BRT OF NEW YORY | GERMANY S CLOSED T0 ALL orts That Germans Plan to Scuttle Interned Liners. ew York, Feb. 1.—Orders were pd to the torpedo boat staitoned at Jrantine to preserve neutrality and to permit any vessel, either neu- or flying the flag of one of the gerents to pass out last night. he order applied not only to mships but to tugboats. Several boats which passed quarantine iy in the evening before the order { {ssued were compelled to return port.

Hamburg-Am=rican and North man Lloyd liners have been tied ‘at the plers for two years and a i, during which time there has jen’ no opportunity to .dredge out e slips, so it was said that they hto practically lying in.the mud, jd that scuttling them would be ra- p pointless. {As to the possibility of an attempt sscape from the harbor, it was said gt none of the ships had enough jal to last for more than a single steaming, at the end of whjch lod they must inevitably be cap- ed, even if they could pass the de- royere on- guard at the Narrows. Vaterland has more coal than of the others, but in her case it } sald that most of the officers of interned liner have been living on pard of her and that the coal was ded to get up steam for heating pd lighting. he members of the neutrality d make three inspections daily, put 7 in the morning, 2 in the aft- moon, and midnight, giving their ncipa)l attention to seeing that the eless apparatus, demantled accord- . to the neutrality regulations, has ot been 'in working order. The ships of the Hamburg-Amer- pan line in Hoboken are the Vater- 4, President Lincoln, President nt, Nassovia, Bohemia, Pennsyl- ania, Pisa and Armenia.

