A broad Intimation from a aup- pos(Mily well informed aource that President^Wilson might not aak Con- greaa for advance Justification of measures ho might take to protect American ships and lives on the high seas, coupled with the equally broad intimation that danger of war with Germany was rapidly disappearing, is believed to have been interpreted too literally or to convey an errone ous impression of the situation. SHELLED BY U-BOAT Two Amoricnns on Hhlp Destroyed by Hutmuirine Haturdny. Consul Frost cabled the state de partment Tuesday that two nati\c Americans were aboard the Norwe gian steamer Dalbeatie when it won sunk by shell fire last Saturday. He said the steamer was unarmed and stopped her englnec at the flrct shot from the submarine, which continu ed to shell while the crew was aban doning the ship. The dispatch fol lows: ' “Norwegian steamship Dalbeatie. eight hundred and nineteen tons, coal, Glasgow to Gibraltar, sunk seven a. m. seventeenth by shell fire, thirty miles off Fastnet. Carried neither gun nor wireless. Stopped engines upon first shot, but was shelled without pause while aban doning snip. No Injuries, no offer of aid. “Weather heavy, shoals, light wind, clear sky, boats rescued one- thirty a. m. eighteenth after burning flares. ^ “Two nativ^ Americans, Frank Wood, John Guerra, of whom former is in hospital at Schull, acute bron chitis, contracted prior to disaster, but aggravated by exposure. “Am mailing affidavit from mas ter and Guerra.” U-BOAT CAMPAIGN FAILING SAYS BRITISH MINISTER The intimation that the criNis in the relations of Germany and the I'nited States was abating created amazement in higli quar- , tew, where the belief amounta to conviction that danger of a hos tile clash Is ever present. One fear expresed in these high quarters, after it appeared that the idea had gone out that the war cloud was disintegrating, was that the people of the United States would come to believe that hostili^ ties had been averted, only to be rudely awakened by the discovery that a conflict between the United States and Germany was ceitain. It was not asserted that war was bound to come, but It was empha sized that statements, even from of ficial sources, that differences be tween the United States and Ger many wete being adjusted satisfac torily, overlooked the fact that the main lasue between the two govern menta that of ruthless submarine warfare was still alive, and that there would always he the danger of war while Germany pursued the pol icy outlined in her submarine block ade proclamation of January 31. The impression that the war cloud was becoming nothing more than harmless misty ribbon flying away in the distance grew out of sugges tions concerning the visit of Uresi Ident Wilaon to the capital Saturday to ask Senators for their views as to his recommending that Congress give him authority In advance to be employed, whenever he saw fit, to ndopt measures to protect American ships and American lives on the high seas The suggestion of the president was based on the possibility that the present Uongresa. which will expire on March 4. might and before Ger many committed an overt act against the United States that would compel this government to resort to |K>sl- tlve measures to protect the interests of its citizens. Unless advance authority were given to the president to employ the navy and perhaps the land forces to meet thla condition it would be necessary, ao the argument ran, for the president to call Congress in ex tra session An extra session under such cir cumstances would be construed throughout the world and the United 8tatee as a war measure, whereas If the authority should be granted now' to be employed in the discretion of the president the situation when it arose, might be handlod bettor and more conservatively as well as more expeditiously. Senators and Represents I vea have been thinking over this suggestion since it was made. There is a gen eral desire to stand by the president in this time and to give him hearty support, and it Is not doubted that eventually they would adopt any recommendation that he made and persisted in. But an undercurrent of feeling ex ists that it would not be wise to sur render in advance to the executive the war-making power of Congress or anything approaching it, or give him blanket authority to use the land and naval forces for purposes not clearly defined. Congress would be w(lling, how ever, to make grants of authority to the president for specific purposes. These purposes, it is contended, should be well defined in the author izing resolution, and if it were es sential for the president to have greater authority to protect Ameri can interests and uphold American honor he could call Congroos in ex tra session for that purpose. Whether President Wilson * has been impressed by, those views and feels that if would be unw ise to ask Congress to give him advance authority to use positive means to protect American interests from Ger man aggression at sea, or has con cluded that he possesses sufficient authorlty for that purpose witiiout asking the consent of the legislative branch, are questions that were not answered when it wasHaid in an of ficial quarter that the president had not made any plans for appearing before Congress to recommend that advance justification of his acts in dealing with Germany bo voted to him. * The impress on was gained that the president was inclined to lot Con gress adjourn \ ithout passing a res olution to pen t him to use his dis cretion in the < mploymeot of means at his command to meet German vio- most important of these was that the situation, involving the United States and Germany, was improving. Ref erence was made to .the slackening of submarine activity in the past few days and the adjustment of sev eral causes of irritation, giving out of Germany’s attitude toward Ameri cans since the break in diplomatic relations, and it was hinted that the danger of war was not as great as it was last week. Klsewhere in official quarters, however* the view was taken that it was unwise to create an impression that danger of a hostile clash with Germany was passing away. One official said that the news papers, through stressing this * or that irritating incident, had brought the country to believe that when these affairs were adjusted all our differences with Germany would have passed sway, He cited as one of tbene incidents the action of Ger many In holding sixty-four Amerl can seamen as prisoners of war after a promise had been made to this gov ernment that they would be released . The newspapers, he said, through their headlines and news reports of this affair, had given It an exagger ated importance in view of the as surances received Indirectly from the German government that the men would he released “shortly.