C Great Britain has decided that If the American steamer Wilhelmina, now on Its way with a cargo of foodstuffs for Germany, Is In tercepted, Its cargo will be submitted to a prise court, so that the new situation arising out of the action of Germany In ordering that all grain and flour shall bo placed under control of the covern ment may be regularized. ' In a state ment issued tonight the British foreign office says: "The new Germsn decree makes it evi dent that all grain and flour is o pass under control of the German govern ment and It must therefore, when Im ported, be regarded as virtually consigned to the German government or to the authorlttea under their control. Novel Sltaatlon. "This creates a novel situation and it Is probable that if the destination and cargo of ths Wilhemina are aa sup posed the cargo will. If the vessel is intercepted, be submitted to a prize court in order that the new situation created by the German decree may be examined and a decision reached upon It after full consideration. "There la no question of taking any proceedings agalnat the vessel and the owners of the vessel will be indemnified for any delay caused to It, and trie ship pers of the cargo compensated for any loss caused to them by the action of the British authorities. 'There Is no truth whatever in the statement made in the press thst It haa been decided that other such con signments will be seised together with the vessels without compensation to neutrals, for no decision hss yet been taken to depart from previously existing rules or practice."
