Britain, its islands.
the littoral of France and Italy and the
eastern Mediterranean. nave nee, Z
directed to inform your excelleney eff
my government has a great sussire nor
to see modified the actual situation. 4
situation in which Brazil has imposed
upon itself the rigorous observance OF
the laws Of neutrality since the COM
mencement Of, hostilities between ma
relations.
Blockade Menace.
My government has always observ-
ed this neutrality while reserving to it
self the rights which belongs to It. and
the right to exercise action in those
cases where the Brazilian interest Is at
stake.
THE announcement Of the blockads
of wide extent Of country with which
Brazil is In constant economic rcla-
tons by foreign and Brazilian shipping
has produced a profound impression by
the menace which 1T contains of the
unjust sacrifice Of lives. the .uncalled
for destruction Of property.
Refuses Recognition.
In such circumstances the Brazilian
government, after having examined the
tenor Of the German note, declares that
1t can not accept as effective the block
ade which has just been decreed by the
imperial government Because OF the
means employed to realize this block
ade, the extent Of the interdicted zones.
the absence OF all restrictions. includ-
Ing the failure OF warning TO even neu-
trail menaced ships and the announced
intention of using every military means
of destruction of no matter what char
acter. such a blockade would be neither
regular nor effective. and contrary to
the military rules and regulations.
Holds Germany Responsible.
For these reasons the Brazilian gov
ernment, In spite of it's keen desire to
avoid any disagreement with the ma
tions at war with whom 1t Is on friend
ly terms, believes it to be its duty to
protest against this blockade - and
consequently to leave entirely with the
imperial German government the re-
sponsibility for all acts which involve
Brazilian citizens, merchandise and
ships. and which are proven In disre-
gard OF international law and the con-
ventions signed by Brazil and Ger

The statement attributed to DR.. VIII
liam Won Stun, German under secre-
tary for foreign affairs, that Germany
had detained Ambassador Gerard be-
cause Count Won Bernstorff had been
prevented by this country from tele-
graphing that he had received his pass
ports, was held as unauthentic by Sec
retary Lansing today.
Il doubt statement of that kind
he said Every convenience has been
placed before Count Won Bernstorff.
Whether he availed himself Of this or
not was his own responsibility. The
German government has been informed
in detail Of all events in this country
thru two sources, the Swiss minister
here, who has been empowered to rep
resent German interests, and the Span
ish ambassador In Berlin, to whom our
communications have gone'
Believe Original Program Unchanged
Secretary Lansing announced today
receipt of advices from the Swiss min
lister here that Mr.. Gerard, his staff and
nifty other Americans would leave Rar-
lin tonight for the Swiss border, where
he will be met by officials Of the Swiss
government.
A Berlin dispatch last night, which
said that Mr.. Gerard's departure had
been again changed and that he would
not leave Germany until Count Won
Bernstorff leaves this country has not
been confirmed thru official channels.
Absolute incredulity was expressed,
however, that the German government
would take such action.
An earlier dispatch had been re-
ceived from Minister Stovall at Berns
Of the expected arrival Of Mr.. Gerard
and Of his early sailing for this coun-
try via Barcelona, Spain.

for the departure on Wednesday OF
