CONFERS WITH GREY
Germany’s Compromise On Shipping
Problem Discussed
London, February 16.—Walter Hines Page, the American ambassador, con
ferred today with Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secretary, concerning
the German note offering to cease attacks on British ships if Gre ritain will j
Dermit foodstuffs for the civilian nnnulatinn fn ane>e C>e~.
Air. Page and Eir Edward also dis
cussed the steamer WJlhelmina. loaded
with food for Germany, which is being
held at Falmouth for a prise court, and
the status of which has not yet been de
termined.
The British government has evidenced
in many ways that it is unterrifled by
threat* of attacks on shipping, and that it
has no thought of making any concessions
to Germany, but on the contrary is pre
1 paring to tighten the restrictions upon
freight movements toward that country.

Shv efforts or the commission
for thv ‘ .-f of Belgium to buy the cargo
of the vilhelmina fail, the evidence of
the owner* that the food is destined to
the civil population of Germany ulone
probably would be submitted to the prise
court. It is considered unlikely, how
ever, that any evidence could be produced
w’hich would induce Great Britain to per
mit the food to go to Germany without
the action of any prise court.
GERMAN TRENCHES
TAKEN BY FRENCH
Paris, February 16.—(10:50 p. m.)—The war office official
communication issued tonight says that German trenches three
kilometers in extent (nearly two miles) have been taken in
Champagne, northwest of Perthes and north of Beausejour.
“Along the whole front the day of February 16 hae been favorable for us.
In Belgium there has been an artillery engagement.
“A small French squadron has bombarded a German aviation park at
Ghistelles. A small British squadron has bombarded Ostend.
I “To the south of Ypres the British army are masters of a number of
trenches where for two days a rather spirited combat has developed.
I “Between the Oise and the Aisne. near Bailly a very efficient shelling has
been carried out by our artillery against gatherings of troops, automobile con

statement made by Admiral Dehnvke of
the marine department, and transmit
ted to Lieutenant Commander Walter
11. Gherardl, naval attaehe of the Amer
ican embaNN).. It la given out official
ly rn follown:
“Up to the present time Germany in
t' » war at sea has followed the Lon
on i declaration or the stipulations of
the Paris treaty on which the conduct
of war on the sea had been based be
fore the London declaration.
“In waging this commercial warfare
Kngland had In view the subjugation
of Germany by starvation. Germany
in every way had sought to bring the
attention of the neutral powers and all
ethers to the necessity she was under
tv* obtain food for her civilian popula
tion, which was her right under the
laws of war. No results could be ob
tained from her efforts.
Insufficient Food
'.Since the shutting oft of food sup
plies hail now come to a point where
Germany no longer had sufficient food
to feed her people. It became neces
sary for her to bring England to terms
through force. Germany knows that
by the use of the submarine England
can be placed In a position where food
will be lacking. Her life as a nation
and the lives of her people depend on
puuing this campaign Into action, and
she must do so,
■The difficulties in the way of this
campaign have been largely connected
with the care which it Is desired to give
to neutral ships and to the lives of
those on board all commercial ships;
whether neutral or belonging to tho
enemy.
"First—In arming her merchant ships
with guns for self-defense England
adopted a policy against which Ger
mans strongly protest. The United
States took the British point of ylew.
Submarines cannot approach British
merchant ships and make examinations
without exposing themselves.
"Second—-England has advised her
merchant fleet to fly neutral flags, to
cover up names and change stacks to
escape the consequences of their na
' tionallty. This plan was designed to
bring Germany into conflict wltn other
nations.
"Germany does not wish to harm
American or other neutral ships or their
cargoes unless carrying contraband. She
Is, however, in a position where her life
depends upon her putting into effect
the only means she has of saving her
self. She must and will use this means.
Will Safeguard Neutrals
“Commanding officers of submarines
have been ordered to make every effort
to safeguard neutrals. In spite of the
precautions, the possibility was noted that
neutral ships through error or attack
might be destroyed, for this reason a
strong warning waa laaued.
"In addition, tha English coast has
been mined by tha British themselvea for
protective reasons, and would be mined
by the Germane aa fn act of offensive

