As soon as the report had gone
forth that the free movement Of
Americans into the ;s'barred zones,
described by the new German proc
Elamation had been restricted and that
all passport privileges had been
withdrawn, the governments in Eu-
rope saw in the reported action a
tacit recognition Of the barred zone
declarations of Germany. Very
promptly, therefore, the Department
issued the following statement:
"In order to correct an impression
gathered from press reports that the
Department of State is refusing to
issue passports on account of the
German declaration of January 81,
1917, the Department of State wishes
to announce that it is not declining
to issue passports to prospective
travellers on this ground or on any
other ground not heretofore govern
ing the practice of the Department
in the issuance of passports"