*' He also cited the reports about the detention of Ambassador Gerard in Berlin, the failure of the German go\ernment to arrange for the prompt departure of American con suIs and their families from German territory, and the? stories that Ameri can citizens were being prevented from leaving Germany. Mr. Gerard and those with him had left Ger many In safety, the consuls and their families were to be taken out thiJ week, and there was nothing to show that other Americans would bo treat ed differently, it was said. The point was made that, as these causes for irritation disappeared one after another, the people of the coun- the United States had no further gropndi for complaint against Ger was assured. The fact was, how- many and would decide thr.t peace ever. It was said, that the promi nence given to these comparatively minor incidents had obscured the real and paramount issue—the Ger man government’s new methods of submarine warfare While Germany persisted in illegal submarine methods, sinking ships without warning or regard for the lives of Innocent persons, the danger of wer between the United States and Germany would be present. It was stated emphatically. For the present this government. It was Indicated, was awaiting evi dence that Germany was pursuing ruthless submarine warfare with en tire disregard for American rights. Incidents had occurred to indicate that unrestricted submarine warfare was going on in accordance with the announcement that caused the Unit ed States to break off relations with the imperial government, but inves tigations had not been completed in all cas^s, and the government wished to be assured that Germany was car rying out her threat to sink on sight before it made its next move. In these circumstances, it was said, the country would be deceiving tself if It thought that as soon as the cases involving Americans held I n Germany and other causes at irrii tatioh were adjusted the danger of war w'ould have disappeared. The crisis, it was stated, would remain as ong asihe German policy dt relent less submarine warfare against mer chant vessels, neutral as wfcll as bel- igerent, continued. — Out of the intimation that the president might deem it unnecessary to ask Congress for advance author ity grew the impression that the president might have concluded that he had sufficient authority to take measures to protect American lives and ships on the high seas without asking Congress to Justify his course. It has been agreed by thei presi-. dent.and his cabinet that the govern ment will be acting within its rights in furnishing armament to Amoricari vessels, and the only question in their minds is whether congress shall be asked to sanction such move on the ground that it may be construed by Germany as an act of war. What the president had in view in reeking advice from senators on Sat urday, as to asking Congress to fur nish advance justification of any action he might take in dealing with latlons of IntemMonal law. directed Germany was that after Congress against the United States or its citi-jadjourned he might find If neoee- cens.

Murder may be com- Ynitted on them, but the attempt to hold up all sea traffic there has not succeeded. It is the task of the west ern powers and their allies to vindi cate once again the freedom of the seas.” This was the reply of Lord Robert Cecil, minister of blockade, to the question of the associated Press. He then said: “So far it has had very little ef fect on the entry of cupplies to inis country, but it has interfered no some extent with trade between neu tral nations. For instance, as you know, most of the "vessels trading from Scandinavia and HdTTand to and from America put into tbo United Kingdom by agreement in order to avoid the^trouble and danger of visit and searedi on the high seas. Some of these vessels are reluctant to con tinue this practice, foolishly, wo think, since the Mdanger of putting into a United Kingdom port is not serious, and the practice is very con venient for all parties. “The German piracy decree is not, indeed, a bluff! it is far too murder ous for that. But its terror lies not in anything like wholesale destruc tion, the actual number of ships sunk bearing a very small proportion to those getting througii unscathed, but in its very uncertainty, its erratic strokes. “However, we are very anxious to meet the wishes of neutrals in this, as in all other matter:-,. We, accord ingly, are arranging in certe'.n cases, where we are satisfied the vessel con cerned is not trading in the interests of our enemies, that they shell be ex amined at some other British port, such as Halifax. “This course does not mean the abandonment of the right of visit and search, which, obvipusly. it would be imiK>ssible for us to aban don. All it means is that we substi- iVAe ^ 0**4 rAfrbi for another, and in order to make cur action quite clear, we are de claring at the same time that vessels trying to run the blockade with goods to qr from Germany, directly or Indirectly, will expose themnclves to condemnation in a pri/e court We are adding that If they fail vol untartly to enter a British port for examination they can not complain !»’ their conduct exposes them to sus picion. and, Indeed, constitutes prima facie case that they are en gaged in enemy trade. “Thla is the meaning of our hew proclamation. I will not. R hope, and believe, make any practical dif ference in the present system, which will proceed exactly In the aatne way it has proceeded hitherto, except that certain ships will be examined at Halifax Instead of at Kirkwall. "In regard to Belgium relief ships, we will not place the slightest obstacle In the way of any agree ment whereby they may be able to reach Rotterdam, even should such an arrangement mean a different route from the one they now pursue through the danger zone ” The British proclamation referred to by the minister oC blockade la a new order in council which will be issued covering the attitude of the British government toward neutral chips. REBELS DUMBFOUNDED Wilson Asmuree ('ubaa government of His Mtrong Support. The outstanding feature of late developments in the revolution movement fcn Cuba was a note de livered at the presidential palace Monday forenoon by William E. Gon zales, the American -minister, in which President Wilson unqualified ly declared his intension of support ing the legally constituted govern ment of Gen. Menocal and of hold ing the rebels responsible for injury to persons or property of foreigners. The note fell like a bomb among the sympathizers with the revolt and was a source of great jubilation and satisfaction to government officials and their supporters. Although events of importance have been look ed for in the military operations against the rebells virtually no news of any engagements had reache the capital late Monday night and such reports as received dealt only with reconnoitering expeditions which showed the interior clear of armed forces of any considerable size and it appears that only at Camaguey and Santiago are there important forces to be dealt with. % CLASSIFIED COLUMN AND } - FARMERS EXCHANGE <§> <$> For Sale—-Addison’s Early Big Boll Heavy Fruiter Cotton Seed.