awaited formal replies from Great Brit
ain and Germany to the recent \inert
ran notes on the subject.
Ambassador Page at London and Am
bassador Gerard at Berlin sent dispatches
to the state department telling of Informal
conferences with the high officials of
Great Britain and Germany respectively,
but did not indicate that the former in
tended to alter Its policy on shipments
of conditional contraband to civilians, or
that the latter would recede from Its
announced intention of waging a subma
rine war on enemy merchant ships.
Ambassador Gerard reported that Ger
man Officials were friendly and disposed
to take Into consideration the embarrass
ment of the United States and other neu
trals In the situation."
Situation Grave
While awaiting answers to the various
American communications, high officials
here, admitting the gravity of the diplo
matic situation, were disinclined to dls
cuss future steps or policy. One sugges
tion of the German government—that
American organisations or consular of
ficers supervise the distribution of food
stuffs as a guarantee of its delivery to
civilians—seeqis to be set with more dif
ficulties than were originally evident.
While making It clear that the subject
had not been considered formally, officials
stated that such a procedure could be un
dertaken by the United States only with
the acquiescence of all the belligerents.
The situation in Belgium and In Ger
many proper were In this respect held by
state department officials to be analo
gous. It was revealed, however, that be
fore Minister Whitlock and America!? or
ganisations were permitted to supervise
food distribution In Belgium the consent
of Germany as well as Great Britain has
been obtained. For a neutral government
to assist the civilian population of a bel
ligerent to to obtain supplies without the
consent of the other belligerents would
be unneutral, according to American of
ficials.
But while the situation presents many
difficulties officials are still hopeful that
an understanding on the question of food
stuffs will be reached whlcn may avert
the necessity which Germany declares
will ensue for making war on enemy mer
chant ships.
England's Position
The British government has made Its
position clear on the principles under
which conditional contraband will not be
interfered with when destined to civilians
In an enemy country; while the German
government has stated that If It can get a
food supply tor lu civilian population
It will recede from Its submarine cam
paign.
These declarations contain no concur
rence of views but officials say there Is
always the possibility that through the
good offices of an intermediary a common
ground for an understanding may be
teached.
In this connection the British supple
mentary note, replying to the American
note of protest about contraband and ship
ping generally, was laid before President
Wilson today. It contains a lengthy argu
ment on the subject of American shipping

'subject of conditional contraband and

Fletcher Repudiates Charges
by Opponents of the
Marine Bill
Washing^mu . Ptbruarj*. hi.- tSenclury
McAdoo pave »>u4 tonight a copy of *»
letter to Senator Fletcher emphatically
denying Intimations that he had entered
Into negotiations for the purchase of mer
chant steamers of belligerent nations for
operations under the propos'd whip pur
chase bill. The letter replies to a reso
lution introduced several days ago by
Senator Burton. Mr. McAdoo summed up
his statement as follows:
"in view of false rumors and stata
tnents, permit me to say in conclusion
that the Secretary of the Treasury has
at no time had a communication from or
discussion with any banking bouse, bank
ing institution, or banker. In or out of
the United States in connection with the
purchase, sale or disposition in any man
ner whatsoever of the German ships In
terned in the ports of the United States or
elsewhere, or in connection with any
other ships of belligerent or neutral na
tions for any purpose whatever."
Replying to Senator Burton’s Inquiry as
to whether tenders of steamers flying bel
ligerent or neutral flags bad been made,
Mr. McAdoo referred to information con
cerning available ships contained In a
report be marie to the Senate on freight
rrte increases. He added that lists of
ate amors under French, British and Ger
man flags had been furnished by .1. V. Mc
Carthy of Boston and B. N. Baker of
Baltimore, and that offers of neutral ships
were inclosed with the letter from Mr.
McCarthy. These offers probably result
ed from published reports of the proposed
ship purchase legislation, he said.
Mr. McAdoo declared he had no knowl
edge of any loans by anybody In the
United States to owners of ships tied
up in American ports or any options held
an such ships in contemplation of their
transfer to the government or any citi
sen.

