GERMAN REFUGEE STEAMER SEIZED
.BRITISH REPLY TO PROTEST (Rec. April 20, 7.25 p.m.) London, April 20. Jlr. Page, United States Ambassador to Great Britain, has handed to Sir Edward Grey (British Foreign Minister) Germany's protest against the seizure of the German steamer Pallat, which was conveying German refugees from Tsiugtao to Tientsin, op tlio ground that the vessel was engaged at the time upon a humanitarian mission, and was 1 therefore exempt from seizure. Sir Edward Grey, in reply, contends that the seizure was justifiable, as the removal of the refugees bad the effect of increasing the power of resistance of the fortress.
He expresses astonishment- at Germany's protest, in view of the torpedoing of the Belgian refugee steamer Amiral Gauteaume (conveying refugees to England), unmindful of the dictates of humanity.
