WHERE IS HIGHER THAN AoznTe Fon | GLENWOOD ; RANaE® | OVERLOOKING CamiTOL GROUNDS ANSING DEMANDS SAILORS’ RELEASE gists on Freedom of Americans Aboard Yarrowdale ‘'Washington, Feb 14. — Acting ough the Swiss government, which now representing German diplo- atic interests in the United States, retary Lansing late yesterday made lquiries of the German government to the reasons for the continued ention of the sixty-found American amen who were taken tQ Germany hoard the prize ship Yarrowdale. is'move is preliminary to more vig- ous action if the men are not omptly released. The inquiry sets forth that there is b just reason for continuing to hold e American seamen, and insists pon their immediate release. The government is reiterating the remptory demand it made for the re- fase of the men on Feb. 3, the day at President Wilson broke diplo- atic relations with Germany. Fol- wing the delivery of this demand by mbassador Gerard the German gov- nment promised to release all the risoners. This promise was made imost coincidental with this govern- pent's notification. to .Ambassador rard of its action in handing pass- jorts to Count Von Bernstorff, but lefore Mr. Gerard had actually asked or his passports and before the erman government knew of the reak in relations. The fear is grow- ng here that the men may be held hostages for the seamen on Ger- 88 vessels tied up in American ports. 8 Americans taken in on the ‘0wdale have now been held as prisoners of tvar for the last forty- our days and are being so held con- ary to the principles of interna- lonal law as understood and insisted fpon by the government of the Inited States. They were taken into [he German prize port of Swinemunde n Dec. 19 that the German govern- poent, after the operations of the sea aider became known, announced to he world that it was holding neutral lerchant. seamen as prisoners of war. Excuse Is Thin. The excuse for holding these men a8 the thinnest sort of pretext, ac- pording to the view held in Washing- jon, The admiralty statement of Jan- hary 19 said that 103 subjects of neu- ral states were being treated as ‘‘pris- pners of war,” in so far as they had aken pay on armed enemy vessels. 'hey were not being held for having fommitted hostile agts, but merely be- ause they were pald for serving “on rmed enemy vessels.” This govern- ent insists that Germany has no ight to hold any Americans as “war prisone: unless they committed hos- file acts, ara to date the Berlin gov- ernment has not even set up the pre- ense that ti ciumen had commit- a such ar act It was not until Fcbruary 6 that the slate department was able to receive from the German government a defin- it> statement regarding fhe Yarrow- ner: Mr. Gerard informed Focretary Lansing that he had been as- Isured by the Berlin government that it would release the Yarrowdale s mnd that this was done on the ump- on that at the time these seamen r did not know it was the #on of the German government b O 2 umer:, ¥ . to treat as ships of war armed mer- chantmen. This message, received on February 6, was sent by Mr. Gerard on February 4. It was the first defin- ite statenent this government had re- ceived that Germany was treating armed merchant vessels as ships of war, and dealing with seamen found on such vessels as if they were combat- ants. An unofficial dispatch from Berlin on February 11 quoted IForeign Secre- tary Zimmermann as saying that he had requested the Swiss government to make inquiry in Washington regarding the status of the crews of German chips in American por “We could not consent to the re- lease of the Yarrowdale prisoners,” Secretary Zimmcermann was quoted as saying, “which was taken to be agreed to a week ago. These men had been taken off armed merchantmen and their status had been established. They will be released just as soon as we learn of the fate of the German crews in American ports.’ LEWS HIT MODEL Brooklyn Man Claims to Know of Golbert Murder Montreal, eb. 14.—Frederick J. Farrell of 479 Park avenue, Brook- lyn, who is detained here as a result of his statement that the murder of Mazie Colbert, the ar- tist’s model, in her rooms at the Wil- ton apartments in Philadelphia, mdde a detailed confession, which has been forwarded to the Philadelphia police. Farrell says he met Bernard W. Lewis of Pittshurgh on the night of the murder and proceeded to ~ Miss Colbert’s apartments, where he was introduced to the model by Lewis. | After a conversation, Farrell said, the girl asked Lewis for money, and dissatisfied with his reply, struck him on the face. Lewis tried to push her off, and she srabbel a papercutter and ma® a lunge with it. Lewis hit her and she fell against the radiator, striking her head on it rendering her unconscious. Farrzll says he then ran out, leav- |ing Lewis behind. It was only after- wards when reading the newspapers, he said, that he learned Miss Colbert | had been found murdered. After he | left the Wilton apartments, Farreil asserted, he went to the railway sta tion, took train for New York, and went to his home in Brooklyn. From there he went to Plymouth, Conn., then to Hartford, and Springfield, and from there to Montreal, where he ar- rived on Jan. 14. Here he joined the Canadian Medical corps. He said he gave himself up becuuse his con- science troubled him. He was in un- iform when he entered the police of- fice. Neither the Montreal nor Philadel- phia police have been able to make up their minds as to whether ther: is any truth in Farrell’'s story. Iis officers in the Medical corps bhelieve he is a fakir and a coward, and that i he is taking this way to get his dis- charge from the regiment for fear it will be ordered to the front. Far was cross-examined by a deput, from the corps, but sought the pwotection of the detectives, as- rting that as a civil prisoner he was beyond wmilitary authority. | forebears. POSTMASTER TROUP TALKS ON LINCOLN New Haven Official Holds Members of St. Mary’s Sodality Spellbound During Address. than Mary's More one hundred members of St Literary society and their friends gathered in the base- ment of St. Mary's school last night and heard delivered by Hon. Philip Troup, postmaster of New Haven, one of the greatest addresses ever given in this city on the life work of Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Troup treated.his sub- ject a new and entirely different angle from that usually presented by public speakers. For one hour and twenty-five minutes his auditers sat spellbound as the speaker unfolded the many salient incidents that shaped the destiny of the beloved martyr president, Many popular conceptions of Lin- coln were overthrown by Mr. Troup, who dispelled some of the conven- tional ideas which hover about the name of this heroic figure in Amer- ican history. Going back into the pre-natal and heriditary influences that shaped the life of one of the greatest presidents, the speaker showed where many fallacies have existed on the question of Lincoln’s The great figure of Civil War days was not the child of poor parents as the term is generally un- { derstood; but the offspring of those | sturdy he witnessed | people of the frontier who, while they were not blessed with modern day conveniences and luxuries, were no less rich in more than ma- terial goods. From the early child- | hood of Lincoln, Mr. Troup sketched ! the career of the great martyr pres- ident on up through his early experi- ences in the Illinois legislature, then in the national congress, then in his celebrated forensic encounters with Stephen A. Douglas, in his battle for right on the slavery question, and then on #o the moment of his death. Had Lincoln lived, the South would never had exnerienced the terrible days of reconstruction as they were known under an unrelenting hand, affirmed Mr. Troup. Lincoln’s plan of reconstruction was of a different or- der than that actually put in prac- tice and from which the South is but recently recovering. Miss Margaret Sheehan, president of St. Mary's Literary society, presided at the meeting which extended a standing vote of thanks to Mr. Troup. After the lecture the postmaster from New Haven was the guest of ex-Sen- ator George M. Landers. Postmaster Delaney and several invited guests met Mr. Troup later in the evening.
