by Switzerland presents a serious dan
ger in the matter of our provlsionment
in food products and in raw materials,
as well as with respect to our exporta-
tions over the sea.
"Even if by friendly agreement with
the French government the utilization
of the port Of Cette exempted from the
blockade, is rendered possible, maritime
transport would be restrained to de-
gree which would cause sensible injury
to our national economy.
"The maritime blockade by the
government of the German empire fol
ows series of measures taken during
the war by both parties of beliggerents
in opposition to the law of nations and
international agreement by which our
liberty Of action in economic matters is
already restricted, and against which
we have vainly raised our voices.
"In such circumstances this blockade
is all the more pressing and more
weighty with consequences. The federal
council sees itself, therefore, obliged tc
protest energetically and to make al
reservations against the blockade an
nounced by the imperial government ant
against its realization so far as it vio
lates the rights Of neutrals recognized
by the general principles of interna
tional law, in particular where the eff
fective application of the blockade ap
pears incomplete.

hopes that the rights of neutral states
will be respected and that the said
measures will not be carried out. II,
contrary to expectation, this protest be
ineffective, China will be constrained
to its profound regret, to sever diplo-
matte relations. It is unnecessary to
add that China's action is dictated by
a desire for further peace and the main
tenance of international Law"
A communication explanatory Of
China 5 action also was handed to Dr..
Paul s. Reinsch, American minister to
China. 1t follows:
"China, like the president of the
United States, is reluctant to believe
that the German government will ac-
tually execute measures which imperil
the lives and property Of the citizens Of
neutral states and, jeopardize legitimate
commerce and which tend, if allowed to
be enforced without opposition, to in
troduce new principles into interna-
tional law. China, being in accord with
the principles set forth in your excel
lency's note and firmly associating itself
with the United States, has taken simi-
lar action by protesting energetically
to Germany against the new blockade
measures. China also proposes to take
such other action in the future as will
be deemed necessary for the mainten.
anee of the principles of international
law"

AS WAS SEEN IN A DREAM
British Soldier Wounded in Battle and
Brought to Safety by
Big Maori.

Many Northumberland stories are
told of how sweethearts and wives
have been warned by dreams and
telepathy of impending danger to
loved ones at the front. One of the
most vivid stories on record is related
by a young lady whose iance was
recently wounded, says London Tit
Bits.
Almost as soon as she fell asleep
one night she dreamed that she saw
her flance in the trenches preparing
for raid. In her dream she saw him,
with many others, climb out Of the
British trenches, cross No Mans Land,
and enter the enemy's lines. Her
dream became confused for mo-
ment and then quite plainly she saw
him climb on the parapet of the Ger
man trench and fall forward wounded.
A big man came up, took the wound
ed man on his shoulder, and carried
him back to the British lines. The
young lady awoke feeling very
alarmed and the next day wrote to
her f1ance for news.
A few days afterward she received
a letter from him in hospital, stating
that on the night of her dream, about
midnight, he was one of a raiding
party, composed of English and New
Zealanders, and was wounded whilst
standing on the top Of the German
trench. A big Maori carried him back
to the British lines, exactly as the
young lady had pictured In her dream.

days Ambassador Won Bernstorff is ex-
pected to be aiding in his home land to
keep the peace between the two nations.
The neutrals themselves appear to fear
Germany, hence are acting cautiously,
they win make every effort to prevent
the eonfice that authorities regard as
destined to come sooner or later.
Conveys and perhaps issuance of guns
for defense Of merchant ships are the two
most likely necessary precautions" " that
has been suggested and considered by the
president. However, his closest friends
say he has not spoken his mind on this
point.
In addition, should he be forced to

the navy be placed at his disposal fo1
coast patrol work, as well as for convoy
tasks. In addition If real war were al
hand, he might ask conscription law, OF

whipped into shape for actual foreier

GOVERNMENT IS ANXIOUS WITH
POSSIBILITIES AHEAD.
NO MOVE TO RAISE AN ARMY
ts Anxious to Keep Up Martial Spirit
In Anieriea-WlII Be Up to Ger
many to Declare War.

Washington-The administration, fear
ing that ultimately war, or Estate of
war, with Germany must come, is anx-
iOus to keep alive the martial spirit in
America. 1t wishes to guard against
the sapping influences of an undue sense
of security. On the other hand, there Is
no manifest move to raise an army for
actual war though there has been some
progress made toward naval and econom-
ic preparedness.
This epitomizes the government posi-.
tion at the close of one week of broken
relations between the United States and
Germany. It finds much of the neutral
shipping ordinarily plying the Atlantic
shiverind in homo ports; Germany has
slain ship travellers in an apparently
indiscriminate sea war and shipping has
been destroyed at the rate of eabout
throe-quRrters Of a million tons monthly.
With terrific possibilities ahead, the
government is anxious lest peace prop
agandA--and the absence of war--shall
lull the nation into an unjustifable calm.
1t has prepared itself for internal diff
nculties, and there is talk of an army of
half a million with seme discussion OF
various forms Of military service.
, Thus far, however, these ideas have
not crystalized into actual action.
Insofar as an actual declaration of
war is concerned, as il was expressed
officially at cabinet meeting, that will
be upon Germany's responsibility.
The president himself has determined
to follow the literal wording of his recent
speech to congress-to ask only for the
means Of protecting American seamen :
and peoples lives. He will place upon
Germany the burden Of any actual dec
laration of war.
Meantime the work Of neutrals to stav,
on war between the United States anC
Germany continues; while in another tel

Peking.-The note handed to the Ger

tion of the resumption of unrestricted
submarine warfare, has been made pub
lie. The text of the note follows: 1.-THE
new measures of submarine warfare in
augurated by Germany are imperiling
the lives and property of Chinese citi-
zens even more than the measures prev
iously taken, which have already cost
China many lives and constitute vio-
lation of international law. The tolera-
tion of their application would intro
duce international arbitrary principles
incompatible with legitimate inter-
course between neutrals and between
neutrals and belllgerents.

cally to Germany against the measures

"The federal council gives notice in
advance of all legal reservations if it
happens that the means put into effect
by Germany and her allies are applied
to the destruction of Swiss interests or
property. The federal council, however,
does not doubt that the government of
the empire will do all that is necessary
to assure in the measure possible the
security of Swiss interests and spare
the painful consequences which could
arise from the blockade for the eco
nomic life of the Swiss"
The same note, adds the correspon-
dent, has been addressed to the govern
ment of Austria Hungary.
