An Interview appearing In n Ilerlln
newspaper the day nfter President Wil
son's nppeal to th neutral countries wh
P'rhllshcd attributed to "a neutral dlplo
inn I." summed up these military dangers
nf the Kuropean neutrals and held be
fore tliclr eyes the warning of Kumanlu's
lot.
No less convincing economic reasons
militated ngulnst the acceptance by, these
1'owor of President Wilson's Invitation
to mako common cause with the X'nlted
States. Hhlerlng Denmnrk arid Nor
way, on tho scantiest coil rations and
with a stoppage of llrlttsh coal supplies
utterly dependent on Clcnnany for nec

see the dangers of a step which would
cut off Iniportu from the (Iciinan side as
well and leave them economically hun
gry between tho devil und the deep sen,
If the two combatant groups may be
thus described.
All In all tho Foreign Minister of one
of the Hcandlnavlaii Htalen seems to
have put tho matter cpilte plainly from
his point of view when he remarked to

effectiveness of the Oerman t"-boat cam

Tresldent and his advisers lias been to
show (iemiauy that complete abandon
ment of this Illegal warfare was de
manded by the American people.
That any American 'could have had a

aroused resentment here. In spite of the
fact, as admitted by Secretary Daniels,
that permission was glicn for the trans

cession of Dr. Klrchwey.
Dr. Barthelme was a caller again on
Counsellor Polk to-day. It Is understood
that hla status has been the subject of
discussion by officials and that he will
no longer have the light of entering the

also understood that Dr. Barthelme Is
likely, as a result of what has happened,
to take passage with Count von Bern

day and that no more press despatches
of this- kind will go to Germany.
JAILING OF SEAMEN

