Washington, March ll.-President
Wilson was stunned by the news
that an American ship carrying grain
was sunk by the German cruiser Prinz
Eitel Frederick which made port for

LINERS MENACE CRAFT
A TRAIN REPORTED DESTROYED
BY BRITISH AIRMEN AT
DON, NEAR LILLE.

London, March 15.-The submarine
u-29, one of the largest and fastest
OF German underwater craft, has had
successful three days off the Scilly
Islands and the English Channel,
where, on Thursday. Friday and Sat
urday she succeeded In sinking four
British steamers and one French
steamer. and in damaging three 9TH
ers.
The German commander gave the
crews of most of the steamers time
to leave their vessels and In some
cases towed the ships life boats with
the crews to passing steamers, by
which they were brought TO port.
With a German submarine in the
waters around the Scilly Islands which
the big liners pass on their way
across the Atlantic, there is much un-
easiness in shipping circles, and dur
Inc the course of the day a report,
which also reached the American
liner New York by wireless. was cir
culated to the effect that one OF them
had been torpedoed.
fhe British feel that they more
than evened matters up for the loss of
these steamers by the victory at
Neuve Chappelle, and the defeat of
the Germans in their effort to re-
cover the ground gained by the Brit
ish regulars and Indians on the pre-
ceding days,
British airmen also have been act
i've again and have destroyed a train
at Don, short distonce from Lille.
The Belgian army continues to gain
n little ground at the bend OF the
river User and in Champagne, the Ar
gonne and the Visges there has been
fighting of varying Importance. The
Germans have again bombarded
Ypres, Scissors and Rheims. In the
latter two towns the cathedrals have
suffered further damage.
The French have occupied Ember.
menil, on the railway between I.une-
Vile and Rlxengen. on the border Of
Lorraine.
News from the eastern war zone
continues TO be scant. The German
and Russian armies which are con
centrating for n big battle around
Przasynsz apparently have not yet
come into tonch.
The bombardment OF the Darda.
nelles and Smyrna forts continues on
days when the weather permits.
Reports from Athens say that the
super dreadnaught Queen Elizabeth
has destroyed. by indirect fire from
the Gulf of Saros. several shore bat.
terles. At the same time a violent
, duel is going on between the Turkish
forts and the ships Of the allies. and
the Turkish troops have come under
the fire OF the warships.
According to reports from Basle the

ORDER IN COUNCIL OF ENGLAND
DOES NOT CONTAIN WORD

M...e.n Newspaper Union News serylee.

Mrslr'n Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-The British foreign
office delivered Monday to United
States Ambassador Page in London
It's reply to the American note propos.
Ing 10 Great Britain and Germany the
withdrawal of the German submarine
blockade provided England would per-
init iood to reach German civilians,
according to London dispatches.
Great Britain's reply is an absolute
refusal.
The British foreign office also de-
llyered to the American ambassador
Great Britain's reply to the American
note inquiring for further information
in regard to the measures to be taken
by the allied powers to cut off trade
to and from Germany The reply to
this note is based largely upon the or
der in the council which was issued
Monday.
Great Britain's refusal to accept the
American proposals to this country
and Germany is due to the reasons
The text of the British order in
council, shutting off German trade,
was received with the keenest inter-
est by officials of the State Depart
ment and, while it has not been de-
clded as yet whether a formal pro-
test will be made by the United States
government against the order it is
reasonably certain that efforts will be
made to obtain construction of its
terms which will minimize injury to
American commerce.
Officials were particularly keen to
learn whether a formal blockade of
German ports was contemplated,
Since the order does not contain the
word BLOCKADE" officials are in doubt
as TO the legal status of the British
plan.
The order apparently causes the
complete exclusion from American
commerce of all goods of German orr
gin. and this is viewed by American
officials as probably the most immedi-
ate important provision OF the order.
American industries, such as textile
mills, which are dependent upon Ger
man made dye-stuffs. Will he seriously
affected II some relaxation OF the or
der cannot be obtained by diplomatic
correspondence.
II British manufacturers are per
mitted to receive these or similar
German products, as essentials to
their business as they are to Ameri-
can mills, 1t is certain that emphatic
protest against such discrimination
will be made by the State Depart
nfCt.
Il is probable note of inquiry will
be directed by the State Department
to the British foreign office to get a
more exact definition OF the extent of
the interference with American com
merce.
As the order makes no mention Of
Germany's allies there is no specific
restriction on American trade with
Austria or Turkey by way of neutral
countries,
