LONDON, Feb. 4. Britain has informed Washington that ( she will seize the steamer Wilhelmina, and consider her cargo of foodstuffs con- J traband. The Daily Express' New York correspondent alleges that the German Imperial family, has purchased large blocks of New York bonds as a standby m case of disaster. The. shares cover a canal and big highway improvement scheme, and were bought at auction about a year ago, a syndicate securing the whole issue. Gaston Le Rous, editor of the Paris Matin, interviewed Mr Churchill, who declared that m the United States public opinion hesitated, perhaps bestowing sympathies, but now Britain was fully unified and Germany was like a man throttled with a heavy gag, wearing out his heart. The pressure would not be relaxed, until she gave m unconditionally. If Franca and Russia should decide to withdraw; from the struggle, which was inconceivable, Britain would carry on to the bitter end.