Continued from Firtt Page.
posal Ambassador Gerard refused to con
sider when the German Foreign Odlce,
fter the United States had broken re
lations, sent It to lilm in the form of a
protocol with the Intimation that If he
did not attach his signature, Americans
In Germany might be held as hostagea
to Insure good treatment of Germans In
this country,
The document, submitted In French. Is
being translated for the consideration of
Tresldent Wilson and Secretary Lansing.
Officials familiar with Its nature said It
apparently was so different from the
original treaties that It virtually would
constitute a new one. Strong doubt was
expressed that the United States would
enter Into negotiations on the subject.
Aa It is understood now, confirmation by
the Senate would be necessary even If
the Executive branch of the Government
desired to agree to such a protocol,
Mnf- Conduct for Ships,
Most Important among the new pro
visions suggested by Got many Is one ex
panding tho exemption from seizure in
case of war between the two countries
of "merchants and their effects," into an
exemption specifically mentioning enemy
ships which are in port at the time of the
outbreak of war and which either
must be left free In pott or given safe
conduct to their own ports, presumably
even in face of a blockade conducted by
hostile Governments.
Sections also are added forbidding in
ternment 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 business and depart.
In part the United States already has
adhered to the spirit of the old treaties.
Official statements have been Issued at
the President's direction declaring that
German wnrbound ships here would not
be selzod or used, even in case of war,
nd that bank deposits and other per
sonal property of Germans also would
he immune.
Only Four Inlrrncil Vessels.
There are two ciatsen of German ships
In American ports. Thore Interned are
war vessels such as the commerce raid
ers Prlnr Ultel Fried rich nnd Kronprlnz
Wllhclm, and such na;l vessels as the
gunlioats Cormoiant at Guam and Geler
t Honolulu. The crews of these vessels,
as well as the ships, being part of the
German naval forces which have taken
refuge In neutral harbors, aro Interned
as prisoners for the duration of the war
tinder International law and The Hague
, conventions.
The status of the warbound German
merchantmen Is different, and so Is the
status tt their crews. Tho merchant
ahlps are not Interned In any senee of
the word, but are remaining lu harbor
for refuge. They are free to put to sea
at any llmo and take their chances with
enemy warships. Their crews are in
the same status as any other aliens com
ing to the United Stales. Any one of
them may be admitted to the country
upon fulfilling the Immigration require
ments. While they are In the status of aliens,
they are for tho present confined aboard
their ships by tho Immlgrat'on authori
ties In accordance with tho steps taken
gainst the destruction of property or
menaces to navigation In American hat
bora. .
llshcd. Accordingly, some doubt was
raised concerning the Litter explanation.
Whateier the cause of tho concentra
tion, a large force of German troops was
on tho Dutch border when Germany's
announcement of the new submarine war
and President Wilson's appeal to neutral
nations to Join with America In protect
ing neutral Interests against Germany
brousht to the foreground the question
of Holland's possible action In reply to
the German campaign,
German bayonets emphasised the eco
nomic and political reasons why Holland
Is unwilling to follow counsel which It
waa feared might have drawn the little
kingdom Into the war.
Humors were heard too in neutral
quarters In Berlin that a flaw had bejn
discovered In Holland's strategic scheme
of defence against Germany which, as
Is known. Involves Hooding parts of the
country In front of the selected flrht line
of defence. According to these reports
it had been discovered that attempts to
Hood these districts would lay under
water a far greater area than had been
contemplated and would throw the gen
eral scheme of Holland's defence Into
confusion.
Fleet Alio a Menace.
The position ot Holland was to a
greater or less extent the position of
the other neutral countries contiguous to
Germany, all being moro or less open to
attack by the war hardened veteran
legions ot Gcrmnny. and all having le
fore thnlr eyes the examples of Belgium
and Serbia, and lastly, Rumania.
The .story of troop concentration In
southwestern Germany In the vicinity
cf the Swiss frontier hn3 been the com
mon property of the Swiss and Entente
press for veek3, thougli the Swiss per
haps aro better able to protect their
mountain land than other small neutrals.
Denmark, whose lanil frontier Is open
fish, fresh, smoked, dried or canned.
And here the problem of cost Is added
to that of monotony. The writer paid
In Berlin SI, 20 a pound for ordinary
lake trout and 84 cents a pound for
small fresh water bass. Dried salted
tlsh costs 36 cents a pound, and smoked
eel 11.92 to Z.40, Smoked goose breast
costs $3 to 13.50 a pound, and boiled
ehrimps aro 7S cents.
Cards for Sardines,
Once In every four or ttve weeks the
city authorities place on the market
small tins of sardines, one of which
may be bought on presentation of the
municipal "Lebensmlttelknrte," or pro
vision card. ICach family, no matter of
how many members, has only" one of
these cards. The sardines thus sold
may be had for about 48 cents for the
small tin. In the open market they cost
from (17 cents, for sardines In tomato
sauce, to 72 cents, for sardines in oil.
One smoked herring, from six to eight
Inchert long, costs 20 to 22 cents. A can
of alleged shredded veal bought by the
corrtspondent was more than half gela
tin" and cost 72 cents. Its gross weight
was a pound.
Pepper costs SS a pound, and small
raistns 11. OS. Saccharine dissolved In
water has taken tho place of sugar for
sweetening coffee and tea In private
homes as well as restaurants. Milk is
ordinarily available in limited quanti
ties only for invalids, the very aged and
small children.

