WILSON ASKS DIRECT
REPLY FROM KAISER
Continued fioin race One
to stay off vessels which are due to pass
the so-called "war zone" prescribed by
Germany.
Rather will this Government assume, It
Is expected, that It Is the duty of Ger
many to euBif.ntcf the safe passage of
neutrals aboard unarmed vessels and that
If Germany deems It necessary in Its war
fare to seize vessels believed to carry
ammunition or to torpedo such vessels,
there shall bo ample warning and protec
tion afforded Innocent passengers aboard
these vessels.
The underlying principle of the Ameri
can note. In whatever language It nuiy
be couched, Is that the sea lanes belong
iu uii nations ana mat no war, no mat
ter how comprehensive It may be, shall
close to legitimate travelers the right
to go and come unmolested.
Whether Germany will regard the
resignation of 'Mr, Bryan as reflecting
the ascendency here of what Europe calls
a "war spirit," or will assume that the
former Bryan following Is with Bryan In
hU present attitude, also ftr a subject of
speculation In official and diplomatic
circles. It la suggested that Germany's
view of the significance ot the Secre
tary's action may shape to a large ex.
tent Its reply and make for peace or
further trouble in the present grave
controversy.
When the npte Is dispatched It will take
the position that the United States refuses
to recognise the undeflped blockade de
clared by the Allies against German com
merce. If they want to bottle up tho
German coast they will be told they must
do It in an effective manner with a block
ading squadron as demanded by the laws
of the seas. The United State will de
cline to recognize any blookade merely
by the holding up of peaceful merchant
shlpa In mldoeean and diverting them
Into the blockaders' ports contrary to ex.
istlng law.
On tbe position taken by the Allies that
they can and will Interfere with commerce
to the neutral Scandinavian countries and
to Holland unless guarantees are given
that the goods consigned to them will not
get to Germany, the United States will
take a. much more positive stand. The
President's position, which will be made
plain to the Alliec. either Immediately or
aner tu uerman situation Is cleared up,
will be that interference with American
nonicotmband export I unwarranted
and grvssly unfriendly.

the Prusslan-Amerlcnn treaty of July 11,
