ALLIES TO OFFER FURTHER PROTEST ON U-B0AT LINER

washington, July 21-Further pro- tests by the British and French em- bassies against American recognition of the German submarine Deutsch- land as merchantmen were consid- cred possibility today by State De- partment officials. Clearance of the vessel. 1t was thought, might draw from the allies a more definite obejc- ton than the one formal complaint lodged at the department on the sub marines arrival.
 So far the embassies have suggested only that the Deutschland is a poten- tial war craft and representations, it was believed. would suggest that the vessel lacks many characteristics es- sential to merchant ship and might even attempt to hold the United Jtates liable for damage the submar- inc might do to allied shipping after she leaves, American. waters

PEOPLE STARVING.
NO AID POSSIBLE
Whole Country Has Been
Devastated and Suffering
OF People Intense.

DERLIN, Germany, March 1.-THE
fate Of conquered Russian Po-
land is still hanging in the bal
ance. Three different schemes are be-
ing discussed here by the men who
hold the fate Of nearly 1OO.OOO.OOO peo-
pie in the hollow of their hands.
The first scheme. whose originators
are the kaiser, chancellor Won Beth
man, Hollweg and herr Delbrueck, pro-
vides for the Incorporation into Prussia
OF the Polish governments of LOmZa,
Suvalki and Courland The govern
ments Of Wilma, KOvno. Minsk and
kingdom Of Poland, preferable with
one of the kaisers younger sons as
king and the kingdom must enter into
a military custom convention with
Germany.
Would Divide the Country.
The second project, advocated by the
Germans crown prince and field mar
shall Won Hindenburg, suggests that
POlandbe divided between Germany and
Austria, the former country to get
including the city Of Warsaw, Germany
is also to have all the land along the
Baltic cost now in her possession.
The third plan, which emanates Aus
tria. provides for an autonomous kind
dom of Poland under the suzerantv Of
TO be the most favored one, because it
is consideded most likely to be accepted
by the civil population of Poland, and
because 1t will permit of an imm ediate
mobilization of all men of military age
still remaining in the unhappy country.
Conditions Growing Worse.
In the meantime all reports from
Poland agree that conditions there are
going from bad to worse. The country
was devastated beyond description by
the armies Of both Sides and the Russ
ians, when retreating, carried every
thing away with them, leaving practi-
cally not a scrap of metal Even the
the rails were removed from the road
beds Of the railroads in many places
and thrown into the rivers and swamps
or taken away.
The suffering Of the population, it is
said by the German press, surpasses all
Imagination. Industry, commerce, and
farming alike are stagnant, and even
the formerly wealthy classes are on the
verge Of starvation. Germany. is of
course, utterly unable to render any
assistance.
