Seals Like United States.

There are in existence only two iEl-
portant herds of fur seals, one Of
which has its breeding grounds in the
Commander islands, belonging to Rus
sia, the other in the Pribilof islands,
belonging to the United States. OF
these the latter is much the larger.
The Pribilof islands are government
property, and thus il happens that
the United States government finds
itself the owner of by far the most
valuable herd of fur seals in the
world. This unique bit of property
has been a source of much tribula'
tomas everybody knows.

Washington, D. c., March IT,
American officials view the sub,
marine situation as taking on
aspects of much gravity. The pos,
sibility of breaking off diplomatic
relations with Germany is again
being discussed as one of the even.
Qualities which is expected to fol,
low if it is shown that the steam
ers Sussex and Englishman were
victims of submarines.
State department officials today
said that they had no information
that any other than German sub
marines were operating in the
vicinity in which the Sussex was
attacked. All agents in the vicin-
ity were being urged today to
gather conclusive evidence from
all possible agencies.
These facts stood out in the revived
submarine crisis with the central pow
ers today and were disclosed from high
and responsible sources:
First-The administration has
determined to lose no time in get
ting at the facts in the Sussex,
Englishman and other cases in
which merchantmen carrying
Americans have been attacked or
otherwise endangered.
Second-From the cumulative
nature Of the evidence it is the be-
lief Of the officials, though they
will await proof, that the subma-
rines of the central powers are
busy making unwarned attacks in
defiance of the American represen-
tations.
Third-If it is clearly established
that such is the fact in the Sussex
case or another case the president
will submit tie facts quickly to
congress and seek to bring the is
sue to head.
Fourth-Althouah it cannot be
said to be positively settled, il is
probable If an unwarranted sub
marine attack is proven there will
be no moro note writing. II is even
intimated that no explanation will
be asked If the facts are once
clearly known.
May Consult Congress.
Officials say they can come to no
conclusion before they have additional
information but there is an undercur-
rent of uneasiness over the possibility
that German submarines have renewed
their activities against passenger car
rying ships in violation of the assur-
anceS given to the United States.
The impression was general that If 1t
should be established that the ships
were victims of submarines and Presi-
dent Wilson decided to take action, he
first would consult congress.

Washington, D. c., March 27.
1T was stated authoritatively
that the German ambassador,
Count Won Bernstorff, was
mainly responsible for the re-
cent retirement of Grand Ad-
miral Won Tirpitz, who is said
to have been eliminated because
Of his views on submarine war;
fare after Count Won Bern
storff had made certain recon-
nnendations to the imperial
chancellor, Won Bethmann-
HolIwes.
According to information here
the ambassador was advised
that Admiral Won 'Trpitz pro-
posed to conduct a relentless
submarine campaign against all
shipping to British ports, and
was asked what, in his opinion,
would be the effect of such a
campaign upon neutral nations,
particularly the United States.
The ambassadors reply is
said to have been an important
factor in the retirement Of the
admiral.
