ALLIES DEMAND
BAN on U-B0ATS
Sharp Issue Between Britain
and U. S. Brought Near.

Extension of submarine warfare to the
American coast has opened a new diplo-
matte dispute with Great Britain
1t was said at the British Embassy last
night that the United States will be cali
ed upon to decide Immediately whether
any more U-boats shall be permitted to
enter American ports. The allies con-
tend that the entrance of such boats into
American harbors violates neutrality.
The question was first raised in the
case of the Deutschland. but as the
Deutschland was decided by the United
States to be a commercial submarine.
Secretary Lansing declined to pass upon
the Issue until a concrete case, involving
the entrance Of a war submarine, had
arisen.
That concrete case has now arisen.
Since the case of the Deutschland arose,
Spain, Sweden and Norway have, ac-
cording to the British Embassy, ac-
cepted the view taken by the allies and
have adopted regulations excluding war
submarines.
, The United States Navy Department
holds, however, that the U-53 was wholly
within her rights in entering Newport
and that submarines are entitled to all
the privileges OF any warship. If the
State Department maintains this atti-
tude there will be the sharpest possible
conflict of opinion between the American
and British governments.
The American government will be call
ed upon to pay indemnity for all ships
sunk by submarines that receive the hos
pitality of American ports.

The world Is fast moving toward the
last and the greatest civilization that the
universe has ever known and the North
American continent will be its seat" said
the Rev. James L. Gordon, pastor Of the
First Congregational Church in his ser
mon on The New Sovereign Race-Shall
1t Be German, British or American?"
Though not a prophet or the son OF a
prophet, predict" he said, with the
coming Of the new civilization fve pre-
dominant things:
First, universal language and that the
tongue Of John Milton and the immortal
Shakespeare. 1 stand for the protection
Of the mother tongue, the English Ian
gUage.
Second: Removal Of all tariff walls be-
tween the nations Of the earth.
Third: Political equality Of men and
women.
Fourth; Equal distribution Of wealth
according to skill and ability.
Fifth: Restriction of the liquor traf-
fc and universal sobriety.'
On next Sunday night DR.. Gordon will
give the first of a series Of sermons on
home life, How Much Does It Cost to
Furnish a Home for Two?" It was an
nounced that the furniture and fittings

ALLIES PATROL
ATLANTIC LANES
U. S. Navy Also Details War
ships to Guard Neutrality.

Through one OF the allied embassies 1t
was learned last night that French and
British cruisers of the Atlantic coast
were in conference by radio. Three
cruisers were of Hampton Roads and
two or three OF New York 1t was said
that all but one of the warships would
rush to the New England coast
Through the same source, it was ascer-
tained that the allies would hurry war
ships from Bermuda and Canada to re-
enforce the cruisers now on Atlantic pa
troll.
No information could be had here as
to possible secret base for supplying
German submarine feet.
One serious aspect of the submarine
warfare, 1t was pointed out, would be a
bound upward In marine Insurance.
In the belief that more than one sub
marine was of the coast, orders were
given by the Navy Department last night
to Increase the American coastwise pa
troll within the three-mile limit This
will be done In the interest Of neutrality.
The United States has always protested
when 1t was alleged that a British ship
invaded the three-mile limit in pursuit
or attack, and no favors will be shown
Germany In this respect.
There is no disposition at either the
State or Navy Department to dispute the
right Of Germans to make war where
they please, so long as they are outside
the three-mile limit.
