ENGLAND SPURNS ALL COMPROMISE

Refuses to Mfekc Any Concession Regarding Food Ban—Will Make Reprisals. London, Feb. 16.—Walter Hines Page, the American ambassador, conferred today with Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secretary, concerning the German note offering to cease attacks on British ships if Great Britain will permit foodstuffs ifor the civilian population to enter Germany. (Mt. Page and Sir Edward also discussed the steamer Wilhehnlna, loaded with food for Germany, which Ls being held at Falmouth for a 'prize court and the status of which has not yet been determined. The British government has evidenced in many ways that it is unterrified by threats of attacks on shipping and that it ha® no thought of making any concessions to Germany, *but on the contrary is prepared to tighten the restrictions ulpon freight movements toward that country. Statements in parliament also have indicated that it is the determination of Great Britain o make reprisal® iff Germany enforces her threat to. destroy merchant shjps, together with their crews. Should the efforts of the commission for the relief of Belgium to buy the cargo off the Wilhelmina fail the evidence of the owner® that the food is destined to the civil population off Genmany alone will be submitted to the prize court. It Is considered unlikely, (however, that any evidence could Ibe produced which would induce Great Britain to permit the (food to go to Germany without the action off any prize court.—
