ber of congress from New York, and @

Unless the British government changes

about 100000 men will be thrown out

The state department is doing all It

PEELED to respect international law.
"The manufacturers of this country
will have to take the matter out OF
the hands of the state department and
handle it themselves by declaring an
industrial war on England. They will
have to tell England that unless she
assumes a more reasonable attitude
she will be deprived of cotton. am
munition and other things she has been

IF American manufacturers de-

put an end to present conditions and
would mighty near end the war. You
say that would be in violation of in

cruiser Prinz Eitel still was at her
wharf when it was sent.
Screened from her enemies by
bowling gale that drove blindins

the German auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitei
Friedrich had her first real. opportunity
to dash to sea, since she took refuge
in Hampton Roads, altho Il still re-
NAMED a mystery whether she would
accept the opportunity or be interned.
The storm ripped down telephone and

port News, Norfolk, the yi:ginis capes
and the surrounding cnuNtry were en-
tireIy cut off except by Ueieas. Whlch
was in the hands Of the navy Depart
ment, and the department. drew the
curtain tight.
Coaled, provisioned, and repaired,
the Prinz Eitel has been lying at her
wharf today a mystery. leaving unan-
swered the question whether Com
mander Thierichens would finally elect
to intern his ship or attempt to dash
thru the fan Of allied cruisers which
hover outside the ihree-mile limit.
The chance for an unarmored ship
to break thru the Gordon was SO slight
that it was the general opinion that
the Eitel would be interned. But such
a storm as today's makes every lane
out to sea q comparatively safe route,
and many admirers Of the German
commander recalling his daring ex-
ploits in sea rowing before she came
to Newport News, would not be SUR
prised il he took the opportunity the
elements afford.
No Attempts at Escape.
The storm which drew curtain Of
secrecy about the Eitel for few hours,
which destroyed communications with
Hampton Roads, started crop OF
rumors saying the German cruiser had
dashed behind the curtain of snow
flakes and passed the watchdogs at the
entrance to Chesapeake bay.
The governmental agencies got in
touch with Newport News. Va. and
established that the Prinz Eitel had
attempted no new daring exploit.
