ITALIAN LINER WILL
 BE DETAINED IN PORT
Pending Negotiations About Removal
 of Guns She Carries.

Washington, Jan. 1O.-The desire of the United States government that the three-inch guns mounted on the Italian liner Giuseppe Verdi, now at New York, be removed and the vessel de- part unarmed upon it's return voyage, was expressed informally today to the Italian ambassador, Count Macchi al Cellere, by Secretary Lansing. The secretary's views will be transmitted to the Italian government and. it is said, until a reply is received the liner will be detained in port.
 The ambassador called at the state department twice during the day, con- ferring once with Counsellor Polk and later with MT. Lansing. Although there was no announcement after the conference, it Is understood that the American government will adhere strictly to it's policy of opposing the carrying of mounted guns under any circumstances by vessels plying out of United States ports with passengers.
 In this connection the question of responsibility for the safety of passen- gers aboard the vessel has been raised The Italian ambassador, it is said, con- tends that the guns afford protection to the passengers by defending the vessel from submarines. State depart ments officials, on the other hand maintain that the guns constitute an element of danger which would not attend an unarmed vessel. They point out that the liners Yasaka Maru and Persia, both armed for defense, were sunk, presumably by submarines which were afraid to- expose themselves and therefore gave no warning.

TO MEET THE MENACE OF
 GERMAN ECONOMIC WARFARE Object of a Motion Made in the House
 of Commons Yesterday.

London, Jan 10, 5.17 p. m.-To meet the menace of German economic war fare, after the guns have had their say, Is the object of a motion made in the house of commons today by Will liam Albert Samuel Hewins, member for Hereford, urging the government to enter into immediate consultation with the governments of Great Brit aims dominions with a view to mobil- izing the whole economic strength of the empire in cooperation with Great Britain's allies to fight the German system of trading.
 "The key to the whole German diplo- macy is economic, and the whole of her aim is the economic subjection of the country she occupies" declared Hew- ins. "She wishes to create a great central European system and it must be altogether western system of trading"
 MT. Hewins asserted that Germany, by a clever treaty system, had been able to establish the machinery to support these aims, and that behind the screen of her military movements she was carefully organizing the coun- tries she had occupied.
 The speaker advocated preferential treatment for British imperial trade and that of France; notification to the central empires that the British in- tended to wreck the Germanic system and, as he put it, to prevent Germany exploitation of the resources of the British empire by Germany.

DIFFICULTY IN sETTLIN0
 LusITANIA CONTROVERSY.
Bernstorff Has Had Another Confer
 enee With Lansing.

Washington, Jan. 10-Difdculty in agreeing upon the details is delaying a final settlement of the Lusitania controversy. Count Won Bernstorff, the German ambassador, and Secretary Lansing had another conference today and 1t was said later that no final agreement had been reached, although the outlook was encouraging.
 While the United States and Ger many virtually have agreed upon the essential principles involved, it was learned tonight that until a method of expressing these principles is found satisfactory to both sides, announce ment of a settlement will be withheld. Count Won Bernstorff was informed in effect by Secretary Lansing during to- days conference that the wording of the tentative proposal submitted last week by Germany, and since consid- cred by President Wilson, was made quate in ceratin respects.
 A feeling of optimism regarding the ultimate outcome of the negotiations apparently prevails both in official and Teutonic diplomatic circles. It is free ly predicted that a settlement accept able to both governments should be reached by next Monday. unless un- foreseen events intervene.
 By Monday Count Won Bernstorff should receive a reply to a despatch prepared tonight for the Berlin foreign office.

ASSERTS GERMANY IS
 FEELING FOOD BLOCKADE.
Statement by President Runciman of
 London Board of Trade.

London. Jan. 10. 7.45 p. m.-Walter Runeiman, president of the board of trade, won tremendous applause from the house of. commons tonight by a speech in which he declared that the entente allies must take steps to see that Germany is unable to carry on a trade war against them after peace is signed.
 There are signs" he said, that at last Germany is beginning to feel the economic pressure of our blockade. Her food supplies are becoming depleted while ours are increasing. Although our exports have fallen and our i'm ports risen, there is no doubt that the economic strength of Great Britain Is so well founded that we can stand the strain far better than the central powers.
 Bread riots in Berlin and in nearly every other big German city do not occur without good reasons. We have deprived the enemy of many necessi- ties of warfare and possibly some of the necessities of life. Her stocks of raw materials are giving out Econom- is pressure, possibly better than any other means, will ultimately persuade Germany of the fruitlessness of con tinuing the struggle"

URGING ECONOMIC
 PRESSURE ON GERMANY.
Subject of Debate in House of Com
 mons Last Night.

London. Jan. 10, 11.25 p. m-The de- bate in the house of commons tonight was chiefly remarkable for the unani- mity of the members in urging the government to exert the largest possi- ble degree of economic pressure on Germany and in recommending steps should immediately be taken to pre- vent any menace from German trade warfare directed against the allies af- ter peace is signed.
 A resolution was adopted without division that with view to increasing the power of the allies in the prosecu- ton of the war, his majestys govern ment should enter into immediate con- sultation with the governments of the dominions in order. with their aid, to bring the whole economic strength of the empire in cooperation with the allies in a policy directed against the enemy.
 The principal speech was made by Walter Runciman, president of the board of trade, whose emphatic decla- rations on the importance of maintain ing British trade were regarded as largely directed towards making clear the position which caused him to hesi- tate to endorse Premier Asquith's compulsion policy last week.

DISCOVERY OF sToWAWAYs
 CAUSED EXCITEMENT
On Japanese Steamer Shinyo Maru-

San Francisco, Jan. 10-Excitement among passengers, caused by the dis covery of three stowaways and their election from the vessel, probably started rufnors that two bombs, set to explode in four hours, were found on the steamer Shinyo Maru after she sailed from here November ?, accord ing to Lacey Goodrich, general pas senger agent of the Toyo Risen Kaisha.
 The explanation was given after the publication today of a message in a letter from Mrs. A. s. Crossfield, wife of former judge of the Philippine Islands territorial court, who was a passenger. The letter was mailed from Nagasaki, Japan, to her daugh- ter Miss Ruth Crossfield of San Fran cisco.

 There will be no difficulty in get ting guarantees from Germany"
 What good are guarantees from Germany" was shouted by some of the audience and there was a great outbreak, which lasted until the meet ing was brought to an end.