Washington February IH.—Drnft
crntle leader* In both hounen of Con
gress agreed tonight that the govern
ment ship purehaae bill either would be i
before President Wilson for hla signa
ture within ■ few days or dead so far
as this session la roncerned.
The house remained In session late to
night to pass the Week’i-Gore bill, as the
amended measure Is known, and tomorrow
the administration forces will begin a
final effort to get a vote in the Senate
an the House amendments over the oppo
sition of republicans and revolting demo
crats. Majority leaders spoke confidently
today of the prospect of victory and Pres
ident Wilson, after u conference with
Senator Kern, told callers the bill would
be passed.
On both sides of the capitol belief was
current that If present plans for prompt
action In the Senate fell through the ship
bill would lie abandoned and all efforts
centered upon disposing of appropriation
bills to make unnecessary an extra ses
sion.
Discuss Cloture Rule
While the House debated the Weeks
Gore bill the Senate continued its dis
cussion of cloture rules and Senate lead
ers of all factions were engrossed In con
ferences as to the next moves to be made.
Heport has It that the administration
forces tomorrow would attempt to shut
off all debate by moving the previous
question, and thus forcing a vote on a
motion to concur in the House amend
ments. Should this prevail It would be
equivalent to passage of the ship pur
chase measure and thereby end the long
and turbulent fight.
There were evidences of unusual actlv- j
ty on the part of Senate committees In
charge of appropriation bills, preparing
the supply measure for Senate consider
ation as soon as the legislative ways arc
cleared of pending business.
The ship bill as It will go to the Senate
from the House includes the ship pur
chase measure as agreed upon In Senate
caucus, and a provtslion that two years
after the dose of the European war ships
acquired by the United States shall be
turned over to the Secretary of tha Navy
to be operated or leased for commercial
purposes under the terms of the Weeks
bill already passed by the Senate.

Montgomery, February lb.—(Spe
cial.)—The Hon and the unicorn of
the Jefferson delegation, after en
gaging in a spectacular tilt this morn
ing, settled their differences this aft
ernoon and tonight are lying down
together in aimty.
The net result of fhe ^o-called split,
therefore, was a more or less ani
mated moment in which the house and
senate pricked up their ears and im
mediately afterwards resumed the
consumption of their mutton.
The trouble originated In the action of
Senator Judge in amending a bill of Mr.
Welch so that instead of the entire fund
of Jefferson county being at the disposal
<»f Hie solicitor only 16000 Is subject to. his
Jurisdiction. Senator Judge considered
ih*' hill passed by the house as a remark
able hill In that It provided that the. so
licitor could draw on the general fund
for the amount which he considered nec
essary. When he proposed his amend
ment the senate accepted It heartily. But
Mr. Welch from appearances did riot.
Welch Resolution
•Mi. Welch, as a matter of fact, intro
duced a resolution recalling from the
senate the bill of Mr. Shapiro, In which
Serntoi Judge is deeply Interested, that
which would abolish offices of justices
of the peace in Birmingham and croaU*
another judgeship for ihc municipal
court
I The house permitted Mr. W elch to i »*
I cull tin* hill, hut Only slier Mr. Shapiro
h*d expr« s«< d r ns,*If \ »ry < andldly i -
A> rdUtg what he Mrmed the 'log rnllfuTT
and political frouclng" of his fellow
mem her.
Mi. Slmplro as a matter of fact Inti
mated that th** action of Mr. Welch was
the outgrowth of his spite resulting from
the action of Senator Judge in amending
the solicitor's bill. Ho raged for sev
eral minutes, but although Mr. John of
Hal las came to his assistance, he was In
effective. The house recalled the bill from
the care of the senate.
Peaff Restored
Al that moment the Indications were
that a serious split had developed in the
Jefferson delegation, which, as Is remem
bered, promised to settle Its differences
among Itself and not on the floor of the
house. But later peace was restored.
Just what It was tliat created the little
puff of wind which blew the cloud away
no one knows. At any rate, late in the
afternoon Mr. .Shapiro declared tliat the.
points of difference had been settled, and
his motion that the house reconsider Its
action recalling his bill from (lie senate
prevailed.
And the lion and the unicorn, after
fighting for the crown* laid down together
In peace and there obtains now, on the
surface at any rate, a rich and calm con
tent.