SWEEPING U-BOAT WARFARE American Vessels Per- mitted to Cross At- lantic Ocean But Only Under Conditions Prescribed By Berlin Washington, Feb. 1.—Ambassador von Bernstorff presented the follow- ing memorandum from the German goverrment to Secretary of State Lansing, late yesterday. ‘Washington, Jan. 31, 1917. Mr. Secretary of State. Youcr Excellency was good enough to transwrit to the imperial govern- ment a copy of the message which the president of the United States of Am- erica uddressed to the senate on the 224 inst. The imperial government has given it the earnest consideraticn which the president’s statements de- serve, inspired, as they are, by a deep sentiment of responsibility. It is highly gratifying to the imper- al government to ascertain that the main tendencies of this important statement correspond largely to the desires and principles professed by Germany. These principles especially include self-government and equality of rights for all nations. Getmany would be sincerely glad if in recozunition of this principle c tries Like Ireland and India, w do not enjoy the benefits of political independence, should now obtain their frecedom. The “erman people also repudiate all alliances which serve to force tho countries into a competition for might and to invilve them in a net of sel- fish intrigues. On the other Land, Germany wil! gladly co-operate in all efforts to prevent future wars. The freedor: of the seas, being a preliminary condi- tion of the free existence of nutions and the peaceful intercourse between them as well as the open door for the commerce of all nations, has always formed part of the leading principles of Germasny’s political progran:. All the more the imperia! govern- ment regrets that the attitude of her enemies who are so entirely opposed to peace makes it impossible for the world st dresent to bring about tae realization of these lofty ideals. Ger- many and her allies were ready to ea- ter now into a discussion of peace and had set down as basis the guar- anty of existence, honor ani free le- velopmert of their p2oples. Never Wanted Belgium. Their alms, as has been expressly stated 1n the note of December 12, 1916, vere not directed toward the de- struction or annihilatign of their enemies and were, according to their conviztion, perfectly compatible with the rights of the other nations. As to Belgium, for which such warm and cordial sympathy is fe!l in the United States, the chancellor had declared only a few weeks previously that its annexation had never formed part of Germany’s intentions. The peace to be signed with Belgium was \ to provide for such conditions in that country, with which Germany desirzs to maintain friendly neighborly iela- tions, that Belgium should not be u again by Germany's -enemies for thne purpose of instigating continuous hos- tile intrigues. Such precautionary measures are all the more necessary, as Germanys enemies have repeatedly stated, nilt' only in speeches delivered by their leading men, but also in the statutes | of the economical conference in P’aris, that it is their intention not to treat Germany as an equal, even after peace has bean restored, but to continue their hostile attitude and especially to wage a tematical economic war The altempt of the four allicd pow- ers to Iring about peace has failed, owing to the lust of conquest of their enemies, who desired to dictate the conditions of peace. Under the pre- tence of following the principle of na- tionaiity our enemies have disclosed their real aims in this way, To dismember and dishonor = Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey and Bul- garia. To the wish of reconciliation they oppose the will of destruction. They desire a fight to the bitter end. A new sitiiation has thus been created which forces Germany to new deci- gions. Tor two years and a half Eng- Jand has been using her naval powear LAME EVERY MORNING A Bad Back Is Generally Worse in the Morning. New Britain People Are Finding Relief. A back that aches all day and causes discomfort at night is usually worse in the morning. Makes you feel as if you hadn’t slept at all. You can't get rid of kidney back- ache, until you reach the cause—the kidneys. Doan’s Kidney Pills are es- pecially prepared for weakened or dis- ordered kidneys—have been grateful- ly recommended by thousands. Testimony of New Britain proves the merit of Doan's. Oliver Foulds, 374 Arch St, New Britain, says: “A cold settled on my back and kidneys, causing a dull ache across the small of my back. It seemed to catch me when I bent over. When I sat down, my back seemed to stiffen up and I had to take hold of some object to arise. Mornings my back felt lame and sore. I took two boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills and they entirely cured this trouble.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that cured Mr. Toulds. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N, Y. against her. ! A 1 1 people for a oriminal attempt to force Ger- many into submission by starvation. In brutal coftempt of international law, the group of powers led by Eng- land does not only curtail the legiti- mate trade of their opponents but they also, by ruthless pressure, compel neu- tral countries either altogether to forego every trade not agreeable to the Entente powers or to limit it ac- cording 1o their arbitrary decrees. The American government knows the steps which have been taken to cause England and her allies to re- turn to the rules of international law and to respect the freedom of the seas. The English government, how- ever, insists upon continuing its war of starvation, which does not at all af- fect the military power of its oppo- nents, but compels wpmen and chil- dren, the sick and the aged to suffer for their country pains and priva- tions which endanger the vitality of the nation. As to British Tyranny. Thus British tyranny mercilessly in- creases the sufferings of the world; indifferent to the laws of+ humanity, indifferent to the protests of the neu- trals whom they severely harm, in- different even to the silént longing for peace among England’'s own allies. Each day of the terrible struggle causes new destruction, new suffer. ings. Each day shortening the war will, on both sides, preserve the life of thousands of brave soldiers and be a benefit to mankind. The Imperial Government could not justify before its own' conscience, be- fore the German people and before history the neglect of any means des- tined to bring about the end of the war. Like the president of the Unit- ed States, the Imperial Government had hoped to reach this goal by nego- tiations. After attempts to come to an under- standing with the Entente powers have been answered by the latter with the announcement of an Intensified continuation of the war, the Imperial Government—to serve the welfare of mankind in a higher sense and not to wrong_its own people—is now com- pelled to continue the fight for exist- ence, again forced upon it, with the full ‘employment of all the weapons which are at its disposal. Sincerely trusting that the people and the government of the TUnited States will understand the motives for | this decision and its necessity, the Im- | perial Government hopes that the United States may view the new situa- tion from the lofty heights of im- partiality and assigt on their part to prevent further dfsery and unavoid- able sacrifice of Bumian life.

Berlin, by wireless to Sayville.— Following is the annex (memoran- dum) referred to in the German note: From February 1, 1917, within barred zones around Great Britain, France, Italy and in the Eastern Med- iterranean, as outlired in the follow- ing, all sea traffic forthwith will be opposed. Such barred zones are: In the North sea. the district around England and France which is limited by =« line twenty nautical miles; the district along the Dutch coast as far as the Terschelling light- ship, the degree of longitude of the Terschelling lightghip to Udir; a line from there acrogsthe point 62 degrees north latitu Jongitude, westward along 62 d i three naucical south aroe Islands?); he 1 & grees no degrees not s west, 2 degree lati- point French frontier. 20-Mile Lane in Mediterranean, Concerning the south, in the Medi- terranean: For neutral shipping there remains open the sea district west of a line from Pt. de les Pa- quett to 38 degrees 20 minutes north and 6 degrees east, as well as north and west of a zone 60 sea miles broad along the North African coast, be- ginning on—degrees west longitude. To connert this sea district with Greece, the zone leads 20 sea miles in width north or east. following this line: 38 degrees north and 6 de- grees east, 38 degrees north and 11 degrees 30 minutes east to 34 degrees north and 11 degrees 30 minutes east to 34 degrees north and 22 degrees 30 minutes east. From there it leads to a zone 20 sea miles broad west of 22 degrees 30 minutes east longitude into Greek territorial waters. Neutral ships plying within the barred zones do so at their own risk. Although precautions are being taken to spare neutral ships which on Feb- ruary 1 are on the way to ports in the barred zone, during an- appro- priate delay, vet it is urgently to be advised that they should be warned and directed to other routes by all means available. Neutral ships lying in ports of the barred zones can with the same safety abandon the barred zones if they sail before February 5 and take the shortest route into the open district. Conditions for American Ships. Traffic of regular American passen- ger steamers can go on unmolested if: A. of destination, and if. B.

