New York Is Anxious.

NEW YORK, March 3.--Ad7ices from London that the German sub marius campaign has opened by the destruction of two British vessels off the coast of England has caused grave apprehension for the safety of the lives of passengers on liners sail ing from New York which have en- tered or are near the war z,rrs Three Italian liners, all of which carry American citizens, were due to have passed into the Mediterranean sea yesterday and are in the watrrs where Austrian submarines are be- lieyed to be awaiting them. The Italian vessels all carried armament which would make them special ob- jects of attack by submarines. anu it is feared that fearful toll or lives of non-combatants will be claimed by the Teutonic submarines dur,rg the first days of the new campaign.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March D. At conference at the White House yesterday President Wilson and the leaders of the administration forces in both the senate and house made plans for bringing the agitation in Congress regarding armed merchant men to an end at once with demon stration of unity such as could not fail to convince the German govern ment that the American congress and people stand firmly behind the for eign policy of the government.
 President Wilson declared that he was unable to proceed with the nego- tiations with the German government regarding the Teutonic submarine warfare while the matter of warning Americans from trave..ng on mer- chantmen of any nation was being discussed by Congress
 During the conference President Wilson made it clear that he did not want the resolutions which had been int, ouuced in congress providing that he should warn Americans from trav- cling on armed merchantmen to come to a vote, as that might be mislead- ing to the European governments as indicating that there was dissension in the government in regard to the foreign policy.

LONDON, March 2.-Offirial ad- yices from the French army head quarters at Verdun are to the effect: that the German offensive is dimin- fsAfng and that the terrific battle which has been raging along front of E miles for moro than week bssore Verdun is being transferred to the east. It is uelleved here that the enormops casualties suffered by the Eermsa troops during the past week have convinced the Germans that the attempt to capture Verdun would be too costly in men. The dispatches state that the sudden concentration of German troops at eastern points surprised the French and that sev- eral small villages were captured by the Teutons before French reinforce ments reached the front.

WHITE STAR LINERS

Passenger Vessels will not be Sent into European War Zone Dur

NEW YORK, March 2.-The of- cials of the White Star Steamship company have announced that all sailings of the liners of the company have been cancelled and that no pas senger ships will be dispatched for the European war zones until after April IS.
 The inauguration of the new sub- marine campaign by the German and Austrian admiralties has caused the insurance rates to become proh.bitive and owners of vessels are declining to send their ships into the danger zones.
 4 It is stated by the officials of the company that insurance rates have several hundred per cent since the beginning of the G remsuna since the beginning of the German activities and that the rates now charged would absorb the profits even at the enormously in- creased freight rates.
 The officials of other steamship have taken similar action and have cancelled all sailings Of their vessels until further notice, when 1t Is believed that the activity of the German submarines will have been curtailed by the Allies.

GRANT LYMAN HAS
 BEEN CAPTURED
Man Who Used Mails to Defraud Inc vestOrs in Mining Stocks Will :,
 Go Back to Ellis Island.

TAMPA, Fla, Mar. 2.-The sus- pect who was arrested here last week by the local police has been identified by secret service officials as Grant Lyman the confidence man for whom Ia nationwide search was being made by the federal authorities. He did not contest extradition and was taken to New York yesterday, to face the charge of having used the mails to perpetrate fraud.
 Lyman has already served one sen- tence at Ellis Island when he was convicted on a similar charge as that which he is now accused. After being liberated from prison he established himself in New York under an as stunned name and soon began receiv- ing a noticeably heavy mail. The pos tai authorities investigated and dis covered that he had used the mails to defraud investors in mining stocks out of nearly a half million dollars in two years. A search of Lyman's effects by se- cret service detectives also revealed the fact that he had been acting as a spy for the German government and had been furnished information from England by the wife of an English officer who Is now with his troops at the front.
