REPLY tn THE POPES PROPOSAL
PRACTICALLY DECIDED LAST NIGHT

regarded as making it certain that
there can be no acceptance.
Much of the uncertainty here sur
rounding the preparation of the
American reply has arisen from the
fact that the major part Of the ne
gotiation upon this subject has been
conducted in foreign capitals through
American ambassadors. In the early
stages some attempts we're made by
the entente diplomats in Washing
ton to ascertain the probable nature
of the American reply. But these
we're generally unsuccessful. mo-
from any disposition on the part o
the officials of the state depart
ment TO deny their confidence to tn
foreign representatives. but for tn
reason that until he had develope
the views Of the entente chancellor
les president Wilson was maintain
ling an open mind on the subject.

place indirectly goods shipped from
neutral countries to Germany. Some
administration officials even favor
stopping food shipments to neutrals
where the food is used to feed
workmen engaged in manufacturing
war munitions for German use.
Assumption by the United States
of the burden of maintaining the
blockade Of Germany, in so far as II
applies to shipment of American
goods, gives this nation an addition
al responsibility Of which the Brit
ish have sought to be relieved ever
since the United States entered the
war. The duty Of preventing goods
shipped from neutrals other than
European from reaching Germany
will continue to be Great Britain's.

no formal blockade against Ger
