Gerard Charges Berlin
Used "Sandbagging" Plan

Copenhagen via London, Feb. 10
The attempt of the German govern
ment to negotiate through James W.
Gerard. who had retired as Ambassador
to Germany, desired concessions ana
pledges. was of a nature to lead Mr.
Gerard to characterize il in converse
tions with Foreign Office representa-,
tive as "sandbagging. He refused
even 10 transmit the text Of the con-
cesslons desired unless he was allowed
TO report in code--a privilege OF when
he had been deprived since the rupture
of relations.
incidentally, the same embargo on
embassy communications was EXTENDED
afterward TO telegraphing in open Ian
guage within the empire in an attempt
TO convey instructions TO American con-
suls: then 10 long distance telephones
used for the same purpose, and finally
TO letters TO the embassy, 20 the local
Berlin telephone service, and even 10
the use by the personnel Of local tele-
phones at nearby hotels.
Il is fair TO state, however, that as
soon as the latter restrictions were
brought to the attention Of DR.. Alfred
Zimmerman, the Foreign Minister, he
declared that they we're due to mis-
take of some overZealous minor official,
and the local telephone communications
of the embassy we're Immediately re-
stored and the embargo within the en-
pire was lifted. so far as 1t did not
apply to official communications.

GERMAN TREATY
PROPOSAL HERE
Copy of Document Gerard
Rejected Contains Many
New Demands

Washington, Feb. 12.-Germany's pro.
posal for a reaffirmation Of the old
Prussian- American treaties of 1893 and
1928. with a long list Of added clauses
to modernize and extend provisions re-
lating to the treatment of enemy rest
dents i'm case of war. has been trans
mitted formally to the State Depart
ment BIZ Or. Paul Ritter, the SWISS
Minister here.
This IS the proposition former AM
bassador Gerard refused TO consider
when the German Foreign Office, after
the United States had broken relations
sent il to him in the form of protocol
with tho intimation that if he did not
attach his signature Americans in Ger
many might be held as hostages to IN
sure good treatment Of Germans N
this country.
The document, submitted in French, u
being translated for the consideration
of President Wilson and Secretary Ian.
sing. Officials familiar in general
vav with it's nature said to-day that u
apnarentlv was so different from the
original treaties that it virtually would
constitute a new one. and strong doubt
was expressed that the United States
would enter into negotiations on the
subject.
AS il is understood now, coniirms-
ton by the Senate would be necessary
even IL the executive branch of the gov
eminent desired to agree to such a
protocol.
Most important among the new pro-
visions suggested by Germany Is one
expanding the exemption from seizure
in case of war between the two coun-
tries of merchants and their effects
into an exemption specifically mention
ing enemy ships which are in port at
the time of the outbreak of war, and
which either must be left free in port
or given safe conduct to their own
ports. presumably even in face of q
blockade conducted by hostile govern
ments.
Also. sections are added forbiddins
internment or restrictions upon the lib
erty or freedom of movement OF enemy
nationals, and reaffirming the old pro-
visions allowing merchants nine months
to close up their businesses and depart
guaranteeing the inviolability of pat
ents.
In part the United States already
has adhered TO the spirit of the old
treaties. Official statements have been
issued at the Presidents direction de-
claring that German warbound ships
here would not be seized or used, ever
in case Of war, and that bank deposits
and other personal property OF Ger
mans also would be immune.

Right to Arm
Ships Not Asked,
Says Franklin
Entire Fleet of American Line
Now Tied Up by U-Boat
Blockade

p. A. 5. Franklin, president of the
international Mercantile Marine Com
pany. which controls the American
Line, declared that no formal request
had been made by him yesterday to the
government for the arming of steam
ships of the American Line. lie init
mated that such a proposition was
submitted to the State Department on
previous occasion and that the status
of departure of the American Line
steamships was unchanged.
Reports reached this city yesterday
that the government was considering
a plan to condemn 5-inch guns now the
property of the United States navy,
and that these pieces might eventually
be purchased by the American Line for
the defence Of its six steamships, cr
at least for the four vessels of the
feet that are now tied up in this port
Mr.. Franklin declined to comment on
the condemnation scheme. He re-
garded it merely as conjecture that
showed no signs Of probability.
With the arrival yesterday of the
steamship New York the entire feet OF
the American Line was tied up. The
Philadelphia and the Finland are de-
tanned in the hsrbor Of Liverpool and
the New York, st. Paul, st. Louis and
Kroonland are virtual prisoners at the
Chelsea piers. These vessels repre-
sent total of 65,239 tons that is lying
