London, April 3.—A German pro- {est and threat or reprisal on account of the treatment by Great Britain of the prisoners taken on board German submarines was made public here yes- terday. This protest was transmitted by Germany to Great Britain through the United States. The reply of Great Britain also was made public. The German government i its pro- test asked whether Great Britain in- tended to accord less favorable treat- ment to captured German submarine crews than to other war prisoners, and if so what form this discrimina- tion would take Germany stated that if Great Britain adopted such a course a British army officer held prisoner in Germany would receive correspond- ingly harsher treatment for each member of a captured German sub- marine crew. Being Treated Humanely. The foreign secretary, Sir Edward Grey, in his reply“said the prisoners from German submarines had been put in naval detention barracks and segregated from other war prisoners, but were being treated humanely and permitted to take exercise. Further- more, the foreign secretary said, Ger- man prisoners in England are better fed and clothed than are British pri- soners of equal rank in Germany, and the Germans are not subjected to forced labor. As the submarine erews have been engaged in sinking neutral merchant ships and unarmed British vessels, Sir ¥dward Grey said, they could not be regarded as honorable opponents, but were ‘‘offenders against the law of nations and common humanity.” The foreign secretary said that 1,000 officers and men of the German navy had been rescued during the war, but that none from the British navy had been rescued by the Germans. However, he made no suggestion for ican ambassador wrote Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secretary, as follows: “The American ambassador pre- gents his compliments to his majesty’s secretary of state for foreign affairs and has the ‘honor, under instructions from the secretary of state at Wash- ington, to transmit the hereto annexed text of a telegram, dated March 17, which Mr. Bryan has received from the German foreign office through the embassy at Berlin: According to notices appearing in the British press, the British admiral- ty is said to have made known its intention not to accord to the officers and crews of German submarines who have become prisoners, the treatment due to them as prisoners of war, and especially not to concede to the .offi- cers the advantage of their rank. Reports Not Correct. ‘The German government is of the opinion that these reports are not correct, as the crews of the sub- marines acted in the execution of orders given to them, and, in doing this, have solely fulfilled their mili- tary duties. * ¢ ‘At any rate, the reports - in question have become so numerous in the neutral press that an immediate explanation of the true facts appears to be of most urgent importance, if for no other reasons than considera- tion of public opinion in Germany. “ ‘The imperial foreign office, there- | fore, requests the American embassy to have an inquiry of the British gov- ernment made by telegraph through the medium of the American embassy in London as to whether and in what way they intend to treat the officers and crews of German submarine boats who have been made prisoners in any respect worse than other prisoners of war. Sharpest Protest Be Charged. * ‘Should this prove to be the case, the request is added that, in the name of the German government, the sharp- est protest be lodged with the British government against such proceedings and that no doubt be left that for each member of the crew of a sub- marine made prisoner, a British army officer held as a prisoner of war in Germany will receive corresponding harsher treatment. . ‘“ * The imperia] foreign office would be grateful for information at the earliest convenience regarding the re- sult of the steps taken.’ ™ Sir Edward Grey’s Reply. Sir Edward Grey replied to the a change. English Criticism Answered. Berlin, April 2, by wireless to Say- ville, L. I.—The Overseas News Agency tonight gave out this item: “Answering the English ecriticism against the conduct of German sub- marines, the ‘“Norddeutsche” Alige- meine Zeitung” states that the behav- jor of the submarines is caused by the attempts of English merchant ships to ram and destrov them. The vaper asks whether English merchant ships that boast of having destroved German submarines invited the crews to leave the under-water boats and save thelr lives. Note to 8ir Edward G American ambassador under April 1, as follows:— “The secretary of state for foreign affairs presents his compliments to the United States ambassador, and, with reference to his excellency’s note of the 20th ultimo respecting reports in the press upon the treatment of prisoners from German submarines, has the honor to state that he learns from the lords commissioners of the admirality that the officers and men who were rescued from German sub- marines U-8 and U-12 have been placed in naval detention barricks in view of the necessity of their segre- gation from other prisoners of war, “In these quarters they are treated with humanity, given the opportunity date of Under date of March 20 the Amer- A lesson of the European War Once more, among countless times, has the great food value of chocolate and cocoa been demonstrated, both serving as a part of the rations of the troops in ACTIVF SERVICE.