HOSPITAL SHIPS 0 BE SUNK ALSO Berlin Believes They Have Carried Munitions and Troops ° N Berlin, Feb, 1, by Wireless to Say- ville.—The Admiralty has made the following announcement: “The German government has con- flag of and troops. communicated these proofs to British and French governments by diplomatic means. on the military route of the army engaged in France and Belgium, within the lines Flamborough Head- Terschelling on ‘the one hand and Land’s End-Ushant on the other, shall be no more treated as such. for the transportation of wounded and sick army members on wayvs outside this district. The barring of other sea routes is reserved in case of further misuse of hospital ships in violation of international law. Britain Plans Reprisals, London, Feb. 1.—An official state- ment issued here says that if the German threat of no longer tolerating hospital ships between a line drawn from Flamborough Heal, England, to Terschelling, Netherlands, and a line from Land's End, England, to Ushant, France, is carried out, reprisals will be taken immediately. The announce- ment follows: “The German government an- nounce that ‘they have cénclusive proof that in several instances enemy hospital ships often have been ‘mis- used for the transport of munitions and troops.’” They also state that they have placed these proofs, through diplomatic channels, before the British and French governments, and have, at the same time, declared that | the traffic of hospital ships on mili- tary routes for the forces fighting in France and Belgium within lines drawn between Flamborough Head and Terschelling on one hand, and from Ushant to Land’s End on the other, will no longer be tolerated. “Under the convention, the belliger- ents have the right to search hospital ships and the German government have therefore an obvious remedy in case of suspicion—a remedy Wwhich they never have utilized. “From the German government’s statement that hospital ships will be no longer tolerated within the limits mentioned only one conclusian can be drawn; viz., that it is the intention of the German government to add vet other and more unspeakable crimes | against the law of humanity to the | long list which disgraces their record. In these circumstances the British government has requested the United States government to infarm the Ger- man government that His Majesty's government has decided that if the thréat is carried out reprisals will im- mediately be taken by the British au- thorities concerred. “The British government has re- ceived no such communication through diplomatic channels or other- wise, from the German government as alleged, and they must emphatically deny that British hospital ships have been used for the transport of mu- nittons and troops or in any way con- trary to The Hague convention for the adaptation of the principles of the Geneva convention to maritime war.” T P ———— TN HARD AND SOFT OR ANY KIND OF CORN Tells how to loosen a tender corn so it lifts out with- out pain.

TILLMAN FOR | | END OF BERNSTORFF Would Order Him to Pack Up and Get Out Washington, Feb. 1.—There was a disposition last night among members of the Foreign Relations committec to avoid puplic expression on the German note. The fact came out that for some time the senators wheo are close to the president have known that he was troubled over the Ger- man situation. Few if any of those com-crsanl’ with the circumstances believed war would result, but some believed Ger- many had deliberately courted war for the reason that with the United | States figuring as a helligerent she would be insured fairer peace terms and the only way in which she could hope to insure the active participa- tion of the United States in the peace negotiations' was to embroil this country in the affair. With the United States once en- gaged in the war. it was suggested, Germany could with her allies pro- claim her inability to.fight the whole world and sue for peace and ask this country to e¢xemplify the president's anncunced vpolicy of advocating a peace without victory. “If 1 were the president T would give Ambassador Bernstorff orders to get his traps together and get out as quickly as possible for his home and his barbarians Senator Till- man, chairman of the Naval Affairs committee. “The situation is very clear to me. The president said in his address to the senate that ‘the Unitaq States wished only for a peac¢ ‘.hat would be without victory. C.rmany has reached that desperate state where she sees a ypeace for Great Britain and France and the other Allies that will earry with it a victory.” Other Senators’ Vies Senator Cummins, Iowa: mary pursues the course that you hove indicated from your quotation of the note we are steering directly for a conflict.” Senator ~ McCumber, republican member of the Foreign Relations committee: “The president is now face to face with a situation that will compel him to make good or back down.
