GERMAN CONTRABAND OF WAR
State Department Makes Public the
Proclamation.
CORRESPONDS TO GREAT BRITAIN
Kaiser's Goverameat Gives Notice It
Will Apply Declaration ef Von
ton Provided Others Do Not
Dlarraard Theaav
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-The State
department today made publlo the Ger
man proclamation aa to contraband of
aar. The Hat corresponds as regards
absolute contraband to the commodities
ant forth In the British declaration.
As regards both absolute and condi
tional contraband, Germany gives notice
that It will Hpply the provisions of the
declaration of London provided the other
belligerents do not disregard them.
In making public the Hats Solicitor
Johnson of tho .State department said
hla advices were "baaed on the most ac
cepted and generally accepted principles
of International law and usage and are
general and advlaory only, the depart
ment being upable to forecast the pre
cise course or position of the belligerent
governments In particular Instances."
The declarations of the other belliger
ents regarding contraband have not yet
been received, bet It Is aasumed they
will, In the main, follow those of England
and Germany.
the Statement.
Regarding the seizure of vessels and
cargoes, Solicitor Johnsons statement
says:
Vessels flying tha flag ot one of the
belligerents are subject to the selsure
ami confiscation by the oppoalng bellig
erents. Contraband of war on board auch
vesaela ts, of course, subject to confis
cation though the property of a neutral.
Goods, not contraband, belonging to a
nntral aboard a captured veaael are
aubject to delay and Interruption conse
quent on the seizure of the veasel, but
nut to confiscation, on manlfcalatton of
neutral ownership and the noncontra
band character of the goods.
When a veaael containing cargo of a
citizen of the Vnlted States is captured
and is carried before a prise court, as
It will be, presumably, he should give
notice of hla claim of property to the
prize court aiithorltlea and he prepared
to furnish proof of his ownership and
the noncontruband character of his
goods.
Goods of a neutral, not a contraband
of war. ehlied in a neutral vessel are
not rightfully subject to seizure or In
terference by any of the belltgerenta, and
It la not preaunied that the vesaela of
neutrala carrying only noncontraband
cargoes will be interfered with.

ment, owing to errors la transmission,

to coincide with the English declaration
and to define contraband, aa follows:
