to this port, cleared last night for Genoa
with a shipment of horses said to be
consigned to the Italian government, but
she was still in the harbor tonight and
no definite time had been set for her de-
parture.
The British steamer Great City, which
has been ready to sail since daybreak
Monday. was still at Quarantine tonight.
The Lord Cromer. another Britisher with
a cargo OF horses, wheat and general
merchandise for Liverpool, will be ready
to proceed at daylight tomorrow. but It
is considered doubtful that she will leave
port at that time The steamer Maran-
co. Of British register. scheduled to sail
for Hull will probably leave for New
York tomorrow. BY passing through the
Cape Cod canal, It is believed that she
could keep within the three-mie limit for
the entire distance.

500 passengers who were booked for the

Anxiety for Canopie
Friends Of the 1900 passengers on
board the White Star liner Canopic. due

ing from Italian ports and the Azores.
are manifesting concern over her safe
ty. While nothing has been heard from
the Canopic the fact Is not considered
strange in maritime circles because 1t
is supposed that the steamer probably
has been warned Of the submarine raid
and has silenced her wireless for fear
Of disclosing her position. 1t is ex.
pected that she will alter her course or
else put into Bermuda until assured Of
safe passage to this port. The pas
sengers are said to be mostly women
and children and it Is not believed that
there are more than 10 Americans on
board.

The Allies claim that submarines are
outlaws, as the note cabled last night
from London shows, brought up the ques-
ton whether this government may be
sued for damages because of the call or
the German submarine at Newport be-
fore she started her raid against COM
merce. Under the Allies interpretation,
the position may be taken that Newport
was made the base for operations which
officials estimate already have caused S.
100000 damage to shipping and trads.
Any attempt to collect damages, how
ever, probably would be vigorously oppos-
ed as this government holds that war
ship has a right to enter a neutral har-
Dor and that the U-53 in no way attempt
ed to make Newport base.

NEW JAPAN PREMIER
Continued from Page One)

Your people know my administra-
tive record in Korea. Because l am q
successful soldier will 1t prevent my
being prudent minister Of state? Say
1t, repeat it, that 1 come as states
man who is seeking the lasting inter-
ests of my people not as a militarist
seeking glorification by the sword"
He declared emphatically as premier
he would undertake no new steps In
regard to the so called American prob
lens. including immigration. In this re-
spect, he said, he would follow closely
the policies of the outgoing cabinet.
Policy Toward China
What will be Japans policy towards
Gilman" the correspondent asked.
LAS the ministry was organized only
yesterday I have not discussed China
with my associate" he replied. How
ever, speaking generally. Japan's am
bition is to have China benefit like ia
pan from the fruits Of world civiliza-
ton and world progress. The Japanese
and Chinese people have sprung from
the same stock. Our future destiny
Is common destiny that is historically
involved"
Though he was unable to dwell on
a detailed program the Premier con-
tinued. he could affirm that America S
interests in China would be harmed in
no wise by Japan. which had no in
tention of violating China's sovereign
ty or preventing interested nations from
having equal opportunities.
people talk Of closing the door" ne
said, that is a complete non-possumuS.
So long as Japan's vital interests and
dignity are not infringed, Japan will
take no aggressive step against any
nation especially America"
Alliance with Russia
will the Japanese alliance with Rus
STA be the basis Of policy in the Orient"
he was asked.
Japan. true to her obligations, ma
turally will be bound in her future pol
icies by her alliances with Great Brit
ain and Russia he responded. But
that does not imply disregard of fos-
tering amity with others, notably Am
erica, whose friendship and co-opera-
ton We have every reason to cherish.
The Empire faces a situation which de-
mands strenuous and unified exertions
to nourish the strength Of her resources
and to place the nation on an unshak-
able foundation Of secure and lasting
peace in the Far East Our supreme
efforts abroad should be to maintain
faith with foreign power. and to be
strictly fair and upright. Japan's prog
ress a world power, which is in
evitahle must be marked with prudence
ana caution. especially in the period of
world crisis"
The Premier said he saw no lkeli-
hood of more active participation in
the war by Japan. He ridiculed sus-
licions that Japan had designs in re-
gard to the Philippines, saying that if
any power were to be there he was
glad it should be America.
Concerning the contention that the
cabinet was reactionary and that its
creation was opposed to the rights of
the people, the Premier said with mill
tary brevity: MY appointment is in
exact accordance with the provisions of
the Japanese Constitution"
Not revolutionary, not aggressive
not militaristic, but constructive-that
is my program" declared the Premier
in conclusion.

No Drastic Action

1t was indicated by officials that
facts so far collected through govern
mental agencies have disclosed no
grounds for drastic action by the Unit
ed States government because of the
attacks themselves. No evidence has
been found that international law was
violated by the German submarine or
submarines. It was understood, how
ever, that the President and Secretary
Lansing discussed the wisdom of
pointing out to Germany the inadvis-
ability of operating her submarines in
close proximity to the territorial
waters of the United States.
Might Make Mistakes
Administration officials took the po-
sition that the transferring Of subma-
rine warfare SO close to America s
shores was fraught with grave danger
because of the possibility of mistakes
being made by submarine command
ers. Reports that strong sentiment
exists in Germany for the resumption
of submarine warfare on broader
scale caused some alarm among Off
Gals.
