Bremen Not Lost,
But Tends U-BOats,
Stockholm Hears
Newspaper Says Subsea Liner
Never Started for United States
Report Branded Ruse

Stockholm. Feb. 2l.-The German
merchant submarine Bremen was not
lost, and the report of its failure to
reach America was deliberately planned
for the purposes Of mystificstiOn, sc-
ccrding to the "Aftonblsdet."
This newspaper says it learns that a
letter received by German sea captain
who is now visiting Sweden asserted
that the Bremen was never intended for
trips to the United States. but, on the
contrary, from the beginning was 10 be
USED as a supply vessel for armed SUB
marines.
The Brepen has fulfilled and still is
fulfilling Der duty Of furnishing oil,
food, shells and other necessaries in
a manner which enables fighting sub
marines greatly TO extend their radius
OF action and prolong their time at sea.
The Bremen's base was not given, but
the "Aftonbladet's" informant is quoted
az having said that sit is nearer than
you think" and that the departure Of
the Bremen for the United States was
a strategem designed to send Entente
ships on Wild goose chase.

u. S. Reserves Judgment
On New Blockade Ruling

Washington, Feb. 2l.-Although in
formed of the modification of the terms
of the British blockade, as promulgated
in London to-day, State Department
officials are reserving judgment upon
the subject until the new order can be
studied. On its face it appears that
to-day's announcement is intended TO
assert unequivocally the right of prize
courts TO condemn q neutral vessel, with
her cargo. if the latter is of enemy
origin or is bound for an enemy coun-
try.
The original Order in Council of
March 10, 1915. allowed considerable
latitude in the disposition of such YES
sells and cargoes, and while ships bound
directly TO and from German ports with
their cargoes were deemed subject TO
confscation after the expiration of the
period of grace the same rigid rules
were not applied to neutral ships car
rying goods bound to or from Germany
or Austria through adjacent neutral
countries.
The practical effect Of the new order
is expected TO be to throw into prize
court at once many ships and cargoes
which heretofore have been subject TO
detention. Nut not to condemnation.
The United States has refused TO rec
ognize the legality of the blockade
Orders in Council and has reserved all
rights under international law as in
terpreted here. Diplomatic exchanges
through which it is hoped eventually
10 clear up the whole complicated prob
lem and obtain repsration where Amer
lean property rights are involved yir-
tually are at a standstill just now.
