Letters From Foreign Lotteries Are Seized
 By Postal Officials

Washington. Jan 11.-Increase in the number of government lotteries abroad as the war drags itself out is forcing United States postal authori- ties to be especially watchfuI to pre- vent their advertisement, in this coun- try. The lotteries are given public ity in the United States in two ways, it was said at the Post Ohdce Department to-day. Individual letters are writ ten to American citizens in an effort to induce them to purchase tickets and news stories are circulated of fabulous sums won.
 Letters soliciting clients, if they fall into the departments hands. never reach their destinations. Some get side they do not present a suspicious appearance. All the suspected let ters are diverted and opened:,
 With news stories the department does not find it so easy to deal. The solicitors office of the department ing 9 lottery must be barred from the mails Under the departments rui- jug this means any story giving pub- ltcity to lottery. It does not have to be a paid advertisement.
 Many news stories of European lot- teries have been printed recently, the department says, which approach closely a violation of the law, 4 story that mentions the name of a winner or winners of lottery is held to be distinct violation, A story, too, that might be expected to at- tract such attention to a lottery that readers would investigate is held to be a violation.
 A section of the law quoted by the department Feadsi

 Most of the lotteries being car ried pn in Europe now are For war benefits. Hospitals, the wounded, so1- diers' dependents and other war vic= tins are aided:

RESPECTS where we see oppor-
tunities from time to time to
make refinements and additional
improvements.
The new price of $685. is only
made possible by our greatly
increased production and the fact
that we specialize in only one
automobile.
Every Maxwell car is identically
the same as every other Maxwell
car.
Last year the Maxwell car rep.
resented a big value. Many
thousands of satisfied Maxwell
owners are the evidence of that.
But this year-at the reduced
price of S595-the Maxwell stands
out as the one big automobile

by cable all information that can be
gathered.
Ii the evidence finally shows that the
Marina was sunk without warning, the
German government, it was agreed here
today, will face the necessity of taking
drastic action to expiate the offense. One
submarine commander, will have been
proved guilty of prosecuting RELENTLESS
and indiscriminate warfare against yes
sells of commerce." the penalty for which
this government declared in its Sussex
note Of April Is would be the breaking
off of diplomatic relations.
Recognition Of the gravity of such ac.
tion by a submarine commander was
shown at the German embassy where
it was said the commander would be
punished, if found guilty, his action dis
avowed by the government and repara-
tion made.
Today, II was made clear, however
that in asking Berlin, through the Amer
lean embassy there, for the Admiralty
information on the sinking of the Ma
rina, it was not intended to intimate
Germanys submarine pledges have been
violated Such information as Germany
may have is hkely TO be essential to
the clearing up Of disputed points in the
case.
Because Of the large number OF
Americans among the survivors of the
Marina. their affidavits probably will
prove the deciding factor in determin-
ing this governments action.
Secretary Lansing has refused to
discuss the matter in the absence Of
definite proof of Just what happened.
He Is keeping President Wilson ad-
vised. however, OF all information that
reaches the department.
II the affldavits OF survivors bear
out the early reports that the Marina
was sunk without warming, before
daybreak, in a rough sea and that no
effort was made by the submarine to
assure the safety Of thoses on board,

fend the submarine commanders ac-

alleged to have accosted Mrs. Merchant

Mrs. Merchants screams attracted
the attention Of officer Tobin. See

and nearly throwing the speaker, Miss
Ray Heydrick, into Mysteries Wilson
beat a hasty retreat, and was finally
located in one of the upper rooms Of
the building. He was disorderly while
being taken to the lookup and was
placed in the cell with considerable
difficulty.
When arraigned before Mayor Cav.

The Americans arrived here with

The Marina was attacked early Sat
urday while en- route from Glasgow
to Baltimore. A torpedo struck her
amidships, on the starboard side.
The explosion blew a great hole in

her out OF the water, the survivors
said. She rolled over on one side as
she settled, but remained afloat twen-

Captain Brown was the last man to
leave the ship. He jumped just be-

the boats and was drowned.
Some of the survivors say a second
torpedo was fred as the Marina was
settling. One of the Marina's boats
was rolled against the steamers side
by the heavy seas and crushed. All
the occupants were drowned. The
other boats drifted for eighteen hours
before rescue steamers were sighted.