London, Feb. 12. At what great
and Increasing cost Ureal Britain Is
fighting for victory wns shown to-day In
tho House of Commons when A. Bonar
Law, Chancellor of the exchequer, asked
for two new notes of credit aggregating
$2,750,000,001. Great Hrltnln Is spend
lug nearly $20,000,000 a day, nnd since
the. war began lias spent the enormous
sum of $21,000,000,000,
The average dally expenditure Is
mounting Meadlly, Bonar I,aw said,
nnd Is now $.",000,000 a day greater than
In the first sixty-three days of the flnan
clal year, which ends March 31. Tho
cost of food has risen, due In part at
least to Germany's greater submarine
activity than even before "ruthlessnesa
began." at the rate of $950,000 n day
and munitions cost more.
Asked whether the Kntonte could bear
the burden of winning the war despite
these great expenditures Bonar Law
said he had every confidence In the fu
ture and that tho new loan of $2,750,
000,000, called the "victory loan," would
be a success. Tho number of uppllca
tions and the amount applied for by the
geiicinl public are greater than ever be
fore, he said.
Debt May Bench ir.r.nn,ooo,too.
The Chancellor raid the total expendi
ture since the beginning of the war was
$21,000,000,000. At ill" end of the cur
rent ear tho natloiml debt would stand
between $19,OUO,O00.l"ii) and $1,50(1,-
000.000. Advances to allies and domin
loiis would be approximately $1,050,000,-
000.
The Chancellor pointed out that the
total votes of credit for the rurrent
financial sear would amount to $0,750
000,000. Ho said that was In excess of
1 1 io estimate of Iteciuald MeKcuna,
Chancellor of the Exchequer under the
Asqulth government, nnd that the III'
cie.'ise was due to additional expend!
turcr for munitions and advances to tho
allies and dominions. There also had
been an Increase tn expenditures for the
army, but It was proportionate with the
Increai-e In the number of troops, tho
army being fourteen times as large as
when tho war Wgan.
The amounts asked for, Mr. Bonar
Law said, would enable the Ooi eminent
to meet expenses until tho end of May.
On the last vote of credit there had been
an unexpected balance of J 3S0.000.000.
"We have a superiority not only In
men but In equipment." said the Chan
cellor. He asserted that tho increase in
the production of munitions was going
on all the time, being as marked now
as at any previous period. The smallest
Increase In any kind of shell, as com
pared with the average for tho first yeir
of war, was twenty-eight times that out
put. Dominion Financing Ton.
In giving the pi-ogrei-she Increases In
the daily expenditure for the five periods
of the war, corresponding with the five
notes ot credit, Mr, Bonar Law explained
that the dally expenditure In the last
sixty-three dajs was $28,950,000. This
Increase, he slid, waa not due to recent
advances to tho Allies and Groat Brit
ain's dominions, for tho dominions were
now beginning largely to finance them
selves, but to the cost of munitions and I
to the increased cost ot food, I
Mr. Bnnar law sa Id llio country had I
a difficult road fronting It an a nation
and that It plight still have greater sacrl- j
flees to bear, but that mere woum no no
drawing back. Great Britain would be
able to stand the financial Mraln longer
than her enemies, and It would not bo on
that account that Great Britain would
be forced to mako a disastrous peace.
BegliiHtd McKenna, who was Chan
cellor of ttie llxchcqucr In the Asqulth
Ministry, said that never before had vuch
a largo credit been asked at tne negin
nlng of a session, nnd that the Govern
ment must either be Intending to prevent
Parliament from reviewing the expendi
ture during the coming months or else
the money thus provided should tide the
country over a possible Parliamentary
reess or election. Mr. Bonar Law said
the question of a general election nau
never entered his mind,
Mr. McKenna's reference to the pos
tliltliv of a eenernl election provoked
much lobby gossip, onsen on me iaci
that the life of the present Parliament..
expires at the end of April and the now j
vote would give tne uovernmeni onougn j
money to carry on tho war till after a
i-enernl election If It became necessary. '
The opinion was, however, tli.it tho
Government wouin as iur n rn-n-i.i
of the life of the existing Parliament.

