Fence Drawn Around Allied
Nations Inside Which All En
emy Shipping Will Be De
stroyed, Says Memorandum
of Central Powers.
GERMANY'S determination to en
gage In unlimited sea warfare
was made known to the world
when Ambassador von Bern
storff handed Secretary of State Lan
sing the following memorandum,
which was inclosed In a note explain
ing the central powers' reasons for
taking this step. The memorandum
outlines the areas In which Bea traffic
will be safe from attack by submarines
and those in which enemy vessels will
be sunk and neutral ships will sail "at
their own risk." The memorandum,
which was sent by wireless from Ger
many to Sayvllle, N. Y., reads as fol
lows:
From Feb. 1, 1017, within barred
zones around Great Britain, France,
Italy and in the eastern Mediterranean,
as outlined In the following, all sea
traffic forthwith will be opposed. Such
barred zones are:
In the North sea, the district around
England and France, which is limited
by a line twenty nautical miles; the
district along the Dutch coast as far
as the Terschelliug lightship, the de
gree of longitude of the Terschelling
lightship to Udir; a line from there
across the poiut 02 degrees north lati
tude, 5 longitude, westward along 02
degrees to a point three nautical miles
south of the south point of Farorer
(Faroe islands?); from there across the
point 0.2 degrees north, — degrees west,
to 01 degrees north, 15 degrees west;
then r>7 degrees north, 20 degrees west,
to 47 degrees north, 20 degrees west;
further, to 43 degrees north, 15 degrees
west; then on degree latitude 43 de
grees north to the poiut twenty nauti
cal miles from Cape Finlsterre and
twenty nautical miles distance along
the Spanish north coast as far as the
French frontier.
Twenty Mile Lane In Mediterranean
Concerning the south, in the Mediter
ranean, for neutral shipping there re
mains open the sea district west of a
line from Point de les Faquett to 3S de
grees 20 minutes north and G degrees
east, as well as north and west of a
zone sixty sea miles broad along the
North African coast, beginning on —
degrees west longitude.
To connect this sea district with
Greece, the zone leads twenty miles
In width north or east, following this
line: Thirty-eight degrees north and 6
degrees east, 3S degrees north and 11
degrees 30 minutes east to 34 degrees
north and 11 degrees 30 minutes east
to 34 degrees north ffnd 22 degrees 30
minutes east. From there it leads to a
zone twenty sea miles broad west of
22 degrees 30 minutes east longitude
into Greek territorial waters.
Neutral ships plying within the bar
red zones do so at their own risk. Al
though precautions are being taken to
spare neutral ships which on Feb. 1
are on the way to ports in the barrel
zone during an appropriate delay, yet
it is urgently to be advised that they
should be warned and directed to other
routes by all means available.
Neutral ships lying in ports of the
barred zones can with the same safety
abandon the barred zones if they sail
Feb. 5 and take the shortest route into
the open district.
The instructions given to the com
manders of German submarines pro
vide for a sufficiently long period dur
ing which the safety of passengers on
unarmed enemy passenger ships Is
guaranteed.
Americans en route to the blockade
zone of enemy steamers are not endan
gered, as the enemy shipping firms can
prevent such ships in time from en
tering the zone.
Conditions For American Ships.
Traffic of regular American passen
ger steamers can go on unmolested if:
A. Falmouth is taken as the port of
destination, and if:
B. On the going and return journey
the Scilly islands, as well as the point
50 degrees north, 20 degrees west, be
steered on. Along this route no Ger
man mines will be laid.
C. If steamers on this journey bear
the following special signals which
only they will be permitted to display
in American ports:
A coating of paint on the ship's hull
and the superstructure in vertical
stripes three meters broad, alternating
white and red.
On every mast a large flag of check
ered white and red, on the stern the
American national flag.
During darkness the national flag
and the coat of paint to be as easily
recognizable as possible from a dis
tance, and the ships must be complete
ly and brightly illuminated.
D. If only one steamer runs each
week in each direction, arriving at Fal
moi.'n on Sundays, leaving Falmouth
on Wednesdays.
E. If guarantees and assurances are
given by the American government
that these steamers carry no contra
band (according to the German list of
contraband).
Two copies of maps on which the
barred zones are outlined are added.

Conditions Under Which Amer

Their Own Risk."
GERMANY BLOCKADED.
Hop Shipping Swept From Ocean by
British Fleet.
Since the day Great Britain declared
war upon Germany the seas have been
blockaded by England's warships
against German shipping. Not a Ger
man vessel, with the exception of a
few raiders and the submarine mer
chantman Deutschland, has sailed the
seas. Vessels in German ports have
been kept at home, and those In neu
tral ports have remained at their piers.
Neutral ships currying contraband.
Including foodstuffs, to Germany Have
been held up by allied war craft and
usually taken into Kirkwall, the Brit
ish port, where their cargoes were ex
amined and, if found to be on the for
bidden list, confiscated.
Under these conditions the food
shortage in Germany has grown until
her inhabitants have been compelled to
live on u very restricted diet, which
has for some time been prescribed by
the imperial government and which
called forth the use of bread and other
food cards.
On Nov. 2, 11)14, the British govern
ment declared the North sea to be a
"military urea." This was to effect a
blockade of the German coast without
subjecting neutral craft to the incon
veniences of a formal blockade. It
was the application of the high sea
right of search to u designated area.
Russia did the same in regard to the
Baltic sea.
On Jan. 7, 1015, Germany retaliated
by declaring a similar "military area"
covering the sea in form of a sector
radiating westward from Helgoland to
a distance of 100 miles, with its south
western radius touching the territorial
waters of Holland and its northwest
ern radius touching those of Denmark.
Then, on Feb. 4, 1915, Germany is
sued her famous "war zone" decree, to
go into effect on the 18th Inst., which
stated that all belligerent shipping
found within a prescribed distance of
the British isles would be sunk.
The triangular controversy over the
extension of the war to the high seas
between Great Britain and Germany
as the chief belligerents and the Unit
ed States as the principal neutral na
tion has centered around two features,
each with many ramifications, which
have been marked by an interchange
of notes—the attempt of Great Britain
to prevent munitions and foodstuffs
from reaching Germany and the at
tempt of Germany to destroy the mer
chant marine of the allies and that of
all neutrals engaged in trade with
them.
The first has been promoted by a
comprehensive blockade even envelop
ing those countries through which
goods might be transshipped into Ger
many. The second has been developed
through submarine warfare, marked by
various stages of severity and com
pleteness. The blockade has subjected
neutrals to industrial and financial in
conveniences and to forfeiture of ships

of Germany.
and cargoes. The submarine warfare
has resulted in the loss of both bel
ligerent and neutral property and lives.
In a manner Germany conducted
what was practically unrestricted sub
marine warfare against noncombatant
property and lives of the belligerents
and against neutrals presumed to have
dealings with Germany's enemies from
Feb. 18. 1015. to Mai- 4. 1910.
The Hundred Years' War.
The origin of the Hundred Years'
war was the king of England's claim
to the crown of France. Philip of
France left three sons, all of whom
died without Issue, and the nearest
male heirs were Edward III., who was
the nephew of the three sons, and
Philip de Yalois, who was their cousin.
The law in Edward's claim is the Salic
law, which passed over women, and
Edward owed his blood relationship to
his mother. Edward claimed that,
though Salic law applied to his mother,
being a woman. It could not apply to
him, being a man. On this dispute be
gan the war that lasted nearly a cen
tury, ending with the many vlct.ories
of Joan of Arc, which crushed the Eng
lish authority In France.
