REPRIsALs THREATENED
 BY GREAT BRITAIN
Should Germany Carry Out Threat
 Against Hospital Ships.

London. Jan. 31, 5.55 D. n1-An Of fieial statement issued here today says that If the German threat of no longer tolerating hospital ships between a line drawn from EYamborough Head England to Terschelling, Netherlands, and line from Lands End, England to Ouessant, France, is carried out, reprisaIs will be begun immediately The announcement follows:
 s'The German government announces that they have conclusive proof that in several instances enemy hospital ships often have been miSsued for the transport of munitions and troops, They also state that they have placed these proofs, through diplomatic chan nels, before the British and French governments, have, at the same time declared that the traffic of hospital ships on military routes for the forces fighting in France and Belgium with in lines drawn between F1amborougf Head end Terschelling on one hand and from Ushant to Lands End on the other. will no longer be tolerated
 "Tlle British government has re- celved no such communication in dip- lonlatic channels or otherwise, from the German government as alleged and they most emphaticalIy deny that British hospital ships have been used for the transport of munitions and troops or in any way contrary to The Hague convention for the adaptation of zthe principles of the Geneva con- yenJion to maritime war
 Under the convention the belliger- ents have the right to search hospital ships and the German government have therefore, an obvious remedy in case of suspicion-a remedy which they never have utilized.
 From the German governments statement that hospital shipS will be no longer tolerated within the limits mentioned only one conclusion can be drawn, viz, that it is the intention of the German government to add yet other and more unspeakable crimes against the law of humanity to the long list which disgraces their record Tn these circumstances the British government has requested the Uni ted States government to inform the German government that His Majes- tvs government has decided that if the threat is carried out repr1sals will Immediately be taken by the British |authorities concerned.',
