The Proposal Concerning Food Ship- ments and Submarine Blockade Causes Keen Interest at London and Berlin. Berlin, Feb. 23 (via London).--The American mote on marine warfare sent by the! United States to Ger-| thany 18 now in the hands of Dr. Von | Pethman-Hollweg, imperial chancellor, and Gottlieb Von Jagow, the German foreign minister, who are examining carefully the various proposals con- tained in it. The German government is not vet ready to make a statement regarding i the contents of the note, but it is said that they may be regarded as the basis for further negotiations. | Uertain of the proposals, as for ex- ample the removal of the mine fields around England, probably will not be acceptable to Germany, but thought that Germany possibly make concessions én other points. It cannot be said, however, that there is any great optimism in either Germany or diplomatic quarters that Great Britain will accept any of the proposals - permitting the Smportation of foodstufis into Germany. The Ger man government, it is said,' is not counting on such concessions. Food Not Yet Contraband. London, Feb. 2o0.--The foreign office is" extremely reticent in discussing the American proposal made to London and Berlin outlining a plan for the Germany under certain regulations. Sir Edward Grey, the British for | eign secretary, and other. members of | the cabinet still lay emphasis on the | fact that Great Britain has not yet made food destined 'for Germany ab- solute contraband. While Sir Edward Grey's reply the United States government's note concerning the. jood steamer Wilhel mina intimated that such a step would be necessaary, prohitition of food shipments to Ger many has not actually been an nounced. In fact, looked forward to, as it is considered that this statement of the British position: War Tidings.