"Tlie King's Binding
A Royal Book in fact as
well as in name
ONE of th? most beautiful books ever bound between covers
is the new Encyclopaedia Britannica in "the King's Bind
ing." This is truly a superb example of craftsmanship
called "the King's Binding" because the binding (designed by the
great binder, Zaehancsdorf of London) was selected by George V,
King of England, for the set of the new Britannica which is now
in His Majesty's personal library in Buckingham Palace.
And it also was the choice of other monarchs who own the
Britannica the Czar of Russia, the German Emperor, the King
of Spain and the Emperor of Japan. A set of the new Britannica
in "the King's Binding" is also owned by President Poincarc, of
France; Lord Bryce, ex-President Taft and by eight other Ameri
cans who delight in fine bindings as well as good books. This
magnificent binding is limited to 30 sets and only 14 sets remain
unsold.
The binding, which reflects the personal choice of King George
the Fifth, is a magnificent three-quarters crushed French Levant
of a rich dark green, with lighter green silk cloth sides. Each of the
29 volumes is hand-bound and hand-tooled, inlaid with gold leaf.
The upper right-hand corner of each column is embellished with the
King's heraldic design in gold. (In the case of other owners, of
course, their own heraldic design or monogram ornaments this
corner, following an English custom which began about 1461, in the
reign of Edward IV.)
An interesting incident which led to the suggestion of "the
King's Binding" is revealed in the Britannica article on "Knight
hood," which is illustrated with five full-page, 23-color plates of
insignia of some of the principal orders of knighthood. These
plates were especially drawn for the Britannica from the insignia
which belonged to King Edward VII, and their arrangement in the
Britannica is "in accordance with His Majesty's wishes and com
mand." Naturally, the cost of "the King's Binding" is very much
higher than the regular Cambridge Issue; but, considering the
superb craftsmanship, the price is exceedingly reasonable. The
few remaining sets of this very limited issue arc offered at $445 cash
(for the entire 29 volumes), or you can obtain a set for a first pay
ment of $25 and eighteen monthly payments of the same amount.
This price includes any coat of arms or monogram which may be
desired as an upper-corner embellishment of each volume.
In every respect (except for the royal insignia) these few re
maining sets of "the King's Binding" arc like the original in Buck
ingham Palace. To own this magnificent set is to possess a most
beautiful specimen cf modern -period bookbinding, as well as to have
available the Britannica 's vast fund of knowledge.
If you are interested in having the new Britannica in this
splendid binding, we shall be glad to show you a volume of "the
King's Binding," sending it either to your home or office.
To those who admire rich book covers but are not inclined
to the luxury of the royal binding, and yet desire the Britannica"
for constant use, the Britannica bound in full morocco is unusually
attractive. The leather is a rich dark red, from selected skins of
South African goat; each volume artistically tooled in gold. This
set sells for $267.50 cash, or it may be purchased for a first payment
cf $5 and 57 monthly payments of $5 each.
Another beautiful binding is the full limp suede, which sells
for $255.25 cash for the entire twenty-nine volumes, or for a first
payment of $5 and 54 monthly payments of the same amount.
(A very original bookcase is included.)
Both of these sets are very limited in quantity and, when
the remaining sets are sold, no more can be offered. Like "the
King's Binding," they are printed on the famous India paper and
from the same plates.
No more of the handsome dark green sheepskin sets are to
be bed. Of the unbound sets originally set aside to be bound in
sheep, some 800 were left when we discovered that not a single
skin of this popular leather was procurable. Recently, however,
we obtained a small quantity of red morocco skins sufficient to
bind 400 sets in three-quarter morocco, and so long as these sets
last they will be sold at the same price asked for the sheep $203.25
cash, or $5 first payment and 44 monthly payments of equal
amount.
Any one who desires the large-size Cambridge issue of the
Britannica for what he can get out of it and who is not interested
in or cannot afford the costlier bindings, can still obtain a set bound
in substantial green cloth. This gives you the complete Britannica,
word for word as kings and emperors and presidents own it, and
serves every practical purpose for which this great library of facts
and information is designed. This sells for $166.75 cash or $3
down and 36 monthly payments of the same amount.
But to be sure of obtaining any set of the Cambridge issue, you
must act promptly. Sets now on hand will not last long. No tnnrc
India paper is available for printing additional sets of the Britan
nica, and the war has also made it virtually impossible to get the
leather for binding.
Full information about the Britannica in the higher-priced
Cambridge issue or the popular "Handy Volume" Issue will he sctit
on request. The "Handy Volume" Issue is identical with the
Cambridge issue in contents, and differs only in size of page, type
and price, selling for about 60 less.
When you write, say which issue you arc interested in but
don't delay. Sets are selling fast, and these arc the last that can
be offered printed on India paper.
