MNEUTRALS' NOTES
Scandinavian Nations Make
All Reservations as to Loss

PROTESTS ARE IDENTICAL
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, February 14.-Reuter's Co
penhagen correspondent reports that
Norway, Sweden and Denmark have
handed to the German ministers identi-
cal notes protesting against the naval
measures taken by Germany and Aus
tria-Hungary, and making all reserva-
lions regarding the loss Of life and the
material damage resulting.
The following official communication
has been issued:
Tuesday. the 18th instant. the Dan
ish, Norwegian and Swedish govern
ments handed to the German ministers.
in their respective capitals, notes iden-
barring of certain sea zones announced
by Germany and Austria. The note be-
gins by recalling the fact that during
the war the governments have several
times found themselves obliged to for
mulate formal protests against serious
infringements of the rights of neutrals
involved by measures of various bel
1gerent powers. 1t then empha sizes
the fact that the governments, whose
actions on these various occasions
were, as always. inspired by the spirit
Of the most perfect loyal impartiality,
confined themselves to defending the
imprescriptable rights of neutrals.
Cite Previous Protests.
After pointing out that the govern
ments have on previous occasions pro-
tested against measures of belliger-
ents tending to restrict the free use of
the seas by neutrals. the note proceeds
to emphasize that the governments on
this occasion are all the moro bound to
maintain, in taking the same point of
view. that the obstacles placed in the
way of neural navigation are now more
considerable, in both extent and grav-
ity.
The note draws attention to the fact
that the only rules of international law
which might be invoked in support of
measures having as their object the
prevention of all commerce and all
navigation with the enemy are those
relating to a naval blockade.
The note affirms that no belligere 1T
has the right to prohibit peaceful nav
1gation through zones the limits of
which are very distant from enemy
coasts, which could be blockaded only
in legitimate manner. The governments
recall the universally recognized law
on naval blockade - namely, that a
neutral ship cannot be captured If it
is not making any attempt to violate
the blockade, and that in the event of
a ship captured it must be brought be-
fore a prize court, in conformity with
the general regulations.

Thinks Report Garbled.

Americans resident in Germany
should always bear in mind during the
present war that reports and informa-
ton reaching Germany must pass for
the greater part through cables and
censorships of nations waging war on
Germany. 1t is not to be supposed that
these nations will permit favorable re-
ports to reach the ears of Americans
residing in Germany or countries aliled
with Germany. We say without the
slightest hesitation that reports OF
every nature must be taken with a
grain of salt We cannot know definite
" what the situation is, and certainly
cannot know the intentions of those
who are at present at the head of the
government of the United States. 1t is
our belief that they do not desire war
with any nation in the world, and GER
tainly the traditional friendship of
more than 100 years between Germany
and the United States is a good guar
antee that these relatio should con-
tinue.
AT the present time we cannot see
any reason why Americans should be-
come alarmed or hysterical and neglect
or abandon their business. We know
there are many Americans in Germany.

TAXI RATES REDUCED.
Peoples Company Cuts Northwest
CHARGE to so Cents

Charge to SO Cents.
The Peoples Taxicab Company to-
day announced a reduction in its
rates whereby from one to four pas
sengers can mako trips within the
fire limits Of the northwest section
of the city for so cents.
This means that one passenger or
four passengers entering a taxicab
at the Peace Monument, which is
within the northwest section, can ride
to Both and NJ streets, to Spring road
on upper 14th street or Rock Creek
Church road on upper Georgia avenue
for half dollar.
This is an experiment we are
trying" said the manager of the com
pany. Most of the taXi-cab traffic
in Washington is in the northwest
section. and We wish to make an at
tractive rate so as to increase the
business"
The rate of so cents applies for
trips made for one, two, three or four
persons. The charge is no more for
four persons than one.
1t does not include trips from Union
Station to the fire limits, unless the
person engaging the taXicab enters
1t on the vest side of North Capitol
street. which is the eastern boundary
of the northwest section.

Of charge. This sounded mighty
good to the Owner and he agreed.
The Contractor, in his own crude
way, made such drawings and
specifications, but the Owner ex-
pected many things which were
not shown on the drawings, and as
the specifications were only an
outline, the completed building
cost over twelve thousand dollars
when ten thousand dollars should
have covered every item.
This was the case of duplex in
a very high class neighborhood.
The drawings called for a fireplace
and bookcases in each living room,
but when these were delivered
there was neither character nor
