To Encourage Shipping. It became known yesterday that Count Von Bernstorff, German ambas- sador pointed out to Secretary Bryan in his conference yesterday that Ger- many desired to encourage American shipping.

Whatever suffering might come to neutral shipping as a resuit of the declaring the waters around the British Isles to be in war zone territory after February 1, the ambassador declared would not be the fault of Germany, who, he_ asserted, must retaliate on Great Britain as vigorously as possible for her viola- tion of international laiw in attempting to starve non-combatant population | of Germany.
