The government, it was, said, would ( not feel itself more called upon to i make a statement to the allies about German belligerent operations off the American coast, than it would to report re-port to Germany the recent visit of l ' the French cruiser Admiral Aube to an American port or her allied operations opera-tions on the this side of the Atlantic. Information would be probably sup- plied, however, if requested.
