CTEAMER HUNTED
y LIKE A PIRATE

The steamer Zealandia, according to
reports, slipped out of Pensacola, Flor
ida, with a German crew, incluh ny one
OF more of the officers of the PrinZ Fl
tel Friedrich, who had broken their
parole, on the night of October 7. Az
cording to a despatch sent out from
Washington on October %, the vessel
violated the port regulations and sailed
without clearance papers on an unlaw,
ful voyage. Attorney General Greg
DRY, according to the International
News Service, announced that if the
vessel could be captured by the naval
or revenue service ships of the United
States and any of the interned Ger
mans found on her, they would be held
as pirates and tried as such, with tn"
death penalty on conviction.
Tnterned Germans Aboard
The sailing of the Zeaiandia was ms
sociatcd with the disappearance of tn"
intPrnCd Germans and it was believed
that she had been converted into a
commerce destroyer. American ships
searched for her in the Caribbean, in
asmuch as any damage done to the ship
ping of the Allies by the Iealandia
would mean bills for damages for the
United States to pay.
After slipping out Of Pensacola, witt
a large cargo Of provision, the ZeaIan
lila called at Tampico, sailing from
that port before she could be inter
copied.
Offenders Face Death
According to the department Of JUS
tice, the ship having gone to sea il
violation Of the law and for an un
lawful purpose, is liable to SEIZURE b,
any ship that can take her, and de
clares that the extreme penalty will
be meted out to the offenders wheI
caught.

at Malta, but that four Of these sur,
vivors died soon afterward in hospitals.
Sensation In Warrington y e.
Receipt Of this news stirred up sen
sation In Washington. No comment
could be obtained from President Will
son or Secretary Lansing or in any
other official quarters. II was stated
none would be made until official in
formation can be obtained.
Notwithstanding this attitude officials
make no attempt TO minimize the grave
crisis that 6onfronts the country. The
situation Is tense, and it is believed
will become more so than at any time
over the Lusitania sinking, for 1t Is
believed the attack was without justi-
fication, as the ship carried no war sup
plies and moreover was on a return trip
to the United States. Neither had the
liner carried munitions on her last vOy
age to Naples, it is said, the owners
having adopted a policy IF carrying nc
war supplies with passengers aboard.
Honor Is At Stake
In view of these facts there is a
keen desire TO know what President
Wilson will do. 1t is believed that the
least he will do is to send a note Ia
Austria demanding an apology and re-
dress. While it is not thought that
there is any danger of the disaster
drawing the United States into the
war, in view of the Presidents an
/ nounced determination to keep out OF
it at all costs, the question Of whether
the United States can stay out of the
war without sacrificing its honor is be
/ ing raised.

criticism yesterday by william Jen-

Mr.. Bryan said Theodore Roosevelt

be expected from Mr.. Roosevelt, for
he is one who classes Jesus Christ as
a mollycoddle.
Use Of the Scriptures by the Presi-

provoked by Mr.. Bryan. The day af'

United the administration to a big ma

1t was said at the White House fol

President would make no reply to the
former secretary Of state, but few
days later the President quoted the
Bible to justify his stand. 1t was this
which induced the second attack with

- Of terror in the Mediterranean
Sea, and much anxiety is being felt
for troop ships In those waters bound
for Salonika, with reinforcements for

According to dispatches yesterday
from various points, four ships of the
Allies have been sunk and three sub
marines of the enemy captured or de,
stroyed.
Al despatch from Rome says the
French steamer France has been sunk,
hut the crew was saved. Others say
the Germans also have, sunk the Brit
ish steamers Moorina, Clan MacAllis

ed a destroyer. "
Germans Lose Three Raiders
The Allies, however, have more than
won revenge for the day s work of the
Teutons, If reports are true. Accord
ing to these reports one German sub
marine has been captured and two have
been destroyed.
From Paris it is stated that a Havas
Agency despatch from Athens says - II
is reliably reported that British de
stroyers have captured a German sub
ma rinr in Greek waters. From OtheI
sources it is reported that a British
cruiser has sunk two enemy submersi

The Athens despatch is considered
here as an intimation that the Germani
have marked all troop ships en- rOut'
to Salonika for destruction and are de
