The Severance Of Diplomatic
Relations with Teutonic
Powers May Come.

PEKING. Feb. 9.-CDelayedD-
The note handed to the German min
lister by the minister OF foreign at-
fairs, In reply to Germany's deClara-
ton of unrestricted submarine war
fare. was made public today The
text OF the note follows:
The new measures of submarine
warfare inaugurated by Germany arc
imperilling the lives and property Of
Chinese citizens even more than the
measures previously taken, which
havo already cost China many lives
and constitute a violation of intornu-
tlonal law.
China. therefore. protests cner-
gentiCally to Germany against the
measures proclaimed on February l.,
ana sincerely hopes that the rights of
neutral states will be respected and
the measures will not be carried out
If. contrary to expectations, this pro-
test be ineffective, China Will be con-
strained. 10 it's profound regret, TO
sever diplomatic relations II Is un-
necessary to add that Chlna's action
is dictated by a desire for further
peace and the maintenance of inter
national law"
A communication explanatory Of
China's action also was handed to
Or. Paul s. Reinsch. American minis
ter to China. 1t follows;
"China, like tho president OF the
United States, is reluctant to believe
that the German government Will
actually execute measures which inn
peril the lives and property OF the
citizens OF neutral states, and leopard
lie legitimate commerce and which
tend, II allowed TO be enforced without
opposition to Introduce new principles
into international law. China, being
In accord with the principles set forth
in your excellency's note and firmly
asserting itself with the United
States. has taken similar action by
protesting onorgetically to Germany
against the new blockade measures"

SWISS GIVE TEUT0NS WARNING
Federal Council Makes Ener-
getic Protest Against the
Blockade Ruling.

PARIS. Feb. 1O.-Q1. p. m Tho
Swiss federal council, in its reply to
the German note on the new subma-
rine campaign, enters an energetic
protest against the announced
blockade and reserves all the rights
of Switzerland as Il neutral, accord
ing to the Havas asency's Berne cor
respondent.
After referring to the German gov
ernmcnt's communication upon the
augmentation of maritime warfare,
the Berne advice states, the council
declares that the imperial govern
mont cannot fail to recognize that
the measures announced by this om-
pire constitute an attack upon the
right of peaceful commerce which, in
conformity to principles OF interna-
tonal law, belongs In quality to the
Swiss.
"All ports susceptible to being uti-
li2ed by tho Swiss present serious dan
ger for our provisioning with food
products and raw materials, as well as
for our expectations overseas.
"The federal council sees itself,
therefore, obliged to protest energet-
ically and to mako all reservations
against the blockade announced by
the imperial government and against
its realization so far as 1t violates the
rights OF neutrals recognized by tho
general principles Of international,
law, in particular where the effective
application of tho blockade appears
Incomplete.
The federal council 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 pain
ful consequences which could arise
from the blockade for the economic
life of the Swiss"
The same note adds the cores
pondent. has been addressed TO the

SEEKS MORE LARGE SHIPS
Federal Board Shipping Wants Govern
mcnts Army Transports for Service.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE fed
eral shipping board has taken its first
practical step toward rehabilitatlng
American marine commerce by asking
President Wilson to turn over to II idle
army transports for service in the
coastwise trade between Atlantic and
Pacific ports thru the Panama canal.
In a letter to the president made pub
lie today. Chairman Denman points
out that nearly all of the American
built vessels which have been plying
in this trade have been withdrawn for
more profitable charters or sold to
foreign flags, and asks that available
vessels that can be spared from mill
tary uses be transferred to the board
at the earliest possible moment
The board seems particularly de-
sirous to get certain obsolete foreign
built transports which the war depart
ment has been authorized to sell There
are two such vessels, the Meade and
Crook. The Crook, of $500 tons, is
being used in connection with the
Alaskan railway. and the Meade, of
s. 400 tons, is idle at Newport News.
