PARGEST BATTLESHIP LEAVES FOR TRIALS superdreadnought Pennsylvania - Oft “ For Rockland, Me., for Gov- ernment Tests. < Newport News, Va., Feb. 17.—The superdreadnought Pennsylvania, the largest battleship yet built for the United States Navy, left the plant of* the Newport News Shipbuilding and dry dock company early today for Rockland, Maine, to run the offi- cidl government speed and endurance trials. The first two days of the voy- age will be devoted to tests of the warship by her builders and the government runs will begin Feb. 22 with the standardization trial over the measured mile course off the Maine port.

A broadside shell fire from her big guns would weigh 18,000 pounds, which is said to be greater than the broadside firé. of the Queen Elizabgth of the British Navy which mounts eight 15- irich rifles.

Not Sufficiently (‘unnpl‘clle‘nsh'o. Officials fear that a closer study of the Lusitania agreement may dis- close that it is not sufficiently com- prehensive to embody the guarantees required for the future. They are quite certain that it cannot qualify, amend or replace the Austro-German notice; a specific assurance on that point would have to be given by Ger- many and later perhaps by Austria. The recent American circular note to the entente powers proposing dis- armament of merchant ships is not re- arded as in any way involving an abandonment by the United States of its contention that the' belligerents should adhere to existing principles of international law in submarine war- fare. It was issued in pursuance of a design to induce both sides to amelior- ate the hardships of such warfare and prevent the loss of innocent lives. Its rejection would simply have the effect to leave standing and in full force the principles of international law and among others that which permits bel- ligerent merchant ships to carry de- fensive armament. American officials contend that at no time has the United States limited the claim to exemption to unarmed ships. It is true that at one place in the Lusitania correspondence the point was made by the United States that the ship was unarmed. But that was only to meet the German asser- tion that the Lusitania had mounted guns when she left New York. Tirpitz Element Working. The internal political situation in Germany is regarded here as making the situation grave because the Von Tirpitz element is understood to be re- asserting itself with considerable ef- fect and the subject requires delicate handling because an upset of the Von Bethmann-Hollweg administration would be regarded as unfavorable in its effect. Germany, it v pointed out, has made no declarations that its pledges in the Lusitania and the Arabic cases did not apply to armed ships. On the contrary, this government on Novem- Austrian Notice Received. ‘Washington, Feb. 17—The Austrian notice to treat armed belligerent merchant ships as subject to attack without warning was made public to- day by the state department.

Warning Against Break. London, Feb. 17, 1 6 p. m.—An Amsterdam despatch to the Exchange Telegraph Co., says that the manager of one of the greatest German ship- ping companies, in an interview in the Bremen Tageblatt, expresses a most pessimistic opinion concerning the effects of a possible breach of relations between Germany and the United States. This skipper, who, the despatch says, is believed to be Albert Ballin, director general of the Ham- burg-American Steamship Co., is quoted as follows: “A breach of Germany's relations with America would have a most serious effect. All America’'s money and munitions would be at the dis- posal of the entente allies. We should have to take over the feeding of the Belgians, and America’s at- titude probably would induce other neutrals to attack us. All our ships would finally be interned in American ports. This would represent taking away enormous wealth from us. Plight Most Difficult. “Our plight would be most difficult. When the war is over Germany will have to replenish her stocks of raw materials. Do not let us entertain any illusions with regard to England. She will continue commercial war- fare long after military operations are over. She will take away all our trade with South Africa and Aus- tralia, and it will take vears for our passenger service to reach a condi- tion anything like that which exist- ed before the war.” City ltems The postponed meeting of the Stan- ley School Parents’ and Teachers as- sociation will be held tomorrow even- ing at the school.
