'- --- , HARRISBURG STAR-INDEPENDENT, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 6, 1915. GERMANY NOT TO SEIZEJ. S. SHIPS CMtliu4 Prom Ftrat PKft fees to close even the English Channel to neutral commerce, and site does not intend to molest or seize American ves sels laden with foodstuffs for the civil ian population of enemy countries; it is to be hoped that England will not make necessary a reconsideration of this attitude by seizing American ships like the Wilhelmina. Will Destroy Ships of Enemy "Germany doee, however, announce to the world that it proposes to con tinue to destroy ships belonging to the enemy, and it adds the notification to neutral powers that, on account of the facts that British ships are employing neutral flags, according to secret in structions now known to have been is sued by the British government, bona fide neutral vessels may actually be en dangered. "Although, according to well under stood and universally accepted usages of warfare, naval vessels are perfectly justified in destroying merchantmen of the enemy, the German government now sees fit to issue simply a general reminder to that effect, stating the actual radius of operations of the Ger man submarines. "The warning may also be taken as in the nature of an answer to the of fer of a prize of 500 pounds, made in England for the first British merchant ship that should succeed in rammiag and sinking a German submarine, an of fer calculated to revive the long aban doned practice of privateering." Waters in Danger Zone The official text of the German ad miralty proclamation, transmitted by Ambassador Gerard to the State De partment to-day, reveals that naviga tion routes to tjie north of tlie Shetland Islands and the eastern part of the North Sea, as well as a strip of thirty nautical miles along the Dutch coa*t, are not in the danger zone but that tho waters directly around Great Britain and Ireland comprise the prohibited areas. This differs from the published report. French Press Indignant Paris, Feb. 6, 5.15 A. M.—The Ger man Admiralty's proclamation includ ing in the war zone the waters sur rounding the British Isles has provoked an outburst of indignation in the French press, although it is hailed gen erally as an indication that Germany is beginning to And her situation desper ate. Christiana, Via Copenhagen and Loudon, Feb. 6, 3.55 A. M.—The opin ion expressed by many here is that Ger- i many is not likely to put her threat of ! a blockade into force against neutral countries. A director of tho Northern Ship Owners' Association stated to-day that Germany's notification would bo received as a friendly caution. The "Morgenbladet" in an editorial | says it considers that there is no rea- ■ son to supprse Germany intends te paralyze neutral trade and that the ! sinking of neutral snips in waters arbi- ' trarily declared to be in the war area is an experiment which Germany hard ' ly is likely to undertake. Neutral powers, adds the paper, certai ly will protest clauses imperilling their ue.i- 1 trality. Amsterdam, Via London, Feb. 5, 9.10 I". M.—An extraordinary meeting of the Cabinet was held at The liiiigus j to-day, according to " Handelab'a.l," i at which Germany s statement regard- ! ing the treatment that is to be accord- 1 ed enemy's shipping was discussed-1 No decision was reached as to the ! Dutch government's stand, the newspa per adds, as a large number of points j in the German statement were regarded ; as requiring explanation. Another meeting will be held shortlv to again discuss the subject. Sweden May Make Prote.it Stockholm, Via London, Feb. 6, ' 9.45 A. M.—lndignation is expressed bv the Swedish press because of Gpr inany's proclamation relative to a blockade of the British Isles. The be lief is expressed that it will result in the government making a protest to Berlin. The "Dagens Nyheler," which is in j close touch with the Foreign Office, de- \ clares England's regulation in regard , to neutral shipping in the North sea caused annoyance, but that it guaran- 1 teed traffic would be safe on certain routes. The paper says that, while j Swedish vessels suffered severely from German mine laying, the latest order I "beats the record by declaring the most extensively used waters a closed sea and threatening neutral ships with torpedoes." Dignity of Neutrals Ignored Rome, Feb. 6. —Commenting on Ger man measures against neutral ships, the ''Tribuna" declares Germany does not take into account the rights or even the dignity of neturals, while Great Britain gave satisfaction to protests made by the United States and Italy, granting the latter the right to main- ' tain the distinction between absolute , and conditional contraband. Continu- j ing, the paper says: "Germany can be assured that some neutral powers will refuse to accept j her ruling under which the established custom of examination at sea of neu tral vessels is abandoned and peaceful neutral ships are put in the same cate gory as hostile vessels. This will evoke protest from some neutrals. If Ger many finds that she has been dam aged by certain British measures she should answer with reprisals damaging to Great Britain, but not striking at neutral powers in the movements of their ships or the lives of their sub jects." JOHN D., SR., GETS HIS FEE Signs Receipt Tor Services As Witness In Federal Industrial Probe New York, Feb. 6.—With Seth Low, former Mayor of New York City, as the final witness at the present hearing the Federal Commission on Industrial Rela- to-day planned to hold its next session in Chicago where transportation problems will be subject to inquiry.

MEX:c¥IipoTACUTE Members of Diplomatic Corps at Mex ico City Threaten to Quit On Account of Carranza By Associated Press. Washington, Feb. 6. —Administration officials and the diplomatic representa tives of foreign governments were keen ly watching for developments to-day in the acute situation i:t Mexico City where many meiubets of the diplomatic corps threaten to quit because of se rious friction with the Carranza gov ernment. The advisability of united action for the withdrawal of all foreign legations iii the Mexican capital because of the difficulty of communication and the al leged slight respect shown them by, the Carranza authorities already has been suggested to their home governments by diplomats of some leading European nations. This would leave the interests of foreign countries in Mexico in ! charge of consular officers there bv vir- ! tually severing diplomatic relations \ with the southern republic.
