Germany's New Prize Rules Stir Mark Notable Advance To wards Exclusion of Neutral Commerce From High Seas (Br as aawrHliil Pnatl. "Washington, April SS Press dis patches from Berlin snnounclng Im portant amendments to the Oerman prise rules were noted st the mate Department today with some cone rn. Officials will await the text of these amendments before maklne; any statements for publication, but ap prehension Is expressed privately that If the new rules are outlined correctly In the dispatches, they mark a no table advance by Germany towards the absolute exclusion of neutral com merce from the high seas. Difficulty - in maintaining the right of neutral nations to ship conditional contraband to other neutral powers Is foreseen by offlrlals as a result of adoption as a Oerman prise rule of the same provisions aa that In tha British orders in council regarding goods consigned "to order" over which there has been so much discussion. Ths United States government has consistently held that this usual com mercial process is legitimate. Officials are even more concerned over the reported new German rule that a ship with conditional contra band bound for a neutral port shall be liable to capture and that the con ditional contraband may be confis cated without regard to the consignee when the ship Is destined for a neutral country from which the nations at war with Germany obtain conditional contraband articles. Since submarines alone of the Oer man naval craft can navigate the open sens now. It Is supposed that enforce ment of this rule would be accompa nied by assertion of right to destroy ships and cargo on tha pica or Ina bility to take them Into port. A. reflection of the views of the American government-on this subject probably will appear In the note to be addressed to Germany. In regard to tha case of the American ship Wll I tarn P. Frye. sunk in. the Routh At lantie by- the German cruiser Irlns Eltel Fried rich. "The Stats Department for sometime hea had. ijnder consideration ths last German proposition to send this case before a prise court an to pay for tho ship and cargo If the facta devei onod were those stated In the Ameri can note of complaint. Extension of tho German prise rules probably will result to hastening the dispatch of ths reply. - TAFAT J.VMPTON HtHOOU Tranter- Omaldrr Pvnposltlon to Care for saw Morn Madrau. isyaasl a Tk Keas aaa otnn I Nevrport News.
