Inasmuch as it is admitted that q

State department officials are in
clined to minimize the threats OF re-

declare that it would be fool hardy
for the allies, dependent as they are
on American munitions Of war, to at
tempt to cripple the general foreign
trade OF the United States by with
holding the use Of their merchant
ships. Such an attempt. they indicate,
may well lead to the passage by con-
gress of an embargo on the shipment

Death of School Girl is Puzzle
to Officials Who Hold
Young Orpet.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
WAUKEGAN, H., Feb. 14.-Wheth-
er the mysterious death of Marian
Lambert was a plot, paralleling the
death Of Miss Avis Linnell. for which
Rev. Clarence Richeson died in the
Massachusetts electric chair, or sui
eide under strange circumstances,
was still unsolved toady.
Even the Lake county officials who
have preferred murder charge
against VIM. H. Orpet, University of
Wisconsin junior, in connection with
Miss Lambert's death, admitted today
that they cannot tell.
States Attorney Ralph }. Dady,
though contending that Orpet's arrest
was justified, admitted that he is not
sure.
1t was understood today that efforts
would be made to free young Orpet
before night Miss Lambert's mother,
it was said. believes the student Is
innocent and has added her plea to
that of Orpet's mother.
The Orpets and Lamberts, who are
caretakers of adjoining estates Of
millionaires at Lake Forest have been
friends for many years.
Orpet in his cell at the Lake county
Jail, revealed the sordid story of his
relations with Miss Lambert, but con-
stantly reiterated that he is innocent
of murder.
Marion, he said, committed suicide,
because she thought she was to be
publicly disgraced. They had been
intimate for several months, he said,
though he did not love her and did
not believe she loved him. Authori
ties today planned to question closely
Miss Josephine Davis, chum of Miss
Lambert. who. Dady said, acted as
mediator between the student and
Miss Lambert Miss Davis, according
to Orpet's parents will give testimony
indicating Marian planned suicide.
Basing their activities on the MUIR
der theory, the officials pointed today
to a strange similarity between the
deaths Of Miss Lambert and that of
Avis Linnell.
Both were choir singers, both fear
ed they were to be disgraced and
both died of mysterious poison. 1t
was contended by Prosecutor Dady
today that if a murder theory is car
ried out, the fact that Miss Linneu
took the poison believing 1t an abor-
tive medicine would be strikingly
borne out in the Lambert case.
Prosecutor Dady declared today he
had no intention of dropping the case

wilson, it became known in high OIL
ciai circles today, Is In perfect accord
with Secretary Lansing as to the pol
lev to be pursued regarding the teu
tonic decree that all armed merchant.
men. passenger as well as freight,
will be torpedoed without warning. The
president, his close advisors say, CON
s!ders the issues which may arise
through carrying out of the new teu-
tonic submarine policy, fraught with
possibilities as grave, IL not more 80.
I than any which have confronted the
nation since the first shot OF the
European war was fired.
So far only the smaller points which

bodying the governments attitude.
have been determined. The view the
administration will take in the event
OF Americans being on board tor.
pedoed ships, however, is said to be-
decided. Whether warning issued
to American citizens to stay off armed
merchantmen would relieve the CEN
tral powers OF any liability for dam
ages is one of the most difficult prob
lens presented. No conclusion on
this point has been reached.
The state department was advised
today that photographs of the British
orders to ship captains to ram or
rum" when they meet submarines, are
on the way from Germany.
After perusal of the German not1h-
cation today, state department off,
cials said Germany draws no dfstinc-
ton between passenger and freight
vessels. The name merchantmen
includes both classes OF ships.
While state department officials
were studying the German pronuncia-
mento, the text of Austrfa's decree
arrived and will be sent to the presi-
dent with the one from Berlin. 1t is
much shorter than the German paper.
but constrains practically the same
arguments.
The German announcement. Secre-
tary Lansing said, probably will be
given to the press tomorrow morning;
the Austrian communication the same
afternoon.
1t was practically admitted today
that IL the United States takes a
German view, the state department
will have to go beyond a mere re-
striction OF harbor facilities for armen
merchant ships and warning to
Americans to keep off such vessels.
While situation Of this kind would
remove the possibility OF Americans
sailing on armed ships back and forth