Killing Non-Combatants. “As, however, the crews of the two | German submarines in question before | they were rescued from the sea were engaged in sinking innocent British and neutral merchant ships and wan- tonly killing non-combatants, they cannot be regarded as honorable op- ponents, but rather as persons who, | at the orders of their government, have committed acts which are of- fenses against the law of nations and ““His majesty’s government would also bring to the notice of the United States government that during the present war, more than 1,000 officers and men of the Germany navy have been rescued from the sea, sometimes in spite of danger to the rescuers and sometimes to the prejudlice of the British naval operations. No case has, however, occurred of any officer or man of the royal navy being rescued by Germans.” WATCHING GERMAN VESSELS So That They Will Not Leave N. Y. Port Without Clearance Papers, New York, April 3.—An unexpected trip by the destroyer Parker up the' Hudson river early today from her| anchorage near the Narrows, gm-e’ rise to reports that some of the ves-| sels of the German steamship lines| might try to slip out of port without clearance papers, The Parker is ono| of the warships stationed here to maintain the neutrality of the port.| It was said at the navy yard that the destroyer’s round of the Hoboken piers, whero the German vessels lie,| was merely precautionary. H The guard maintained at the en-| trance to the harbor appeared to have been tightened as a result of the statement by pilots that the British cruisers formerly on duty off shore had disappeared, apparently to watch for the 'steamship Prinz Eitel Fried- rich off the Virginia Capes. There were suggestions that the German commanders might take advantage of the absence of the British cruisers to escape from New York.

ACCUSES DETECTIVE OF MAKING BOMBS Gatbone Says Pelice Beat Hm 1o Make Him Confess Plot. New York, April 8,—Cross exami- ration of Carmine Carbone at his trial with Frank Arbano on the charge of attempting to explode bombs in St. Patrick’s cathedral, failed yesterday to shake the story that his participa- tion in the alleged plot nad been in- stigated by Police Detective Armedeo Polignani for the purpose of “framing him up.” Carbone denied stoutly that he had anything to do with mixing the in- gredients of the bombs, accused the detective of having manufactured them and swore that he was induced Ly him to go to the cathedral. The witness accused tne police of beating him in order to make him cenfess. He denied knowing anything about the anarchistic literature said to have been found in his possession. He said Polignani had brought such literature for him, but he had not read it. Some of it was in English which he couldn't read, he said. Abarno Tells Similiar Story. Abarno also took the stand in his own defense and told a similiar story. Polignani had taken him along Fifth avenue, he said, pointed out the homes of John D. Rockefeller, An- drew Carnegie and other wealthy men and urged violence agalnst them as well as a raid upon jewelry stores and banks. The mother and sister of Abarno testified that Polignani was a frequent visitor at their home and exerted an evil influence upon him. The mother said that for this reason she had warned Polignani to cease his visits. “‘My brother was a good boy until he met Polignani,” testified the sister. Tells of Making Bombs, Abarno described the making of the hombs and the trip to the cathedral. 1Te said that at Polignant's bidding he helped the detective mix the ingre- dients of the bombs and wind the copper wire around them. Abarno sald he and Polignani each took a bomb which they put under their coats and started for the church. Near the cathedral, Abarno said, they stopped at a cigar store at the sug- gestion of Polignani, who bought two cigars and gave one to him. Abarno eaid he lit his cigar from the one al- i1eady lighted by the detective, Reaching the cathedral, Abarno said, he rebelled against going in, but Polignani threatened him and then they walked in. “Inside I saw hundreds of men and women kneeling i prayer,” Abarno continued. *I sickened at the thought of sacrificing human lives. I tried to turn and ieave the church, but Polignani push- ed me up the usile. With the bomb «till tightly clutched in my coat pock- et, 1 turned and began to walk out. Just then a detective grabbed me and | tore the bomb from me, and then two others grabbed me and 1 was chained to Polignani Detective Lit Fuse. In answer to a question, Arbano BAKER’S “The ingredicn_ts of this Chocolate are guaranteed to be pure cocoas of superior blend and sugar.” The genuine has this trade-mark on the package, and is made only by Walter Baker & Co. Ltd. DORCHESTER, MASS. said he did not light the bomb with his cigar. The cigar was out when he entered the church, he insisted. Arbano asserted that one of the de- tectives 1it the fuse with a match after he had taken the bomb from him, Adjournment was taken until Mon- day. The court notified counsel for bLoth sides that the case must close on that day. BILLIARDIST DALY ROBBED. Chicago Thug Hits Him on Head and Snatches Diamond Pin.
